Your thoughts on height differences in relationships

[Anonymous]

I like to look a man in the eye.

I'm 5'2.5" and DH is 5'5". I don't have much use for men over 5'8" or 5'9". j/k-- I'll make an exception or two, of course-- but I tend to be into "shorter" guys. My mom is about 5'6" and my dad is 5'8.5" so maybe that's where I get it from.

I always assumed I might balk a little at a guy under 5'2"-- and there aren't many anyway. But I once had a nurse who had to stand close to me to help me and he MIGHT have been 5', but he was gorgeous. I was already married anyway, but I think the bigger hesitation in that case was that he was also really fine boned and I felt like... I would break him.

I’m a woman, 5’8”. I prefer guys who are a little taller than me but not too much. My husband is 5’11” and it feels about right. My last boyfriend before I got married was 5’9”.

I'm a 5'10" woman. My ex-H is 5'8". I will never again date someone shorter than me.

5'11" and my husband is 5'8". We've been married for 40 years. And yes, I wear heels. His confidence is what attracted me.

What does height have to do with how good a person is in bed?

shrug.. it works for us.

I’m so self conscious about my height

This is me and tall guys always have hit on me

I still do a double take when I see photos of DH and I. The height difference is jarring.

I am 5ft, he is 6ft. It works. I dated someone who was 6ft 7in and it wasn't a good match.

I am 5’11 and will only date 6’ and plus men. I need to be shorter and weigh less to be attracted to the guy

Whay wasn’t the 6’7” guy a good match?

I'm 5'3'' and DH is 6'1''. I'm Asian and have dated and/or casually slept with about a dozen Asian and Caucasian men before I got married to DH. All the Asian men I've been with were 5'9'' or above. All the Caucasian men I've been with were above 5'11''.

My mom is 5' and my dad is 5'11''. They've been married for almost 40 years. Guess that's why I grew up knowing that I always wanted a tall man, and my own height is not a problem.

I’m 5’7” and have always had a thing for very tall men—6’3” and up. I have tried to go shorter but the attraction was not there.

[Anonymous]

I’m 5’2 and my boyfriend is 6’4. I always feel protected.

After 28 years of marriage, I can say it doesn't matter. There are so many more important issues for a good relationship.

We have a 5” difference and it’s just right for dancing or smooching! In bed a bigger difference might be fun.
