View Full Version : Female taller than male partner?
Any male have a female partner taller than them? Or female have a male partner shorter than them? If so what is it like? Is the relationship not as good?
How do males and females feel in these situations or relationsips?
An inch or two taller, but I've never dated say a 6+ foot tall basketball player ;) Keep in mind that I'm only 5'10ish. I'd say that height doesn't matter, but it all depends on what your attracted to.
Shortarses such as myself can't afford to be so choosy. What blinkin difference does height make?! If she's too tall to kiss, we can just stand on a Yellow Pages or two.

I've been attracted to taller women, and I've seen a married couple where the wife was 8-10 inches taller than the husband.
It doesn't matter.
In my earliest years of university, there was one lady athlete who played basketball and volleyball. She was very attractive, and she ended up dating a guy who was about the same height. What bothered me most was her posture - the way she held her head with her neck leaning forward - so she didn't appear so tall. I imagine she felt self-conscious about her height. I would have wished she hold herself tall and straight. In her elderly years, that posture would likely be problematic as the vertebrae reduce in density and the connective tissue weaken. I see many elderly people stooping with excessive bending/bowing of the vertebrae, and it is largely avoidable IMO.
Luckily, I'm not attracted to taller women. Couldn't afford it, anyways. :tongue:

I wouldn't be bothered by a taller female partner.

How do you mean? Is it cheaper to take a male out on a date? :biggrin:

Well I meant i've got no cash and women are expensive, but perhaps a man would be cheaper on a date, I don't know.

Well, depends what kind of women we're talking about here. :wink:
If you want my opinion on the same general level, I'd say women are definitely not expensive. :smile:
I date a woman who is 2 inches taller (easy to do when you're 5'5) and for the most part it's not a problem. I wouldn't say that it adversely affects the relationship, though it can play havoc with the logistics of displaying one's affection.

5'5???
5'10??
I'll never figure out you Americans and your measurement system...
How much is 180cm?Is it considered tall ?
Here 180cm is just almost average, Almost everyone I know is either just below 180 or more..

180 cm = 70 " = 5' 10''. That might be considered tall. I wouldn't - but then tall is relative :biggrin: .
However, I think average height for women is about 5' 6'' (167 cm) and for men about 5' 10'' +/- 1'' (178 +/- 2.5 cm).
Luckily, I'm not attracted to taller women. Couldn't afford it, anyways. :tongue:
Hahahaha, same here and thank god in my country taller women are rare!.
I'm 5'11''.
I'm tall, so I would want a girl that is slightly on the taller size, but not one that is the same height as me. A girl that is 6' would be pushing it. Only once did I see a girl as tall as me while in California, it was not attractive.

So astronuc '' means inches?
and the '?
But I never considered myself tall, well unless comparing with a girl.

Sorry ziad, yes '' means inches - sort of a units short hand.
5' 5" means 5 feet, 5 inches or 65 inches.
5' 10" means 5 feet, 10 inches or 70 inches.
I much prefer metric.

I'm biased, the only time I used other then metric is the 8 pounds dumbbells I got when I was 16 years old, so anything else is useless, or dumb for me.
But the idea is, well for me I'm a science guy, and science deals with metric, I never heard of a photon wave length of 10^-9inches, or a planet with 10^6 feet radius.
Ah, Never mind just babbling.

I use both metric and English at work, so I have to quickly convert back and forth.
In the US nuclear industry, we have mixed unit kW/ft (linear power or linear heat generation rate), while the rest of the world uses, kW/m or W/cm.
I prefer using C or K for temperature.
And I absolutely detest BTU, BTU/ft2-hr or other similar units.
Oh, and I occasionally have to work with 'mils' (0.001 inch) or micro-inches! Arggghhh!! It should be microns or micrometers!
I wonder what is the opinion of the female.

In general, they love tall men.
In general, they love tall men.
From you said it could also be true that they love shorter men as well.
But how are they put off by shorter men compared to how much men are put off by taller women? Assuming similar magnitudes of shorter and taller.
I had taller GFs in HS9(+2-3") and later in college (+4-6") with no problems. I played music throughout college and studied poetry and English literature as well. My tall escorts appreciated the respect with which I treated them and they reciprocated. Often, ladies who were tall early would hide their height by scootching down, tipping their heads down, etc. That is crap! Lovely ladies are still lovely if they are tall, willowy girls, and they need to be appreciated.

Size doesn't matter! (It had to be said.)
As for people slouching to hide their height, I've seen tall men doing that too. They'd look so much better and healthier if they didn't slouch, and I think the slouching gives away their lack of self-confidence, which is far more of a turn-off than their height ever might be.

amen to that!
It's the whole sexual dimorphism thing.
Centimeters? No!, Inches.
Half a foot is quite significant.
I'm only 5'3", so it's unusual to find a man shorter than I am. I did date one guy shorter than me once, it really didn't matter.
I prefer men that are around 6 feet tall, 6'3" to 6'4" is about my limit, without heels, I'm looking into their stomach. :grumpy:
Yeah, thats why I dont like short women Evo. I dont want to get on my knees to give her a hug. I wont date a woman thats too short.
Height does matter, a lot. Im 6'-4". So some people here might consider a tall girl what I could call a normal height. But a girl at 6' is pushing it.
The worst is a tall girl thats huge, not fat, but big....big like a man...shudder. I've seen some girls that are 6' and 180lbs....yikes.
Cyrus, in my sophomore year in college I lived with a lovely lady that was taller than I was (~4" or so), and was a lifeguard with an athletic figure and a baby-face. We shared a love of music, English Romantic literature, and philosophy. She was several years older than I was, and she was prepared to move on when she graduated. I was prepared, too, but saddened and wistful when she was gone. The night we met, I had waded through deep snow to a local watering-spot and sat myself down near the jukebox and that long,tall cutie came over to my table and asked if she could sit with me if she bought me a drink. Duh!!!!! I didn't need a great pickup line to be impressed by that lady - she pretty much had me when she smiled at me on her way to my table.

