No.

6'6" will put her in the top 1% of women's height. Why is she not in the WNBA? Surely she can block a few shots, grab a few boards, and learn a post move or two. My guess is her dates will have to be like 6'9" or higher. Join the WNBA and meet an NBA guy.

My sister is 6'2" (taller than one of my brothers) and I've dated a woman the same. I don't think I've ever met a woman who was actually taller than me. She's not 1% - more like 0.001%

It would be awkward dating a tall woman. I'm 6'3 and it just wouldn't look right dating a woman that's my height...couldn't do it.

I'm only 5' 9", I've never been with a tall girl. If I was single I'd try and tackle one of the bigger ladies.

Some of the good bits are a little higher, which is a good thing.

Guess she likes being a chemical engineer more. she never really like playing sports while in high school or college, sports isnt for everyone.

Would your daughter consider joining a tall club.
Tall Clubs International - A social organization for tall people!

Dont laugh but has she considered volunteering or working around tall guys. A lot of people dont venture out of their immediate social circle. How will they know how fabulous she is if they dont meet her.
Rose, thank you for the information, will pass it along to Sam.

I come from a family of tall women. I am almost 6'5 and would not have a problem but many women in our family have struggled with their height and self image.

Great recommendation to find a tall club or group around. Luckily there are places she can buy clothes nowadays that fit. Not to long ago everything had to almost be special made.

I'm 5'6 and have dated a girl thats 6'1 so I know that not all guys are intimidated by their girlfriend being taller than them. People shouldn't be worried about how they'll look in public or intimidated anyways. It's not an issue, at least for me.
