    Hey :slight_smile: I have a question...I am a 5”8 femme, I have never dated a woman but would love to when I feel more comfortable and confident. But it has recently occurred to me that the majority of women I see tend to be shorter than me. Has anyone here found height to be a problem? How do people here feel about dating someone taller than them? Please be honest - I’ve accepted my height so won’t be offended (I’m destined to reach high shelves for people for eternity!) I know I cannot change how tall I am I was just wondering how other people felt about it?

    I never though 5'8" was very tall... height is one of those weird things some people do get hung up on. Though I think it tends to be more men that dislike dating women taller than them. I can't recall hearing any women complain about a partner's height. If someone is overly picky about something as silly as height, you can do better anyways.

    I actually find taller women very attractive. I also had a friend who told me that one of the reasons that she was not really attracted to me was that I was shorter than her and she prefers taller women. (I am 162cm, 5' 3/4")

    I actually think that is where my potential insecurity/concern has come from, every guy I have dated has made it a problem. One guy was a bit shorter than me and I think looking back he was actually really insecure and unfortunately took it out on me - I wasn’t allowed to wear heels/thick soled shoes (even converse) because apparently he felt uncomfortable about it :/ I personally don’t care about height but I think my past experiences have made me wonder if others would.

    Oh wow...well that gives me hope! :slight_smile: I’ve never considered height as a thing for dating before. My friend asked me if I would date girls shorter than me - and she seemed surprised when I said I would. I did joke and say I think it would massively limit my options if I didn’t, but in all honesty it doesn’t phase me :slight_smile:

    Height has never seemed to be a problem tbh... I guess everyone has their preferences but personally, short/tall/height equivalent... none of that matters to me. :blush:

    I am slightly taller than you and it’s never been a problem for me or for the girls I have dated. I have also been with girls taller than me and I get intimidated for a second because I am so used to being the tall one lol but it has never put me off.
    I really don’t notice my height anymore unless I am wearing heels!

    5’8 is not too tall , I consider it ideal height off course from man perspective... I’ve dated a lot of 6 footers , so tall women are out there !

    Everyone is taller than me! To add insult to injury I have shrunk even more over the years .

    Women are fine with taller women! As you say, you can reach the things off shelves that the shorter ones can’t teach :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

    I’d love to be as tall as you :slight_smile: It’s a perfect height to be :slight_smile:
