As a taller than average girl I find it downright nauseating when I see one of the few legitimately 6 foot guys in this city walking the streets with a 5 foot girl. What is the appeal of these midgets? Do you really want a gf you can carry around like a baby? I get that girls want a “protector” but honey, your protector could be 5’5 and he would still be a head taller than you! Save the vertically gifted for the vertically gifted … how else are we ever going to evolve?
— No, I do not play basketball.

What about short guys liking tall women? I like Amazons.
You’re just jealous.
As tough as it is to find tall guy’s in the city…it’s even harder to find tall girls. Tall-dude was just taking what he could get. Or maybe he likes her personality…whatever.
Just because you’re both tall doesn’t automatically mean that you’ll be a perfect match/have anything else in common. Superficial much?
I don’t normally say things like this, but really, get over yourself. You think that tall guys should only be with tall girls? Short girls want a “protector”? It’s nauseating to see a tall guy with a short girl? Seriously? If those are the kind of criteria you go by for couples, then you’re amazingly shallow.
You consider yourself “vertically gifted”? That’s good, you hang onto that positive thought, because it doesn’t sound like you’re ‘personality gifted’.
I’m 5’3″ and my BF is 6’2″. Suck on that.
Get over yourself, or become more comfortable with your height and date people based on their personality, not their “vertically giftedness”.
Sounds like win win….shes practically already on her knees for him!!!!
I’m 5″2′ and my guy is 6″3′.
Suck it up, Princess.
Just because you’re jealous.
why you coming down on us vertically challenged chicks (I’m 5’5, my soon to be hubby is 6’4) when obviously the tall boys don’t want you? I agree with those on here telling you to suck it up..you’re hatin on the wrong people…
I’m 5″3, by life partner is 6″5. Our height had nothing to do with why we ended up together. I found your post to be very shallow and a tad nauseating. You may be tall but you have a lot of growing up to do.
i dont think height should have anything to do with it! if you like someone you like them
In defense of the OP…it is pretty normal for a tall guy to date a short girl, but much harder to find a short guy with a tall girl. Tall girls have a hard time getting guys because the short guys don’t want them and there are a limited number of guys of similar height. So my tall female friends say.
C’mon, guys, height is a wonderful matchmaker. Maybe we could also match people by skin colour. Or religion or politics. Maybe by musical preference. Or hair colour. If we’re careful, we should be able to make sure there is nobody for anybody.
ohhhh this will really piss off the OP… hehe
Little 4’10.5″ me scored myself a 6′ tall husband!!!
Or… maybe she has a snapper like a knothole, ever think of that?
I love how people under 5′ always report their height to the fraction of an inch. Every little bit counts.
Again, it’s pretty easy for short girls to get tall guys. How many of you know couples where the guy is 5′ and the girl is 6′ tall? I can understand the frustration. It’s enough to make one a cantankerous and shallow bitcher.
So, you want two people that are right for each other to break up just because it would be convenient for you to date the tall guy?
Really?
I’ve always been attracted to short girls. They’re cute. If you don’t like it, I don’t fuckin care.
I’m not a super tall guy myself at (just under) 6 feet, but have been with a girl who was under 5 feet and it was awesome. Not to get into some greasy details, but there are other certain benefits for taller guys dating shorter chicks as well, if you know what I mean… heheh.
I can sympathize to an extent with the OP – at 5’10 I am taller than the average man, and I find Halifax in particular to have a shortage of legit 6 footers. Obviously looks aren’t everything and people are attracted to each other for different reasons (I have dated shorter guys), but I would be lying if I said I wasn’t more attracted to a guy who I can wear heels around. That being said, I love being tall and to all the posters who have called the OP “jealous” … sorry to burst your bubble but I strongly doubt that the amazons are jealous, I know I’m not!
I refuse to date a guy under 5’10. Call me shallow, but I really have a thing for the tall ones. Besides, the average height for women is 5’4…so your argument is a pretty unrational.
this is from my own personal experience based on a small sample size…. but I find most women over 6 feet are insecure and self conscious about their above average height and compensate by pretending that any guy under 6’4 is a midget and only “real men” are above x height.
They always drone on and on about how they love tall guys, taller the better…blah blah blah. Its just because they had the shit teased out of them in highschool and are constantly being asked if they play basketball or “hows the weather up there?” to the point were they now have a complex about their own height and being around Wilt Chamberlain makes them feel “normal” i guess.
On the flip side, guys do feel compelled to lie about their height for acceptance. There are tons of 5’10’ers out there telling people they are 6 feet tall like that is the height that being a “real man” starts at.
And OP – Implying that you can lay claim to tall guys like you should have first pick is ridiculous. The only reason you can get away with such non sense is because height is still an acceptable form of discrimination. If you can on here and said something racially discriminatory like ” whats with all these Asian girls dating “our” white guys” if wouldn’t even have been posted.
