crazy how when a woman is a few inches taller than her boyfriend everyone wants to ask "hOW dO YoU gUyS kiSs???" but no one seems to care when the guy is a whole foot taller than his girlfriend 😒
-
yes thank you for talking about this. as a nearly 6 foot woman I can't count the times I've been told I have to find a taller man and then I'm like why TF should i
-
For me I love tall women and women that wear large heels like Lady Gaga and the tall girls that just embraced their height Short guys aren't losers Tall women aren't freakshows Men and women shouldn't be insecure about their height
-
This is so embarrassing. I stopped hanging out with this group of girls because they would constantly mock guys on Tinder because they were under 5'10", when I repeatedly mentioned that the guy I was dating was 5'7". Not only was it insulting, but I didn't want to be around people that shallow.
-
My mom (5’8) is taller than my dad (5’4) so it’s never been strange to me. People have made fun of my dad for his height, but he’s always shrugged it off and even loves when my mom wears heels.
-
Props to tall girls willing to date shorter guys! My wife is 5'7" and I'm 5'5" and she towers over me when she's in heels (and its hot AF, not gonna lie).
-
"Tall Girl" has got to have one of the most ridiculous premises ever. She is conveniently attractive, has great friends, a supportive family, a gorgeous house, several guys who are interested in her... But oh no! She's almost 6 feet tall. How will she EVER get by?! 🙄
-
I'm 5'9", my husband is 5'7". I asked him if it bothered him. He said he felt like he was with a model.

I’ve been with my fiancé for 7 years and he is 5 inches shorter than me. When we started dating girls would say “I could never date someone shorter than me”. I look at it like my ex was about 4 inches taller then me but treated me horribly but my fiancé treats me like a queen. At the end of the day it’s if they are a good person. I’m not going to leave a great guy because a silly rule society made.
-
If the person is attractive to you and has a great personality, who cares about what people think? The less you give a f----, the happier you'll be.
-
Even in gay relationships, the ‘dominant’ one is stereotypically tall and the ‘submissive’ one is stereotypically short.
-
That episode in ‘Sex and the City’ where Samantha confronts with her prejudice with a short man was actually a lovely one and they had great banter.
-
As a short guy, it's particularly tiring (and a bit depressing) to see how many women will filter me out because I'm not tall enough. Female friends will literally talk to me about height in guys as if it doesn't directly affect me. One of my best relationships was with a woman who was a whole 20cm taller. It was fantastic. Height just had no bearing on anything. I don't understand why it's such a big issue for many women.
-
I'm a woman of 5'8/5'9 and I've always found shorter men cute. Everytime I've said yes to shorter men whom have asked me out. They appeared shocked. I am black and I know what it's like to not be "prefered". So I've come to the conclusion that I won't have preferences on people's physical appearances. There are deeper matters in life than stuff like that.
-
I'm a tall girl, and I can't approve this message enough🙄 society seriously needs to get over itself
-
I'm a 6'1" tall woman and i had huge problems with dating men because they were intimidated by me. the fact that i like to wear platforms didn't help at all. thankfully over the years i feel more appreciated as people started thirsting over fictional tall women and i saw it reflect positive on my dating life as well. i never held any prejudice against dating short men but people around me were calling me weird when the guy i danced with at the prom was shorter than me.

Shout out to Jlaw and Josh Hutcherson as Katniss and Peeta from the Hunger Games for pioneering the taller gf shorter bf in blockbuster films 10 years ago. I'll always love the moment in the last movie where Katniss leans down to hug a clearly shorter Peeta with a look of pure love and longing on her face. Back then, people acted like it was so strange, but it's lovely to see it completely accepted in another mainstream blockbuster these days.
-
I'm 5'10 and heavy set and my cousin told me the three strikes against my appearance is I'm tall, fat and dark skin. So I always tried to dress girly to counter the masculine traits I had. Even though I have dated guys shorter than me, I still feel less feminine than when I'm with a taller guy. I felt I had to date a taller guy to even look feminine.

It’s tough out here as a 5’5” man 😔
