[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a tall woman, 5’11”. Every one of my boyfriends has been shorter than me, but mostly in the 1-2” shorter range. My theory is that most tall men, 6’ and up, prefer women much shorter than them.

My DH is about 1.5” shorter than me but he never cares if I wear heels, stand up taller than he does, etc. The difference is between shorter men with confidence, and those without.

And, like PP, I have no interest in being cradled in the nook of a man’s shoulder or whatever. If I want to do that, I’ll do so while laying down. [/quote]
Do pictures bother you?  There's no way to pose close to a man who's shorter than you without him cuddling up to you and taking on the traditionally feminine part of the pose.  That doesn't make you feel awkward or turn you off?  [/quote]

This sounds like a young person issue. All the under 30s care about is how they look in pictures. [/quote]

No I'm in my 40s, but the problem isn't the pictures, it's the reminder (that then stays with me) that I'm taking on the masculine physical role, which makes me feel the opposite of sexy, and he's taking on the feminine role, which is very unattractive to me. [/quote]

I can't imagine getting all of that from seeing a photo of myself with a man who isn't taller than I am. 
I personally prefer rugged, masculine men, but I don't associate that with tall men. In fact, I'd say that most of the tall men I've dated have been rather effeminate. [/quote]
