Can a BF/GF be too tall?

• Little Danny

  

  I saw this article about celebrity height differences and it got me thinking. How much of a difference between couples is too much? Also, if you are a guy, would you date a girl who is taller than you?
  
  Note: I am a foot taller than my wife (6'3-5'3). I have no problem with it and neither does she.

  I am 5'10" and hubby is 6'2". I have always dated taller men. Tall men make me feel safe. And I really don't want to date someone who's ass I could kick.

  I'm 6'2 and I think my gf is 5'3..maybe. That's about as far as I want to go in terms of height. It would be easier if she were taller, but it's not a big deal.

  I once dated a "little person". I was nuts over her.

  I am 6'3 and girlfriend is 5'4....Doesn't bother me...
  
  I would never date a girl who is taller then me...
• raiderbuck

  yea definitely...I'm right at 6 feet. I wouldn't want to date a girl taller than me.

  I'm 6'4" and my wife is 4'11" and the height difference doesn't bother either of us.

  I would have no problem dating a girl that was taller than me. I wouldn't even mind if she wore heels.

  I'm 5'10, too. I've dated guys who are the same height or slightly shorter, and they seem to always end up with a complex about being shorter than me. My penchant for 3-4 in. heels probably doesn't help, but they knew that going in!

  I am 6'4" my wife is 5'6" things work out well.
  
  I would never date a woman taller than me.

  I have never dated a girl who is taller than me. The closest was a girl in college who was slightly shorter than me (she was about 6'1). I always wonder who ends up hooking up with the very tall girls (you know, girls like Rebecca Lobo who are 6'8 or taller). I just don't find girls with those features very attractive.

  I don't think I could ever date a girl taller than me(6'1").

  Im 6-0/ 6-1
  
  Dated 5-11, 5-5, and 5-3
  
  Never had a problem with any of them.
  
  The 5-11 girl wore heels to dances/dates and such and thus was an inch taller or so. I never had an issue, so I dont think I would have an issue if the girl was genuinely taller than me either. That said, if a girl is 6-1 I am most likely not going to find them as attractive.

  Those girls end up hooking up with other girls.

  I'm 5'10" and my fiancee is 5'3"...so there's not a huge difference there.
  
  But in high school, I was 5'4" and dated a girl that was 6'0". I didn't care...but it ended up bothering her.

  15 posts in and nobody has commented on Hayden Panettiere and boxer Wladimir Klitschko dating?? WTF is she thinking?
• lhslep134

  

  Okay so I'm 5'6" my girlfriend is 5'8", I think sometimes it bothers her, but it's a serious relationship so she gets over it. We've been to a few of my fraternity formals, and it hasn't been an issue.
  
  I also hooked up with a girl who is 6'2". Hilarity ensued.
• Scarlet_Buckeye

  

  Guys can never be too tall. Girls can. I have dated two girls who were taller than me. One was like a half an inch to an inch taller and the other is about a solid inch or a little more taller.

  I don't usually follow celebrity relationships, but when I heard about this, I couldn't believe it. Pretty weird combo if you ask me.
  
  Anyway, I'm 5'11" and my girlfriend is 5'6". I never really thought about dating anyone taller than me, but I don't know if I'd be against it.
• mtrulz

  I'm just slightly taller than my girl.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  I don't recall ever meeting a girl taller than I am, but I am 6' 7".

  If you want her to be taller than you..just hold your arm above your head..duh. *just messin' with ya..don't get your panties in a bunch*
  
  But seriously..I've always preferred woman that were taller..but not taller than me. I'm 6'4...my wife is 6'0.
• Devils Advocate

  

  You gotta love a guy tha loves a challenge. Looks like he is short AT LEAST A FOOT
  
  
  
  I wonder if they have 2x4's to strap to your ass in china ?
• Little Danny

  

  ^^^ The only way they could ever have intercourse is in the missionary position. He would need a stap ladde to tag it from behind and she would squash him if she tried to ride him.
