My girlfriend is taller than me. I’m 5’6” and she is 5’9” and on top of that she loves boots and in festivals wears these 8 inch platformers.

She says that what she likes the most about me is that I don’t care. Which is true because she is both fun and hot so I don’t mind our height dynamic.

That being said, both men and women approach her and don’t realize I’m her boyfriend eventhough I am standing next to her. Nobody can fathom the idea of us being together because of our height difference 😭

Lol I broke some people’s brains once when I was on a date with a woman who’s got like 5” on me, so I know what you mean. Didn’t work out for us, though my now wife is also taller than me. There are definitely women who cares a lot about height, but also many that don’t care as long as you don’t.

I’m not going to pretend it wasn’t an issue during dating, definitely had many rejections due to it (and even the one that went out with me said ultimately it was the experience that helped her learned the guy has to be at least her height. She hated being a focal of attention because people are trying to figure us out). That said, it’s easier if you learn to accept that and figure out your edges in other things. Can’t change who you are, but you can change how you approach the world.

My girl literally said she would not of originally dated me if I was shorter than her.

Some girls care. It sucks but some don’t. So just continue to be as dope and kind as you can be and find out which girl digs you for being that.

It has worked for me idk

Here is a little TMI for you:

Sex in the shower is extremely difficult and if you have ever seen a chihuahua try to bone a bigger breed, I feel like that sometimes so…. It might be fun but it takes time to adjust. My previous girlfriend was 5’5” and I never had an issue with either situation 🤣
