    Just wondering... how many dudes here are the exact same height as their girlfriend? I'm asking because, i am in love with this girl, but I think she is hesitant to like me because I'm not at her ideal height for a boyfriend. We are the exact height I think. Dudes who are the same height as their gf here... do you ever feel insecure? like ever think your girl wants a taller guy? thanks...

    My ex-g/f was taller than me (she was almost 6 feet tall) and it didn't bother me one bit. If the girl is hesitant because of your height, then she's not worth your time.

    My dream woman is either 6'4 or 3'9 ;)

    That should not be a problem.

    My Brother inlaw is the same high as my sister and they have been together for 10yrs. the are both 5'6" One of my best friends is 5' 2" and his wife is 5'3" and the have been together for about 7yrs. you dont really see that she is taller then him untill she ups on heels.

    Just be confident when you are around her and she will see that it is not a problem.

    If a girl is hesitant to like you because of your height, then it is probably time to get a new girlfriend. Seems too superficial to me.

    My wife is an inch or two taller than me; when we met, I was about 1/2 an inch taller, but she continued growing - granted I'm a pretty short guy anyway, but it doesn't pose any issues.

    It's not the height of the girl, it's the girl in the girl. When you rumble in the sack, who cares about height? If she's a babe and you're strolling down the boulevard, the guys who see you will be just a jealous as if she were 3 inches shorter. Besides, some chicks will say it's not the height of the guy, but the length of the guy that hits them where they live.

    Just ask her... can you see the real me?

    The last girl I dated was 6'4 and it was awkward at first, especially with the looks you two get in public. But, I got over it. I'm 5'11-6'0 and it WAS a little weird that she had to bend over a little to give me a kiss.

    My current girlfriend is about the same height as me, maybe an inch shorter, and it doesn't matter at all. Tall or short, she is great and she doesn't even think of the height similarity either. Once in a while, only out of her consideration for me, she'll think twice about what heels to put on, but it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, those long legs.... hummana, hummana!

    If height is an issue, then I'll agree with those before me, she may not be the girl for you as she sounds too superficial and/or too close-minded.

    My wife is a few inches taller than I am. I think it bothered her a bit when we first met, but she quickly got over it. We've been married over 7 years now, and our kids are going to be tall. This bodes well for my long-running wish of having a son play for the Rockets.

    Sometimes I'm surprised at how shallow people are regarding this sort of thing. I've never dated a girl who was taller than me but most of the girls I have dated have been within an inch or two of my height (5'9"). I never saw it as a problem but I regularly heard comments from people about how the girl was too tall for me or that people expected to see me with a 5'2" girl. I'm sure my girlfriend(s) heard similar comments.

    When I was single quiet a few of the ladies at work wanted to fix me up with friends or relatives but again I heard "she is perfect for you. she is only 5'" or "she won't work with you because she is as tall as you."

    I say it's too damn hard finding someone you are compatible with in all the necessary ways to make a long term relationship work. Why add more criteria by screening out people due to their height?

    I am 6'1" and my girlfriend is 5'11". She is 6'1" or 6'2" whenever she wears heels. It doesn't bother me at all. She feels a bit awkward when she's wearing her 6'2" heels - but I really couldn't care less.
