Tall Guys

Would like other ladies opinion on this! Is it just me or does anyone else find it hard to meet tall guys?
I'm 5' 11" but when I'm out wearing heels it puts me at about 6'2"/6'3" and taller than the vast majority of guys on a night out.
Wondering are there any other tall ladies or ladies in general out there with a similar dilemma or am I going to all the wrong places?

I feel your pain at 5ft 10!

I must say though, a lot of men do be taller than me, even in heels so it's not too bad. Plus, since I rarely wear them, even if they're a small bit shorter than me on a night out, they're still taller than me normally. Although, I still generally go for guys taller than me even in heels...

OP, I'm the same hight as you and I love my heels too.
I've harassed my lad mates and OH about this many times and they always say hight doesn't bother them about girls. They see a tall girl and they think model, not jolly green giant.
Embase it, being tall is awesome!!

Jeez I'm tiny, I'm a foot smaller than the OP. My bf is tall though, he's 6ft. But you can't have him because he's all mine..

I'm 5'9 but can't walk in heels so never had that issue. Always been quite tall within family and friends but look like midget beside my boyfriend who's 6'3!

Is height that important to you?

I mean, you can't expect other people not to be bothered by you being really tall if you tend to be bothered by them not being so tall!

Whoa that is tall and sexy *cat noise*

But to be serious I am around 6ft1 (male here) and out of the majority of blokes i've ever met I tend to be taller and by all means at 6ft1 i am not a tall man I personally think the average bloke must be around 5ft9 or something. So I can see your issue

I had a female friend who was 5ft11 barefoot. She would even dwarf me with heels on. But she tended to always wear flat shoes on nights out. As she thought she was far more likely to meet a chap at 6ft. Than 6ft4 upwards.

So op, sadly its not the places you go to. Just the luck of the draw meeting someone who is taller.

It could be we are all extraordinarily ugly* or already attached because there are lots of tall males... [/male interloper][/Wibbs]

*Speaking for myself anyways

OK, this is obviously going to be down to my own ignorance as a male, so I apologize that, but I mostly fail to see the point of already-tall women wearing high heels.

Well as another male, I totally see the point. Have you ever noticed that for example calves and bums often look better when a woman wears heels? Well, they do, and I usually think it's a shame when I see a tall beautiful woman in flats crouching among her shorter friends who are standing proudly to their full height.
Now as it happens, I prefer shorter women, but I'm only 5'10 anyway, so I'm probably not attractive to the taller gals anyway. My gf is 5'3.

To contradict myself again though, - on how many days of your life does it really matter which one is taller, if you're with someone you love, trust and care for?

You're probably right, I guess it's just something I never really noticed.

I'm 5"10, occassionally wear heels as it's nice to feel feminine and they do make me look better overall I think.

I usually just wear flats though and even at that, there's a lot of guys smaller than me
