I'm 5' even, and Sean is 6'2.5, if he hasn't grown again! When I need something high up when he's around, I just stare at it and give him puppy dog eyes. He gets the idea pretty quick!

I'm 5'6" and my DH is just a hair under 6'2". He's the shrimp of the men in his family. My father-in-law and brothers-in-law are all about 6'4"! Makes me afraid of how big our future children might be!

I'm 5'2" and my hubby is 5'11" (or so he says, I think it's more like 5'10"). But all my previous bfs were over 6 feet & I think that they treated me much better - maybe cuz they didn't have to be married to me
I tried dating shorter guys a few times, but it seemed that they had "short man's complex" & tried picking on the person shorter than they were

I'm 5'5" and hubby is around 5'7". I don't wear real high heels anyway, so I don't mind at all! And barefoot at home, it's actually the perfect height for me to hug him (my arms underneath) and for him to give me a bear hug!

Wow, all these huge height differences!!!

I once dated a guy who was 6'4"...WOW! An even foot taller! I felt like carrying around a step stool.

I really like it with Ian...no bending or tip-toes for hugs and kisses. We can walk around with our arms around each other and our hands are at the same-ish height. And plus, I loathe wearing heels...my favorite dress shoes are a pair of satin ballet slippers!

I like my guy being so much taller than me, I fit quite nicely into his chest.

And I never wear heels anyway, height difference or no, I can't walk in those things! I don't even have dress shoes.


I have a friend that is just almost 5 feet tall though, and she constantly has people trying set her up with 5 foot 2 guys because they'll obviously fall right in love based on similar height. She hates it.

Movin' on up!
I'm 5' 6 1/2" and Bill CLAIMS to be 5' 7". However, when we are barefoot and face-to-face, I can look right over the top of his head. I'm betting that he's more like 5' 5".

I REFUSE to give up my high heels! If a man has a problem, with the height difference, it's HIS problem and I don't need a man who's that insecure.

We have a great relationship.....he can reach the top shelves, and I can remember what I had asked him to put in those high shelves!
K, that just made me laugh so hard!!

O-H-I-O!
I'm 5'8 and a half and Trav is about half an inch shorter than me. Luckily, I don't like wearing heels so that makes it easy
Barefoot we're about the same height though.

And Sam, I ALWAYS said I could never date anyone shorter than me. I was always attracted to tall men. Then I met Trav and it couldn't be more perfect. I still feel very safe with him.

Does anybody else have the feeling that the older you get, the shorter you become? I'm 5'6" (168 cm), and that was about average height when I was in my teens and twenties. Now that I'm in my late 40s (!!!!), I feel short in comparison to many of my female students. A lot of them are 6' or over. My husband (6', or 180 cm) feels the same way - two of our nephews (16 and 17) tower over him, and appear to still be growing.

Craig and I are far apart when it comes to height. I'm 5'2" and he's 6'4". He's a whole foot and two inches taller!


I love it though!
He likes to tease me about being short. That's nothing though... his best friend is 6'10"!!!! I barely go above his waist.. LOL!
