Ok, you didn't ask me, but I'll answer as if I believe you actually don't know.

If you read any discussion on dating anywhere, or have ever asked any of your female friends or sisters, you'd know that most, -not all, but
most women prefer to date a guy taller than them or at least the same height.

Your right i didnt ask you.

if heights overshadows/outshines a personality and a good guy, then forget her, move on to the next one that appreciates you for who you are, simples

Chatting to a guy for a while - was aware of his height and worried about it, nearly afraid to meet him but met him last week and it was happy wow, date went brilliantly, height didnt bother me at all and 2 date lined up - so you never know till you meet someone

I would be one of these ladies who prefers a taller guy as I'm 5'10 and a bit. But got talking to a nice fella, really clicked online and met up. He's handsome and funny and the small difference in height doesn't bother me. Although I haven't been out with him in heels yet! :pac:

Got a notification I received a new mail on OKC last night. I have been emailing back and forth with a girl but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere beyond conversation so I thought it would be another one from herself but it turned out it was from a different woman who said she loved my profile.

I check her profile and she is absolutely gorgeous.



But then I notice on her profile she is only looking for friends.

So it turned out she was indeed looking to see someone and corrected her profile from just only looking for friends. Arranged a date and she is even more attractive than her photos and I had great fun as she is also very nice and funny. For a while I started slipping into old bad habits of negative thinking "she is really good looking, why is she bother with me, she is out of my league etc etc" but managed to pull myself together throw that negative thinking aside and just acted my rambling, waffling and joking self.

She said yes to date 2. :cool:

Good going Mags! And defo get any negative thoughts outta your head. It'll be your downfall in the end, nothing else. She finds you attractive and good company, deal with it! :pac:

Delighted for ya Lar, a significant ex of mine was the same height as me, and she wouldn't wear proper heels out with me over it, even though I would have been more than grand with it. I actually think taller gals look better when they wear their heels and stand up straight rather than stooping to hide among their friends.

Not a bother, ordinarily I'd open up on you, but I'm in good form today as I've a date this evening, - I'll come back and tell the story if it goes well. Tommy Bowes try is helping with the humor too.

.

Well its early days yet John!

I would like to wear heels more, but hearing conversations gets harder when you are way up in the sky. :pac:

Online date or Real Life Meet date? Have fun and details after.

It is surprising how many girls, who are under 5'3'', that will specify that they want to meet a 6ft guy. Yes a nice personality can outweigh factors like height but not if it prevents any initial contact.

So a slow dance with you wearing your heels would be .........blinding

Not really, no.

I'm thinking of adopting the Larianne strategy (and if your dates are going so well shouldn't you be bowing out of here?;)) of not putting a pic up and initiating contact with the girls whose profiles I like. Might not be so effective with a guy doing it but I would include pics in the personal mail to them.

Sounds a bit wussy I know but I'm just not fully comfortable having my pic on a dating site.

Just include some pics of your beet farm and watch the girls flock to you

No, not yet. Only been on two dates (bad timing at the mo for meeting up ).

I don't see any harm in you doing it that way if you're not comfortable with sticking a picture up. But you may have the ladies asking why you don't have a picture up.

Well Ive signed up to POF - let the fun begin!

Im going with Larianne's method too. I had literally only signed up a few mins and didnt even get a chance to put my profile on private and I had 12 messages and 3 meet-ups! That's too crazy for me! Just trying to compile a few messages now, it's harder than I thought!

Jeez, what have I started!! There will be no-one left on these sites!! :pac:

Busy Lizzie, I would write a mail like I was chatting to someone for the first time. So its not like a structured message if that makes any sense?
