This is for all the ladies over 5'10" (Tall glass of water) - what is the shortest guy you would/have dated?

I dated a guy in college who was like 5'9. Awkward. Especially considering I like wearing heels!0

I'm 5ft 9 and dated a guy who was 5"5' for a bit. Whilst I know that's not massively short and I like to think I'm not that shallow, I felt like a giant and it made me really self-conscious so it was one of the reasons for not taking things very far with him. I know that makes me a bad person but I felt so silly when he had to stand on tip-toes to kiss me...0

I am almost 6'1 and the shortest I have dated is 5'10.0

I'm 5'9", my hubby claims 5'7" (but it's probably more like 5'6.5"). It's worked well for over 18 years so far. He could care less if I wear heels or not.
(Oops, I'm not 5'10" or taller. Disregard.)0 -
I am 5'9" and I have never dated a guy shorter than me. Shortest guy is probably 6'.0

I'm 5'10" and my exhusband was 5'7". When we started dating, I was about an inch shorter than him. I kept growing and he didn't. We were together for 7 years and, although I am a tomboy, it just didn't make me feel very feminine there at the end of the relationship. I never dated anyone less than 1 inch taller after him.0

That doesn't make you a bad person. We are allowed to be attracted to whomever we choose. My wife is 5'8" and I'm 6'2". We both like tall people. It's a taste preference. Even if I see an extremely pretty short lady I've never had any major interest.0 -
I'm 5-10 and I dated a guy who was about 5-4. It felt awkward to have to bend down to kiss him and I felt strange when we'd walk and hold hands; I'd look across and remember that I had to look down in order to see him :-/ We ended up parting, not because of the height difference but because of intellect difference; I'm a book nerd and he...wasn't. If I really, really like a guy, I don't really care about his height, but certain situations feel a bit strange. But I guess you get over it if you love one another!

i'm 5'6" and dated a couple tall women. I certainly didn't stop them from wearing heels. They wore them proudly. Thankfully they were not embarrassed of me (well, at least not because of my height).
There certainly were a couple who rejected me all together based solely on height (i have been rejected for other reasons too, don't get me wrong - there were a couple who said no because they didn't want to be seen with a short guy and said as much). That's fine with me. We all have preferences. Though, it doesn't feel great to be told "if you were only a bit taller."

I am with you, if there was chemisty; height wouldn't be an issue.0 -

Its okay, it still applies. I used to think, men cared more about height but seems like women care just as much.0 -

Its your preference and no one is judging. Besides, men like bad girls.0 -
I'm 5'6" so I have been turned down because of height. As in told your cute but I don't date shorter men. Dated women taller than me, tallest was probably 6 inches taller. I didn't mind and she didn't mind, I encouraged her to wear heels when ever she wanted to. We phased out and she ended up dating a friend of mine who was even shorter than I. God bless the tall lengthy women who don't give a ..... About height. If a women feel self conscious about her height I can't help her. But some of my most memorable young adults moments where with taller women. My wife is shorter than me, but it's because of personality and beauty over height. I would like to think we would work what ever the height.0

I'm 5'11. My husband is 5'6 and this September we'll have been married for 25 years. I always say I'm worth the climb. And let's just say he loves the slow dancing.
In my younger days, I dated shorter guys and taller guys. And yes, there is such a thing as the shorter guys with the Napolean Complex - thankfully they are rare (at least in my area). Interestingly to me, it was the taller guys who seemed to have the most problems with my height, or at least made comments all the time about it which led me to believe they had a hard time with it.
Nothing better for an amazon than to hear a shorter man say, "Goddamn I just LOVE tall women. Please wear the heels tonight."

I'm 5'11. In college I went out with someone who was 5'9, 5'10 in shoes. I never committed to him exclusively for a lot of reasons. One of those reasons was absolutely his height.
I married someone 6'3.50 -
As a 6'4" man, I find this interesting. Never thought about it from that perspective.0

I'm 5'9" (though my hair adds a good 4") and I briefly dated a guy who was 5'5" (we didn't split because of his height, though). I didn't see a problem with it. I mean, I generally prefer tall, thick guys, but if I like you enough, height isn't an issue.
He liked tall women, so obviously he didn't care about the height disparity, either.
The comments we received during our brief relationship were really irritating, though. It felt like everyone had an opinion on it, and rarely was it a nice one. He told me once that someone asked him if it dating taller women was emasculating and he awesomely replied, "I'm not insecure in my masculinity, so no."
