The Relationship Thread II: Lost in that Last Goodbye

[nonny]

I'm 6ft 3in and dated a girl who was 6ft 10in...

No, not a typo. You're lucky to be short mate, you can have sex practically anywhere!

[kryss]

A question to fellow short guys.
Ok, I'm 5ft 4" and recently got talking to a girl, as she contacted me first via the modern day judgemental scourge that is internet dating sites, and right off the bat I mentioned that I am shorter than her (5 ft 10") but she said it's no problem.
We get along great (I hope) and she is quite keen and wants to meet me, as my only hangup is the height issue.

How many of you guys dated taller girls than yourselves?
Am I making it more of an issue than it is?

First, good job on finding someone who replies to you via an online dating site, that's nearly as unlikely as winning the lottery. Finding one who starts the conversation is even more difficult - get a lotto ticket this week!!
Second, the height thing'll be an issue if you make it an issue.

Happy hunting...And probably best not mention your MH addiction.

the height thing'll be an issue if you make it an issue.

Spot on advice from Kryss there.
I'm 5 ft 9" and went out with a girl 6 ft 2" for a few months, wasn't a problem at all.

If you're shorter than your bird, it means you're at good tit-noshing height.

[gunrock]

At 6ft 3", I've never met a taller girl but if she doesn't mind, why would I?

If your lucky she might want to overpower you in the bedroom!

[jimtendo]

Cheers guys for the input and assurances.
It basically just did boil down to my hangup about it.

I'll break the MH addiction news in due course!
(Or not)

Everyone's different. My ex wife said she could never date a man shorter than her. I pointed out that she's 5ft nothing so that would be a really unlikely situation! Well done mate. I met someone on a dating site and it's all going great. Also no shortage of women making contact either so I think they're great.

[prinnysquad]

Filmed that porno yet, Brad?

[kryss]

no shortage of women making contact either so I think they're great.

Whoa, you saying I'm fugly??

I kid. Canadian women are, in fact, mighty cold.

If you're shorter than your bird, it means you're at good tit-noshing height.

If you're really short & she's really tall you might be noshing the beef curtains standing up

[VR46]

I keep thinking of this 20 second advert from back in the day. No offence jimtendo.

[jimtendo]

Hah.
Memories of that advert did come into my mind.

[Mayhem]

Yes, some women don't want to date anyone shorter than themselves. Can be a problem, especially in a high concentration area. Someone I know is 5'3" and he says trying to find dates who look past the non-muscular, short-arse exterior can be very hard.

I'm 5'8" and I've only dated one girl who was taller than me (5'11"), and everything was fine on that basis, the relationship ended due to the usual, more normal reasons instead.

[VR46]

As the saying goes, we're all the same height when we're laying down....

[Ghost]

This isn't exactly a relationship story but i think I'm going to stop using dating sites altogether. About two weeks ago I started chatting to this woman on okcupid, we have pretty much the exact same interests and are looking for the same thing, after a few days and about 20 emails later we exchange numbers and begin chatting on whatsapp, with one night us chatting for 4 hours straight. So things are going well I thought. On Monday I give her a call and we chat for about 30 mins before going to bed, she's going to new york for a few days today so we arrange to meet up for the first time next Saturday after she gets back. I don't hear from her at all on Tuesday and I didn't contact her either, on Wednesday I text her and ask how she is, don't get a reply. I leave it and text her again Thursday night asking her how she's getting on with her essay, still don't get a text back. Yesterday I was working on a TV set and sent her some pics and asked if she was excited about her trip to NY, still nothing.

So it's gone from chatting every single day to me being completely ignored, as far as I know I haven't said anything to offend her and I've not been constantly sending her messages either. I thought it might be because she has been really busy and not had chance to reply but on whatsapp she has been online and read all of my messages, she's also been posting on Facebook in that time and has also edited her profile page on Cupid. This has really pissed me off and sadly it's not the first time something like this has happened, if a girl decides she's no longer interested or she's met someone else fair enough, but they should at least have the decency to just say so rather than just ignore you completely and hope that you just give up, especially when a person hasnt said or done anything to justify being treated like that. I consider it a lucky escape and would rather not go out with anyone who thinks treating people like that is acceptable but it's infuriating because being ignored is one of my biggest pet peeves and it also feels like a complete waste of time as well.

Only problem is at my age (30) it's difficult to meet and date women, nearly all of the girls at uni and work are 10 years younger than me and I have no interest in night clubs or bars
