Dating a Tаll Girl

How to date a girl who is taller than you are

A long-standing taboo is that a man should always be taller than his partner, or at least the same height. But as gender norms and stereotypes become less and less relevant, it's time to date the long-legged, ginger girl you like. This article will give you some tips on approaching a girl and make sure you both feel comfortable and confident in your relationship.

Dating a tall woman

Appreciate her height. The height difference isn't something you just have to put up with; it's another quality you can appreciate in your gorgeous partner.[8] Even if you're comfortable being shorter than your girl, she might be uncomfortable or concerned that you feel self-conscious. When she knows you like her for her wonderful personality, tell her that you think her height is as fantastic as her sense of humor, her ability to quote your favorite movies, her amazing math skills, and all the other things that make her special.

• Don't try to make her slouch to make her look shorter or ask her to wear only low shoes.
• Compliment her height and long legs. Remind her that her height makes her more attractive.

Treat her like a lady. Most women say they prefer a taller man because it makes them feel more feminine, probably because most of their lives they have heard that being bigger than a man is somehow disappointing.[10] If a tall woman has any insecurity about her height, she will usually feel intimidating or "manly."[11] Make her feel feminine by placing your hand on her lower back or around her waist. Put your arm around her when you are sitting together. Don't discourage her from wearing heels if she wants to wear them.

• He may appreciate that you behave with a certain classic masculinity. Be firm (but not rude or controlling). Take the first step and kiss her first.
• You can be the one to cuddle with her, you'll just have to adjust the way you normally lie next to her. Or why not let her cuddle with you from time to time?

Remember that she likes you. Of course, you both know you're shorter than she is, but if she's dating you it means she doesn't care. She sees something in you that is more important than your physical appearance. The fact that other people's opinions don't make her stop dating you should make you feel secure in the relationship.

Dress to appear taller. You should only do this if you both have talked about the height difference and are still uncomfortable about it. If you start trying to be sneaky and wear shoes that make you look taller just to make yourself feel better, she will notice and think you are insecure.

• Wear boots or sneakers with a thicker sole. You can also buy elevator insoles to place inside the shoe, which will make you look taller without having to wear a heeled shoe.
• Wear tailored clothing with vertical stripes. Baggy clothes can make you look smaller or shorter, but vertical stripes will make your body look longer.
• Gel style your hair with a topknot or spikes. The key is to leave little hair on the sides, but lots of volume on top.
• Stand up straight! Good posture will not only make you look better, but you may also find that you're not much shorter than your girlfriend after all. Keep your shoulders back and your head up. You'll even look more confident.

When you're a tall woman, you often get asked a very cliché question. "Do you play basketball?" Aside from any kind of proven athletic ability, people associate tall women with the popular sport. Of course, being tall is an advantage, so you MUST play basketball, right?

Sigh, my mistake.

Likewise, while dating many people assume that tall women only want to date tall men. Or that they're somehow not as attractive to not-so-tall men who want to feel that way. But when it comes to dating, do tall women really have a disadvantage?

By now, most singles realize that people come in all shapes and sizes.When it comes to finding someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, compassion for others and a kind heart are far more important than whether or not you're teetering around the six-foot mark.

If you're a tall woman and you're still worried that your height may limit the field, here's why it's not as bad as you think:

Tall means powerful.

Many people look at a tall woman and see confidence and strength. So even if you don't feel that way inside, you may be giving off some incredibly positive vibes. When you get to a certain age, it's much more important to have traits like assertiveness, not just to others, but to yourself. And when you're tall, you almost always have an advantage over others when it comes to making sure you're always heard.

You immediately weed out the people you'd be incompatible with.

So, any guy doesn't feel comfortable dating a tall woman? That's like refusing to date someone with green eyes. Or, not giving someone a chance since one of their teeth is slightly crooked. People have preferences, yes, but to turn someone off immediately based on a physical trait they were born with is a bit insubstantial. Especially if you have otherwise compatible personalities. A lot of times, giving up on someone for a natural reason like height means there's a specific insecurity the other person has, but blaming the tall girl is easier. So if you get rejected for being too tall, consider it a bullet dodged.

If someone's biggest physical attraction is legs, well, you've got them.

That's just the way it is. The taller you are, the longer your legs are. And by now, you're probably a pro at making sure those legs know how to shine. Sure, someone won't date you just because of your legs (at least, hopefully not) but if they're included in the description of someone's ultimate mate, you better believe they'll be looking specifically for a tall girl.

Tall women know what it's like to be in the minority.

When you're the tallest girl in the class, people make sure you know it. It's important to be different and stand out, but it can also be quite polarizing at times. This means that tall women often have compassion for others who don't fit into the so-called middle category. They know that it's important to treat everyone with respect, regardless of their physical traits and personal quirks. So really, that means their dating field is pretty open.

Tall women often have a closet full of clothes that fit them well and give them extra confidence, which means they will always look spectacular on dates.

When you're tall, your best friend probably isn't the tailor. In fact, you may have never needed your clothes altered. So many shirts and dresses have been created to fit bodies like yours. Sure, you'll have to worry about some of them being cut a little too short, but at least it will look intentional if it happens, rather than looking frumpy. Tall women can actually pull off a ton of different styles, which means they can be ready for a date in minutes.

Tall women know that short guys are scientifically better boyfriends.

It's true: a study was conducted showing that shorter men are less likely to get divorced than the average taller man. Therefore, when people of average height randomly throw out the opportunity to date a guy who is a little shorter, a tall girl will have no problem giving them a well-deserved shot. Actually, short guys shouldn't worry too much about asking out a taller girl. Tall girls are confident enough not to worry about what others think, and they know that height doesn't matter.
