Give Advice: Should Tall Girls Wear High Heels?
I have a new girlfriend who is quite tall. she is 5'7". I am kind of short for a guy. ok, i'm 5'1. Anyway, she is really fashionable and usually wears heels that make her look much taller even. I ask her why she needs to wear such high heels when she is tall already. she says she is not tall, she's just average and that many of her friends are taller than she is. I still say she is tall. so my question is, should tall girls wear high heels?

At 5'7" myself, I like to wear heels once and a while--but if my gent was shorter than me I wouldn't. Maybe bring it up with her and let her save the heels for going out with the girls.
On the other hand, it takes a confident man to have a taller woman and maybe its something worth learning to tolerate--you'll look secure and attractive!
Good luck!
Tall women in high heels is the worst bit of fashion I've seen in twenty years. I find tall women without high heels generally attractive, but to me a tall women in high heels is just ugly. They receive a lot of attention when wearing heels because they look like freaks. It's just so aesthetically unappealing to me that I don't see how anyone can find the look attractive or sexy. It seems similar to me as the ultra-thin look that comes into fashion every so often.
My answer to the question "should tall girls wear high heels?" is that they "should" wear whatever they like. I just think it makes for a very unattractive look. Specifically, I think it makes an otherwise attractive women look worse rather than better. But that's the way fashion works, viz. follow the leader.
That's where ur wrong
. Tall ladies look fabulous and attractive in heels.
...and jealousy is so much more attractive right?
and by the way, 5'7" is not tall for a woman.
I am 6' tall. My husband is 5'7". I am always going to be taller than him so if I decide to wear heels, I don't feel like it should matter. I just bought 5" leopard print heels from Aldo! Now I will be a super tall amazon woman. So what if it looks funny? Who said a man has to be taller than the woman anyway?
It's all about feeling secure in your body.
And, you rarely find sexy shoes in a low or no heel. You can't wear a dress and not dress it up with heels!
Ugh I'm so glad to hear alot of these replies b.c Im 5'8 and i LOVE HEELS i mean LOVE and im always buying the cutest pair of heels but ill get them and then be to insecure to wear them cuz i feel like i look like a giant haha but i keep thinking about models and stuff alot of models are really tall and they still wear heels lol HEELS are not for short girls tall girls can love and feel great in heels too! and i just love the them and i feel so much better hearing all these girls say they are tall and wear heels thank you :) i needed a confidence booster! lol
Dude---why are you foibing your insecurities off the your woman. I'm assuming shes the same height she was when you two met. Nothing is going to change any time soon so you might as well get used to the fact that shes taller than you.
YES! Im 5'8 and I love to wear heels, because I love to feel sexy. Think about it, everyone loves a tall girl. I feel like tall women wearing heels states "I'm not afraid to be sexy or the center of attention." Who would models be if they didnt wear heels? Just think of it as dating a model, and be honored. Dont ya think, you have some insecurities if you care about a womans height? You could be missing out on a potential soulmate.....
I am 5' 8" and I where heels when I go out...the guy I'm interested in now is 5' 9" so if I wear heels I'll be much taller...he says he doesn't mind...."he can climb trees" The guy just needs to be confident enough to handle a tall women. No woman wears heels to be taller...not even short women...they wear them to feel sexy and they enhance a hot outfit. So that would be why she needs to wear them...nothing to do with her height!lol
I think the real issue here isn't the shoes, but the fact that she's taller than you. It didn't bother you enough in the begining, but it's obviously an issue now.
As for your question, if she's happy wearing heels, who are you to argue with that. If it makes her feel confident, who are you to argue with that. If she looks gorgeous in them, who are you to argue with that.
actually, you should take the situation as an honor, feel like a celebrity. most guys would LOVE an opportunity standing next to an attractive tall woman, just remember, she is with YOU! what really matters are those intimate moments in which height is not an issue.
I've dated short men (I'm 5'7") and although I don't wear high heels (personal choice and wear only wear when I'm modeling or interviewing), such subject matter was never mentioned in conversation, there other interesting topics to discuss.
best to you!
