It is funny, though, I have always been drawn to the same build, stocky and on the shorter side. I dated other builds but the ones that stuck were these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband/page/2#post-1156060 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 23:47:43 +0000 Carla 1156060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Height IS a topic in our household. DH is 6ft 2, and DS's #1 and #2 are 6ft 4+ and 6ft 3 respectively. The men run on the slim side as well. I've never felt 'dainty' since even though tall, DH was so very slim! (Still slim, but not AS slim, now!). At 5ft 7+ I feel stumpy in low heels around the guys, but my fussy feet prefer a lower heel height. For social situations I get out the heels! Much easier to dance....</p> <p>I did gravitate towards tall slender guys, but once dated a guy my height. He was easy to dance with, and to kiss standing up. He liked it when I wore heels! I also dated a guy who was a 'bigger' guy. He was incredibly nice to me, and very sexy! We were young, and still experimenting, so didn't date long. I sometimes wonder what lucky woman snagged him!</p> <p>No issues with height difference in couples, though some of the extreme differences look a little off. More important things than height and weight for a couple to be compatible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband/page/2#post-1156036 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 22:42:09 +0000 Echo 1156036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never consciously considered height a requirement, but I've never been attracted to shorter men, either. I've always had a definite "type", which was pointed out to &nbsp;me by friends because I had not recognized it myself. My DH is 6'8" and I am about 5'3". Before I was married, I rarely dated a man under 6'3", although I never felt that I had rejected anyone due to their height (perhaps I did and didn't realize that stature played any part in it).</p> <p>However, I do not think that a woman being taller than her partner is odd or unusual at all. When DH and I were out for NYE once, there was a man with a woman who was easily 8" or more taller than he was, and he wasn't short. She was well over 6' without shoes, and she was wearing some killer heels. She looked gorgeous, and they looked fabulous together. I admired the confidence they both rocked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband/page/2#post-1156011 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 21:59:17 +0000 Anonymous 1156011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore 3+" heels to my senior prom and was on top of the world because of it. My date was 6'3, I hit 5'10" by the age of 14. But then we showed up at the dance and all people could talk about was how tall Kevin and I looked. Granted it didn't help that we both were string beans with no meat on us. Ugh. I had worn flats to every single dance before this, so it was a big ego hit. It is a bit weird how uncomfortable I am with towering over people. My mom is also 5'10" and wore 2-3" heels with her business suits, making her eye to eye with my dad. She has always had the best posture and confidence in heels.<br /> My DH is 6' but not a very big guy, maybe 165# wet. I wear heels on occasion but not often and have to give myself a little pep talk that it is OK to be taller than everyone else. The thing that drives my nuts is that it is nearly impossible to find fun, fashion forward, interesting heels that are under 3". Given the limit supply, fit issues, just not the right style color I need, my options are very restricted. OK - a bit of a rant. When I see tall women rocking sky high heels I am in awe! I just have to take my 6'+ moments in small doses, preferably with my DH at my side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband/page/2#post-1155953 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:42:05 +0000 Greyscale 1155953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My SO is on the short side for a guy,&nbsp;about three inches taller than me, so I can get to&nbsp;his height with heels. I never really think about it. I know he's been attracted to women taller, shorter, wider, and narrower than himself, and I love that he's so non-judgmental about women's bodies.</p> <p>The men in my family are all around the same height as my SO and my brother's wife is just barely taller than him. I can't remember if she wore heels to their wedding but they make such an attractive and elegant couple with her tall dancer's frame.</p> <p>Someone commented upthread that they couldn't see why a very tall woman would want to add height with heels. I doubt most of us of any height wear heels just because they make us taller. I wear heels (rarely) because they are sexy, because they are interesting pieces of wearable art, because I like how they make me feel. Height might be part of that but it's far from the whole story, and why should a tall woman feel any differently about it than I do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-1155937 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:22:22 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1155937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never had this hangup and honestly feel that it is just as shallow as the physical filters men want to sift us through. But it is probably just women internalizing the male ego filter that demands no woman ever make *him* look whatever he decides is less-than. (I feel the same way about women making more money than men. Would people please grow the heck UP and stop demanding that women shrink so that men can feel artificially better? This kind of BS makes me so angry.) Admittedly, at barely 5'2", though, I've never had to consider a guy anywhere near as height-challenged as I, so I can't *actually* say I know what's it's like to umm...walk in taller womens' shoes.