Are you man enough to date tall women?

Are you man enough to date tall women?
Are you man enough to date tall women? - CNN.com

Quote:

I'm tall. I mean, I'm really tall. And I don't mean 5'10" tall. I'm 6'1". That's ridiculously tall. Kermit the Frog once said: "It's not easy being green." Well, it's not easy being a tall woman, either.

Among the more common pickup lines we tall ladies hear:

"Do you play basketball?" (No.)

"What's the weather like up there?" (Icy.)

"I'd like to climb you." (Really, I'd rather you wouldn't.)

While some women think being tall is something worth writing a book about -- like Arianne Cohen's "The Tall Book" -- other women perceive it to be a disability equivalent to a clubfoot. Mostly, it's a blessing and a curse. I can reach the highest shelves, but I'll never blend into the crowd. Dating? That's a whole other story. For guys who admire amazons, here's how to woo a tall chick.

1. Stay away from the cheesy lines. Speaking on behalf of tall women everywhere, I would like to deliver this breaking news: We know we're tall. "Gee, you're tall," "How tall are you?" and "Do you play basketball/volleyball?" will not endear you to us.

We live every day in these elongated bodies. Consequently, some of us suffer from Tall Girl Syndrome. We love our height, but we may be ambivalent about it, too. Standing head-and-shoulders above the rest doesn't always feel so, well, girly. Hit on us about anything other than our height -- our brains, our beauty, out favorite books -- and leave the tall talk for Turk.

The Frisky: What happens to female friendship after you turn 30?

2. Get over it. Maybe you've never gone out with a tall woman. Maybe you're a little intimidated. Maybe she's taller than you. When dating a tall woman, operate under this premise: She's fine with the fact that she's tall. Let it be fine for you.

Unless we hail from Amazonia, intimidating men is not our favorite past-time. If you feel intimidated, that's on you. Relax! Get over it! Forget about it! Most vertically-endowed women don't care how tall you are. They care what kind of man you are. Let her know who you are, and she may fall for you.

The Frisky: Things that will get an ex to take you back

3. Treat her like a lady. We can look Chad Ochocinco in the eye, but we're like every other woman on the inside, so treat us accordingly.

Do: hold my hand, tell me I look hot, put your arm around me. Don't: ask me to hold my hand up to yours and exclaim over how big mine is, wonder out loud what size shoe I wear, request to breed a basketball team with me.

My height does not my character make. I'd rather you open the door for me, send me flowers, or walk on the proper side of the sidewalk (the outside) than make me feel like a ... freak. As kids, tall girls get teased for their stature. Not everyone was 5'10" in the eighth grade, you know. If you love our height, let us know! But don't make a spectacle out of it. We'll love you for it.

The Frisky: Help! My boyfriend's getting fat!

4. We're all the same height in bed. Honestly, I don't totally get why men get so flummoxed about wooing skyscraper-sized women. Sometimes, I wonder if it's sexual anxiety -- are men worried they won't "measure up" in the bedroom? We know we're all the same height when it comes to sex. In terms of anatomy, the parts generally work themselves out. In all likelihood, I won't end up marrying a midget, but, for the most part, height is no big deal when you're doing the horizontal mambo.

The Frisky: What you should know if you insist on being the other woman

5. And if you're worried about what other people think ...

You pick her up for a date. In stilettos, she's way taller than you. Gulp. What will your buddies think when you roll into the party with a woman who towers above you?

When other guys see a man with a woman who's taller than he is, they assume one of two things: A) He has a lot of money, or B) He's really good in bed. Bagging a six-footer is big-game hunting. If you land one, everyone will assume you're you¹re big-time. Now, get out there, and find yourself a tall woman. I bet she's waiting for you -- with her heels on.

That explains. 6'2''... Not bad.

**sequoias** · 11-16-2009, 11:14 AM

My gf is 5'8" and I'm 5'6". :-P

posts from hell · 11-16-2009, 11:21 AM

im 6'2'' so its not that much of a deal

cdaigle430 · 11-24-2009, 03:14 PM

I'm 5' 3" and finding dates because of my height is worse than trying to find dates because of my hearing. I have no problem with my height, I don't even realize until someone says something and no I do not have a self esteem issue

So yes I am man enough to date tall women because almost all women are to me.

darkage · 11-26-2009, 10:46 AM

I have no idea how I will feel about taller woman. I will not take tall and heavier weight.

In Seattle, I planned to have date with taller woman but she had boyfriend. So, we never have date. She got married. I moved back to East Coast. Two years later, someone told me about that taller woman beat her husband up. Her husband got serious injury. They got divorced!! That's scare me.

