When people shouldn't date??

[alabaster]

Ok, is that totally weird when a girl is taller than her boyfriend?

My point is, we shouldn't care what people think and we don't, we love each other. But I'm like 3 inches taller, and sometimes it can be awkward.

[KrazeeStacee]

sorry, but that's really stupid. don't worry about that crap, dear.

[alabaster]

What's stupid? me asking this question? the people? or the awkwardness caused by people staring at us sometimes?

If you're embarrassed to be seen in public with her because she's taller than you, then you need to break up. If you can get over your insecurity about your height, then don't. It's simple.

[alabaster]

maybe I worry because I love him so much and I wouldn't want it to be an issue to him, in case we wind up being steady.

[twilightfadez]

if it makes you that uncomfortable, dont wear heels with him and give him some boots with a little heel
and problem solved
ta da!

[alabaster]

By the way Mr Rhinoceros I'm the girl.

My point still stands. If you can handle being looked at then keep dating him, if you can't then don't.

[alabaster]

Gawd I never wear high heels... I just hate them, plus my legs are long enough.
Boots for him is a relevant suggestion, thanks, but he's totally not the kind of guy who would wear boots or anything like that.

[KrazeeStacee]

I actually agree with rhino on this...if you can't handle it, then don't.

[twilightfadez]

ok then, not boots, but shoes with lots of sole
soul
sole and soul
ok

[alabaster]

I'm pretty sure we both can handle it. But sometimes people can be so inane and..I can't describe how it feels, you would need to be in that situation.

I don't understand that exact situation, but believe me, I know. Just do yourself a favour and don't worry about it, its trivial. Seriously, there's so much shit to worry about why make your height one of them?

Oh please.

[alabaster]

I know my subject is a little too light to ramble about it like that.
Henceworth I'm thinking "oh please!" as well.

I wonder why everyone always get affected by other people's opinions and behaviors (ew..this age-old stereotype).But we can't help it: we're living, mingling with them 24/7.

Ok you guys cheered me up, thanks mucho.. I'm going to stop caring about people and focuse on what we have and why we're together.

SHALLOW AS FUCK!

Grow up. Your relationship will come crashing down soon enough.

What is this? the 80's?

HAVE YOU FUCKED HIM YET?

[june33]

Im just a tiny bit taller than my boyfriend. I don't mind and neither does he. Don't worry about it. It is by no means a reason to NOT date a person.

"going steady" makes me giggle

to be fair, it does look a lil strange when the girl is taller than the guy in a relationship...i saw a couple in town the other day and they stood out a mile. i don't think there's anything wrong with it...but it was unusual.

and no matter what any of you lot say, it DOES make a difference

do you think it's a coincidence that tall girls generally date tallER lads?

[twice]

i <3 being shorter than my guy

my ex was 6'2...that was a little too much though.:erm

No, I think it's because tall girls miss shorter guys completely because they're below their line of eyesight.

i understand. it speaks for gender roles.... it says a lot i think

maybe people in this thread just don't understand b/c they're short females or tall guys.
i'm 5'10" ....it makes a bit of difference to me because people who i've found attractive have been shorter. maybe its an insecurity on my part, or whatever....but unless you're of whatever stature in question, you cannot begin to understand how it is.

i had an argument with a roommate (who was 5'3") about this once. she said she'd date someone, no question, if they were shorter than her. now what's the chance of that happening? i'd imagine that less than 0.5% of the male population is shorter than 5'3". if she met someone that short, she probably wouldn't be attracted to them in the first place....but since she's never had to deal with it, she has no idea of what its like.

this isn't just some sociological thing either. we discussed it in my biology class one day. females of ANY species rarely will mate with a smaller male. it just doesn't happen.

No, I'm telling you, it's because tall boys are always looking all around and up and down pretending like they're James Bond, so they see the shorter girls, but tall girls don't like James Bond so they don't do that.

[KrazeeStacee]

hahaha, I like Lie's theory.

I've dated guys taller, shorter, older, younger...I can understand where the insecurity comes from, but I seriously don't think its something anyone needs to concern themselves with. It shouldn't even be a question. I can see if he was an asshole, but short? Come on.

I have to say though, I do prefer taller guys, like a lot taller guys, cuz I like to curl up in their chests (that sounds totally not like i mean it, but i hope you get the point, im not literally opening their rib cages and climbing in...okay anyways...). My current boyfriend is 6'3" and I'm 5'6", so I'm at perfect chest level

damn midgets getting out of line!!

actually, i do hate james bond

i think there's an attraction for shorter guys to want taller women tho...that whole amazonian dominance.... plus boobs fall right at their eye level.
