Wow, all these thoughtful replies and not one “enormous schwanzstucker” joke? I guess women really are classier than men.
Ahh, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found you!
Semi-serious now. I know you didn’t ask men this question, but I’ll chime in anyway. I’m tallish and I’ve never dated anyone taller than me. I think it could make me feel insecure, but if he were very sweet and gentle I could probably get over it. In any case, if I fell for him for emotional reasons, size (large or small) wouldn’t be a barrier.

Tall guys freak me out. All my serious boyfriends have been my height or shorter and my husband is 1.5 inches shorter than me. I like short guys.
Plus, I would have to wonder how huge his penis was. Because like the first poster said, large penises are painful. Sex would be a scary prospect with a large peen.
BTW I am 5’9" and usually about 200lbs when not pregnant. Just to give you an idea of the relative size difference of the hypothetical man giant and myself. He would make me feel small, so that may be a plus in his favor.
True story, half way (being, 60-90 minutes) into a first date I was asked, with a worried look in her eye “Ok, not to be crude…but is ‘it’ proportional?”
Fortunately for me, I’m only in the 99.9th %-ile when it comes to height.
It would really depend on the personality and the intellect attached. If those were positive enough, I’m sure I could deal with the height. And hey, I’d finally get to wear those 5-inch heels and not feel all weird about being 6-3.
My husband is 6’6", and I don’t even think of him as tall anymore. Everyone else is really short tho…
I think it could be interesting. I would be attracted, yes. Like someone said upthread, it’s nice to be “dainty” in comparison to someone, and as a rather tall and decently-weighted woman, I don’t end up “dainty” much in normal life.
The personality would have to be a match, I’d prefer a lean swimmer’s build rather than someone built like the Hulk, and he’d have to have a pretty/handsome face as well.
All that a go, then it would depend on his attitudes towards sex - if he was ok with being gentle (and probably a lot of alternative positions and activities), then sure! If not, then sadly, it wouldn’t work out, because if everything’s proportionate, that’s most likely not actually physically going to work.
It’d almost certainly be a deal breaker for me. I strongly prefer men around my height. I like to look them in the eye and kiss without tip toes. Very tall men throw off my sense of scale and make me a little uncomfortable.
My husband’s almost a foot taller than I am, and very muscular (not gym-cut, just naturally beefy), and I love it. The only problems are dancing is awkward, and the bastard constantly puts stuff away on shelves that are “within easy reach” by his standards, but make me feel like a dwarf T-Rex trying to reach them.
I’m mostly bothered about personality, but I admit I do really like tall. Tall and lanky, tall and muscly, doesn’t matter.
I have two friends who are 6’8", and a few inches on that certainly wouldn’t bother me.
Shortest man I’ve been with was about 5’2". Tallest 6’6". (I’m 5’6", perfectly average for a US woman.) Their heights were the least interesting things about them, except that it was nice the tallest could reach things in the back of the tallest cupboard without having to find a stool. I bet he got really tired of being asked to, though.
Personality is my attractant. My only physical turn off is extreme muscleyness, and if all else was perfect, I’d probably get over it pretty damn quick.
I’m 5’3" and prefer men around 6’ tall. I’ve dated as tall as 6’6" and I found it awkward and didn’t really like it being easier to talk to his navel than to his face. I’d prefer 6’2" or under I think.
There is a Swiss guy in my professional networking chapter that is about 6’7". I could definitely make an exception for him. He is a hottie with glasses, Raven black hair, and an awesome Swiss accent. However, we are both married so not an option.
I’m short, so everyone I’ve dated has always been tall. My husband is a ft + 1/2 taller than me. Only issue we’ve had is he couldn’t drive my Miata. I couldn’t reach the pedals in his truck. We fit together nicely in every other way. And big guys always make me feel protected and taken care of.
I recently met a guy who’s 7’3", and I was VERY attracted to him. But I have to say, the OP’s description was a total turn-off to me. The only part I agreed with was his height; the other characteristics were not what I’m attracted to.
I should add that my partner is 6’10". He loved meeting someone 5" taller.
Joel “Big Bird” Garner (same height as you) was asked a similar question by a female fan. He just gave her a lazy Caribbean smile and said “Lady, if it was, I’d be eight foot six”.
A seven-foot man would only have a seven-inch schlong if things were in proportion. I’m sure people could cope.
