Last week I answered how to bone a tall guy in the shower. Today, we take a step back from the waterworks and explore something a bit less intercoursey: Hugging.
I was going to say far less intimate, but I know for many hugging is very intimate. I remember when me and Mrs. FG first met, we had a few awkward hugs, even after we made out. There's something bizarre and uniquely confidential in hugging a new person. It's like two bodies kissing. Where do the hands go exactly? Where does the face go? When does the hug end?
Regarding the very short hugging the very tall -- most recently captured in this vertically challenged pair, heavy weight Vladmiair Klitchko and Hayden Panettiere.
The lack of symmetry can get funny. But attraction and body smacking comes in all sizes.
There's no denying that a part of you (the woman) will feel at times, a wee bit 3rd grader hugging Daddy - to some extent. Your face will be buried somewhere in the man's mid-chest and your arms will sling around his waist. And, there's no deying there will be times, when he'll likely lift you up, making the hug more of a mid-air cuddle.
But eventually, the two of you will find a way to make the hugs feel adult and sweet - meaningful and equal. You will never hover over him, but you both will play your parts. It will feel right, even though to any bystander it will look cuckoo.
Think about it - if tall guys were unhuggable how could the Kardashains express intimacy? How could Abe Lincoln relax? How could Will Ferrell be so friggin' cuddly?
My bf and I have about a 14 inch height difference (he's 6'4) and after many awkward hugs early on, we've found that it is much easier for him to hug me while holding me up in the hug at the same time bc of how far he would have to bend (also depending on how long hug lasts)..otherwise we stick to the side hug...
heyy!! Thanks for the comment, it really helped me to visualise things lol :) so from your comment I deduced that ur 5 feet tall. I myself am about 4 feet 10 inches and 18 yrs old so I dont think I'll grow anymore- will height affect my ability to get a boyfriend? any tips on how to be confident and not let my shortness get in the way? I'm always scared guys will view me as a little girl. thanks!!!
Of course it won't damage your chances of getting a boyfriend! You can work it to your advantage, men are less likely to be intimidated by you and if you don't behave like a little girl they're unlikely to treat you as one, although you may get some finding you cute and wanting to protect you more than they would otherwise that might not be a bad thing!
Me and my boyfriend hug and I just lean the side of my head on his midchest, while he lowers his head on the top of mine. We don't need to be face to face to enjoy a hug, we simply enjoy eachother's embrace.
I'm 4'11 and in response to Sahika, NO! IT WILL NOT PREVENT MEN FROM LIKING YOU. You're cute and little, so work it, girl! My boyfriend is about 5'10 or so and it works out great, but I've dated super tall guys and was in a wedding with a near-giant and it was fine. You just make it work. People come on all shapes and sizes. People are rude and say all sorts of things to you all of the time (it doesn't really stop) but just brush it off and enjoy buying cheaper children's pants.
ah, what about the reverse....in heels, i'm the same height or taller then my guy, and hugs are awkward. i miss feeling like a dainty lil thing wrapped up in man arms. do i go low, and nuzzle his chest? do my arms go around his neck? what's the protocol for a guy that's 5'6"?
Yeah, dump him! Why the hell would a woman even want to date short man? Do they want there kids to have inferior genes? Men under 6 feet should be illegal to date lol
I know your problem! I had an ex that I was taller than even without heels (I didn't break up with him because he was short, what a ludicrous suggestion) we'd usually hug sitting down or I'd take my heels off when I wanted a proper man-hug.
Otherwise I'd stand on tip toes and he'd happily squish his head into my boobs. I think he appreciated my height quite a bit when that happened :p
My boyfriend stands at least a foot taller than me. He either picks me up to hug me, or I stand on the tips of my toes just so he doesn't have to bend down as much. Or we just hig and cuddle on a couch. So much easier there c: And in his opinion, he says he prefers girls my height, rather than the same height as him. I highly doubt you'd miss out on any guys due to being a little (no pun intended) on the short side.
Guys, especially tall guys, definitely LOVE short girls, so please do NOT feel self-conscious about your height if you think you are a bit on the short side. In fact, guys love short girls so much, we tall girls kind of hate you for stealing the only men that are actually taller than us :-) I joke of course, I would never hate someone because of their physical stature, but I think you get my meaning: short is not a shortcoming when it comes to dating men of any height! :)
Wow, I'm a tall girl and I wished I had this problem! Tall guys always seem to date really short women, and the short guys usually don't date us because they're intimidated.
I now have a very short bf who is around 5'6" (I'm 5'11") and he has NO problem with my height, nor I with his. Hugs are good. It was weird at first to lean down to kiss him, but now I'm used to it. Since we're long distance, I'm just happy when I get to!
I dated a guy who was 6'8"...I'm 5'3" on a good day. Yup, hugs (and kisses) were challenging at first, but everything worked out just lovely. Sometimes, he would just pick me up and we'd have a mid-air cuddle, but we found a couple other options as well. One trick that works great are stairs! If you stand a couple of steps higher than he does, you're more eye-to-eye. Tada, hug (or kiss) to your heart's content.
Alas, if there are no stairs, the couch works great. If you're at a point in the relationship where you're comfortable sitting on his lap, then just hop on and hug him. While he's sitting, just straddle his lap. See, that's just fun for everybody!
