I'm 5ft10 (no not 6 feet, as everyone somehow likes rounding up to!) and I will not date someone shorter than me in my highest heels - this may sound shallow to some, but Match.com came thru for me, my boyfriend is 6ft6, ideal! You're right though, there really aren't too many tall men around! :)Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873895703631876934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-31996457481734932952011-08-25T22:25:43.173+01:002011-08-25T22:25:43.173+01:00(I love that The Person has set up an account just...(I love that The Person has set up an account just to defend his height honour!)<br /><br /><br />This is a subject SO close to my heart!! Men lie about their height it's a fact. If they say they're 6' they're 5'10". If they say they're 5'10" they're 5'7". I'm 5'11" and I've turned up to more than one internet date (sigh) with a supposed six footer and they've looked up and me and said "Wow, you ARE tall aren't you?" I'm like, "Yeah... you're not!" So now I'll only look at the ones who say 6'1" or more as 6' seems to be the golden figure for the shorties. My ex actually rounded his height down to appear less freakish haha (6'5" - perfect height for me to wear heels and still be smaller).<br /><br />I must sound so shallow to any of the 5'4" girls reading this but honestly unless you've ever had to bend down to kiss your boyfriend I don't think you can understand. I had a four year relationship with someone 5'6" and felt such a big heifer all the time, never again!

I have always believed my calves to be quite normal and perfectly proportional to me very normal physique but in the last week I have failed to zip up two pairs of knee-high boots. In Clarks. Home of mum-shoes! I am horrified.

I cannot and will not go out with a guy shorter than I. Just doesn't work. My neck hurts just bending over to kiss....no....hell no. lol <br /><br />I am 5'8 3/4". I was once that I know of, and probably more that I didn't know of, called an Amazon. My ex heard someone call me that...and the jerk did nothing. He was standing next to a guy that was his superior inside a house and I was outside tending to the homeowner's pool and the 'house person' called me that.

My sister is 6' and pretty much always wears flats - she admits when she first met her now husband she used to walk in the road so he had the kerb advantage! He wasn't bothered at all, but she was. On the plus side my physio friends would say those killer heels are seriously bad for you (something to do with posture and shortened calves I think...) and those blue sandals are really nice!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869694240743414050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-55293204272255525742011-08-16T22:21:44.335+01:002011-08-16T22:21:44.335+01:00Freakishly long!

I've had one taller boyfriend and he was an absolute idiot. My lovely fella is 5 9 and fabulous with it. I've also figured that if a man is too intimidated by a taller girlfriend, he's not worth having in the first place.Mirianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236111119718805934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-1660956651658880222011-08-15T21:54:16.266+01:002011-08-15T21:54:16.266+01:00Oh the joys of unintentionally insulting comments ...Oh the joys of unintentionally insulting comments from mothers.

I love my tall shoes (I'm only 5'6", which wouldn't be too bad if I weren't surrounded by Very Tall People all the time. So I compensate with my footwear), but they're really impractical for cycling. So flats it is. Even though a pair of nice pumps would be preferable ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-10667424420529641842011-08-15T18:36:35.692+01:002011-08-15T18:36:35.692+01:00Ah bless all mums - they have a way of saying thin...Ah bless all mums - they have a way of saying things that make you us feel *really* really good about ourselves. I offer up my mum's comment, "you used to look so nice, what happened?". Mr GiW is shorter than me and it's never bothered me (although I could never go out with someone younger than me, weird eh?). Kudos to you for being able to wear 4" heels. I wear flats all the time now, as heels hurt my back. The perils of being old.agirlinwinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176271184746250169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-16213227447950599742011-08-15T18:35:22.495+01:002011-08-15T18:35:22.495+01:00So many women and guys feel like this.
