I'm ~6' 2" and I find tall girls very attractive

Handsome Bob

I'm pretty short and I'd have to admit that I would be intimidated, but that's purely down to my own insecurities. I remember reading a thread in TLL or AH and the concensus was that women wouldn't date men smaller than them. Hence the insecurity.

Id like to share a moment if I may...while this forum on tall gals is active...

Me and two friends went Speed Dating last night for the crack and had a great time chattin to loads of regular sound guys. When I was walkin home along Camden St, thinking to myself what great chats Id had and feelin all good with the world, I could hear a guy shoutin from a taxi just behind me. He was shouting "Hey Bitch! Hey, you tall bitch..." and eventually I realised it was me he was screaming at...and I mean hangin out of the taxi window..."YOURE THE TALLEST ****N (sorry about the language) BI*^H IVE EVER SEEN..IN FACT YOURE NOT A WOMAN YOUR A MAN YA BIT%H!!! and he kept going like that for a bit until eventually the taxi passed me out.

Im 5'11. Big deal. I went from feeling great and happy to feeling like total crap. I gave him the bird... But its so stupid cause you can see why when things like that happen how you can be a bit paranoid about being tall, but you dont see yourself as being a freak of nature, its just normal.

Anyway, just felt like sharing, it being a tall girls forum an all.

That has absolutely nothing to do with you being tall, and everything to do with that guy being a lamo douchebag.

I'll be very vexed with you, if you allow that cowardly arsehole to make you sad.

I think when you have a spark with someone, pre-concieved notions of criteria go out the window.

I saw Sigourney Weaver in Ghosbusters last night - very tall and gorgeous still at 60.

I'm ~5'06" and I don't generally find women who are much taller than me attractive. I would have more of a tendency to have my eyes on girls who are a bit shorter than me or about my height.

That is not to say I would be completely put off by taller girls. I just don't really feel as attracted to them. Of course I'd also be less inclined to approach them because of the apparent feeling that short men are less attractive.

Being honest, i don't find girls taller than me, attractive.

I'm 6ft2 so i rarely meet a girl who is taller than me that i fancy. I didnt realise this till recently when i was chatting with a girl in a casual setting where she had runners on then saw her on a night out where she was wearing high heels and when i was chatting to her i was looking up at her and it freaked the sh1t out of me.

the_syco

Tall girls are hard to find! 6 foot 6 myself. Most "tall" women are eye height.

MAB83

Tall girls aren't my preference. I just like to be able to cuddle a smaller girl and feel like I protect them or something, don't know why. Don't think I could date a girl taller than me, would be a bit odd looking up at her and even worse when she wears heels.

redorblack

Nothing wrong with tall girls but I do think flat shoes look better. High heels just look wrong if shes already tall.

i hope you dont mind me asking, did you feel threatened or intimidated by her or was it unfamiliarity thing.What made her different being taller.

Would you feel the same if a woman was more qualified than you or earned more?

Because you do see how silly it sounds.

Seonad

I always thought that "how's the weather up there" was an insult:(

When I was in school one of my classmates said men like smaller women full stop. I didn't really like my height when I was younger, I suppose due to attitudes like this but Im quite comfortable with it now (Im around 5' 11"), although I still run from heels:o

When you see a picture of somebody you generally can't tell how tall they are. So if guys see a picture of someone they find attractive do they suddenly lose interest when they see them in person and discover they're taller?

I know several of you have said you do like taller women so I suppose this is more directed at those of you who don't!

I'm 5'11 in height and my older sister is 6 foot tall. I used to be extremely conscious of my height and never wore heels, now I wear them all the time. Everyone says fair play to me for wearing them and i honestly do feel alot better when im in them rather than flats, but my height is always on my conscious when i go out.
I hate being as tall as I am, im happy with pretty much everything else about myself and I am a confident girl, its just in the back of my mind when I met a guy somewhere or when im walking down the street in heels and its not a great feeling!

I look for guys who are taller than me, but i have fallen for one or 2 who were noticeably smaller. It bothered me because it made me feel less feminine cause I was the taller one in the relationship! It just wan't nice so no matter what people say about height not mattering,whether its the boy or girl who cares, its going to bother someone in the relationship.

I am really surprised that no-one has suggested a tall girls in heels beers:p

Would guys agree, would you be less attracted/less likely to chat up a girl who is taller than you?

Height isn't the factor in me being intimidated in talking/chatting up someone, but now that I think of it I can't think of any time I have chatted up someone tall. That saying, I'm tall (5ft11 - 6ft) so if someone is the same height as me I don't recognise it as being tall, I just see it as normal.

i'm quite tall myself....6'5 ... i can imagine how some women who are tall might not like there height especially when they were at a young age. i was always tall in comparison to my peers and did feel like bit of a freak.... i remember my feet were so big size 11 when i was like 12 that i used to get upse because i thought i wouldnt be able to get shoes that fit me soon lol .

