He's self conscious of his height and people are staring at him alot. What can I do to ease him. He says he likes being tall but hates the stares. It's not a huge deal but I'd like to help him to make light of it. It's not like some big hurtful thing but it's aggravating for him to deal with. Anyway, now that he's with me, WE get stares and that bugs me. any advice on why this might bother us?

My fiance is 6'4" and i'm only 5'5" so i feel you on that one.
Personally i love the height difference. I like that i have to stand on my tip toes to kiss him. So if i were you i'd just make him feel like you'd never want him shorter. That you love how tall he is and that it's very attractive to you how much taller he is. Give him a little self confidence about it.
And if you really have problems with it wear high heels. During the first few mts i dated my fiance i wore boots all the time. They had a platform and i'd cover them with my jeans so that you didn't' know it was all heel and it looked like a more "normal" height difference.
At this point i wear flip flops around him and he's comfortable. I call him my big teddy bear and will joke with him about how i have to jump up to kiss me. So eventually your guy will just get comfortable with it. Personally i find height very sexy on a guy. I love that when i stand next to my fiance w/o shoes on my head just reaches his chest.
Good Luck!

people are loving his height and because he's got a short g/f, it makes you the even cuter couple. besides you can still wear heels and he'll be taller than you! when you catch someone staring, just smile and wave at them, both of you. ya'll should be proud of who you are, and don't let no one make you think different. there is a guy at my school who is 6'9" and his g/f is 4'10". he has to pick her up to give her a kiss goodbye, and she can't even hitch a playful piggy-back ride without him having to kneel to the ground! lol, but it shouldn't bother you, altho it may because you are just not used to it. pretty soon they will become part of everyday life for you guys, and once people get used to seeing you and stop staring so much, i'll bet you might just miss it!

People are retarded and stare at people who are different there is really nothing you can do. I am light skinned and smaller but my dad and brother are really dark and huge tall guys. Whenever I go out with them I notice people stare at them. One day I ask my dad don't you ever get annoyed or angry. He said he's used to it and the only reason they stare is because they are intimidated. It sucks but it is part of life.

I kind of have the same problem, but in reverse. I'm only 4'11", and my girlfriend is 6'7", she's a professional basketball player. We get stares all the time , but have been dating for 2 1/2 years now and are quite used to it. It shouldn't matter if you love each other, we have grown accustomed to it now. Once she did hit a guy though and bust his jaw, but she's learned to contain her anger now.

It might bother you because you get stared at. Try growing another foot and maybe you will get looked at a little less. A 14 inch difference is pretty big.

Tell him the simple truth. Most guys would give their eye teeth to be 6'5". He is very lucky. If people stare, they are only admiring his height.

My friend is 6'9" and laughs at his height. Tell him to get over it and imagine how short people feel, I'm talking about under 5" and over the age of 18.

Well I wish there was a nicer way to word this and I do not mean harm with it at all...but it is what it is....YOU CANT SAW your legs shorter so be happy with who you are....I'm 5ft2in and had the same insecurity in a guy I dated who was 6'7" but he got over it the more I made nothing of it....I hope that made sense to you...

Stares are not generally considered friendly. The are rude. stare back.
