I agree with what you are saying. As a woman who is very tall I accept there will be men that wouldn't want to date me because of that. I'm ok with that. My husband is just a little bit taller than me and isn't fussed when I wear heels etc. Over the years I have had many people say to me "ooh aren't you tall?". It's interesting as no one would EVER say to someone "ooh aren't you fat?". Just to balance it up I've also had many lovely comments about my height / legs etc. Being a tall woman is way easier now than when I was younger . I personally feel there are way more worrying things influencing vulnerable people on instagram so don't tend to worry too much about height discrimination.having a type is fine. And not wanting to be with someone short is fine.
My question is about how it’s ok to discuss height as a negative thing so often. ( not just here, I’m sorry this is just the thread that got me due to a few things on insta recently). Would we have had a similar thread on another characteristic such as weight / colour/ size of nose?
Have you met him yet?I need some friendly and non judgemental advice please.
I have recently been chatting to a guy for around a month now, we speak ever day and have a few phone calls. We seem to get on great and the conversation just flows nicely; he isn't sex mad and hasn't sent the usual pictures men seem to do this day and age.
There is just one thing thats bugging me at the moment, and that's the fact he is 3 inches smaller then me in height. I have 5ft 8 and quite stocky and I'm worried we will odd together when we meet.
I have never actually dated a guy shorter then me, although I was seeing a guy a while back who was around the same height and every one made comments.
Suppose my question is has anyone been in this situation or has dated a shorter guy?
No, you are not an idiot at all. It's normal to get a bit nervous and over think things. Fingers crossed your meet up goes well. Keep us updated.Thank you all for you replies, its good to have an insight into something like this.
We haven't actually met yet although it's planned, as a typical women I'm starting to stress about it but not for my previous reasons (height) it's more so will there be that spark that comes across over message, as we get on so well although this week there has been a shift in the how much we are actually talking, he previously stated there is gonna be times when he won't speak as he is busy at work, today has been one of those days. Does it make me sound stupid? As I got so use to talking to him everyday, I've been let down before so I'm convinced it's gonna happen again.
I think I need to stop being such an idiot and just focus on our meeting.
What kind of comment?Guys the meeting got cancelled this morning due to storm Dennis cancelling alot of public transport, it's been rescheduled. Bloody weather!
In light of this I happened to stumble across something last night and I'm unsure wether to approach it or not bother. I may be nothing but its now made me more wary.
It is a few commens between the guy in question and another female, now before someone comments about how we aren't together or I'm over reacting I'm fully aware this is the case but when it come to dating this day and age you need to have your wits about you cause you can get hurt.
She made a comment saying she was 'well jel and that her bed is the only valentine she is getting tonight' his reply ' I'd love to invite but they say 3 is a crowdWhat kind of comment?
I suppose it's hard to know what context it was really meant in. For example, I can think of 3 different people who could all say the same thing but imply something different based on how they say it. Does that make sense? I think it's hard to know what that really all meant unless you know their personality enough. If you have doubts about them maybe being a player at least go for a drink / dinner, have a fun night out and if you're not sure at least you gave it a shot?She made a comment saying she was 'well jel and that her bed is the only valentine she is getting tonight' his reply ' I'd love to invite but they say 3 is a crowd' she then goes on to say at least her bed hasnt been stood up.
What am I suppose to make of that?
Yeah it does make sense. I've been toying with the idea wether to ask him, we have rescheduled but the even weirder thing is I haven't heard off since 8pm Saturday night.I suppose it's hard to know what context it was really meant in.

have you spoken about being exclusive yet, though? Just chatting to me doesn’t scream ‘exclusive’.She made a comment saying she was 'well jel and that her bed is the only valentine she is getting tonight' his reply ' I'd love to invite but they say 3 is a crowd' she then goes on to say at least her bed hasnt been stood up.

We have touched base on the matter, but obviously in till we meet then there is no knowing what might happen.have you spoken about being exclusive yet, though? Just chatting to me doesn’t scream ‘exclusive’.
But I’ve also never dated online so I wouldn’t know. I’d say that’s a flirty comment but honestly I don’t think I’d look too much into it if you haven’t even met yet.
It's hard not to judge due to past experience, I know you shouldn't let your pass dictate your future.I wouldn't judge him based on a silly online comment. At the moment he's a single man and people comment things online all the time that mean nothing! If you get on well then just go for it.. you've got nothing to lose. You might click and get on really well, he might be lovely, if not, you hopefully had a nice evening out anyway.
I once had sex with a short guy. I’m really tall. Nothing sexier that his toes hitting your shin mid shag, let me tell youGenitals are in the middle so that height differences don’t matter
I'm taller than my husband, I don't care what people think, we've been married for 16 happy years. I don't wear heels like I used to do, but I would for a night out. If hes a good guy dony let height stop you xxI need some friendly and non judgemental advice please.