The basic question: Should tall girls wear heels? Well, of course.Women in heels LOOK sexier.Wasn't looking sexy ONE of the reasons that you were attracted to her? AND...many women FEEL sexier in heels. Don't you want a woman that FEELS sexier? (hint,hint,--there ARE certain advantages to be had from a woman when she FEELS sexy). SOooo, OF COURSE tall girls should be able to wear heels. But, does that address YOUR dilemna? Me thinks not. Five ft 7in IS taller than the norm for women, but, is not abnormally tall. The average height of women in the United States is just under 5'5". I don't think averages play much into this dilemna either though. The basis of YOUR problem is that she is above average height, and YOU are very SIGNIFICANTLY below average height.Average height in the U.S. for men? 5'8-1/2" (How DID you guys ever get together?). Kinda reminds me of Dudley Moore and Susan Anton. I believe Dudley has since passed away but perhaps Susan MIGHT be willing to respond to a personal enquiry if you were to attempt to contact her. Input from ANY source could be helpful. How did things work out for them?(they DID seperate after several years---maybe it was the height?). Ooh, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were....uhm, naw, they didn't make it EITHER. I recall hearing that when Nicole split from Tom--she said, "Great, now I can wear heels again". I think that when MOST women break up with Tom Cruise....they ALWAYS mention something about HEELS. He's somewhat "elevation disadvantaged".
It would SEEM that if she really loved you(yeah, that's how you get them to do what you want, ha, that's how WOMEN get US to do what they want---"If you REALLY loved me") she'd have more compassion for your "situation" and would (wait a minute "SITUATION"---this IS really sounding quite hopeless) be willing to COMPROMISE. And YOU have to compromise. Switch OFF. On some days or in certain situations...she can wear heels, and other situations....YOU can wear the heels. Naw, I'm just KIDDING(who'd a thunk?), but I DO like spindrift's suggestion though. High heeled combat boots. Think she might catch YOUR drift?
All puns and humor aside(huh? what's the sense of LIVING if you can't make fun of everything?). Unless she's on some kind of POWER TRIP, AND, she doesn't enjoy making you feel small, it would seem that she would perhaps TONE down the heels just a little, perhaps she could even wear flats on occasion (I think flats DO look a bit sexy) and you could ....uhm...you could, uh....gee fella , if she went BAREFOOT all the time and YOU wore elevator shoes...She's STILL gonna be significantly taller than you.(btw, you didn't REALLY believe I was gonna get TOO serious did ya?). OK, here's the deal....Don't be so damn sensitive, and tell her to not to be so damn insensitive. And just try to spend LOTS of time off your feet--preferably....in bed.
I am 5'8 and wear heels anywhere from 3-5.5 inches. Which makes me over 6 feet when I wear them. I love it. Heels are sexy and make a sexy outfit that much better. I think you don't like the fact that she is taller then you even without heels, but with them it's even worse. It's ok though. The fact that your short obviously doesn't bother her or she wouldn't be with you. Don't sweat it. But yes - women of all heights should wear heels.
I am 5'10" tall and I love to wear heels. Why shouldn't tall women wear heels? I do feel more sexy in heels and I do get more looks when I have heels on. Sounds like you are intimidated by her height. I find that true a lot in my life too. I go from 5'10" tall to 6' with heels and some men find that very intimidating.
Yes! Because it makes a girl's posture much more provocative, no matter how tall she is. And most women have told me that they feel so much more sexy when they wear heels. High heels alone can make a woman go from a 6 to an 8 or 9, just like that! Maybe it's just because I've gotten used to dating women who always wear heels, but I just love it. Absolutely love high heels.
If you feel intimidated, you can always get yourself some platform boots and insoles to make yourself taller. Two can play at that game. And your gf is right - depending on ethnicity - but 5'7" is not unusually tall. However, 5'1" is pretty short for a guy. But all you can do is make the best of the genetic cards you were dealt. IMO being a short guy is preferable to being fat, for instance.
