So I’ve been struggling with dating a lot and I’m so frustrated with my dating life. I’ve been rejected, hurt and have a date with a guy. We’ll it wasn’t much of a date because he said he had to use the ‘bathroom’, but 10-15 minutes later, he never came back. I’m 6’4 barefoot and yes I am a young woman. I was born a female and NOT transgender. One time a guy asked that I was boiling mad inside. When I wear my heels (for example my four inch heels) I am about 6’8” and people look at me like a freak. When my friends that are 5’9 and under wear heels nobody gives them funny looks, well they do to my 5’9” friend sometimes but that’s nothing compared to me.
I’ve went on dates, but I never had a second date until I met my ex boyfriend. I had a boyfriend that I dated for two months and he was into me a lot. He was 5’7” but he didn’t care about my height and we were in LOVE, until things went downhill. He started being distant towards me, cold, uncaring and insulting my height. He even told me not to wear heels and I’m trying to emasculate him and it was embarrassing. Then he started telling people that I’m his “friends” and later flat out dumped me.
i took myself out of dating for a while. He dumped me earlier this year. I do want to date a guy that’s taller than me but the taller guys seem to prefer women under 5’7”. Mostly shorter men hit on me but once in a while. I’m not shallow I’ve went on dates with shorter guys and my ex is shorter me. I mean hello! There’s some taller guys that showed interest in me, but don’t wanna be in love, they just saw me as a breeder and once said I could breed a basketball team. Anyways, for once I want to meet a man that will accept me for who I am and doesn’t wanna be with me just because of my height.
Girl sorry but you are too tall even for male standarts it is of course emasculating and i get why guys only aproaches you out of horniness since with that height it is a whole another genre and i am not sure i can give you any advice or say anything to console you if you are as King about the dating thing but if you ask about self esteem and things like that i would say confidently accept it, embrace it, let it be what makes you different and special, Bask in the glory of it since what you have is having more of something not lacking it you have one of the things that is considered good don't let your gender ly expectations ruin it for you, i for a fact would kill to be your height 2-3 years ago (now i kinda get used to my height even though since i can get used to your height too i think i might still want your height lol) but i am not even reaching 6ft, i won't say forget about guys but i kinda think what you need to do is that cuz dating is a drag even for People with unremarkable features let alone someone with unorthodox features.

You are true to your name then.
I’m 6’5, and have gotten the same harsh treatment from women with whom I have a large height difference and I also understand how this limits our dating pool.
Tall people should date tall people, we are to few already.
Hang in there. You are special and desirable. Don't get down just because people can't see that far.
What Guys Said
No, there are plenty of guys who would be happy to date you and get to know you as a a person.
At 6'4" you are in the 99th percentile in height for American women.
Comparing this to a man who is shorter than average he would have to be about 5'2" to be in the 1 percentile range for male height.
I think men of that height will experience similar problems meeting women that you are experiencing meeting men.
People are not used to men that short or women as tall as you are and it may make them uncomfortable until they get to know you better. After all, even without such differences it's hard to meet people of the opposite sex and have relationships.
I'm sorry some men have treated you so callously. There is no reason for that. I can understand your frustration. A lot of people are very shallow. But it doesn't matter because that's not the guy for you anyway.
But remember that people of average height also experience lots of relationship issues and difficulty meeting and forming deep relationships. Maybe try to focus less on your height yourself (I know that must be difficult) and focus more on taking things slow and not assuming that you will be rejected just because you are tall. After a while it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and you may be sabotaging yourself by dwelling on it even if you don't realize that you are.
You sound to me like you have a lot to offer. Keep the focus on the positive and sooner or later it will lead to success.
I hope you can find someone serious. There are guys shorter than you that would date you.
It's not easy for many people, and we all have our reasons. So just accept the lumps like all of us. It sounds like good advice to not wear heels for now.
okay- I am very married but I would have no issue dating somebody taller than me. I am 6 feet tall and dated somebody that was my height. She was big all over and very strong. She was a collegiate swimmer. I thought she was beautiful.
I bet you have a great sense of humor and you would be an amazing girlfriend. I know this sounds trite but someday you will find somebody that will be just right for you.Let's be real , your height is super rare for a girl.. you need a very tall guy or a shorter guy who's cool with it.. although I wouldn't recommend it because he probably won't be genuine.. it's gonna be harder for you to find someone , it's just what it is.. but good news is there's a lot of really tall guys 6'4 and up.. maybe give dating apps a try..
Yea, it's very masculine height, a lot of guys are looking weak next to you.
You posted this already. I repeat what I wrote then. If you’re trying to add high heels to your 6‘4 you are sabotaging yourself. Wear flat shoes and go after the tall guys.
Do you have a picture showing your proportions?My ex was 6'5" and I am shorter than that. I didn't care nor did she. We broke up over things unrelated to her height or mine, and we are still good friends.
It is possible to find a man who won't care and who will love you for who you are.I am six two plus a fraction. If we were near the same age and lived near each other. I wouldn’t have a problem with spending time to get to know you and possibly dating.
I was raised in an old farmhouse and had to watch my head going from room to room. Plus the cellar was really low. When I built my house. I made sure that I wouldn’t have to watch bumping my head! I feel for you. Good luck in finding a guy to appreciate you.I dated a woman who was 6'3" she frequently wore 6" heels when we went out... another inch makes no difference. Sorry you're having a shite time meeting guys, but they're out there.
