Well I'm 5'7 only and I can understand why tall guys might be apprehensive dating a guy much smaller than they are.
For me I probably wouldn't date a guy much taller than me (not that I'd ever find myself in this kind of situation in real life lol) because I'd feel like a child next to him or that he was baby sitting me or something haha.
To each their own I suppose but if I had to raise my arm a fair amount to hold their hand that would make me feel like I'm a kid.
Thankfully I'm not a physical kind of person anyway.

I'm 5'7" and I could careless about height. Well,ideally I'm into taller guys,but I'm with a shorter (5'6" - roughly almost the same) guy now and I'm totally okay with that. He's the more dominant guy too,and I find it a turn on for shorter guys to be more dominant.

Lex, has the height issue between you and you guy evolved into your own little jokes and "little things" that you guys do?

No one seems to pay much attention to height difference in relationships between men and women, why should it be an issue in a relationship between men? I mean seriously, superficial much? There are a hell of a lot of other things on the "compatibility index" to worry about besides height...

We joke a lot, but never about height. Not because it's a sore spot or anything - it just never really developed along those lines. The only two things I can think of are these:

* When he's cooking, and needs something from the high shelves in the kitchen, he says "Lex! Come be tall for me." I have orangutang arms in addition to being taller, so I can reach most of the stuff there.

* We're not much into PDAs, but when we want to give each other one, or just a quick affirmation of love at home, he stands near me, and I kiss his forehead. Because that's what level he's at, and it means no bending up or down for either of us.

On a teen/young adult LGBTQ site that I work on, somebody ran a poll. The number of gay guys who said they wanted a taller partner? 95%.. A large number said they'd refuse to date a guy who wasn't at least a certain height, even if he was compatible in every other way. One guy bemoaned the fact that he desperately wanted a taller boyfriend, but since he was 6'4" he was doomed to always be the taller one.

In short (tee hee!), it looks like young gay guys ARE size queens - just not in the way we expected. One assumes many of them outgrow this as they get older.

If I ever get a boyfrool, I'd like him to be my height. I want someone I can push around / subjugate.

That's a joke, btw. Tall people intimidate me. I want someone short, like me, and really handsome. In short, I want someone who's too good for me, which shouldn't be too difficult. There's bound to be loads of boys with low self-esteem who I can seduce.
