Height of your partner?

[Eaglesfan27]

Inspired in part by the Ryan Shrimpcrest thread, I was wondering how many of you guys have dated taller women? How many are married to taller women? Of course, the women can answer the natural opposite questions.

I never dated anyone that was shorter than me until I met my wife. I'm 5'8 and a half. Mrs. Eaglesfan is 5'9 even. It was never an issue for us, but a few of my friends have joked about it and a few of my uncles have joked about it as well. It was slightly odd when we first started slow dancing, but it has never really bothered me. Interestingly, one of my other uncles married a 6'4" women (he is 5'10".) Anyway, I'm just curious.

[DeToxRox]

I don't date power forwards or centers.

[sabotai]

Never dated anyone taller than me. I'm 5'11", my ex was 5'3".

[Schmidty]

My ex-fiance' of 4 years(before my wife), was 6'1". I am 5'11" (and a 1/4).

My wife is 5'5".

[Fonzie]

Never dated anyone taller than me. My wife is 5'5" and I'm 5'10".

[Groundhog]

I'm 6'1 and never dated taller. My current girl is 5'5 which is about the average height I've gone with.

My flatmate is 6'4 and his girlfriend is 6'2. It's strange hanging out with those two as it makes me feel like (a) shorty.

[Honolulu_Blue]

I am 6'4" and have never dated anyone taller. Lady H_B is 5'10". I like that.

[DeToxRox]

I am 6'3" or 6'4" and I like smaller girls.

5'4" is perfect. PERFECT.

[DeToxRox]

I am 6'4" and have never dated anyone taller. Lady H_B is 5'10". I like that.

Pssh .. Michigan fan .. Wings fan .. Lions fan .. 6'4" .. Oakland County .. Quit trying to be me

[Lathum]

I'm 6 even and my girl is about 5'9". Never been with anyone taller.

[Danny]

7 inches... Oops, you said partner, not member...

Single atm, but I like girls who are average to short in height. I am 6'3.

[Lathum]

dola-

unfortuanaly wider is a different story :)

[oykib]

I've been dating a progression of tiny girls since I came to Japan. Not that they're all tiny-- or, even, that I particularly look fo tiny girls.

But the smallest was maybe 4'10" and I'm 5'7". That presented a few difficulties.

I was getting freanky on the dance floor at a party a couple of nights ago. She was maybe 5 feet. When we progressed to the point of intertwined thighs and pelvic thrusts, her heels were literally coming off the ground as she rode in a somewhat lewd way on my thigh...

Too much height difference can be a problem.

[Shkspr]

My wife has decent size for an NFL wideout. You'd like her to have another inch or two to get up over those corners, but she can go over the middle if she has to.

[Emiliano]

My girlfriend is 5'10'', I'm 6'1''.

[Desnudo]

I'm 5'11", the tallest woman I've ever dated was 5'8". I can't really think of too many woman I've met over about that height though.

[mgadfly]

I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5'3". I never dated anyone taller, though I think I've only known one or two girls that were my height or taller. I've also never dated anyone heavier than 50 lbs lighter than half my present weight.

[Shkspr]

I've also never dated anyone heavier than 50 lbs lighter than half my present weight.

Even if one train leaves New York for Chicago going 78 MPH and the other leaves Chicago for New York going 67 MPH?

[Karlifornia]

Right now I'm dating this cutie that's only 4'7"....but once she hits puberty I imagine she'll shoot up at least 6 inches or so......

:eek:


My wife is 5'0" and I'm 5'11". It hasn't really caused us any issues...although she wishes she were taller whenever we slow dance. I dated one girl who was taller than me, but we didn't see each other for long.

[sterlingice]

I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5'3". I never dated anyone taller, though I think I've only known one or two girls that were my height or taller. I've also never dated anyone heavier than 50 lbs lighter than half my present weight.Ok, so my math skills and reading comprehension skills might be a little rusty, so let me take a crack at this. Let's pretend you're 400 lbs as that's pretty heavy. That means you've never dated anyone heavier than 150. If you're 300, we're talking 100. That's quite a bit of differential.