Nowadays i see it as a blessing..... i think tall women are attractive as other sized women. I know some men dont like women who are taller than them but that shouldnt stop you talking to all men who are smaller...

as for the high heels... slap them on girls... we love to see them!

On behalf of tall women everywhere,please,please do not use this line again! It is not funny,it is not interesting, we've heared it a squillion times before and is just plain cringey. It also makes tall women feel even more self concious of their height!

Im 6'1 and generally do find that my height intimidates a lot of guys,I think. I would be chatted up a lot lot less than my shorter friends. Height isn't really a big issue for me though and I have dated a few men shorter than me. At the end of the day If hes got a good sense of humor and can make me laugh,I dont care what height he is.

My Ideal woman is jodie kidd shes hot got Long legs and like fast cars and looks like a hole lot of fun to be around.

Id never even think about saying the above at all, It wasa joke humor at its very worst
call me a bone head if you must but i ment it in the sillyist way .....

Podman

I'm 6'4" and I love tall women (there aren't that many in Rush though).

I suppose it would be a bit odd to look up, so I doubt I'd find myself with a taller woman, at least not that much taller, a couple of inches maybe.

I think the closer your heights, the more natural it feels. I've often gone out with girls a foot shorter than me, it is always a little weird standing beside each other.

And me! But it has its advantages, because your line of vision is slightly lower (.)(.) (if you're that way inclined). I like tall women

So ladies, just before you give me a slap for staring, technically speaking, its not my fault I was looking at your chest :P

I've always had to work from the feet up too so if you have good shoes on I'll take an interest, heels are good in my book.

I went out with a girl taller than me for over a year, and it was never an issue.
I can understand why most blokes (and women) would have a problem with it but I personally don't give a ****.

I'm about 5'10

Im 6'1

I'm 5'11

I see small people :P

As for the "how's the weather up there" jobe, my response is usually one of the following: "f**k you" "piss off, or I'll stand on you" or "oh, look! a talking barstool (then place a pint glass on their head)" :P

if your good looking i don't care if your 7 feet tall tbh

If youre goodlooking or whatever obviously no ones going to say no based on your height alone, but generally I reckon tallness is masculating somewhat and as such I dont find it particularly attractive in a female.

WOW - Im shocked how can you see a girls tallness as emasculating you

it may be that your preference is petite but how does tallness masculate a woman

i would see it as the opposite that thinness etc asexualises a woman and my idea of hell would be a lollipop oompa lumpa

nxbyveromdwjpg

My preference is my preference but in general a huge giant woman would be masculated by her height in more or less in the same way she would if she had Hulk Hogan style biceps or a seriously muscular frame.

This would be common enough opinion conscious or unconscious, the examples above are predominately male features. Not to say that women cant, dont, or shouldnt have any of these, but in general they're predominately male features are they not? Excessive tallness is another, thats all I'm getting at.

Tell me what is more sexy than a tall girl wearing jeans and high boots.

I can see where you are coming from. I have a friend who is very tall and she often helps me on with my coat after we meet for coffee. She is so feminine its unreal and if that sort of think unnerves you ok. Lots of people would be in awe of her.

nxbyveromdwjpg

I would be in awe of her too... if she was in a cage at the circus, alongside the bearded lady.

Look it has nothing to do with me or anyone else being unnerved or insecure in their height next to these giant beasts, I'm just offering the opinion that a lot of men would rather a normal sized woman to a huge one. Its not a big deal or an extreme opinion, its just one preference if one were given the choice.

I doubt very much that that's even a minority opinion, likely a lot of posters on here just declined to say so for fear of hurting the feelings of the female bohemoths that started this thread (maybe for fear of getting beaten up by them, who knows)

Paulegend

well as im 5"8 myself i dont actually mind taller girls as long as they are not 9 foot so id look like their child or something:D but anything up to 6 foot or so is grand:D as long as they are hot:rolleyes:

m19

I'm 5'9 and i've never wanted to be smaller,
I haven't ever found it bothers guys, it's
just a matter of personal preference.

Frankiestylee

Taller girls always catch my eye but I'd nearly never try and chat one up, it adds a whole new element to the usual pretty girl fear of rejection lark.
I guess I'll just admire from afar until I get over being shy in such situations

Paulegend

one thing i always say though never be shy of aproaching a girl. just walk over say hey bla bla bla and the worst she can do to you is reject you. if you get rejected have a drink and try again. no biggy. of course i talk a big game:D

If thats what youre getting at .I wouldn't agree catwalk models and all the tall girls I've ever seen dont look mascaline to me at all.

Podman

Tall does not automatically say masculine at all, what's wrong with you.
There may be a thread somewhere for 'Women with "Hulk Hogan style biceps or a seriously muscular frame"' but this isn't it.

A tall feminine woman is a sight to behold, I don't appreciate any bad stuff said against them based on their height.
Like I said before, I'm 6'4 and Love tall women, my only complaint is I don't see them enough.
