Tall Women

[KerrBear85]

Back in the day men liked women to be tall. My dad talks fondly about tall women and I've seen several movies in the 80's that further emphasized a tall woman. I get the feeling that this isn't true anymore. We are still encouraged to wear heels but you must first be short. I've even dated a man who was 6'8" who said it was "interested" and "fun" to be with a woman whom he didn't have to bend down to kiss and cuddle with, but a very short woman was still much to his liking.

I enjoyed being with a man who was much taller than me but I have found that a man who is more my height is pleasing both sexually and cuddly. It's nice to look into each other's eyes when we hug standing up AND while we are laying down. To be able to lock our feet together and still be able to face each other to talk at night in bed. Sex is awesome because we line up so perfectly. Granted, I'm not a little thing that can be picked up and be swung around like his 8 year old daughter, but I kind of like it that way. A respectful knowing that I'm a strong, powerful, and confident woman who is happy on her feet. Np meek, shriveled little thing. . . Like those poor girls they pull out of the crowd during rock concerts because they can't breath and passed out, being sufficated by larger bodies all around.

I find tall women quite striking. If I see one she instantly has my attention.

My GF is 5'11" and Im 5'3" on a good day in cowboy boots. She is a beautiful lady inside and out and how tall she is or the difference in how tall we are is irrelevant. We do get some looks when we are out but who cares. We love each other and once we are lying down it all works out.

The kind of women you see in movies and TV shows goes on a trend, it not only goes from tall to short and back again, it goes from slutty to virginal. Well OK not often you see a sex starved slut trying to get laid every minute of the day. You do however see women in barely anything showing off every little inch of her body besides the hair color down there way more often than you used to. Think back, when I was a kid, bikini's were still something of a slut outfit, good girls didn't wear them.

Granted I only got the tail end of that one, and growing up in a small town didn't help. It's still something I grew up with. Heck a dangerously short skirt was halfway between the knee and hips. Now dangerously short is showing lips when you don't bend over.

I'm probably being a bit overdramatic but looking at what the highschoolers are wearing, dang I'd have been shot wearing that little.

Anyway back on tall versus short, tall was the in thing from like the 60's until the 90's, tall being a relative term, 60's tall was 5'7" or so. 80's was actually tall. You could see women over 6' on most every show and movie minus a few exceptions. During the 90's they got shorter until now when I can turn on a movie or show and feel like a giant, which kinda sucks.

there is a good side to this though, now they are looking more at the acting ability than height or lack of so your still going to see 6+ gals, provided they can act, something of an upgrade from the 80's when all you had to be was tall female and large breasts. Heck female was sometimes not needed.

tall is good. but rare

I like tall women if they make it look good. Short women are fine too for the same reason.

Nothing wrong with tall women - I'm 6 ft 5 and am often drawn to a slightly taller girl because I guess I just find it more attractive.

Then again, if they're too tall then it can be off-putting and, if I'm honest, a little intimidating.

My girlfriend is 5 ft 8, so it strikes a good balance

 

[Xerxes82]

Huh. This is an interesting topic to me.

I'm a shorter guy, about 5'5" and I've had more than one girl, most of whom are maybe an inch or two taller than me tops, tell me they wouldn't go out with me because I'm "too short." Apparently if a guy isn't taller than them when they're wearing heels, he's too short and therefore undesireable.

That said, and much more to the topic at hand, one of the sweetest, and prettiest ladies I've had the privelage of knowing is well over a foot taller than me. We're just friends, but thinking about it, I think I'd be too intimidated by the height differential even if I was interested in her. I'm not sure if that would be due to my experiences above or the posters assertion, however.

I'm 5'11" and love that my 6'6" husband makes me feel petite. He and I usually draw attention to ourselves in a crowd...he for obvious reasons and me for my flaming red curls. We are usually the tallest couple at any function and I love it.

Granted, we are friendly and look approachable, so we are often asked by complete strangers to reach items for them.

Did you ever wanted normal size men? thought about it maybe?

 

[sutherngent985]

A little off topic but let me ask the gals here a question. What is it about short men that you dont like? Does a man HAVE to tower over you for you to even give him a second glance? In my day, I have read plenty of personals and invariably, no mater how tall the lady is, she is looking for someone tall...I remember 1 ad, she was 4'11 and her ad stated specifically for someone over 6'. Is it a societal thing or what?

