Height Matters: true or false

[it_matters]

OK, so the woman seems to like a lot of things about me, except we are the same height. Or am I reading her wrong?

It has been said (by someone who said she was wiser than me, and since she made a lot more money, she might have been) that for the relationship to work the man (usually) or the dominant partner needs to be taller. Equality doesn't cut it.

True or false? Do I need to get on the rack to attract and keep this woman? Since racks are out of fashion these days, am I out of luck?

1-If the woman said it those words, then you're not misreading her.

2-I know you're not suggesting that money equates wisdom. Based on my personal knowledge of couples of varying heights, I think your friend's theory is flawed. I think it just reflects the old stereotypes of the "perfect couple."

3-False, I don't think you're out of luck. But you may want to check the BDSM board for the link to a rack-selling website.

Height shouldn't matter.

but just out of curiosity, how tall are you?

 

[Joe Schmoe]

Since I tend to be taller (6'3") than most women I have always had a saying I tell them.

In bed we can always see eye to eye.

lol..there ya go.........

Take this with a grain of salt,........


Height only matters when you perceive yourself to be short.


Tall people never complain about being too tall.



I'm 6'2", my whole life my friends of "shorter stature" always told me they wish they were tall like me.

What is considered "average" height anyways?

Oh, shit. I hadn't thought of that. And I really wish it hadn't been brought to my attention.

4' 3". But my dad says when I get to be 13 I might start growing.

unfortunately for some height does matter, it shouldnt, but it does,,,,,,,,, the important thing is that you are attracted to this person mentally as well as physically,,,, if you are looking this woman in the eye and she has a problem with your height she is nuts, especially if you are just about 6',,,,,, you are the average size, it is she who is considered on the tall side, so maybe you need to figure out how to shrink her, lol

ha ha. it's -got- to be more enjoyable than the rack. maybe a good story can do the shrinking... you know ,the power of words etc etc.

but then (thinking, thinking), what someone says is the issue isn't always the issue. maybe I started the wrong thread. all right, what is woman's code-language for "not tall enough". c'mon, spill it, ladies, we know there's a secret language in there somewhere.... and no, we have not (yet?) been romantically involved, so I doubt it means that

did she really tell you that you werent tall enough??

Well you know, this interpersonal stuff... it's not that clear. There were all these little clues... and then it was more like: I should introduce you to my friend, she's 5'4".

I suppose I am hitching on the height thing, when maybe that was the easiest "not interested" sign that could be waved.

(Still, would -you- be comfortable in a relationship where you were a couple inches taller? Or the same height? It does make a difference, even if one that isn't all that vital.) (I mean, Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman....? But then, there may have been other factors at play...)

my boyfriend is maybe an inch or so taller than i am and neither of us has a problem with it, matter of fact he doesnt even have a problem if i wear heels,,,, he likes heels, lol,,,,,,, so i definately think she is using height as a cop-out

Well, thank you for that confirmation. A person can suffocate trying to breathe in a smoke-screen.

Leaving personal recent history behind us... I just BET there are some non-dominant partners who really want to be shorter than their significant(-ly taller) other... Or has this myth been busted by the Literotica Truth Police?

 

[kickboxqueen]

i date shorter guys- for me height isn't an issue!

All right, this just proves that the rich south american therapist was full of shit... or was simply Projecting her Own Height Hangup.

exactly, if a person is not dating someone just because of their height that shows that the person is shallow and not worthy anyway

or maybe what she said holds true in South America.

yup yup I agree...

 

[Guttergoddess]

My bf and I both claim to be 5*9....but I know I'm closer to 5*8 1/2....and I'm a shade taller than him....but then again...I have hair...and he's bald...so maybe we're the same height....

hm, that certainly broadens the scope a bit. do you think it's cultural?

are we getting PC answers here? what are people's fantasies? I still think Tall Dark Handsome has got to connect with something a lot more basic than Pasty Pocket-protector Thinker (hoping that I am colored more toward the former end of that rainbow than the latter... see, even I am doing it!)

 

[babydoll2u]

well, I'm 5'4 and I've dated, and been married to, both tall (as tall as 6'6!) and short (shortest was 5'5) men, so I think I can honestly say that height really doesn't make a difference to me
