I have this thing about Amazons.

I kid around. Seriously however, height doesn't matter to me. It is always a matter of how I feel about the person. Conversation is important for me.

I dated the tall girl back when I was in my early 20's, and a walking hormone factory.

So even though she was dumber than a bag of hammers, I liked her big...never mind.

Of course, she would probably be the one who would not be willing to date me.

I've never dated a woman taller than 5'5" or older than 29. I hope I never have to.

I'm 6'3" and 34.

The women my own age all want families or kids or stability or commitment or to settle into a nice life.

I want none of those things, I've never wanted any of those things.

She's gorgeous. I love tall women. And strong women. And confident women. And independent women.

Guys who are intimidated by tall women are losing out...

The question is: would she date me? By her standards, I'm short: 5'10".

and if she'd have me I would be happy to date her (If my wife let me)(Or I was single. Maybe being single would be the best thing.)

Or any other tall lady. Or short one.

I didn't hit 5'9" until almost the end of high school either so I was always shorter than most every girl I dated in High School.


All 3 of them.

I worked at the Saddle West Hotel and Casino, along the main highway.

Among our fairly regular patrons were a couple about my age. The guy was easily 4 inches taller than me, and the girl was definitely at least 6 inches taller than him, putting her a bit over 7 feet tall. I shit you not!

She was also stunningly gorgeous, and I learned from my coworkers that the guy she was with was an asshole.

Many moments dreaming about usurping the asshole boyfriend ensued. Realistically couldn't do shit, though.

I can't even remember her name, but I will always hope she's happier now.

All things aside, how we look on the outside should not matter. It is only what people see on the inside that matters. How many great people do you pass by because of someone's looks?

However this girl is too young for me, I found my taste in women has grown for the older women as I have aged.

29. If I was single

I've found over the years that personality & intelligence matter more than things like height, so I'd have no problem dating a 6'8" woman if we connected personality-wise.

However, being 10 inches or so shorter than her would take some getting used to on my part. The tallest woman I dated was in the 5'11" to 6'0" range, so only about 1 1/2 to 2 inches taller than me. And, we only dated for a brief time.

However, dating a teenager when you're a middle-aged guy is rather awkward, and often illegal here in the States.
