Dating is tough for those of us who are very tall which is probably why most of us are here: to find someone whose head comes up above our shoulders.

I've noticed women on other dating sites describe themselves as tall when they are as little as 5'5". I am constantly approached by women in the range below that. Men lie about their height. There is a fetishism of height. Everyone wants to be tall these days but only a few of us can say we really are tall.

Dating is tough for those of us who are very tall which is probably why most of us are here: to find someone whose head comes up above our shoulders.

I've noticed women on other dating sites describe themselves as tall when they are as little as 5'5". I am constantly approached by women in the range below that. Men lie about their height. There is a fetishism of height. Everyone wants to be tall these days but only a few of us can say we really are tall.

So here's the question. What are your favourite dating stories dating? Have you ever dated anyone shorter? Is height a deal breaker for you?

My favourite story is actually my friend's. She clocks in a 5'5". She has a fetish about height and it is a deal breaker for her. She won't date anyone under 6'. One guy who claimed to be 6' met her for coffee. He wasn't an inch over 5'9". She noticed this immediately and challenged him on it. He meekly said that he thought that if she got to know him that his height wouldn't be an issue. She said he was wrong about that. She finished her coffee and never saw him again.

I think her attitude isn't all that unusual. What about you? What are your deal breakers? Use a story to illustrate.

Happy dating!

I'm 5'11 and I also love to ware my high-healed shoes, they complete the of fit. I feel your pain, I have experienced problems with dating and/or working with men that are shorter than me, they just assume that I think I'm better than they are because I'm taller. I would love to meet people that are secure in themselves and appreciate what God gave them and stop comparing themselves to others...

Deal Breaker...don't get me started on that... Well, actually, it is pretty hard to find a deal breaker for me at the start...I try to look past the outside and see what is inside. So typically, when I am with someone shorter...I don't notice it until they seem to have a problem with it.

An example... I am just over 5'10" in my bare feet, but I tend to wear 2-3" heels that puts me at about 6-6'1"...I went out with a someone from work. He stood at about 5'6". I didn't r  more...

I didn't really notice the difference. But he seemed uneasy and kind of nervous. He finally said that I was REALLY tall. Then, how tall was I? (and I bet most of you could guess the next question)...yep, Did I play basketball? ... ... ...

Well as the night grew on, I began to get tired of all the tall talking going on and I just blurted out that he was short and should get over it. After that the rest of the date was fine...and we even went out on a few more where height was not an issue.

I feel it is difficult to find someone with similar interests and a certain amount of chemistry no matter what height two people find themselves at. It would obviously be nice to be a good complement to each other but I find that is a rare occurrence.

Ok...Regarding deal breakers...I have a looooong story for this one too. But lets just say the following usually would get most of us girls a little turned off...The perpetual flirter (making flirty comments to another girl while on a date), The flatulent fiend (if you must pass gas, please try to have some class...passing may be best in the restroom), and The showerless stink bag (body odor of an extreme sort is not something that a date prefers to remember...showers and some sort of after shower additives -cologne- might be nice).

I probably sound like a terrible person...however, I have had these experiences in the past and I would have to say that they were pretty much a deal breaker.

The above account was not intended to offend anyone and I would like to apologize in advance if anyone found it offensive. less...

Bradley, It is so crazy today. Short guys want taller gals. Tall gals want short guys, though many say they want tall guys. Perswonality is the most important, with compatability, but, I sure would also like a taller gal, above my shoulders. At 54, i am still waiting. The only gals who have shown any interest in me, have been below 5-5, and overweight. I almost envy the shorter guys, who can easily find gals their size. Gary

My dealbreakers are definitely not being tall.I'm 5'11 and so many men lie about their height. Ok, here's my dating story. I worked for the theatre years ago and during our fundraising period, a guy named( let's just call him Jack) used to contribute thousands of dollars. Well over the years I would call him and one year he asked me out on a date. Don't ask me why I didn't ask him how tall he was. I just plumb forgot.

So we agreed to meet at a very popular singles hangout.I got there first.I was wearing high heels of all things. While I was waiting, there were some very cute guys playing pool. They could see that I was probably waiting for someone. Well, 5 mins later in walks this guy Jack.I knew it was him because he told me he would be wearing a beig suit. He was all of 4'11. I thought I would die. He came up to me extended his hand and said hello as if nothing was wrong. I lost my appetite. At the end of the evening, he gave me a lift to my car in his Porche. Would you believe he actually used pedal extensions? He was a total gentleman the entire evening. When I got to my car, he asked if he could see me again and I have to confess I lied and told him I was in a relationship. I know size shouldn't matter but that was too much for me. less...

Well i dont mean to be rude, as you are obviously friendly with this woman, but dont you think she has a rather shallow approach to dating!

I am 5'7 and my previous partners have been 6ft plus. I do feel attracted to people who are tall, mainly because I like to wear stilletoes and feel feminine, if I wear my high heels and tower above the gentleman I am with, I dont feel the warmth or protection of the classic 'provider' male.

I have my own financial stability, and a demanding job in a male environment, but I still like to feel that my man can protect me, and comfort me, as history dictates.

This does not however rule out the possibility of me dating shorter men! I am not desperate, nor a slut, I dont follow trends, nor do I need a status symbol male. If a man had the right personality, his height wouldnt matter. Its just that as a single girl looking, my preference is tall.

Its like any man would say, I prefer a blonde, or red head.

To say she 'MUST' be blonde however would be considered rude and very politically in-correct. So to say a man 'MUST' be over 6ft. Its rather sexist, self centered and shallow dont you think? less...

To me it is not in the height all the time ,it is what is in the heart is he or she a good, kind and loving person. The reason for this is that i am 6'3" and i have some very loving and caring friends that are 5'9" that i just love to death because of who the person is not their height.
