    Since I'm only 5' tall, I haven't experience this yet.

    I am 6'2", so he's got to be at least 6'0" otherwise I feel funny. My height or taller is ideal. I dated a guy once that was 5'9" and we just looked awkward together. It also drives me crazy when a short little girl is with a guy that's like 6'6". Save the tall menz for us tall girls!

    I guess for me to be creepy short the lady would have to be close to 7' :laugh: since I am 6' 2".

    My ex was about 3 inches shorter than me and it made me uncomfortable our entire relationship. Not only would I not wear any kind of heel. He eventually because abusive and used the fact that I was 'twice his size' as a way to put me down.

    I would never date a guy shorter than me again, not just because of the abuse I went through but it just makes me uncomfortable. Not that I have to worry, my fiance is about an inch taller than me and that makes me happy!

    I really was thinking of a way to put this - and you framed it perfectly for me. My first ex was 6" shorter than me, and there were SO many issues that led to really bad control and abuse issues, most of it stemming from his Napoleon complex, that I eventually was able to get out. My exhusband was 2" shorter than me, and it was 10x worse...

    I realize that a lot of this is my own damage, and I try really hard not to judge the book by its cover, but it is something really hard for me to overcome. There's a certain level of fear that I will treat them differently because they are shorter than I am.

    There's also the intimidation factor that I have: I am 5'9" and most of the time wear at least 4" heels. It's pretty hard to even talk to a guy when you're 6" taller than they are... EYES UP HERE! :P

    Either because they think they look good in them or enjoy the extra height gained.

    I would have thought the green hair and orange skin would have bothered you two long before height came into play.

    It's called fashion.

    High heels are not functional. It's about how they make your legs and butt look or how they look with a certain outfit. Not all women's clothing looks good with flats.

    I am 5'10" and my ex-husband was a little over 5'5", although he rounded up and lied about reaching the next inch... I guess I would have, too, if I had been a short man.

    My boyfriend is an inch or two taller than I am and I definitely prefer that - it opens up a lot of ... possibilities that just can't happen without a stepstool for a short guy and a tall girl. It also gives me a sense of being protected. His personality does that more than his height, but it's comforting to know he's big and strong and can take care of me.

    Back on topic, though... Height never really mattered to me and it usually didn't even bother me to have nearly a half-foot height difference when i was married. I once dated a guy who was a couple of inches shorter than that, even. It's just not "creepy" or weird for me, although I do prefer my big, tall, strong boyfriend.

    I'm glad someone else understands! :smile: :flowerforyou: I'm also 5' 9" and love to wear heels. Mostly, I just wear them to work.

    My father always said to me when I brought a short guy home (I am quite tall) - 'they are all the same height lying down' and you know what, he was right lol

    I was wondering when someone would say this!

    I was always self-conscious dating a shorter guy, and I'm not even that tall. I'm 5'7". My husband is 5'9", and I was worried about wearing heels around him when we were dating. That is, until he assured me that he didn't care if I was taller than him.

    Because it makes us feel sexy! 6'2" here - I've been known to wear 3 inch heels to the bar. This makes me eye level OR taller than the bouncers... and I LOVE it. However, I do also enjoy being able to wear flats out to the bar when I feel like it, because I'm still the tallest woman in the place, and my feet are comfortable. Shorter women that I'm friends with are always jealous that I could basically just wear flip flops to the bar and still be super tall.

    Height is not a deal-breaker for me. I'm 5'0. I wear heels all the time, so usually more like 5'4 or 5'5. It's unusual for me to meet a guy who is so short that I would be taller than he is when I'm wearing heels. But even if I did, it's his attitude about it that is going to determine where things go from there. If he's insecure and self-conscious about it, that's going to turn me off. If he's comfortable with himself, I probably won't even notice his height after a while.

    Height isn't something I find creepy at any point on the scale. Back in the day I dated tall guys (I'm 5'7.5" tall and the "short guy" was 6' 4" tall) but I specifically wanted any children I had to have two attributes - height and brains. The wonderful man I've been married to for 24+ years is 6' 5" tall and smart as hell. Our daughter is 5' 11.5" tall and smart as hell. :happy:

    If I had to enter the dating arena ever again height would not be a big factor. My baby making days are well and truly behind me.

    I never knew there was a correlation between height and creepiness. Huh, learn something new everyday.

    Well, I am short, and creepy. So... Must be true. It's science!

    Roughly 8,000 feet. They look really small from up there, and it's still hard to think of them as humans.

    "Creepy short" is something that I would never think.

    But I am 5'8" and probably wouldn't have dated a guy under 5'5" unless there was a huge mutual attraction, plenty of things in common, etc. I dated guys 5'6"-5'8" no problem though. My ex was around 5'9" or a little over.

    I admit that I DO love my husband being over six feet tall, but height wasn't my top priority when seeking a mate. Not even Top Ten.

    I come from a family of short guys. My dad is 5'2". The short thing doesn't bother me at all.

    I'm 5'11" and my husband of 12 years is 5'7". Our height difference doesn't matter to me, and seeing as how he pursued me, it doesn't matter that I "tower" over him either. He'd laugh if he saw this thread. Why is height such a concern? Ladies - What if you fall in love w/ a 6'6" guy and he someone how loses the use of his legs and is wheelchair bound. Reminds me of this video I saw - love is love...

    Just realized that might have sounded creepy... but basically I grew up being taught that height shouldn't be a top priority (but it also is not hard for me to find someone taller, I am 5'1", I don't know how it is for the taller ladies)

    Anything under 1 ft would be a no go for me.
