Height of your partner?
 
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 01-29-2006 11:15 PM

I don't date power forwards or centers.

sabotai 01-29-2006 11:19 PM

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

Schmidty 01-29-2006 11:19 PM

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 01-29-2006 11:23 PM

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

Groundhog 01-29-2006 11:26 PM

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 01-29-2006 11:29 PM

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

DeToxRox 01-29-2006 11:30 PM

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

5'4" is perfect. PERFECT.

Lathum 01-29-2006 11:34 PM

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

Danny 01-29-2006 11:34 PM

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 01-29-2006 11:34 PM

dola-

unfortuanaly wider is a different story :)

oykib 01-30-2006 12:26 AM

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 01-30-2006 12:43 AM

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 01-30-2006 01:08 AM

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

Desnudo 01-30-2006 01:10 AM

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 01-30-2006 01:10 AM

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.

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

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.

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 01-30-2006 02:27 AM

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 01-30-2006 02:35 AM

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 01-30-2006 03:03 AM

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.

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 01-30-2006 05:32 AM

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

miami_fan 01-30-2006 05:34 AM

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

Marc Vaughan 01-30-2006 05:38 AM

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 01-30-2006 05:53 AM

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

Noop 01-30-2006 06:17 AM

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

Terps 01-30-2006 06:43 AM

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

McSweeny 01-30-2006 07:14 AM

i'm about 5'8"

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 01-30-2006 07:29 AM

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.

Amen.

Warhammer 01-30-2006 08:16 AM

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!

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

Draft Dodger 01-30-2006 08:39 AM

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 01-30-2006 08:57 AM

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

CamEdwards 01-30-2006 09:03 AM

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

BuffaloHuskey 01-30-2006 09:19 AM

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 01-30-2006 09:28 AM

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 01-30-2006 09:54 AM

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

Wolfpack 01-30-2006 10:38 AM

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. :)

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

chinaski 01-30-2006 10:57 AM

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?
