I'm a tall guy as well, taller actually than Tall Tiger, and considering the fact that this is all about height, I'd be most interested to know how tall you are Chowhound (which, by the way, is a ridiculous name). On the basis of your contributions, if such drivel could possibly be named so generously, I can't help but picture a sad little man who bravely stuffs his shoes and can only buy his pants in the children's section. Just my opinion of you.
Pretty Obvious certain posters are a bit envious, so lash out at what they don't have as 'freakish'
I just met a guy, who is about an inch taller than me. He is flirty but keeps pointing out my height (in a funny way). I think he feels threatened by it. I said "Wow, you seem to be really scared of tall women" ... his answer "I actually love tall women, I am just making fun of you". Hmmm. Not so sure about it.
Actually, no. The taller, the better (unless you're as tall as Shaquille O'Neal). And I'm 5'9". Maybe it's because I like the feeling of cradling my head in his chest when he embraces me. It makes me feel all warm, fuzzy, and secure.
Absolutely. I am 5'4". Someone more than a foot taller than me is too tall for me. Really above 6'2". I don't want to look up the whole time. And I rarely wear heels.
I saw a great looking guy in the bus the other day. I thought in my head, "wow, you are cute. Too bad you are so tall." He would have been great for my tall friend. He was at least 6'5" :P
I like men who are really short. It's purely physical but guys between 5'4" and 5'6" or thereabouts have always revved my motor.
My husband cracks up about this. He's 5'10" and I practically have to bring over a step stool to kiss him.
There's no literally "too tall" because it comes down to personality, not height, but yes, I have felt weird dating taller guys in the past. Felt weird trying to hold the man's hand, match his giant stride. Crane my neck waaay back to be able to look up at him.
I make my husband sit down a lot! Or else lie down, that seems to work out too.
There was a guy who did an experiment a few years ago who posted a profile on a major dating website. He made the profile completely genuine and listed things that would be very important to him in a relationship. He also listed quietly that he was 7ft tall. He got thousands of responses per day, many asking how large his junk was and from women wanting to just play with him.
These women would had to seek out his height, he did not advertise it openly. Thousands of daily responses.
He then posted virtually the same profile with his height being 5'9" and got two responses in a week!
Need I say more?
Yes, indeed, you do need to say more, but I'll do it for you: all this proves (any back up for this story, BTW? It sounds kind of urban legend-y to me) is that if someone is *a novelty* he will get loads of attention. Seven feet tall is highly unusual. Of course women were curious. Now if this guy had posted the second profile as six rather than seven feet, then we might be getting closer to a comparison that made sense.