</p> <p>I've dated guys up to 6'2" though, and personally...I don't like such a height difference. To me it is physically uncomfortable. (My poor neck!) My husband (he's my second...previous one was 5'11") is 5'6"--and unlike many, I'm sure, I absolutely love that he's right where I can reach him, LOL. Like he's made just for me. And, I agree with HelenInCanada that so many truly wonderful men have been passed up because they weren't tall. I do think the prejudice probably played a big role in my honey's availability at the time we met. Oh well then, lucky me! Think about it from his perspective--many, many women would be "too tall" for him if this silliness were followed across the board. Has he dated taller women? Yes indeed. He never cared about that and didn't let it limit <i>him</i>.</p> <p>We know a couple where the woman is at least a head taller than the guy. They sure don't give a hoot, and neither does anyone else, including their born-last-year daughter.</p> <p>As for heels, though, from my perspective *down here*, heh, I can't say that they're about height for me. I am never going to have any--even with your standard 3" high heel I'm not even out of the petite department. Though I'm technically closer to my husband's height in heels, he has absolutely no neurosis about the whole thing. He's a gem.</p> <p>Finally...someone mentioned wanting to be shorter than her physician. I've never heard that one before, but here's something: my previous physician...was a little person. Yes, she is a dwarf. For little me, it was a whole new experience to be that much taller than another adult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-1155594 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 05:57:21 +0000 rachylou 1155594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it <i>looks </i>fine.

Indians has a mindset of having wife lower than husband...but we don't find any problem. my wife often wear heel (1inch to 3inch)&nbsp;and look very tall and beautiful to me... I admire her all the time and try to hold her all the time when I get chance... seeing me admiring her beauty with tall height, she feels happy too...<br />In India I was receiving command that I am a lucky guy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-534011 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:56:21 +0000 goldenpig 534011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5'5" and DH is 5'6". I happily wear heels with him and sometimes he makes comments about my height, but in general he is a good sport about it. Though he hates the fact that taller men automatically get more respect in society. He worries that our son is going to be short (he's on the smaller end of the growth curve). It's so silly. Height has nothing to do with personality, how kind you are and what kind of spouse you would make. I hope people can start to move away from outdated ideas like taller is better.</p> <p>Kimana--love your pic--you two are adorable together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-534009 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:55:20 +0000 morethanbeige 534009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 5' 3" and have dated men about my height. I never paid any attention to height. I fell for the person. My husband is 6' 4" and, like AG, I am always shocked to look at pictures of us. Because I think we are about the same height and then in pictures we look so different. Every now and then hubs and I tease that we are breathing different air because of the height difference. I am especially jealous when we are in a crowd and he is breathing nice clean air above the masses. He gets the dishes out of the top cupboards and I can crawl down low to get a dish behind something. We figure we've got it covered..both high and low. haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533977 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:39:13 +0000 Amy 533977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nowadays, I think anything goes as far as couples and heights go. Older generations may cling to those old notions, but I hope a few inches or a certain shape doesn't interfere with two people who love one another.</p> <p>I also hope that taller gals will stand up tall and wear high heeled shoes if they want to. I'm the shortest person in my family--and I'm by no means short. My mother is a very tall lady and developed terrible posture in her teens because she wanted to be dainty like her friends and shorter than the boys she dated. Thinking about that makes me sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533935 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:00:14 +0000 marianna 533935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kimana, thank you SO much for sharing. My fiancé and I have the same exact height difference as you and your husband and it still bothers me at times, although less so recently. I don't feel taller than him when we're together, but seeing pictures, or us standing together in a mirror, bothers me because I am so much taller. I know I need to get over it, and seeing your picture has truly helped. Thank you!</p> <p>For the record, I never wear heels, and especially not around him! I plan to wear flats to our upcoming wedding. I truly don't want to tower over him THAT much. (See how insecure I am about it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533929 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:52:17 +0000 Queen Mum 533929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's a moot point for me. All the men in my house save my 15 year old are 6 ft tall. I'd have to wear 6 inch heels to compete and that's not going to happen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533910 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:40:48 +0000 Angie 533910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I truly think that those days are over.

