"Totally not an issue, perhaps because such women reacted to me in accordance with my own self-perception rather than a ruler."

TER quote of the day, heck, let's make it week. you have explained the sentiment i attempted to express about my 5'1" friend, in a much more succinct and less dirty way, lol.

I am height challenged at 5'7".  Never really felt self conscious until started in this Hobby.  I think it is the abundance of 6" heels.  They are not too common around the office or on the street, well the streets that I am mostly on.

I once had a lady that had fallen for me, "confide" that she was very surprised as she normally did not see guys under 6' tall.  Recentlly read a article on "height discrimination".  Actually one state has a law in place against height discrimination.....sheesh.  Massachusetts, of course.

Anyway, my question is to both men and women.
1. Men do you have any issue with a lady being taller than you and if so is there a limit to that difference.
2.  Women, the reverse of that question, do you have an issue with a guy being shorter than you and is there any limit to that difference.  Would you date the "Pit Boss"?

Have fun

My SO is 5'2 & I'm 5'6

I've always loved shorter men idk why.
One thing I do know they tend to be more assertive.

Hell! Im only 5'4, I love a tall women, give me something to climb all over! Ive never had a women tell me I was too short in any aspect! LOL If a women is not going to take my money/see me because of my height then FUCK HER. Ive had to put 3 pillows on top of each other to do doggie style before, the greater the challenge the greater the fun!

had an issue over the difference. I can hit 5'9 1/2" on a real good day.

the most preferred height for a man by a woman is 5'10".

For some reason, most women I have dated (outside of hobby) are petite.  Thus, maybe by conditioning, I am more attracted to taller woman.  I am 5'10 and my preferred range is 5'7 to 6'0 before heels.  whats there not to like with long legs and mini skirts?  I LOVE girls who can wrap her legs around me in a number of ways and perhaps put me in a triangle choke while i'm doing her.

just my 2c..

well being a tall lady i stand 5ft11in no heels .. im often challenged in a world of 5ft people.. but being with a short guy is sexy too me ..it has advantages..xoxo naomi

I'm 5-8.  The first girl I had sex with was 5-11, she loved to walk around campus with her arm on my shoulders, and mine around her waist.  My first provider was same height, no problem, she was/is a doll.  Once you are horizontal, wtf diff does it make???

I have been with a few ladies taller than me, and it has never been a problem.  I like girls of all heights.  If I want to see a particular girl, I really don't care how tall she is.  I care about what she will do to me, and for me.....LOL

Tall, short, medium, I am an equal height opportunity lover.....

i realize that some may not consider that to be tall, but it's taller than most women and many men believe it or not. and perhaps because i tend to be on the shy and timid side, i've often felt subconscious about my height. i really hate the feeling of being taller than anyone, but especially a man...it makes me feel awkward and amazonian, so i start hunching down, mincing my steps and generally just trying to appear shorter. this is also one of the reasons why i don't like to wear heels...just makes me too tall for my own personal comfort. in my mind the ideal image of femininity involves being small and delicate, so i've actually always longed to be several inches shorter.

so yes i am definitely more comfortable with men taller than myself, but there are of course limits and exceptions. limits, being men who are TOO tall...say over 6'5". and exceptions being men my height or shorter who are powerfully built. if a man has good solid weight to him and some strength (in other words, still manhandle me when needed *blush*), then i can be completely comfortable with him being shorter. this is why i find super tall guys unappealing...usually with extreme height comes leanness and lankiness, and that look just doesn't read as masculine and strong to me (no offense to any NBA players in the room, lol). so i guess the bottom line is while height makes a difference, it is not nearly as important as build and physical prowess. and don't forget about confidence! there is nothing sexier than a confident, self-assured man. one of my favorite friends is barely 5'1", but is so supremely confident and comfortable with himself, in addition to physically wearing me the heck out on a regular basis (no exaggeration, a night with him means no housework for me for the next two days!), that i always feel like a beautiful, delicate flower in his presence.

I'm 5'10".

