I hate my height so much. I’m 5’9 female and it’s a lot harder to date when you're a tall woman as being tall is seen as being less “feminine”. Tired of being met with the shocked faces of dates or even colleagues. Can’t wear heels. Wish I could get 5 inches out of my spine of something.

I think we are all looking for reasons why our lives are harder so we can feel justified in where we're at. I could argue that I'm 5'3, hourglass, 177lb, have freckles and brown curly hair, can't tolerate foundation on my skin, and have a chronic pain condition with ambiguous diagnosis, and that's why I'm 38 and not married. Those are all things I have little influence or control over. Or I could look at how I keep repeating relationship patterns from when I had a controlling parnter as a 22yo, or how my dad is a mediocre partner to my mum, or how I'm an anxious over performer from all the pressure I experienced during my studies, and maybe how I want to have too much planning and control over my future, and maybe that's why I never meet anyone I like, and always leave people.
Any time we put energy into justifying to ourselves why dating is hard, we come across and bitter and frustrated, and aren't really opening our hearts to great people that are ready to date.

Story of my life

I’m a 5’7 male and most of the women I have dated have been my height or taller. Sure, not every woman likes me being shorter but wear those heels, look your best. As short man and tall woman is the true definition of power couple. As a shorter man, you being a taller woman is not a slight on your femininity at all.

GL in your search. But I’d say find a guy around your height with some solid BDE and it’ll be the time of your life. Plus tall dudes almost always end up with knee issues. I have lots of college football friends who are taller than me and quite a few are completely fucked in the knees. Don’t you wanna get carried around? Bad knee tall dudes can’t do that ;)

I think that's merely an issue with luck. Couldn't really find someone tall enough to not break my back to reach down, so I had somewhat the opposite problem. But there's also compatibility, so I guess there's layers to break through to find someone.