SI

[sterlingice]

I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'5". She likes it because it means she gets to wear some fun shoes when we go out. I don't think I care all that much. I don't have the dating history that I suspect a lot of people here have, but I've never dated anyone as tall as me. Then again, there aren't a lot of 6'2" girls out there.

SI

[Desmond]

I wanna have sex with a giant woman, im talking 6'6 or better. An amazon. Id really like to do that once before I die.

Tallest i've ever had was probably about 6'1 or 6'2, most of it legs.

[Icy]

Well i started to date my wife when we were 14 years old and we are 30 now so i can't talk a lot about my dates as it has been mainly one. I'm 5'11" and she is 5'3". I don't like tall girls.

I think he likes Bulimics.

[JeffR]

I think he likes Bulimics.

Or amputees.

Now that I think about it, I haven't dated anyone over 5'6" in at least ten years. Where the tall women at?

But if he's 350 - which is roughly what my dad is at that height, I think - that would mean 125.

Also, he said he's *never* dated anyone heavier than that weight. 125 in high school would probably be quite a bit different for him than 125 now.

[gottimd]

My wife is a petite woman but her fury knows no bounds.

[miami_fan]

I am 6'5 and my wife is 5'8. The tallest woman I ever dated was 6'1

[Marc Vaughan]

I'm 6'6'' tall and have only dated a taller girl once when I was a kid (heck there aren't many of them around ;) ) ...

My wife is a petite 5'5'' tall ...

[Raiders Army]

I'm a petite 5'6" and my wife is a petite 5'5".

[Noop]

I am 5'11 tallest I ever dated was 5'6...

[Terps]

I'm 5'11", never dated anyone over 5'7". My current girlfriend is 5'2".

[McSweeny]

i'm about 5'8"

my ex was around 5'4" and my current girlfriend is about as tall as i am

[FrogMan]

I'm 6'6'' tall and have only dated a taller girl once when I was a kid (heck there aren't many of them around ;) ) ...

My wife is a petite 5'5'' tall ...
Woah Marc, you're the Peter Crouch of SI GAMES!!! Seriously, maybe a bit less ugly ;) :p

I'm a hair under 6, well maybe a bit more than a hair at about 5' 11 1/2" and my wife is 5' 1 1/2", err, 5' 2" (see the shrimpcrest thread if you really want to understand ;))

[Ben E Lou]

I dated one gal taller than me. She was around 6'1". I never thought twice about it until later on, when I had an attractive female friend who was 6'2" and complained about the difficulty of getting dates because guys were intimidated to be with someone taller than them. :confused:

EDIT: Oh, and the wife is around 5'6"-5'7" or so, I think.

[Drake]

My wife is a petite woman but her fury knows no bounds.

Amen.

[Warhammer]

The tallest one I dated was 5'8". All the others were around 5'2" or 5'4". My wife is 5'0", so she is perfect since she has a place on her head where I can rest my beer!

[graygoosetwelve]

But if he's 350 - which is roughly what my dad is at that height, I think - that would mean 125.

But if he's 200, then that would mean 50! :D

[Draft Dodger]

I'm 5'10 and my wife is 5'9. works out pretty well, but if she's in heels, she's taller. that bugs her more than it does me.

I did make out with a chick who was 6'0 once, and that was kind of a strange experience.

[Farrah Whitworth-Rahn]

I'm 5'2". Arlie is 6'4". I've never dated anyone shorter than 6'. I like my men tall. :)

[CamEdwards]

I'm 5'8" and my wife is 5'11". It's never bothered me, and I don't think it bothered her.

[BuffaloHuskey]

I'm 6'0 and definately have nto dated anyone my height but prefer my ladies to be in the 5'7-5'9 range. Most of the time though, height is no factor for me

[Bee]

I'm 6'3" and the tallest woman I ever dated was around 6' (although she said she was 5'10", which was BS).

