    Dont care what anyone says, i find tall girls to be such a turn on. Tall girls are hot!! even if they are taller than me (6'1) guess it depends on the person. I would kill for a tall girl ;)

    Thats gotta be hard going being 6'1 and liking tall women!

    Although i would say there are v few women who are like 6'3, 6ft4 etc(in bare foot), esp. in Ireland.

    Plenty around the 6ft mark but thats about it.(that being a good thing of course).:)

    Tall women can be immensely attractive, especially for a tall person like myself. Bending over gets to be a problem.

    I'm 5'11'' and love being tall. I think clothes look so much better on taller women. You stand out in a crowd, in a good way! I have to say though I'd never look twice at a lad below 6'2''. My bf is 6'4'' which is perfect as i can wear my heels! Be tall and proud I say.:)

    How would I get a constant crick in the neck?! I don't generally walk around the whole time with my face glued to hers so it's generally ok for me! I actually find very tall women quite scary, probably because I'm so used to being much taller than everyone else

    Seem to remember a very old black and white film where this guy is going to meet a blind date at an upstairs restaurant. The stairs is just by the guy's table and her head appears first beside him as she climbs the stairs. They say "Hello" and chat for a minute or two and then, he stands up to shake her hand just as she reaches the top. Of course she (a certain Miss Coffey, don't know why that stuck in my mind) turns out to be over 6 foot 6 and he is rather short (5 foot five). Uncomfortable silence follows. :D I think they hit it off after a bit, though.

    To answer your question OP, huge differences are not that important. Remeber Atilla the Hun, not a very big guy, had twelve wives, all taller than him I think.

    I'm only 5"7/8 and I hate it. Tall girls are a turn off for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 794 ✭✭✭ChityWest


    Taller the better - up to about 6 foot one. After that it's definitely freak territory imo. Unless I am just imagining it taller women tend to be more thin as well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,807 ✭✭✭chump


    I'm 6inches tall and tall girls don't do it for me...

    It could be because MOST tall girls I've come across in life are rather flat chested, lack curves, look a bit masculine, and try to stand on me at the first chance they get.

    Intimidating? No. Attractive? No.

    I can think of only one woman I've met who was taller than me that I found attractive. I'm 6'2" and I reckon she was about 6'3".

    Most are usually just big heffers or slouchers.

    I am 5 foot 11 too Teagan and i wouldn't go out with a girl over 5' 7. it is stupid but goes back to my debs had a very good looking gf taller than me; in the photos I looked like a dwarf.

    Really short guys don't care. Really tall guys it doesn't matter. guys like me who like to think of themselves as tall get obsessive.

    Have come across, quite a few girls taller than me. In Dublin anyway.

    On the other side of the coin, many girls reach their height before the boys, and many boys feel uncomfortable about this. Why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭Hugh Hefner


    Tall can equal very hot a lot of the time. So no. Exciting? Yes. Intimidating. No.


    Edit: I'm 5'7" and tall women are hot, so I better get used to not being intimidated. :D

    Same here... with the very rare exception, I find freakishly tall women odd-looking, disproportionate, horse-faced heifers with big rosy red cheeks who should be out ploughing the fields with their giant shovel hands.
    I prefer dainty women.

    sure as long as she does what she's told, who cares how tall she is!

    Why? Many want don't want to be in a subservient position. Many want to be macho and impressive to the opposite sex, their hormones charging about and everything.

    Were not talking about some huge hairy woman here with big huge hands and feet!
    A nice 6ft slim or curvy woman who looks great in clothles cause she is tall is hardly intimidating!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 703 ✭✭✭ThrownAway


    You can get tall big boned girls - I don't mean fat just big boned literally...having a big frame. No matter how much weight you lose you'll always be big.

    Then there's just naturally small framed tall girls.

    Did you know him well then? Anyways...

    And Hitler. Don't forget that lad! I'm sure Eva was taller than he was. Wikipedia says he was a good bit taller than me though so I'll never measure up...:(

    I have to disagree. Myself, my sister and 5 of my female cousins all stand between 5'9-5'11. 6'2" with heels on, dress size 8-10 and we get an unbelievable amount of male attention when out together. We're certainly not big heffers or slouchers.;)

    Had a friend who dated a taller girl. When he was asked about it, he would rub his hands together, smile and say, "More for him!"

    mmm... mischa barton...

    Eastern European women are definitely bringing a tall gene into this country - I approve...
