Are You Intimidated By Taller Women?

reader's question

should you date taller women?
Dear Doc,

I'm a 38-year-old stockbroker taking a computer class every Thursday night (to keep up with the times), and there's this beautiful woman in my class. She's a total babe and has a fantastic personality. She's very intelligent and has her own business working as an agent for television commercial directors.

Our computer class has been going on for about six weeks now, but since the very first night she has been flirting with me, quite blatantly. Last week she even said to me, "So when are you going to ask me out?" I told her, "Probably soon."

I'm usually a lot more firm and decisive. When it's time to take action, I take action. So why didn't I simply ask her out? The problem for me is that I'm 5'6" tall and this girl is a solid 6' tall. And of course in heels she's even taller.

she's really up there

The height difference is really messing with my mind. When I stand next to her I feel like a midget and not very manly. I'm trying to imagine the two of us out on a date in public and it just seems weird to me. I know that I'd be very uncomfortable.

But otherwise she has so many of the qualities that I look for in a girlfriend. When we're both sitting down together and my mind isn't on the height issue, I very much want to be romantic with her.

Half of me wants to just make up an excuse to tell her why I can't date her, and the other half of me feels like I'd be acting weak and foolish if I did that. Do you think there's a way to overcome my discomfort and feel more confident? Do you think it's a healthy thing for a guy to date a girl who's half a foot taller than he is? What do you say Doc? Any ideas?

Theron -- who is very confused

Hi Theron,

Your discomfort with the discrepancy in height between you and your honey is understandable. But I recommend that you be courageous and push yourself beyond the boundaries of your comfort zone.

I am only 5'1" with my flip flops on.So really about 5' 0". My gorgeous blonde amazon sized hot girlfriend is 6'5-3/4" tall barefooted. She is so happy confident with her height she says 6'6" when asked. We have always been comfortable and at ease about our 1 1/2 ft. height difference since we have been best friends and next door neighbors since early childhood. Her legs are amazing, super long, very tone, tan and sexy. She was terrified of high heels since she completely towered over everyone. She said she wanted to see what her legs would look like...especially her calves. I told her that I was totally cool with it. She showed up to my door standing above the door frame! Her legs were practically as tall as me and calves out of control. She now wears them all the time being 2 ft. talle

down to earth says:

i am a 5-8 guy and my current girl friend is 3 inches taller than me on bare foot and man she looks hot in those heels. I admit, initially i had butterflies in my stomach about dating her. But her capacity to convert those 5 minutes small talks in long night intelligent conversations, i could have done nothing but to fall for her. You name the topic and she can spend hours talking, arguing, convincing and then finally letting me have my say.

Try remembering the last time you had a crisp game of WII with your girl followed by a given free weekend for all boyz Poker nights. Does it make you feel like a man or not? So tell me guys, you want to "be" with a tall stunner like mine or you want to "just" talk about one? What are your reasons?

Why Cruisy would you feel that way?

I am really tall and very feminine.

My husband is shorter than me and is not very athetic or strong physically.

His character can move mountains and he is not intimidated by a 6-2 woman wearing huge elegant high heels.

If you like tall women, go for them! A man goes for what he wants. You are adequate if you choose to be.

my 2 cents.
I'm 5''8 in height, and very well built. I am a rugby player. I notice a lot of tall women do check me out.
Although I think tall women are beautiful (as many naturally have the long slim elegant body), I refrain from dating them because it just makes me feel less manly.

When I see a cute girl who's very feminine but just towers me in height, I feel very unmanly and inadequate. So i'm a mental crisis because i'm more attracted to tall women as they have that body type as mentioned before, but when they're taller than me, i feel less manly.

I don't want to hurt you.

Does "whore" mean being faithful to your husband since marriage?