[Solecismic]

6'1"/5'5", 5'9"

[Wolfpack]

About 5-6 to 5-7 or so (depends on the day it seems) and my wife stands about 5-4. My family has never had really tall people in it. We all seem to top out at 5-7. My wife has relatives who do get near the 6-0 mark, so there may be hope for our kids yet. However, our first has dropped rather precipitously down the growth chart over the last year, so she won't be in the WNBA more than likely. :)

[oliegirl]

I'm 5'2". Arlie is 6'4". I've never dated anyone shorter than 6'. I like my men tall. :)


I'm with you Farrah! I'm about 5'5" (on a good day) and radii is a solid 6'4" :)

[chinaski]

My GF of 4 years is barely 5 feet tall, im 6'1". Shes 26, but looks about 16. When she was 18, she played a 10 year old on a Nickelodeon show called "You Cant do that on Television" and played a child in a few different commercials... when I first saw her working at my local eatery, I asked my regular waitress if she was old enough to work, not serve beer, but actually work :)

Isn't that the show Alanis Morisette was on? Does she know her?

according to the GF it is the show that Alanis was on. also according to my GF - im an idiot. she wasnt on "You cant do that on Television", it was a show called Pete and Pete. She was also on Elimidate and Change of Heart. If anyone knows how to get copies of those 2 dating shows, please let me know. http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm 5'10'' and most of the girls I've dated have been between 5'7'' and 5'9''.

OMG, I loved Pete and Pete. You're not dating Ellen, are you?

[tarcone]

i'm 6'0" and my wife is 5'7". i have never dated anyone taller although i have always wanted too, just because of the ease of taking a shower

I'm 6' even, my wife is around 5'8".

With one exception, she's the shortest I dated from about age 19 forward, but only one was pretty much as tall as me (less than a half-inch difference).
The rest were all 5'9" to 5'11" (although I'd swear it wasn't intentional, it just kinda worked out that way).

[WSUCougar]

I'm 6-2 and my wife is 5-6.

I dated a few women in college who were considered tall, but not taller than me.

[rjolley]

6'9 here, and I've dated between 5'2 and 6'3. Never dated taller, as I shot up early and never met a young lady taller than me.

Did meet a young lady that was 6'6 when I was visiting Iowa State. Kool person, odd to dance with.

Ideal, to me, is 5'9 to 6'4. Nice height to dance with.

Edit: Oh, and to answer the title of the thread, not dating right now, but my last lady was 5'7.

[sterlingice]

I've never understood the "I'm too tall, no one will date me" thing from tall women. That just seems weird to me.

SI

[Karlifornia]

I'm 5'9" and I've never dated a girl taller than about 5'6", but that is just circumstance. I really couldn't care less how tall or short the girl is.

[path12]

I'm 6'0", my gf is 5'1", and is the shortest woman I've ever gone out with. Most have been in 5'6" to 5'9" range.

[Ksyrup]

I'm 5'9", never dated a girl taller than about 5'4". My wife is around 5'2".

And let me be the first to admit that my mom is around 5'4", and yes I believe that has had an influence on my taste in women. There are very few women my height, or certainly taller, that I find attractive. I don't think that's a coincidence.

Based on this thread, it seems to me that for the most part women over 6 foot aren't getting any love! Now that may be because they are ugly as sin or lack personality etc. :D

I would have no problem with a woman taller than I (actually, I think it'd be kind of cool). Just never worked out that way.

[Pumpy Tudors]

My wife and I are both about 5'4". I think she's got a fraction of an inch on me except when I sport the afro.

[mgadfly]

But if he's 350 - which is roughly what my dad is at that height, I think - that would mean 125.

Also, he said he's *never* dated anyone heavier than that weight. 125 in high school would probably be quite a bit different for him than 125 now.


I weigh 380 lbs. My wife weighs 135 lbs and she is the heaviest person I ever dated. I'm not sure of the weights of all my girlfriends in high school, but they were all very skinny. The girls I saw in college were smaller than my wife, but not by much. Then I got married.

[JeeberD]

6'2" here and the tallest girl I ever dated was a redheaded beauty who stood 5'10". I had a SERIOUS crush on a 6'1" girl when I was 19 or so, but that never worked out. I've also dated girls as short as 4'10"...

My fiancee' is 5'6". :)

[Kodos]

Everyone I ever dated was shorter and younger than me, although a couple were close to me in height.

[hawk4669]

5'8" here (shrimp, I know...lol), and the wife is 5' even.

Cheers!
