Maybe the tall guys need to see that it's the heels and hair that makes you 6'4". I am sure you will find some totally fabulous guy closer to your height.

Maybe the tall guys need to see that it’s the heels and hair that makes you 6’4″. I am sure you will find some totally fabulous guy closer to your height.

I'm 6'4"-in-heels-and-hair (that's what's known as "pageant height" in the South) and 5'10" in stocking feet. I yearn, YEARN for a tall man --or at least someone not significantly shorter than I am-- but all you little Shetland people are snatching them up! And it seems the taller the guy, the shorter the girl. It's crazy-making. Quit it! well all y’all short people with tall husbands can just get on a step stool and get your chompers ready.

He's definitely a keeper. dcsurfergirl, I'm 5'2" and always wear flats because I can't navigate heels well, either. In fact, I've been known to fall off my heels while wearing flats. Mr. Twistie is 6'1". On our wedding day he wore a top hat and I wore flats. What can I say? We just work. In my single days, I noticed that most of the guys who noticed me seemed to be on the taller side, too. No clue why that is, but it worked out just fine. It was, however, kind of funny the time I dated a guy who was only about two inches taller than me. I know it shouldn't have been awkward, but I just wasn't used to looking my date in the face sans neck trauma. I'd have gotten over it if he'd really been the guy for me, but it did feel odd. kimks, I think I love your husband! He’s definitely a keeper.

I needed that. I am 5'4", try not to slouch and wear flats (I am a bit wobbly in heels). I am just curious as to why the significantly taller (and thinner) guys find me! Just wondering..

I too am short and have always wondered why this comes as a surprise to people. As first I thought it was because I wear high heels- a lot- and that somehow people had not noticed that I was wearing 3 or 4 inch heeled shoes. Then I though it was because I had always dated really tall men (until my husband) and thus became really comfortable with walking to keep up with tall people, looking tall people in the eye, just being me around tall people. I asked my husband once, after someone noticed that I was short, how this could suddenly dawn on someone, and he said "Darling you have a wonderful way of making people pay attention to you and not your size- It has something to do with giving and getting respect." Yes, I know- that's why I married him. Right On Twistie!!