It seems like you are popular with females. It is because your interests are shared by many females?
I have to say, by and large the best looking girls I have seen are not tall, but average height. Most tall girls have flat chests and asses.
Personally, I think a nice face is better than a nice body because most people can work out and have a nice body, but you have to be born with an attractive face. A nice face is 1/million. Im not saying I would never go out with a tall girl, but if I had to take my pick I would go with the shorter one 9/10.

How tall is tall that you describe?
Best height, 5'8"-5'10"
Anything lower than 5'8" is too short for me, because thats getting close to a foot height difference.
You are asking alot of questions about relationships....you BETTER NOT start another "I need help dating" thread or I'm going to find where you live and throw your monitor out your window.

Wow in NZ that would be counted as above avergae height most females here are about 5'6"
Umm Ive never dated/kissed or even hugged a guy shorter than me theyve always been slightly or alot taller (I tend to go for tall guys not sure why that is). But its not that difficult finding guys taller than you when you are about 5'4"

If a guy were a few inches/centimeters shorter than me, I really wouldn't care about the height difference.

Every guy knows this.
Anyways, I'm 5'11, so basically 5'3 to like 5'9 is good for me. I think I would pick the shorter girl everytime.
It seems like you are popular with females. It is because your interests are shared by many females?She couldn't have known my interests when she approached me. I am not pushy or even gregarious, and I probably gave her a smile and a polite nod when I entered the room - at most. I guess I am non-threatening/approachable...it sure isn't because of my good looks. :rofl:
I am 26 and 184 tall. My wilfe is 17 and 186 so she will grow about 3 cm more....
Your wife is 17?Where do you live?
I am Greek and she is Australian.
I'd probably only date girls that are shorter than I. Shorter girls are cute.
I second that.
If a guy were a few inches/centimeters shorter than me, I really wouldn't care about the height difference.
Would 10 centimeters qualify as "a few"? :tongue2:

The biggest problem with a large age difference is that conversations may be a bit awakard or at least not very constructive. Both parties may have a hard time understanding each other.

She is smarter and more mature than all the people I know combined.

Also what about the fact that taller girls tend to have a deeper voice as well, which is considered unattractive to the male.
I dont know about that. I've seen some short girls with throaty voices and I dont like it. Theres one lady on the news who sounds like she lost her voice every time she talks. I cant stand to hear her voice.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British man has met and married a 22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her phone number and then sending her a text message.
David Brown, 24, says he woke up one morning after a night out with friends with a telephone number constantly running through his head. He decided to contact it, sending a message saying "Did I meet you last night?."
Random recipient Michelle Kitson was confused and wary at first but decided to reply and the two began exchanging messages. Eventually they met and fell in love.
. . . .
After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple -- he's six foot seven inches tall and she's five foot four -- . . .

But every time I see a couple where girl is taller than guy,It looks cute and cool to me.

Attraction can be a subtle thing so I won't try to define it, but if given the choice between meeting two women that I'm already attracted to, one taller than me and the other shorter, I'd want to meet the taller one. There's something more exciting in that first face-to-face meeting with a taller woman. I don't know if it's that there's some unconscious perception that the taller woman is more of a challenge, or what. But there's definitely more spring in my step when approaching a tall woman for the first time.
I do think that tall women, generally speaking, are more elegant. And elegance happens to be very attractive to me.
Or maybe it's just the novelty of it.
Or maybe it's transference. Many years ago I fell for a woman who was about one inch taller than me. I can still remember being nose to nose with her for the first time and having to look UP into her eyes. Oh my, how divine is the dance of love!

No just wanting to know the opinions of females.

I don't think one needs to give a definition of flirting more than one needs to give a definition of partner for example. But the word cute is different depending on the sex of the person.

But how does the woman feel?If the woman is self-confident, mature, and honest with herself, it will not matter to her if her mate/companion is taller or shorter. Most of my GFs from HS to college were taller than me because I am a short guy (a little over 5'6" now and was about 5'4" when I hit college). My best buddy my freshman year was a lovely 5'10" lady and we were inseparable. It never turned into a flaming earth-scorching relationship, but it certainly was serious enough that we would hug and kiss whenever we met on campus and neither she or I ever allowed anybody of the opposite sex to hit on us when we were together. Guys in my dorm would say really off-the-wall stuff about why she might want to spend all her free time with me. I'd tell them the truth (we shared interests and were comfortable with one another and respectful and supportive of one another) and they would ignore all that and concentrate on "scoring" with the babes. Idiots.

Cute is a very subjective word.
Guys, I was being an ***. :wink:
[/sarcasm]
But how does the woman feel?
To be honest, I think my long-lost-love would have preferred a man taller than me, that is to say, taller than her, because her father was very tall. I'm 5'11" and she was (presumably still is) maybe a fraction over six feet. Her father was about 6'4" or 5".

Why was she your lost love? Did she leave you for a taller man?
My first wife left me for a taller woman.
Why was she your lost love? Did she leave you for a taller man?
No, nothing like that. She moved north for school and I moved south for a new beginning. We kept in touch for awhile and then we didn't. Can't really explain it.
It kind of surprised me when I referred to her as long lost. Back then I figured she'd fade into the past like everything and one else. Sometimes only the passing of years can reveal the influence that someone truly has had on our lives, on who we have become. There remains a thread in my life, in my psyche that followed would lead straight back to her warm brown eyes.
Is that love? Or maybe appreciation, or gratitude? Perhaps just a more mature valuation of her soulful spirit.
