Think I’m missing out on a great guy due to me being weird. Being courted by an amazing guy. He has a small tech start up, has similar hobbies and just so interesting to talk to. Issue is,he is 7’2...

And not a mistake lol. He is legit 7’2 and I’m 5’1 and I have this irrational fear of idk

....you have a fear of heights?!

😂 sorry I just had to. In all seriousness I get it - I would give it a few more dates and if it continues to weird you out move on.

Holy shit lol. Personally I think it’s adorable. Sure, there’ll be some work around but as long as he’s strong enough to lift you up then I don’t see an issue. What is it specifically though that bothers you?

I’ve had this height difference and I’ll just come out and say it...sex was painful. But until you know what he’s working with and slept with him , don’t be scared just yet.

You gotta find you a man you can go up on

Baahaha

This isn’t weird. It’s awkward to you- even if it is what others would call crazy or weird. You have to be honest with yourself and see what it is that’s bothering you. Then see if you can get past it or not.

Give it a shot. Focus on him as a whole person and take it slow. Get to know him as a person and take the physical part slow.

I am 5'3" and I've dated multiple men that are 6`10“. I have to say, a tall powerful man picking me up is... Amazing.

That said, one was just too big for me, we couldn't have sex comfortably in any position. But the other two... Phenomenal. One that was just above average and one that was more what you would expect for such a tall man.

Don't psych yourself out if you like him. Take it easy, enjoy the dates, and see where the dating ride takes you - could be the love of your life!

This is wild to me ahaha. I’m 5’3” and 6’6” to me already is a giant

Honestly, you do you. Do what makes u happy- fear just tends to hold ppl back... so don’t let height deter you.

Wait I personally think this is adorable as well. But the sex being painful is a good point

Lots of NBA players date tiny women and it seems to be fine for them. My husband is a foot taller than me and my biggest gripe is that he messes up the blankets on the bed while we sleep because his feet push everything out the end of the mattress 😒

I like tall men bc I just wanna climb em 🤠

5’2”, dated a guy who was 6’8” — don’t stress until you know for sure, the, um, “physical” part wasn’t any different than most other men I have been with.

Watching the Indian Matchmaking on Netflix. Every other minute a guy or his parents are asking for "fair skin." 🤦

Asking for advice: Hi ladies, how do you tell your SO that you want private time with your friends/colleagues? For context, my SO and I have been living together for 2 years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!
