Height In a relationship…

is it a problem?… im 5′11… and live around alot of smaller people…like 5′9ish or smaller…
well as im a girl does height matter if you have a smaller boyfriend??.. i have wide hips but im not fat…just curvy basically!! Lol

So does it matter? if im 5′11 with someone of the height 5′9??? ive seen people out n about with taller girlfriends and they seem happy so could i be happy like that too.

Its not other people you should ask , its yourself, if you don’t mind then nothing else matters.
If he is taller, shorter there is no difference , the only difference is in your mind.
So ask yourself, does it bother you?

height shouldn’t be an issue but if you’re asking this it’s because it’s an issue for YOU. and if you aren’t comfortable with the height difference it will always be in the back of your mind.

The outside doesn’t matter. If anyone thinks it matters, then they DON’T matter.

Mayb you need to focus more on that then. If you worry what others think about you then you will find that what others think wil start to control what you do and who you are.
Be an indevidual, if your not harming anyone then do what you think is best.

What others think shouldn’t matter, live for yourself and what makes you happy. You can bet those people you are worrying about are not busy getting worried about you. They are just getting on with their lives.

Well, that’s not a lot, I mean, your length or the difference in hight. I think a lot of guys would even like that you’re taller. Anyway it is not something you should really be concerned with, I wouldn’t be.

i have a question for you. how would you feel if he broke it off because you’re to tall. i’m sure it would hurt you and hurt your confidence, well it would do the same to him. If you want to brake it off don’t make it about height. and what the people around shouldn’t matter in the end it only matters if you make each other happy

I think it’s kind of sexy. You’ll look sort of like a model with her beau out on the town. That’s what I pictured when I read your post, anyway. Ever see those pictures of the models and their shorter boyfriends? I guess you could say it’s kind of vogue. :P

Nah it’s cool.
I knew a girl who got mistaken for her boyfriend’s babysitter.
lol but they were still happy.
I’m 5 foot about and I don’t intend to keep growing.
So I must admit when I DO go with guys shorter than me, it’s kinda awkward at first.
But then you have to realize, who cares?!

I think that you have a problem. Most people have this problem. And it involves you needing reassurance from others about who you are and what you look like. Because its your height (just like if you looked chinese, or albino, etc) there is not alot you can really do about it (like cutting your legs or the like). You need to learn to love who you are and what you have. It is hard to not be affected by the media and our programming of what beautiful, pretty, normal, etc is. Part of the cure for this is realizing that what others think is important but not half as important as what you think and how you feel. The main thing is to figure out what type of person you are:
are you a pig, a sheep, or a wolf.
