i've decided to wear my combat boots at all times, they give me an extra inch! wearing shorts? don't care, i'm in my boots. at the gym? i'm on the treadmill in my desert tan boots. walking on the beach? darn right, i still have em on. yup i can see it now on Around The Services on the military channel, "a private gets an article 15 for being out of uniform at his own wedding. a short private got married in his class A uniform, which is typical, but breaks army regs& wears his combat boots for that extra inch so his wedding pictures looked 'right'. his commander added 'he's about 5'7", that's really not short at all but his wife is 5'5" & said on her EHarmony profile she would only consider a guy who was at least 3 inches taller than her. too bad, he's 1 hell of a young man but there goes his career as a ranger.' we'll have more as the story develops..."

i'm 5 foot 10 inches and love my height. I'm now, after 20 years of dating (taking off 10 for marriage) getting warmed up to the idea of dating a guy 5'10" or taller. Eeeewww I just can't go any shorter. My girlfriends think I'm being silly. I really like my guys tall....Well over 6 foot My last man was 6'3". It was the perfect height distance between us.

Now, about the age and wt thing....? They have to fix that. I'm 48. No, eH, I'm not interested in dating a guy whose 5'7", looks like he's a good 75 lbs over, and he's only 62. OMG! Thank you for thinking of me though.

Like most women on the low end of the "average" female range (or the high end of the short range - I'm 5'2"), I'm used to thinking of men as mostly much taller.



I've known a couple of wonderful, confident men who were my height, or a bit shorter, and I also teach middle school, so I deal with short males all the time. Being at eye level doesn't bother me.



That said, I've just received a dynamite profile - the guy sounds fantastic - which gives his height at ten inches shorter than I. This is something I've never experienced, and I'm not sure how I'll feel about the physical realities if/when we were to meet. He's got no picture posted (available on request). In general, I don't develop physical chemistry until after I am familiar with a guy's personality anyway, so the lack of photo doesn't throw me off too much.



This profile is the most interesting and appealing one I've come across so far. It's the only one that's tempted me to hit that "open communication" button, even though he's at the far end of my distance range (I've closed out matches in the same city for distance). This is one compelling profile.




Sooo.... unless he closes the match before I get my nerve up (I've never initiated communication before), I think I'm going to give it a try. The odds are against it working out, as they are with any match, but I can't bring myself to close without further investigation.

I got this great match; his profile is great but he's only 5'0". I am 5'5" and love wearing heels. I fall in love after I get to know the person, but I have a hard time getting past height. Is this shallow?
Shallow? Yes. But if you can't get past it, you can't get past it - just move on. Personally, I've always wanted to date a woman that was taller than I am, but I don't think I ever have (none were noticably taller). Just out of curiosity, what makes the height difference so unappealing to you?
I like to be able to look up to my guy.(physical sense) And I just have this thing where I think the man should be bigger than the woman. (stupid) I once dated a guy the same height and weight as me; but that was after I got to know him. And once I did I discovered that he was manlier then 6 ft men. I'm going to go for it and see what happens. He list confidence as one of his attributes.

thanks!!
This conversation makes me smile....I'm 5' 9" and learned early on that height is powerful thing. I wear high heels whenever I want. The confidence resides with me. I've dated tall and short and it doesn't matter at all. I know me and it takes a really confident man to take me on. And if he has that, height does'nt matter.