Seems like a societal thing, honestly. I used to think I liked tall men until I realized that it just wasn't very practical (kind of silly, to think that I liked something just because society has that stupid "man must be taller than you" rule). I'm 5'3", so "tall" guys are too tall for me anyway; I like it when someone is on my level; craning my neck to talk to someone feels awkward. I don't think I'd even be bothered if a guy was shorter than me, really.

I've been watching in the shadows and this is a lot more serious than I thought. I'm 6'2 and I know the joys, or rather the functuality of a tall woman (ever try a quickie with a woman a foot shorter than you during work? More pain than pleasure). That said, other then the convenience, it really doesn't matter to me. If height becomes an issue for you (for other than back-related problems), your own insecurites may be the issue. I'm just saying.
I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress on the way out.

Heh, a topic up my alley here.

Strangely enough, as a rather tall guy myself (6'7"), I've really only dated shorter girls. Not by choice, but moreso by chance. It just so happens that I've never really had an opportunity with a taller woman. I'm not picky about height at all, but damn I'd like to not have to hunch over just to give a hug once in a while! Heheh.

And JtohisPB, I get the "Can you get that for me?" thing all the time! At home, work, and out at the store.

 

[birdman3377]

As a shorter fellow myself, 5'7", would have loved to date taller women. There were just never any taller ladies that i clicked with, and the height thing wasn't an issue.

On the other hand, when your nose to nose your toes are in it
when your toes to toes your nose is in it

Height usually, to me, really plays the biggest roles whenever it involves one person in another's lap.

I'm about 6'0", and I enjoy the idea of either having a girl in my lap just tall enough that her lips are at my level or an inch off, or the same with me in a lady's. Being that close also works when having sex (or even just grinding) since our waists would be in a similar spot as the cuddling described above. I don't know exactly what height that would entail, but... eh.

Past that, height isn't an enormous issue. Smaller girls, to someone like me, are common enough that it's the norm. When they're significantly smaller, they'd be referred to as 'tiny', which is usually cute. When they're significantly taller than me, or even enough that I have to look up to see their eyes, it's usually just a feeling of "wow" instead of "wow, gorgeous"... height doesn't affect if they're arousing to me or not unless it's what I described with the cuddling scenarios.

I'm a 5' 4" woman, and I never really understood why tallness would be particularly attractive. Well, except that I like skinny guys and people who have proportionally longer arms and legs tend to look skinny. I would guess my opinions on the topic are based on the fact that my mother and father are the same height, both 5' 4" also. I also somewhere along the line developed a fear of guys who are both tall and massive enough that I wouldn't stand a chance against them in a fight.

Not sure whether this is relevant or just weird, but when I roleplay or fantasize I usually imagine myself as a tall muscular gay guy whose lover is a short skinny guy - like the top of his head wouldn't even come up to my shoulder. I'm not really sure why this is - I think if I was actually tall I'd feel embarrassed to stick out in a crowd, I always feel a bit embarrassed when I wear tall shoes, like I ought to keep my head ducked, even though I know that's silly.

 

[Noira]

Alas, the only guys who'll pay any attention to me are short too. All the guys want tall girls where I am and I'm short!

 

[bunnylicker]

I'm a 5'9" girl & I often feel really awkward for being so tall..... it's hard to get an objective view on your own height I guess. Perhaps I am not so tall afterall. I don't often wear heels since I feel as though I'm towering over the tiny girls in big shoes. -_-

Maybe I'll start wearing em anyway.

I have a friend whose a really tall gay guy... people always point it out to him as though he'd never noticed, ie. "you're really tall". ummm yeah

I agree with all-I'm around 5'9, and I love being tall. My boyfriend is about 5'11, so we are a great height match. I also think that tall women and shorter men are adorable, because to me it shows the man has confidence!

There's something about meeting a Man at the same eye level, and if there's chemistry and I get to look up at him, I feel totally swept away. Not that it happens often... I'm 6'2 and most men I meet are usually slightly shorter.
Not that there is anything wrong with men shorter than me, I wouldn't exactly rule out a potential partner due to height difference, but if I was writing a list of pro and cons, it would end up on the con side of things.
I'm not walking around in life with my eyes pealed for a 6'6 Man, but hell, it would be nice to wear a pair of heels, and still be an inch or two shorter than your date.
