    I'm 5'3" and honestly I've never in my 28 years met a guy shorter than I am. Oddly enough, I have never dated a guy shorter than 5'8"...

    I'm 5"4' and I only dated guys around my height - shorter than me, my height or a little taller. I loved that we were around the same height for hugging and cuddling. Somehow I ended up marrying my husband who is 6"3'. But I secretly still think short guys are sooooo sexxxy!!!

    He'd have to be pretty freaking awesome. I'm 5'9" as it is, and I love to wear heels. Some guys find this intimidating/emasculating/whatever.

    Considering I'm 4' 10 1/2", this would be a difficult person to find. But in general, I really don't care about height.

    I hope no one takes offense, but I know several happy couples where the woman is tall and overweight, and the man is short, skinny, and balding. I kinda figured that in a society that values smaller, skinny women and taller, muscular, non-balding men, the people who least fit those ideals tend to wind up together.

    I'm 5'9" and when I *look* at guys on "hotness" alone, I do tend to like tall, somewhat muscular (but not muscle-bound) men. However, when I'm actually talking to someone in the real world, I don't really care how tall they are. I care about *who* they are, how well they take care of themselves and how they treat me. Anything else, we can work around it. :-)

    I wouldn't date someone shorter than me.

    But, that's because I'm already married - and my husband is about an inch shorter than me.

    It doesn't bother me, and I'm sure there would be lots of women who will not care about your height - if you're a nice guy (and I'm sure you are :wink:) they'll see that.
    On the other hand if you're a complete jerk, then that would be why they wouldn't like you, not for your height!

    Yes, why not That's personality that matters, not the height. I was thinking man shall be taller at least half a head then a woman in university. Now it's not important. feel free to approach whomever you want. If a girl would not date you for the fact you are shorter she is a compelte idiot-not a big loss for you

    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?

    My honey is 5'6" and I am 5'9" and it works for us :wink:

    Nope. I did once. That relationship lasted 2 weeks, I felt like an amazonian warrior next to him!

    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.

    My opinion always was if the guy was within a few inches of my height it would be no issue. I have kind of mentally screened out shorter guys (because I feel big to them). If I were single then I would not screen out a guy just because he is shorter. A good date (or relationship, marriage) is about so much more than a few inches of height. You never know what you might miss out on.

    Im 5ft 9". My partner is 5ft 11". She is a ehole 2 inches taller than me. Doesn;t bother me in the slightest. She doesn;t like wearing heels when she is out with me, but she doesn;t wear heels all that much anyway.

    She has no problem at all with it. She is one of those tall lean model looking people( I hate her really lol)

    I'm 5'4" and I've dated a few guys who were my height. I actually didn't mind it because it's easier to smooch. :p I dunno if i could go much shorter than what I currently am tho.
