The tidal force comes from the difference in gravity from one part of a body being close to the source of gravity and the other part being farther away. It just so happens the the Earth is large enough that the force of the moon's gravity on the near side is noticeably stronger than on the far side (actually it's more complicated but that is the general idea).

But you're only about 5 or 6 feet tall, so the gravity at your feet is about the same as the gravity at your head. In fact, if anything, the tidal force of the Earth would be the one affecting you, not the moon. Now, if you were 1000 km tall, you would feel something.

Expecially if its a full moon?