Im 5’2, BF is 5’3. I would be jealous too if I were you, The sex with a much taller guy is amazing.
Whoops, that should be BF is 6’3.
I see the OP’s point. 5 ft tall dudes would always be staring at her nostril hairs when they have a conversation…I can see why she’d hate that.
My first was 5’6″, the second 6’2″ – I’m 5’7″ – size 15 feet sure as hell trumps an ankle scratcher.
Wow, TTFN, size 15? My SO’s got 13s and we get all kinds of comments. Hey OP, I’m just shy of 5’3″ and my guy is 6’2″ – ha ha in my best Nelson Muntz laugh.
Dumbest bitch ever…MYOFB. If you’re not getting the tall guys, maybe you should take a 2nd look at yourself rather than blaming others.
Yeah, Three, hub-unit can never get the right size shoes – if you see a 60 year old guy with boot boxes on his feet, that’s my honey.
HAHAHA boot boxes.
I LOVE being 5’3″…I’d rather be a bit on the short size than tall — I mean you can always hem a pair of pants, but it’d look awfully weird to have fabric sewn onto the bottom of your gargantuanly long pant legs.
I’m 6’5…it’s pretty good
So, I’m not a tall guy…but I would totally do a tall chick..so…I don’t know…suck on that???
honey,we’re all the same size when it comes to laying down and having sex.why get so hung up on this.i’m 5’9,and i used to date a really sexy 6’4 chick.and i never once in the 2 years that we were going out,thought about height.it was a thing called mutual attraction.big or small,i love you all.and looks don’t mean shit either.some of the lesser looking beauties,are the horniest females i ever knew.who gives a shit about looks,size,height,or beauty,when there is a good heart inside.love ya all.
taller guys have bigger bratwurst, shorter girls have smaller foo foo valves
Too bad that the OP does not seem to be “Intellectually Gifted” in addition to vertically gifted, but I guess God only gives out so many gifts.
Her post ends with a claim she doesn’t play basketball.
Perhaps that may be part of her problem. Because she isn’t a basktball player…& possibly not a fan either, she is missing out on a place where many tall guys go to participate.
So go take in a Basketball game deary, & maybe you’ll meet a 7 ft hunk of love .
I’m 5’2 and have always dated taller. Its not our fault your freakishly tall. Men don’t want to date a girl who reminds them of a man. Fix your personality and maybe more guys would want to date you.
I’m a tall guy… and short girls are hotter… sorry OP.
There’s nothing more uncomfortable than walking with your same-sized boyfriend and his arm on your shoulder. Shoulder-to-shoulder just don’t fit. My husband’s quite a bit taller than me and I fit right into his armpit walking together. What is there to complain about?
6’2″ here, my lady is 5′ even.
No one wants to date some tall ass stork girl when the normal size (and petite) ones are around. Not to mention their clothes fit too…
Maybe move to a small town where the male to female ratio is higher? I’m sure at least one guy will settle for you. 🙂
I’m 6′. I like tall girls. All those legs going everywhere.
Still no word from a short guy dating a tall girl though…huh.
My friend is just under 6′ and she regularly dates shorter guys.
Who cares anymore? The old “the man should be taller” cliche is tired. (Says the 5’2 girl…)
I’m 6′ and don’t care if the woman I’m dating is tall or short, as long as she’s NOT a bitch. Did ya get that OB?
If you saw Bruno! you would understand the physical advantages in the sack…
I’m 5’1 and I’ve dated everywhere between almost equal height and 6’2— I don’t really think about things in terms of height, just the guy itself. But then again, my best GIRL friend is about 6’3, and I agree that we look a little amusing together. I’ve always made jokes that I’m her talking woodland creature sidekick.
Yeah I don’t get it either. I can’t stand short guys….they usually have those tree trunk legs like an elephant. So unappealing.
My gf is 5’2 while im 6’1, which seems pretty normal to me but none the less simple fact is that they are easier to toss around in the sack…
As a woman who is 5ft even, with a husband who is 6’1″ I believe that its not a problem with us smaler girls, it’s obviously a problem with you. If you cant get a man who is as tall as you, then you are deficient in some way. That means that you should not procreate. Dont harsh my mellow just because someone peed in your gene pool.
I’m a 5’10 female, and my boyfriend is 5’9. We’re very attracted to eachother and he has no problems throwing me around.
Sorry OP you have such a problem with being “vertically gifted”, it doesn’t seem to bother me.. maybe you should take up basketball?
I think you got burned by one, he must of left you for a shorty, comin from someone who is 5″1 and my man is 6″3,
Personally, I don’t like really tall guys, anything over 6 feet is too tall for me (I’m 5’7″)…and I love my height, would prefer a few more inches. When I wear my 3″ heels I feel sexy as hell, and I notice the men notice too…not sure I agree with the comments above about men liking shorter girls but I guess there are some around. I love it when I stand up to get off the bus and I tower over all the 5’5″ gals…love feeling like a sexy Amazon woman!
