Ladies, would you date someone shorter than you?

Elf_Princess1210

As a general rule, no. I prefer my men tall, but if the guy is a good person I'd consider it. I always dated guys based on their personality rather than their looks. I'm only 5'3", so the majority of men are taller than I am

nessagrace22

No! I know it really shallow but for me it's the taller the better, 6 foot plus preferably.

SorchaRavenlock

I'm 5'11'' and my husband is 5'7''. Honestly, I forget how short he is. I always thought I'd marry a tall guy - didn't want to feel like a giant next to hubs...but turns out, I don't. And he encourages me to wear high heels - he thinks it's hot, and it doesn't intimidate him at all. I don't know...maybe it's just my husband, but even though he's 4 inches shorter than I am, we can be dancing or cuddling and I've never felt my height around him.

I say, you see a tall girl that you are attracted to, go for it. If she rejects you because you're short...that's her problem for overlooking a large population of perfectly suitable men.

Same here. I'm almost half a head taller, but I never notice it when we cuddle or kiss. Our height difference has never been a problem for either of us.
We've been together for over 14 years now and have a beautiful daughter. He's a great father and wonderful husband. I'd hate to have missed out on such a wonderful man just because of his height, thank god I'm not that shallow.

OP, don't give up on taller women, we aren't all as silly to reject a man on a minor issue like that

Its totally depends on girl whether she is interested in you or not.

I am 5'6" and my ex was 5'4". It didn't bother me at the time but looking back at pics, I was always slouching.

Reminds me of a saying.

"When you're nose to nose, your toes is in it and, when you're toes to toes, your nose is in it."

ramgi

No I would not.

hesn92

I have in the past. I prefer someone taller though. I'm pretty tall.. 5'10.

amivox

yes, I would. But not if it was more than 2 or 3 inches. I would feel really awkward if I ever had to wear heels.

RavenhairedWoman

I'm 5'4 so it is not too often that I meet guys shorter than myself but I don't think I would rule someone out because they were shorter. I would if they were too tall though. Too tall and it is awkward to kiss and hold hands. So yeah, I think 5'6 to 5'11 is my ideal range really if I ever get back into the dating game.

LAWoman79

No, I wouldn't, but I am 5'3. I think only 8 year olds are shorter than me, and I'm not going there.

asdandme

All depends on the guy. I dated a marine who was 5'5,I am 5'10,he oozed sexy and didn't care he couldn't put his arm around my shoulders ,He put them around my waist and pull me in. He did request I not wear heels. Another guy 5'7 was aways trying to make me shorter and would get mad that I wanted to stand up straight.Then again I 've had several guys 5'10-6' tell me I was perfect but too tall.I had one tell me women shouldn't be taller than 5'6 lol.

penrbrown

I'm 5'10... if I refused to date men shorter then me I'd be screwing myself over. haha.

Sometimes shorter men can be attractive to me, sometimes they're not. I assume this must mean I'm attracted to something other then their height.

Ideally I'd like a guy taller then me... just because I feel more delicate around taller men. Silly, I know, but I like feeling smaller now and then and because of my height, no matter how thin I am, I always feel huge.

TadaGanIarracht

I'm 5'9 and I have been taller than most of the men I've dated but it doesn't bug me. It's something I've just learned to accept since I am tall.

BaDaSsBrUnEtTe

im pretty short to begin with only 5'3', so no i wouldnt really be interested in anyone shorter than me. however my husband is only 1 inch taller than me, but i kind of like that hes my size

Birder150

I'm 5'7" and my bf is 5'5".
The heart of a man is so much more important to me than his height.

Bucky83

No...but that's because I'm five foot two and it's unlikely I would find a guy shorter than me. Besides, I find tall, bulky men very sexy.

WhatAgirl_

I'm 5'0 so NOOOOOOOOO ...... They need to be at least 6'0 for me thats what I like but if the guy is really nice, then height is just a number

CarolinaGirlinVA

I have dated men from 5'2" to 6'5". I am 5'4" and to be honest, I prefer shorter guys because they are easier to kiss. However, there are ways to get around that! To be honest, confidence wins every time!

pitbulllover

I'm 6'. My husband's 5'7. It's never bothered me.

caraiselite

Ok, so my height has worked against me on several occasions. I never pursue a woman taller than 5'6" because of my height. I assume shorter guys are not on their radar, plus short girls make me feel taller.

So i ask, am I wrong to assume that, would you date someone shorter than you?

yes, i would.

catshark209

At 5'2" not many are shorter than me, so I probably wouldn't. My ex husband is only 5'5" and his height never bothered me. My partner is 6'3" and it doesn't bother me either.

My ex was 5'5". I'm 5'11". The height difference really didn't play a part in my attraction to him.

sazzyp1973

I am only 5ft so it is slim pickings for men shorter than me, so no, I usually date taller!

meshashesha2012

i wouldn't sorry. i usually already feel like a she hulk around most other women, i dont want to feel like i could squish my man too. i'd like to feel dainty at least some time during the day :laugh:

oh yeah i'm 5'5 so not tall but i've been mistaken for taller i think because of how i carry myself

helloiloveukitty

I might, but honestly it's a turn off for a guy to be shorter than me. I strongly prefer men 6'2" or over. I'm almost 5'8". I'd overlook it if I was really drawn to him despite that though...

Nor would I be offended if someone didn't want to date me because I was too tall / short / slim / fat / whatev...some peoples preferences are stronger than others.

FireballStrike

Being 5'4 means most men are taller...Gotta say I love gettin' on tip toes for a kiss. However, I wouldn't mind being eye to eye barefoot....if he didn't mind me being 4 inches taller in my heels.

OP - It's really about you! If you are attracted to a girl taller than you, go for it! Life is too damn short!

jaimrlx

I'm 5'2... so excuse me for being shallow here, but no. Then again, it's not very hard to be taller than I. I would date a guy 5'4 and above, probably. Good luck, OP.

:drinker:

munkey418

Sadly no I prolly wouldnt (and I havnt) maybe if he was perfect in every other way (and by perfect I mean has all the other qualities that matter to me) but I have yet to see it. Im 5'7 and my husband is 5'11 or 6'0. My mom though is 5'8 and my dad was 5'3 (i say was because hes now much closer to 5'0. yes hes shrinking... ) Nothing really against shorter men, i have no legit reason for not dating them.

OP Id still give it a go with taller women. There are prolly a lot of tall women missing out on great men

kat2475

I have dated guys that were exactly my height (5'4") and my husband is only 5'8" so I guess I'm not against dating short men.
