Turning men down because of their short stature may make you a "heightist."
Like everyone else, I watched Jeff Wong and Erin Martin's totally over-the-top save-the-date wedding video. Like many others, I noticed that the bride-to-be is taller than her groom-to-be. How much taller? Significantly. At least four inches, I think. Maybe six. As I've written about here before, I'm tall (6'1") and dating a tall woman has its own unique challenges. But the fact of the matter is that, for the most part, I go out with guys my height or taller. The shortest guy I ever went out with? 5'10". The tallest? 6'6". Lately, I've been wondering, does that make me … Read More
Height difference? Advice for dating a tall woman.
I'm tall. I mean, I'm really tall. And I don't mean 5'10" tall. I'm 6'1". That's ridiculously tall. Kermit the Frog once said: "It's not easy being green." Well, it's not easy being a tall woman, either. Among the more common pickup lines we tall ladies hear: "Do you play basketball?" (No.) "What's the weather like up there?" (Icy.) "I'd like to climb you." (Really, I'd rather you wouldn't.) While some women think being tall is something worth writing a book about, other women perceive it to be a disability equivalent to a clubfoot. Mostly, it's a blessing and a … Read More

Famous couples aside, some women won't date "down" when it comes to a man's height.
Blame it on Jimmy Choo. More and more women are towering over their male counterparts these days.
While the average height for a man ranges between 5'8" and 5'11", popular high heel styles are stacked at 3, 4 and even 5 inches which means that if you're a stylish single woman on the prowl, chances are you might be looking down at your next date. Read: Tall Girl in Love

Some men have a fetish for a larger than life lady, and enjoy a little Amazon woman manhandling.
For every woman who hesitates before slipping on 5-inch heels: "What if I'm taller than most men?" take heed that in some circles you wouldn't be big enough. For some guys—who are many times diminutive in stature themselves—if a lady is under six-feet and weighs less than 220 pounds, he's completely uninterested.
Refreshing, right?
South Florida-based Amazon woman Mikayla Miles, a six-foot-four inch, 220-pound, steely body-builder type, capitalizes on her physique by charging men $500 an hour for some Amazon woman rough play. But don't confuse her pricey sessions with prostitution—Miles never sleeps with her clients and doesn't … Read More
Confidence was the thing keeping her from dating and loving heels.
I've always been tall. At 16, I topped out at 5'11". An inch shy of six feet, I was told I had two occupational choices: modeling or basketball. I chose neither, mostly out of spite.
In my mind, tall equaled big. I longed to be petite. Adjectives that were supposed to define girls, like "dainty" or "cute," don't seem to coexist with "tall." And in fairy tales, the princess never towers over her hero. He has to be able to scoop her up onto his white stallion to save her from the foul dragon. While other girls were looking up … Read More
One (vertically challenged) writer comes up short in the romance department.
There's no lack of short relationships with men, you just don't see a lot of short men in relationships. Whether it is ultimately natural selection at work or just an inability to spot smaller men in a crowd is anyone's guess. You'll find dozens of couples every day at the Big & Tall. But there aren't a lot of wedding registries in the children's department of Barneys. On the dating rack, people are extra-large in love with no room left for the little guy.
Fairfield, CT. 1993. My first formal dance, I'm scuffling along in shoes meant for a Clydesdale. … Read More
