Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy,
I am dating a great guy. I am 5'4" but have always preferred men 5'10" or taller. He’s more like 5'6" since we were eye-to-eye with my flat shoes on.
I feel awkward with our height being so close. I was raised to “look up” to my man and all my friends and family are with taller men. I went on more dates with him because I thought it was shallow to discount all of his good qualities just because of his height. He is charming, funny, intelligent, we have similar values, can talk for hours and we have amazing sexual chemistry.
My friends, family, and even the professionals say to get over it and height means nothing but they are not married to or dating a short man, including you. What advice can you give women in my situation to get over this stigma so we don’t sabotage a good thing because of a few inches?