Once, I had blind date with woman who is body building. I am not body building. She is interpreter at women hockey team. I was ski staff in Seattle and Rochester, NY.

My son is 3" taller than I am. My height is almost 6 feet. He was freshman at college. Lot people thought that my son is football player. He is not football player. He has no experience. So, college offered him to get job as football staff. He is enjoy in college life. He earned 3 different rings from NCAA Football Bowl.

**shel90** · 11-26-2009, 11:56 AM

I am the height that many people have found perfect for a woman...5'7. I dunno why it is such a desirable height among my female friends whether they are shorter or taller than me. However, I have never had any complaints of my height so I guess it must be a perfect height to be at. Dunno...

Royale · 11-26-2009, 12:24 PM

I like ladies with long legs.

Just kidding. I think the height should not be considered as one of the criteria for any kinds of relationship that we want to pursue.

I'm 5'6 1/2 or 5'7, too. Some people commented that I should be a model,
because of my slender figured and height.

Juli-terp-to-be · 12-15-2009, 12:34 AM

I am 5'8 &1/2". And the strange thing is that some guys act like I am super tall. Maybe cause most women where I live only seem to reach my shoulder, making me look taller than I actually am.

My nieces on the other hand, are both over 6'. My youngest niece's boyfriend is 5'5", and she's the tallest at 6' 2".

e-Mau · 12-16-2009, 01:10 PM

Oh, I love tall ladies. God made them! Have I ever dated them? Apparently not. I'd love to date 'em, though. Who wouldn't want to date with a 5'10 guy? It depends that a guy's attitude toward that height's size has varied.

enomakos · 12-28-2009, 06:23 AM

it is no deal,i love tall women

mudrider420 · 01-05-2010, 06:28 PM

all women will be short for me. im 6'8" and i have yet to see a woman over 6 foot

GuidoSarducci · 01-16-2010, 02:35 AM

In my experience, its the tall women that are unwilling to date short(er) men, not the other way around. I suppose in the case of very tall women (like 6'4 and over), they might have trouble finding a man that is taller than they are, so will settle for a short(er) guy. But they probably wouldn't date someone who is 5'3. I've never had a female that was both tall(er) and 'available' act warm to me at all. (The ones that were had boyfriends, which seems to me they weren't looking for anything other than friendship). In fact the only girls that were about 3-4 inches shorter than me would even talk with me much (that didn't have boyfriends/fiancees/husbands). I also wouldn't consider 6'0 to be that tall.

If you really like to garden then you tend to like a big garden with lots of room to do what you wish with. Me I like gardens of all sizes, each has their earthy and heavenly delights.

mx757 · 01-16-2010, 11:08 PM

I wouldn't mind dating a woman taller than me... I'm 5'10"..

Grummer · 01-17-2010, 07:00 AM

I prefer taller woman, i found short women to be ill tempered, manipulative, picky and tend to have fragile egos, creating personality disorders and/or tendency to thrive on (eeek) relationship problems. They are also clingy which has alot to do with their attention-seeking tactics they employ. Tall women are more relaxed and if they dont like you they know they can find another man (or men) quickly so they tend to be upfront, that is not playing mind games or some other pathetic dysfunctional stunts.

Sometimes it would help if you take a look at yourself first before you make a stereotypical post?

Height has no inclination on emotional status.

Anyone is inclined to their own emotions.

**Phillips** · 01-17-2010, 07:07 AM

Ooops!! My wrong!! I saw your photograph in your avatar few years ago. I was imagined that you were a not tall woman!

DoDaDew · 01-17-2010, 07:40 PM

Yes.....

Only if she plays basketball, tells me the weather daily and lets me to climb her to kiss her.

My daughter has decided that guys aren't worth her time and she says that she will remain single for the rest of her life. Then again, she's only 15. She can't find any guys that will accept her for her with all of her issues. (She has learning disabilities and she's tall.) She is now as of yesterday, 6'5". She grew the last inch since we moved to Florida 7 months ago. All the guys at church are scared of her height and want nothing to do with her.

01-19-2010, 08:08 PM

OK... does she REALLY need the high heels?

**Jiro** · 01-19-2010, 08:08 PM

wow! 15 years old and 6'5"??? don't worry. wait until college. plenty of better and taller guys there

01-19-2010, 08:10 PM

And then there is this cute couple.

01-19-2010, 08:13 PM

Another one that doesn't need the high heels.
