:love: Hey ladies! I was just reading the uber poplular "How did you meet your SO" thread out in the general msg boards... And it got me thinking.

Who is dating/married to a Shorty and who has a Tally? :laugh: (I couldn't think of a better way to put it lol)

I am 5'11" and my love is 6'3" :heart: We have been together a little over a year.

What about you???

    I'm 5'11.5 and my fiance is 6'1. When I wear a small heel, we're about the same height. I like seeing eye-to-eye.

    I love this! I had on my new boots the other day, and my man was like... "Those make you so tall!" hahaha like I'm not tall already. I love when he says stuff like that though... makes me feel small :wink:

    I dated a 6'11" guy in college... but I have hovered between 6'2-6'4 for the most part. I tried to date a guy who was like 5'9 once... I just couldn't do it.

    I'm 6'0" and my hub is 6"4". It took me a long time to find him! Although a long, long, long time ago I dated a guy who was 5"4". We just didn't stand up very much! :wink: :wink:

    I only dated one shorty (@ 5'10")- it was in high school. The first formal we went to, in the picture I sort of knelt down to make him look taller- the pic was really bad. He was super cute... but too short for me.

    As I got older- I told Mom I don't date anyone under 6'2" and she warned me that I was limiting myself too much- cutting out 90+% of the populations. But I knew what I liked and wanted. Now I'm super glad I can wear (hobble on) my 5" platform pumps and look hubby in the eye. Perfect!

    I totally agree! I am almost 6'1" and I don't mind wearing heels and I wont date anyone shorter either! I mean I get that I'm taller than the average MALE but that doesn't mean I should have to date one! Not that guys that are shorter than 6'1'ish are bad, just not for me!!

    I married a shorty. :) I'm 6'0" and my DH of 15 years is only 5' 9". I dated tall and short guys, but many of the tall guys I met were too wrapped up in themselves. My short boyfriends always worshipped the ground I walked on.

    My husband and I are both slightly over 5'10". I dated two "shorties" and you want to talk about short man complex.

    I'm 5'11" (in the morning, lol) and my husband is 6'3". I've only ever dated tall guys. My basis for feeling attractive is way too tied up in the "I'm loud and sassy in public but at home (ahem) please make me feel feminine and little and delicate" so I totally require a bigger guy, both in build and height. In fact, I just recently weighed in and officially now weigh less than him! Never happened before in my life. It was my biggest sv/nsv yet :-) I felt like the skinniest girl in the world!!

    Prior to my wonderful SO I only dated men taller than me. In fact, when I would go out and about, shorter men didn't even register on my radar - like, I literally did not see them.

    When I met my partner, I very almost didn't date him because he about 2 inches shorter than me. It was a very conscious decision on my part to give the short guy a go. I'm so glad I did. I am with the love of my life! I sometimes think about what I would have missed out on had I kept to my previous 'rule' ....I don't even notice the height difference now, not one bit.

    Where do you find these guys?!?!

    I live in SW Michigan. I swear it's a tall area. I am 6' tall and I was NOT the only girl that tall. There were 4 of us in my class in high school that were 6', and TONS of girls 5'9" and up.

    There's a lot of Dutch heritage in the SW Michigan area, and I've heard the Netherlands is currently the tallest country.