It all works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533860 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:44:05 +0000 Sona 533860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great discussion ladies. I personally am very comfortable looking an inch or two taller than my husband when I do wear the occasional higher than 2 inch heel. It even makes me feel strangely sexy. But I *feel* as though others look at us strangely.<br /> It is interesting to see that universally most of us 'expected' to date men taller than us even if we ended up dating/marrying men that were shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533315 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:09:32 +0000 crazyone 533315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am only 5 ft 3, so admittedly I don't find it attractive when a guy is my height or shorter (but this is a fairly rare occurrence), but otherwise I am fairly height-blind. Most of the guys I've been seriously attracted to have been of average or even slightly below-average height. While I don't find women wanting taller men that odd (it's no different than any looks-based preference, it can be shallow but it's also very human to be attracted to physical characteristics, and there is generally a sexual dimorphism in height), I do find it odd when very petite women (5 ft 2 and below) talk about being unwilling to date men below 6 feet tall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533298 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:52:45 +0000 MsMaven 533298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha. Have you taken a look at photos of George Clooney and his latest girlfriend? I have a story similar to Kimana's. I am 5'8 1/2 and he is just over 5'5. When we met I thought he was cute and fun, but "too short for me." This despite having dated several guys my height or shorter when I was in college. He thought I was too tall despite his having dated taller girls.</p> <p>So we became good friends. We got to know each other and it became obvious that we had a lot in common, and one day we realized we were madly in love. We decided to enjoy defying society's expectations.</p> <p>Funny thing is that one of my grandmothers was 5' 8 1/2 and grandpa was 5'6". I have a funny photo of them together--he is standing on a step behind her so they look the same.</p> <p>I used to wear up to mid-heels, maybe 3" or a little more. He gave elevator shoes a try. Most of the time it didn't bother us, although I think it bothered my mother. It would be better for dancing if we matched up, but we've learned to deal with it. Now I find it difficult to wear shoes more that 1 1/2 inches.</p> <p>Funny thing is that most people don't even notice this. I've had people tell me they never noticed the height difference until I mentioned it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533280 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:35:38 +0000 Jjsloane 533280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Guilty as well. It's not something I specifically sought out but I have to shallowly admit I'm glad I'm 5'8" and DH is 6'2". I have dated shorter (ok my height) men seriously and it was not an issue for me, but it was for them. I don't think anything of it in other couples unless it's really a big difference either way, but again, not my business.<br /> Lovely story by kimana. Pretty much sums it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533275 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:30:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 533275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am actually an inch taller than my husband- at 5 ft 5 inches. Yes, he's the size of (the artist formerly known as) Prince. It's not an issue for me- I still wear as much of a heel as I ever did and I just don't think about it. It doesn't bother him if I wear heels, and people always tell us we are so perfect together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533272 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:27:49 +0000 nicoleb 533272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just shy of 5'6" and i *think* my husband is 5'7"....when he dated me i wore super high heels and i still wear super high heels...it's never bothered either one of us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533271 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:27:16 +0000 catgirl 533271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is funny because my husband is 13 inches taller than me. I never think of myself as that much shorter than him - it's always a total shock to me in photos. My very bossy aunt informed me that the ideal height difference is 6" with the woman in heels (she found my cousin a wife based on this measurement). I told her I was never going to wear 7" heels and that she'd have to kneecap my husband if she wanted us to be ideal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533268 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:24:09 +0000 HelenInCanada 533268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a