As an educated, successful, and well rounded guy I still find it painfully difficult to even get a date. I'm not unattractive or poorly groomed or anything like that I just happen to be 6ft 6in tall. Is this too intimidating or something for most women out there? The few girls I have dated say that the height was really something to get past. Why?

My husband is 6'4" and our 25-yr-old daughter is 6'. She has had lots of guys stop dating her because of her height (they told her!). Her current boyfriend is about 5"6', and he seems a little touchy about the height difference still.
I've never known any chicks who thought a guy was too tall to date. The dean at our local university is close to 7 ft, and he is married.
Keep busy taking classes, learning to play an instrument, going to plays, etc. You'll encounter someone who loves your personality and enjoys the same things you do. Hey, I've been with my husband 27+ yrs, so compatible people are out there!
Best of everything!

Tall is a great thing. I have a girlfriend who is 6 foot and has trouble finding decent guys that are taller than her...what state do you live in?
To answer your question, it's all a matter of personal preference...there is nothing wrong with your height. Those girls just might have felt intimidated (maybe because they are insecure and with your height, I am sure most people notice you right away when you walk in a room. Maybe they couldn't handle the attention) but there are plenty of women out there that love tall men and wouldn't mind the attention...Keep searching and don't give up, I am sure your Mrs. Right is out there somewhere.
Good Luck

I mean it might b a turn off or difficult for some, but u shouldnt let it get to u..always be optimistic about it..I mean, itz how God made ya..appreciate it..and right around the corner will b a grl who will appreciate and luv u back..I personally dont think itz a problem. However, if I see that the guy is real insecure and hesitant towards everything just cause he's tall, that is a turn off. Yes, it is a very big disadvantage at times when u have to walk through a door and things like that, but thnk God that u have all ur senses 2 hands and 2 feet. Good Luck on finding that very special sum1!! =)

Well, I'm 5'4" and once dated a guy who was 6'9" for a short time. We couldn't really dance together (which I liked to do at the time) - it was awkward - and we had to be sitting to have a conversation - or he would sit and I would stand.
I liked him, but I guess the height difference did make things a little awkward for me. We never talked about it, the relationship just kind of fizzled. Your height is not a turn-off, so don't think that. Most women like tall men.

It might be an intimidation factor with shorter women; as for me, I'm 6' tall, and it's absolutely wonderful to meet someone taller than I am. I met an online aquaintance and his girlfriend some time ago, when they passed through town; he had to have been 6'8" -- my line of sight was around his shoulder. I couldn't stop chortling with glee through the whole lunch together, it was just so darned nice to have that different of a perspective.

Most girls like a taller girl. Now if you are into very short girls who need a ladder to see eye to eye with you, you might have a problem! Anyone who sees height as an obstacle is pretty superficial. Plus tall guys tend to be much hotter!

every woman have their own perspective...and honestly to some height might be an x factor, but the only way to avoid it is find someone that height don't matter to them. Go to the clubs and meet ladies there. i know a lot of women that likes guys who are really tall!!! nothing is wrong with it.

It sounds like you're looking in the wrong circles. Are you out looking for the party girls? If you are, maybe you should look for something more serious.
My cousin is like 4' 11" and her husband is over 6' tall, I can tell you height is not a factor.

Ever since I was younger, my bf's were taller then me. My fiance is 6'4 and I am 5'4! The only thing that should matter is how much you care about that person and the girls that said your height was an issue aren't lucky enough to have someone like you. Your girl will come your way and she will love you just the way you are...

If this makes you feel any better I'll tell you something bizarre. My wife and other women I know think that Jaws, in the 007 movies, is super hot because of his height and teeth. Just pitching at you, here. Perhaps this will give you a little hope.
