    They must be fairly high heels to make a 5'9" girl tower over guys....noice. ;)


    I like shoes!!!

    I meant that if i meet a 6 foot guy in my runners, chances are with shoes on i'm pretty much the same height as him which guys don't like. I'm technically closer to 5 "10 but being somewhere in the middle i just say 5"9. They seem to like being taller than their women and get offended if i don't wear runners or flats all the time. I've no problem wearing flats sometimes but a girl pays good money for a shoe wardrobe and wants to wear them! I could always wear whatever i wanted with the 6 ft 7 guy and it was great. Although he also liked me in my runners as he thought i looked 'cute'

    maybe guys just have a runners fetish

    I love the way your getting you 0.5" in there, see that exactly what im talking about, trying to kiss a girl and I nearly have to end up bringing in a building contractor to build her something to stand on,


    And where are your sisters friends?

    It's very important. Serious it's that half an inch which made me only 11" shorter that my ex, and not 11.5".

    As for my sisters friends- UCD Freshers week. Judging by the houses and career though, they may be a bit young for you.

    I completely agree!! Mind you, I never compromise on the shoes. i like ma heels and thats that. And if they have a problem with it tough!!

    Mind you, when they see the amount of shoes that I have I think they know better than to complain.......:p

    I have to say, any really tall guy I went out with, I always thought 'Wow, this is what it most feel like to girls of normal height or smaller'! I'm so used to being the same height or taller than the guy that it made a lovely change!!

    On the whole I'm not heightist tho. I do like tall men, but i'm much the same height as an average Irish guy, and a lot are smaller than me. Height wouldn't be a deal breaker I have to say... if I like a man i like him and thats that....tho 5ft 7 would be my absolute limit, any smaller would look ridiculous!!:D

    Ya, you do actually.

    Maybe thats it. Maybe its the people who take the piss out of you are just young and immature?? Maybe you should consider somebody older, and go places that are that bit older, an over-23s late bar or whatever.

    You'd probably get a more mature sort there who wouldn't make such a big deal about your height, and you'd probably have a lot more in common with them aswell.

    I'm not talking about going off with a granny, but perhaps a woman in her mid to late twenties might be better suited to yourself??

    Trust me, it doesnt matter where i go, i could go to a wake, and the aul ones and planting themselves beside me, now don't get me wrong there full of completments like " ah sure by jasus , ur a fine man " .

    Its just bugs me no matter where i go height seems to be the main point and starter of conversation.

    i could be wearing a nice jacket, that cost €400 quid or cool shoes or whatever, and there would be no completment , just a " let us try that on and see how funny i look in your massive clothes "

    I agree with manukahoney. Seriously a gaggle of 18 year girls, 6ft tall or not, will do your head in, with the OMG-ing and 'he's loike, sooo, tall'-ing.

    Older could be better.

    You can't run away from your height. And I imagine it cant be easy to live with but the fact that your height makes you stand out is something you are going to have to accept before you can have a decent relationship.

    Quirks, and you could view your height as one, tend to be conversation starters. And your in a bar. Height is a pretty easy, uncontroversial way, for a girl to start a conversation with you, if she's trying to chat you up.

    Small girls have their height commented on all the time. Girls with big boobs, girls with no boobs. It's not something you can easily or readily change so learn to love it and use it to your advantage and you'll be a lot happier.

    That's a bit weird imo, tall girls are hawt, and although I've never been with a girl taller than me I don't think I'd have a problem with it. Once in a shop I was working in a girl that was about 6'3" came to the counter and it was all I could do to hide the boner. :o (sorry ladies)

    Definitely don't have a runners fetish either, heels are awesome on girls.

    (I've said way to much in this post).

    Well I'm a 34" inseam; I do need at least 36" for heels though, or a 37" if I can get it!!

    I do have friends who claim that they have the same length legs as me despite being inches smaller and their legs being visibly shorter than mine:rolleyes:

    I've worked in retail long enough to know that most Irish people, of both genders, are clueless of their correct size.

    To be fair though, a lot the manufacturers sizing is pretty crazy!! So it's not always the persons own fault!!

    Anyways, this is horribly offtopic.

    OP, embrace your size and feck the begrudgers.

    Look witheringly at the ones that make the smart comment and entertain the pretty ladies that comment upon you're height, chances are they're trying to initiate conversation.

    It sounds like you have it all going for you, You just need to realise that.

    My boyfriend is 6ft 5 .. Im 5ft 3 I love his height!! It makes me feel all safe and secure and i love it, a few weeks ago we were walking through town and a couple standing outside a bar started pointing over at us smiling, (i was wearing flats) it did make us kind of paranoid, but we dont care we suit each other, he loves to mollycoddle me and i love feeling safe and secure with my big man! :) You just havent met the right gal OP

    QS THIS, a couple of little tips that might make your posts flow a bit better:

    1. When quoting someone respond after the quote, not before. It makes it easier for someone reading your post to follow as people naturally read top to bottom.

    2. The button immediately to the right of the quote button is multi-quote. You can select multiple posts and respond to them all in one single post when you hit the reply button.

    Btw, these aren't orders stating that you must post this way, you can post any way you like. I just thought they may help you seeing as you're relatively new around here.

    Hi there QS ;),

    It's a tough one and I thought some people had problems:(
    Why don't you stick to fancy dress parties instead and go disguised as a lamp post?
