Dating a girl with 1 foot height difference
- Thread starter nightwatcher

Yup, honestly it's hard to take this forum seriously sometimes. The amount of "my uncle works at Nintendo" kind of rubbish you read on here is truly hilarious.
Last year, I had a good run of dating several tall woman 5-11 and on up. It's the long legs that get me. The shortest I've dated was 5-3. But on average they've been around 5-5 to 5-7. Nowadays I can't see myself with a shorty untrimmed lemon tree. For reference I'm 5-10.
I'm 6'7" and my wife is 4'11". We don't even notice our height difference most of the time to be honest. People sure do love pointing it out though!
My wife is about a foot shorter than me. She is the most incredible person I've ever met and has made me a happier, better person for over a decade. But you have a point OP, maybe I should call it off...!!!
It's fair enough if you have a hang up about it, but don't miss out on a good thing!

Yeah folks saying it isn't a big deal puzzle me. Where I'm at (south Texas) it's a huge deal for a lot of women, even the ones that are just shy of dwarfism. And it's not just about being taller than her, it's gotta be 6' or higher.
Of course guys don't give a shit about dating shorter. That's the social "norm."
My wife is 5' 3" , I am 6' 3".
Never thought we look weird. Nobody ever told us. And, of course, I never care.
Our kids are in the higher side for their ages.
Absolutely not important.

It's absolutely a "hangup". Like if you don't meet this arbitrary cutoff they're not going to talk to you. And it's not for any real practical reason. What's most hilarious is the 4'11 women demanding a 6' guy.
Most of the women I know prefer when the guy is much taller them, your Mom is wrong. Kinda thought this thread was about the opposite, I once went out with a girl much taller than me in high school, it was an definitely an interesting experience, she was about half a foot taller than me, don't remember why we stopped hanging out.
I'm always amused when people see couples with a noticeable height difference, the first thought is "wonder how they fuck"
I'm 6'2. From age 17 - 24 my longer-term relationships (more than a couple dates) were all 5'2" or shorter. One was 4'10". Meh, nobody cared. I end up marrying my wife who is 5'9" though, funny enough.
First thing my mom said when she met her was, "wow, you really are tall!"
Lol oh mom

It's a "big"/normal sized deal but it's not the end of the world. I'm between 5'6'' and 5'7''. I've never had too much trouble getting either dates/relationships or hookups. Not going to lie and say it wouldn't be easier if I was taller but again, it's not like I'm doomed to be alone forever because I don't meet society's requirements.
Disclaimer: I rarely date white girls and don't live in the South.
My husband is about a foot taller than me. Was kinda weird at first, but now it's nothing. You'll get over it.
I don't date guys taller than 6' because I don't like being dwarfed (5'3")
Edit: I come from a tall family that's also probably why I also don't like it.

I'm 6'3 and I dated a woman for three years who was 4'10. If it works, it works. I've never really found height to be an issue on either side.
I don't know what to tell you OP, it's a non-issue for pretty much everyone. I've seen so many short women on dating apps specify their own preference of 6 foot +.
The only social stigma is tall chick with shorter dude.
