My fiance is 3 inches taller than me (6'2" to my 5'11"). Prior to him, though, all of my serious relationships were with men either my height or shorter. My shortest boyfriend was 5'8" and actually I was more attracted to him physically than anyone else I've been with. I was often pursued by tall guys (especially the REALLY tall guys) but for some reason I was just never attracted to them. It's weird! I would try dating tall guys but just never "felt it." I was always more attracted to guys who were around my height or shorter. Strange.

I do need a guy to be broader than me though, and I guess I tend to like the broad body type more than anything. That way I still feel small and protected.

I also used to never wear heels. I only started wearing them a few years ago, and I love that I am able to wear them with my fiance and not tower over him! (Although if I wear anything over 3 inches, I am a hair taller than he is).

I dated a guy that was 4 inches shorter than me and hated it. I dated a guy the same height as me, it was not that bad. Part of the issue for me isn't just height it is the fact that besides being tall I am built like a football player. My first husband is 6'3 and my current husband is 6'6 280lbs. I feel more secure and not so much of an amazon when I am with him.

I am 5'9 1/2" and I have always dated shorter men. I didn't mind it at all, unless they told me I couldn't/ they'd prefer if I didn't wear heels. My man I am currently with is about an inch-2 inches taller. I find that to be a nice height for me, and he doesn't mind my heels

I've never dated men who were really noticeably shorter than me. Most have been so close to my height that we couldn't figure out who was taller until we actually measured.

I'm 5'11". I've dated both shorter men and taller men (my current BF is 6'3" though he's skinny as a bean pole) and personally, I'm not comfortable dating a guy that's shorter than me so much so my mom used to call me "heightist". It also hasn't helped that I've always been heavy so I just felt like a whale when I was with a shorter/smaller guy.

However since I started losing some #s, I've been a lot more comfortable. I wore 6" heels for my college graduation and was taller than my boyfriend then. He didn't mind and actually got a little riled by the whole thing!

Either way, at the end of the day it should really matter more about what's on the inside than the outside. I have never loved anyone so much as my 6'3" man but it's TOTALLY about what makes YOU happy!

I'm 6ft and I'm seeing a shorter man for the first time. He's 5'8". All the hang-ups are mine. He totally doesn't care that I'm taller, but I'm struggling with it. But he treats me really well and is a nice guy. I got to thinking, I don't want people to dismiss me immediately because of my height, so I shouldn't do it to someone else. We'll see!

i'm 5ft 10 and my boyfriend is 5ft 7 and we both are more than happy with that. He encourages me to wear heels which i do a lot and he actually loves that im taller than him. Funny but i never see him as shorter than me he just is what he is.

I'm 6' 2" and my husband is 5' 9" and me loves that I am taller than him. I even rock the 3" - 4" heels and his confidence stands strong!!

I can't do it. I'm 5'10" and 6'1" when I've got heels on, so the minimum height I'll date is 6'1". I might consider someone an inch of two less than that, but they'd have to be pretty darn great. I just feel uncomfortable when I'm next to man who is shorter than me. I slouch, I put my weight into my hip and oddly, I feel guilty for being taller than them. I want a man to be bigger and stronger than me, I want to look up to him physically and I want him to have to bend down to kiss me, not the other way around!

Omg this mirrors my sentiments eXACTLY!

Looking at a lot of the other posts on here, I started feeling kind of bad because it seems there are a lot of other tall ladies out there who have dated, are willing to date or are even married to guys shorter -- even quite a bit shorter -- than them, and that's just never, evvvvvvvvvvvver been me. But I do agree with those who have also said that whenever they've dated a shorter guy, they (the females) are the ones who have had the issue -- that the guys haven't. I've found the same to be the case -- although I've never dated a guy more than maybe an inch shorter than me, I've definitely spoken with quite a few of them, including ones interested in me, who have outright said this...that they don't care. Well, I care -- I REALLY care...and, like KippyBee said, I just feel like I can't do it or get over it.

Ironically, I've had a lot of shorter guys approach and be interested in me, but guys taller than me, not so much. It's so weird - SOO FREAKING WEIRD! I've noticed the taller guys typically end up dating or being interested in shortie women -- go figure, right?!

And I just can't even imagine how a short guy would be okay with or especially prefer his woman to be taller than him....but I guess that's just like how I can't imagine a taller guy to actually prefer a much shorter woman. Makes no sense to me! But most DEFinitely my hats off to all the other lengthy ladies out there willing to have that kind of an open mind. I think that is completely awesome, and I'm pretty positive I am missing out on some magnificent men out there in having that one restriction :-/
