I once had a fling with a guy 30 cm (about 12") shorter than me. In the end it didn't work out. Lots of other reasons, but this was one of them (I keep telling myself).
I am 191cm (6"2') and my husband is a bit taller, 198 (6"4'). Being the shorter guy in a relationship is more than just a number. I have to lift my heels to kiss him, I always feel shorter and the taller one automatically is the protector for me. Is that really true? Does height have that influence on me? Or is Peter more protective because of who he is?
I am asking you, my readers: Do you mind a difference in height between you and your partner? And what does this mean to you? Discuss and please fill in the form on the upper right corner of this blog. I am curious about your opinion!

Yeah, I was the first one to vote!!! Hubby is a few inches shorter than me and it's never been an issue.
The one that I have love the most was 13 cm taller than me and that didn't make any difference. Perhaps from outside it seems that two persons with a big difference in height (or weight) are not a good couple, but... who decides it?
By the way, what a beautiful song "high flying adored". Now I want to listen to it ;)
Hugs! Ed.
I am short as these things go... 5'4"
Every guy I have been with has been taller. It's not been a big problem
But I'd really like a guy who was my height. I don't want to stand on tip-toe to kiss him.
(I said 'yes' I want a shorter guy in the poll but really I just want someone my own heighht)
My first love was 5'8"(173cm) and I am 6'1 (185) and I loved it. I liked being the taller one. Having said that, it doesn't really matter to me. I've admired both taller and shorter than myself.
I never really thought about it until just now. As I remember back to my more special relationships my guys were usually about the same height as I am.
I've never had a boyfriend who was shorter than I am. The last one (I still call him the love of my life) was exact my height (1.85). Had one of 2 meters for a very short time and I don't remember making a problem about it. I feel attracted to short and tall guys, it really doesn't matter to me, as long as they are sexy and handsome. In fact, there's a guy walking around at school who is little, and just because of that he is very attractive to me, he has a very manly face.
Hmmm, all the men I have dated in the past were shorter than me. For the Dutch people I would say that I have a quit average (1.79) length.
I know when I was at the age of 13 I really thought it was a problem and in that time I was always much! taller than all the boys. A typical heterosexual male like to be seen as the "protector" of the girl…… I have grown not to like "typical" heterosexuals....
Since 2 years however, I have found the love of my life: he has exact the same length! What does this mean in real life? I am a typical girl who wants to wear high heels, so therefore I am still taller. But in the house, in bed: we are twins. And never thought so, but that feels gooood! (really, think of all the positions in bed and how much more easy if you are the same)
My boyfriend thinks it's really hot and he only dated really short (1.65) women in the past. I am his first! Now that's something! ;-)
So Sorry Daan, but I am not able to vote, because having the same length is not an option in your voting system, tssssssk
I must say that for me also it doesn't really matter. Maybe that it's most practical to have someone around my own height. And at the moment that is just the case. :-) I am the 4 cm taller one.
As I think of it, with all other relationships I've had, this was the same case... Maybe I selected them unconciously to be a bit shorter? Well I still have the feeling it's not really an issue for me.
I've always wanted to know what it feels like to be the shorter one, i'm just over 6ft tall and have always been the taller one in a relationship. It would be cool to be the one that has to look up for the kiss instead of always looking down. I don't like the guy being a whole lot shorter than me otherwise i feel like the friendly giant.
I'm not sure it's the same for non same-sex couples. In my opinion (highly traditional for once) it's best if the woman is shorter. I am quite tall myself (176 cm) and my boy is a lot taller (197 cm) and that's really how I like it. I always feel sorta stupid when I'm bigger than a guy.. just feels wrong for me.
Of course this is highly personal, it's just that for me it's best if the guy is taller.
I want him a shade shorter and at the very least a decade and a half younger than I am, so he's like a son.
@vilges: but a decade and a half younger makes you a young dad! :)
At LEAST a decade and a half! I have been deeply in lust with a boy 30 years younger than me for the last five years but he has no idea how I feel and I am not daft enough to imagine it would be requited. So I allow some wiggle room...
