The grand scheme of things, dating someone of a different height isn’t that big of a deal. And if you’re notably short or tall, you’ve probably been there, done that. Still, there are a few things to keep in mind if you’re starting a relationship with someone who is much taller—or shorter—than you.
Don’t be weird about height differences
“Don’t be weird” is solid advice that applies to pretty much every situation in life, but here, we’re specifically talking about two instances: Don’t be weird by constantly bringing up a date or partner’s height, and don’t be weird by actually fetishizing height.
Katie Jacobson, a 29-year-old visual artist near Minneapolis, explained, “I wish people knew that it’s weird. Society makes it weird. A lot of men assume that I’ve already dismissed them because I’m taller than them. They put that on me instead of just asking.”
At 5-foot-11, Jacobson is seven inches taller than the average American woman, so she has experience here.
