I am fairly tall. At 5'7" and sporting my favourite Dune 'cum-fc*k-me' pumps I am almost six feet. As a younger woman I summarily dismissed any men I met who were less than about 5'11". As I grew older and realised that good men are hard to find I let go of that silly prejudice. Kinda. Last night I found myself coordinating an entire outfit around a cute pair of flats because I was going on a date with a guy who is about 5'7". He has never made a comment about my height and in fact I had on said 4 inch heels when we met, but I just can't stop feeling like Amazon woman when I am towering over a guy.
Vapid or reasonable?? (as I pull on some sexy stilettos and head out the door with a 6'4" friend ;)

Oh I don't like when they're short either but as you said good men are so darn hard to find it would be silly to rule one out because of height.
He still can't be shorter than me though. I like that 'safe' feeling when he's taller/bigger.
I am about 6 foot, so I would barely make it over the fence, huh? Interesting!
Wow. They make pumps like that? You've gotta let that go. Mr. Right could be Mr. Short. Anyway, you are coridally invited to my blogoversary celebration.
Me? I don't want a man shorter than me - and I want to be able to wear mega-heels and them still be taller. But as I am 5'3", it's never been too difficult for me to fill that requirement!
And afterall, my dad is shorter than my mum and they have been happily married for 32 years so I can't be too prejudiced!
A man needs to be tall enough/strong enough to carry you. Then again I am as petite as they come and wherever I go people attempt to pick me up. I saw compromise with 2 inch heels....
I'm 5'1". My husband is 6'1". You just feel more secure with a big, strong man. But the man for you could be shorter. You're doing the right thing to not count him out.
But when a man is close to my height, I can't help feeling like he's not finished growing yet.
height doesn't really matter. i wouldn't let a man's height stop me from wearing heels if i want to. i'm 5'7 and i've always wished i was at least 3 inches taller.
Poor me, just 5'8'' so I'm on the short side.
I love seing women in heels, especially those 'cum-fc*k-me'stilettos, it's so sexy!
I'm 5'3" and I agree, 5'7" is too short. I've always dated tall men, at least 5'11". I prefer taller.
Tall women give me grief for taking a tall guy when I could easily be with a much shorter guy who is still taller than me.
I don't think you're wrong for having a preference.
I like a short man. My height (5'4") but not shorter than me. I can protect myself, don't need no big tall man for dat! And just in case him form fool a himself and I need protection from him, I can drop kick him in a heartbeat!!!
Ok, so I won't really kick down a man but I like them short. The one really tall man I was with is the one I posted about in the Internet Hook Up ... and we all know how that went.
My current love is 5'8" and that's just fine for me. Not too short, not too tall. Just right. That wasn't the deciding factor though.
Lawd, I find as I gettng older, I gotta let go of those so-called standards, cuz the pickings are slim! Now, I am jus' hapy if they can spell!!
what are
'cum-fc*k-me pumps?
j/k
Those things are so dang uncfortable and I wind up not walking well in them so I just look stupid rather than sexy. I'm mostly leg so I don't balance well.
I'm 5' 8" and have been with men who were maybe an inch shorter than me, and others who were much taller.
The ideal height for me would be no more than 6ft.
If he 5' 6", that's ok. I rarely wear heals. Anyway, it's kinda nice towering over a man. Satisfies my need to be in control!!!
Probably not needed. He appears to be quite secure with being shorter. There are plenty people who deal with it very well. An ex of mine had the same complex as you, but she didn't realized how turned out it made me when she wore the heels. ;-)
People always give me funny looks when I talk about f*ck-me pumps...LOL...good to know I'm not alone.
Even at five-three-and-a-half (when you're short, you need that half), I still prefer guys over 5'10"...I dunno, call me superficial, but I feel more protected with a taller guy that I can get lost in his arms. But if you're hot and short, I can work with that. LOL.
My political science teacher says that Americans expect politicians to be tall.
