No, I haven't. I'm not against the idea, it's just never worked out that way.

Im a woman, but my 2 formal relationships were taller than myself (over 6 foot), im 5 9 so is not that easy to find men taller than me. I find most men here are around my height or shorter, and some are taller. I had casual flings when i was younger with guys shorter than myself, but my 2 LTR were with taller men.

I'm 6'1" and like my heels on the high side.

I've dated as short as 5'7" and as tall as 6'9" (or maybe he was 7'. )

I married an amazing man who is 5'9". (He was hooked when I showed up in heels knowing he was a few inches shorter than me. )

I NEVER wear high heels. As a tall woman you learn to live without them.

I would think women at that height are likely going to find men shorter than them most of the time, thus, it is probably common for women at that height to be open at dating men of all heights really.

Don't you need to wear them from time to time or else you could forget how to wear heels? A special occasion might warrant heels?

Why?

I'm of the mindset of making folks learn to live with tall women wearing heels if they want to.

My wife is 4'11, by the way. I'm 5'11. Not that it matters, to me. It's kind of funny, though. She's that tall and 95 lbs. I'm a foot taller and built like a line backer.
Absolutely I have dated women taller than my 5'6 self. My personal preference, but not a deal-breaker like most women make height.

Tallest chick was was around 6'1 and I would totally do it again if the opportunity presented itself. She was a whole lotta fun! Big, bold, beautiful, boobalicious, curvyluptuous hotty left me for a guy shorter lol! No hard feelings though.

I really don't have much choice being a short guy. I would have missed out on some amazing women if I focused on ladies my height and shorter. The choice I do have ultimately is to not limit myself to the superficialities that are pertinent in the dating world. Besides, short ladies don't really look my way anyways. They are the ones who typically need their man to be taller than they are.

Tall women look sexy in the right pair of flats, especially sandals that compliment the dress or the outfit. All you really need if you're a tall woman IMO is nothing more higher than two inch heels.
