How large is the height difference between you and your partner?

I’m pretty sure that’s 13".

(first time I’ve said that to a guy :p)

I’m 6-2 and I’ve dated guys as short as 5-3. I’ve only dated two guys taller than me. I called them my “kiss up” boyfriends.

Occasionally I see very tall guys with very short women and for some reason I immediately think of my ring and pinky fingers.

I’m 5’5" - very average for a woman - and he’s six feet even.

My wife is 5’4" and I’m 6’2". We’ve found that if she stands a stair or two higher than me, we’re at perfect kissing height. :smiley:

Oddly enough, my oldest sister is exactly the same height as my wife, and her husband is exactly as tall as me.

I’m 5’6", just an inch taller than my wife. So if she’s wearing heels and tall hair, she’s a couple inches taller. Went out on a date with a woman who was over six feet. It made her more uncomfortable than me. When you’re my height, you come to the realization that lots of people will be taller than you, so you get used to it.

Of course I get my revenge against the tall society on airplanes. That midget grinning at you from first class or the exit row while you’re squished in your seat could be me.

I’m 5’10" and my SO is 5’8". It works just fine for me. I used to date a guy who was around 6’4". I didn’t much care feeling like a midget.

I’m 6’3". My Wife might be 5’2". Doesn’t seem to bother either of us. Though I am called on to do all the ‘tall’ tasks.

I can easily rest my chin on top of her head, and once by mistake rested my chin on top of the head of a stranger thinking it was my Wife. Gave her, and her husband who was watching, a bit of a fright.:smiley:

This is similar to my situation, as I’m just under 5’10" and my husband is between 5’7" and 5’8". The thing I like about this height difference is that we’re pretty close to being even, and it’s cozy for me. I don’t have to stand up on my toes or bend over to kiss or hug him, and I can look him in the eye without looking anywhere but straight forward.

I’ve dated guys who were above 6’0", and after a certain height, it was a little annoying for me to crane my neck to look up at them-- I don’t think I could’ve handled dating someone 6’5" or taller. Conversely, I think I’d probably have issues with anyone who was 5’5" or shorter.

:smack:

13" indeed :smiley:

Her sister is an inch shorter and a bit rounder, so she looks like she could be my daughter.

Some years ago we went on a coast-to-coast road trip with my sister-in-law and her child. As we crossed the USA, we stopped in dozens of hotels and restaurants. On multiple occasions they offered us two children’s menus. I never did tell them that they were offering a child’s menu to a forty-year-old woman.

My first wife was 4’9" and I was 6’2" when we first dated in HS and eventually married (though she grew a couple more inches and I peaked at 6’3").

We always got the comments while slow dancing, kissing, etc… Not a big deal. As discussed in the other thread, differences in sexual positions are minor really. You don’t notice those details, since you workaround & have fun with the activity anyway.

My 2nd wife (now of 15 years) is 5’10" and I’m 6’3" and I now realize how much I was missing. I like the feel of a full-sized woman :wink: when hugging, spooning in bed, etc. But we have an exponentially stronger relationship, both emotional and physical, than my first.

I also wasn’t aware, until my wife explained, how intense & pervasive was the “leave the tall men for us tall women” attitude. It’s difficult for them to find men who are OK with their height and also the inherent need to feel feminine & protected by being in the arms of a larger/taller man.

Yeah, but what’s your height difference?

I’m 5’2" or 5’3" depending on who measures, and I’ve never dated anyone under 6’ tall. The tallest I ever dated was 6’7". My husband is 6’. I think it would feel really weird to be close in height to my partner. Being able to put on heels and be taller than my partner? Too weird for words. I like the big height difference. It feels right.

Bloody hell! No point in asking you how you first noticed him…

Six-three me; four-eleven her.

(She says she’s 5 even. I have sometimes been measured at 6-2. Either way, it’s a big difference.)

It’s nice when I am coming up the stairs just as she is coming down.

Just remembered the difference in my sister and her husband. She’s 5’1, and he’s 6’6. She practically has to stand on a chair to kiss him.

Half-foot difference.

Me: 6’ even.
Wife: 5’6"

Seven inches difference between me and my SO. I’d like to be about four inches taller - it’s so much more comfortable to kiss him when I’m standing on a step! Plus, I’d just like to be taller in general. I’d like to be able to look the men I work with in the eye.

Six inches almost exactly; I’m just shy of six feet, she’s just shy of 5’6". She’s among the shorter of women I’ve been involved with, though I’ve never been with anyone of my height or taller. I wouldn’t mind dating someone taller, but it’s never come up.

When I was dating the 6’7" guy, I frequently would kiss him while standing on a stool.

I’m 5’5" and SuburbanPlankton is 6’1". So 8 inches is pretty nocticeable, but not awkward.