lot of great men have unfortunately been passed up because of height! (Really? He's everything you want except he's not 6 feet? Geesh.) I think it's natural, though, to prefer - rather than demand - him to be taller than yourself. This is easy when you're a 5'0 woman, not so much when you're a 5'11 / 6ft woman! </p> <p>I'm a shortie (5'3) and my SO is 6'1, so if I wanted to I could be a stiletto-wearing mama and not have an issue. I will admit I look twice at couples where the woman is significantly taller, but that's not a big deal. (And yes, Katie Holmes looks a little gangly next to Tom Cruise, but I highly doubt she loses sleep over it!) So you stand out as a couple. As long as the relationship is happy and respectful, height becomes a non-issue. (Jokes about how rich a short man has to be, etc. abound. Tasteless!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533177 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:04:14 +0000 Mochi 533177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may be weird, but I actually get what elisabeth's friend is saying: she's already 5'11"--why would she want to be any taller? I guess I just don't get why really tall women want to look even taller, no matter how pretty the shoe itself may be. Angie has no qualms about saying that short women (if they want to look their best) should not wear flats with skirts, for example--if that gets to be a fashion "rule", I would hope there would be some similar recommendation to keep really tall women from towering over everyone else in four-inch spike heels. </p> <p>The height and husband discrepancy was never an issue with me (hubs is 5'5", but I'm 5'3" and not into heels). I have, however, heard many other women talk about this, and am somewhat astounded--for example, once in a while for fun I used to browse through craigslist dating posts that women put up. There were so many women who only wanted to date men over a certain height (like 6'2" or similar) so that they could wear heels. Wha???</p> <p>I actually get annoyed over this one....to me it's like the equivalent of men only wanting to date women size 4 or under (and we know there are guys out there who think this way). I expect women to be BETTER than that...and unfortunately, I don't always see it to be that way. </p> <p>The whole height thing is just so bizarre... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533146 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:26:45 +0000 rae 533146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kimana517, I love your story and your adorable pic!</p> <p>Sona, I have had this feeling, too, although I'm more like Claire and just wanted to feel dainty. I know I am not very tall, but I was very muscular when I was younger and didn't want to feel like She-Hulk next to a date. Lo and behold, my hubs is a wiry rocker type and not at all into building up big muscles - I still feel very aware of my weight for personal reasons, but it's not like I wish I had married someone taller/bigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533141 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:20:32 +0000 Anonymous 533141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kimana, that's a great story! I agree, nothing is hotter than that kind of confidence! You two are adorable.</p> <p>What Claire said really resonanted with me...it's not about how tall he is, it's my insecurity. His height makes me feel dainty. Sad but true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533140 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:19:54 +0000 Aziraphale 533140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being 5'1" in my stocking feet, this has never been a personal issue, but I have several tall friends for whom it is. </p> <p>I have an interesting story about one of my very dear friends who NEVER wears heels higher than an inch or two. This woman is an ex-model, heartbreakingly beautiful inside and out, with cascading blond hair and slender, shapely legs that go on and on and on. She would look stunning in high heels, but we've had long conversations about the hangup she has when it comes to height. She said she's always felt like a freak, and heels make it worse. She is 5'11", and her husband is 6'2". Last summer she and I were ogling shoes online together, and many times she said, "Sigh...if only those had a lower heel." I said even a three-inch heel would make you only as tall as your husband, so why don't you go for it? She looked at me and said, "OK, I know this is impossible, but suppose there were a shoe that would make you SHORTER than you are....would you wear it?". Ah. Point taken.</p> <p>So I think the answer is probably somewhere along these lines: for exceptionally tall women, wearing heels that make you taller than your husband is psychologically uncomfortable. For mid-height women, it's likely less of an issue. </p> <p>For me personally, I don't think it looks odd unless the woman TOWERS over the man -- and even so, I wouldn't have an issue with it. Love is blind. Everyone's got a right to fall in love with whomever they fall in love with, and height doesn't matter any more than race, sex or religion. And everyone woman has a right to wear towering heels if she so desires, regardless if it makes her exceed her husband's height by several inches -- or to NOT do so if it makes her uncomfortable.