I don't really care much about height, although if they're my height or taller that's pushing it. The build/body type is more important to me than height, although the itty bitty girls are fun. What I don't get are the tall girls that add the high heels, making them taller than most guys.

My wife is 5'7", and I never thought of her as being particularly tall. She's never given her height a second thought. The 5' girls all tell me they always hated being the smallest kid when they were little. Just be happy with who you are.

There is NO problem w/ someone being taller OR shorter, that's just silly.  If that's all you see when you look at a person then it's your problem, not a height problem.  Just my opinion.  I'll see whoever I want, and YOU guys should be able to see whoever you want, I can't believe that provider that said she wouldn't see someone shorter than her, that's rude and honestly, who is in the position to be throwing stones here??

I have no restriction on a gentleman's height.I have seen gentleman anywhere between 5'6 and 6'5 and had no issue.I am 5'6 without heels (which I love by the way)If you are interested in a lady much taller than you and you feel like it wil be an issue request for the lady to wear flats.Besides she probably won't have them on that long anyway.lol

Measured, my height is 5'6". But I can't remember feeling anything less than 10' tall. LOL

In all seriousness, I have dated women in the civie world who were literally 6'6". Totally not an issue, perhaps because such women reacted to me in accordance with my own self-perception rather than a ruler.

when i was a little kid i was often the smallest or next to smallest in my class, but hit a freakish growth spurt in my late teens. i actually didn't reach my current height til age 20!

your wife is probably a bit more confident than i am. most women would probably find 5'6" to be a good height, or even want to be a bit taller. but with my timid personality it makes me feel kind of imposing. but you are right we should all learn to accept and be happy the way we were made, and surround ourselves with people who will do the same.

Are Short Men at a Disadvantage in Romance?  This is sorta related to the OP's question, so I thought this report which was on ABC News 20/20 a few years ago might be of interest (see link below for the full article).

Anyhoo, I've never encountered any "height" related discrimination in my 10 yrs. in the hobby.  My ATF is about 5'8" (without heels) and I'm a giant standing at 5'3" ...LOL.  We've always had fun together whether we're in private or out on the town together.  

that is taller than my self, I stand at 6'4".

I always fantasized about being with a very tall woman in the 6'7"-6'8" range, and the closest I was with was about 6'1". - The search continues...

I'm 5'8" and won't mind seeing someone later.  I met a recent lady who stood at 5'9" but was wearing heels, so when she opened the door I thought she was 6 ft. lol.  I asked her to remove her high hells and she was not that much taller.

I would say I have no problem with women being taller than me. I have been with a few that have been taller than me. One girl could rest her chin on top of my head. I have no height limits either.

However, I would definitely say that many women are averse to dating men who are shorter than they are. I think it goes to stereotypes and such and such. I would also say that shorter men are at a definite disadvantage. Makes life more challenging. They are always on the hunt for tall, dark, handsome. The equalizer though is if you are f'ing rich. So, I'm still working on the lottery plan :-P

So if a guy is height challengedf he's in luck because i'm 5'5'' lol. I wouldn't date Pit Boss like for my own pleasure but he'd be welcomed to visit me for a session lol.

"20/20 recruited men tall and short and put them in lineups behind a two-way mirror, then invited groups of women to look at the lineup and choose a date. The women were told various positive things about the shorter men -- the men were described as having interesting careers, impressive educational pedigrees or a lot of money. The women always chose the tall men.

Nothing succeeded in making them prefer the shorter men. One woman even suggested that 20/20 describe the tall men as "murderers" to even the odds for the shorter men in the test."

Pit Boss would be all up in your business.  yuk yuk.

cheers

I enjoy seeing the taller ladies, and have never been turned away because they were taller.   Several of my faves over the years were near 6', and if the height difference ever came up in conversation (it has), all said that the height difference didn't mean anything.  It may in civvie world with many women, but not here, at least in my experience.  So if you are yearning to see one of those really tall ladies, I suggest going for it.  Trust me, you'll be happy you did!

I have no problem with height at all. That goes for civvie life as well.

lol....... i'd put him in my pocket & carry him around

lol  co-sign.
