| Can’t Wear Heels Because Of His Height |
|
|
I think you should get over it. I'm almost three inches taller than my boyfriend (I'm nearly 6 feet tall) and he's the love of my life. I wore flats the first time I met any of his friends but otherwise, I wear what I like. I love high heeled shoes and only own 2 pairs of flats. I'm tall, people either get over it or move on. |

you have to embrace your height and when i say your height, i mean all of your height. When you wear flats,when your hair is a certain way, when you weaar heels, etc. some men find it extremely attractive and embrace a taller woman even if he is not shorter than you. if your man says he doesn't mind you having a couple of inches on him on our wedding day. Who cares. Wear 4 inch heels and embrace it and just enjoy your wedding. |

this is an interesting topic. particularly for me, as i'm engaged, and i'm deciding what shoes to wear to the wedding. i'm about three inches shorter than my fiancee, but i really want to wear heels. the problem is that i also want to be able to look up at him when we're dancing and i don't want to be taller than him in pictures. i know it sounds stupid--in fact, it *is* stupid--but i can't shake the idea that it'll feel wrong if we're the same height. and yeah, i could wear 2 inch heels, but his shoes will have a sole, and with my veil and flowers or whatever i have in my hair will add height... he doesn't care about this at all--i've asked him. and none of my friends are sympathetic either. and i do know it's silly, but i'm not sure what i want to do!!! |

It doesn't matter if its stupid. Its what you want. I think there are shoes out there you can find that will give you a little lift but still keep you short enough to look up at him. You could switch shoes halfway through the wedding. Have heels for the ceremony and flats for the reception so you can look up at him when you dance. Also, there are some beautiful flats out there my SIL had some gorgeous lace ones. Even though her mom flipped because she thought they looked "informal" ...moms.... |

This is the worst! I'm 5'7 (and a half, if you want to get technical) but I feel like a giant every where I go. Is it me, or are guys getting shorter? I thought I was average, but apparently I was wrong! I don't even look at high heels because I know I will tower over practically every guy I come in contact with. |

ya know, one of my bestest friends is 5'10" and her boyfriends have always been these short lil dudes. now some of them were so insecure with their height that they would pitch a fit if she wore even a slight heel on her shoe. However she has AMAZING LEGS and it killed me to see her not wear some beautiful pumps just because it damaged his ego... i say screw em! look beautiful and if that means wearing heels tell shortie to deal with it!!!!! |


He's 5' 10, you're 5' 9" and when you put on your sexy heels you tower over him. So, do you wear flats for the rest of your relationship? Do you care? Does he care? How do you handle it?
