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.

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?

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.

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).

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 · 01-30-2006, 12:28 PM

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 · 01-30-2006, 01:48 PM

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 · 01-30-2006, 03:03 PM

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 · 01-30-2006, 03:58 PM

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 · 01-30-2006, 04:03 PM

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.

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 · 01-30-2006, 05:43 PM

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.

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 · 01-31-2006, 10:20 AM

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 · 01-31-2006, 10:36 AM

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

hawk4669 · 01-31-2006, 11:17 AM

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

Cheers!