</p> <p>If I were 5'6" like you, Sona, I would probably get a little kick out of wearing shoes that made me taller than my husband (who is also about 5'8", or maybe slightly taller). I like to push boundaries sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533128 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:58:21 +0000 kimana517 533128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a child I just assumed that my future husband would be taller, since that's the norm. As a teenager (I hit my full height - 5'10" - at age 14), even guys who were an inch or two taller than I am considered me "too tall". (I heard that a few times secondhand.) Don't get me started on how unattractive their lack of confidence was! Ugh! While all those guys were ignoring me, I made a great friend with a guy who happened to be only 5'6". It was strictly platonic for 9 months, during which time we became best friends. Eventually we both started to feel more than friendly for each other, and now we've been incredibly happily married for 8 years. </p> <p>Our height difference has never bothered us. I don't know if we never noticed it because we had already known each other for so long, or if we just knew that each other's personalities were perfect fits for us, but whatever the reason, it's never bothered us in the slightest. Personally, I find our height difference to be far less bizarre-looking than a tall man with a much shorter woman, which I see quite often. (For example, one of my brothers is 6'7" and his wife is 5'10". Another of my brothers is 6'2" and his girlfriend is 5'4". In my opinion, their 9" and 10" height differences look a lot stranger than my husband's and my 4"!)</p> <p>And if my being naturally 4 inches taller than my husband wasn't enough, he thinks it's HOT when I wear heels. That kind of confidence is a million times sexier than a guy who's 6 feet tall and insecure.</p> <p>(Pic is of us a few years ago at a friend's wedding. Since then, I started wearing higher heels [those are about 1"] and he's lost 20 lbs. I don't think we look strange at all!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533120 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:50:28 +0000 Jem 533120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5'9" tall and my husband is 6' (probably more like 5'11" these days). So, it doesn't take too much for me to be taller than him. I almost always wear heels when I go to church (usually around 3", sometimes more), so I'm pretty tall then. I probably wouldn't choose tall shoes if we were just going out to eat or the store or something like that. I always wanted to marry someone who was 6'5" lol. I agree, height doesn't make the man, and definitely wasn't the deciding factor obviously. (and was definitely the right choice 25 yrs later) Anyway, I don't think he cares if I'm taller, but I do feel very tall in heels would usually choose something shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533114 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:37:15 +0000 Anonymous 533114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always had a thing about this too. I'm 5'7" and I wanted to marry a guy that would always be taller than me in my heels (I wore 4" heels on my wedding day--but that was because I wore my mother's silk ball gown and without 4 hoopskirts underneath to pouf if out, I needed the heels to keep it from dragging on the floor--but I digress). </p> <p>Most of this was because of my own poor self-image and wanting a man that would be bigger than me and make me feel "dainty". I wanted him to be able to pick me up and carry me across the threshold too. (Hubs is 6" so I'm safe, whew.) So just like some short men want shorter women because of their hang ups, I wanted a taller man because of my own complex. I'd like to think it wouldn't bother me now, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-heels-and-the-height-of-your-sig-otherhusband#post-533111 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:33:16 +0000 lyn* 533111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My East Indian friend (male) had a charming girlfriend. He brought her to meet the parents. The grandmother asked her and him to stand back to pack. She was taller by 0.5" or so. She asked them to break up.</p> <p>I didn't think height was such a big issue; I only dated one guy who was a similar height than me, but my dad liked the guys who were taller a lot more and commented that this was more appropriate. I'm 5'7" and have dated 5'7"; 6'0"; and 6'4" :p</p> <p>I find that I always try to be shorter than my attending physician; which is sometimes very difficult when they're 5'5" at most. They usually have "short man syndrome." - I never wear heels on the first day :)</p> <p>ETA: The 6'0" guy always told me he thought he was the perfect height. HAHAHA. </p>
