      My husband is shorter than me also. If you like him go for it!

      Well I'm 5'11" so a guy who is 5'2" I have no attraction to whatsoever, but a guy who is 5'10" is acceptable. So what I'm saying is that the 5'2" is acceptable for you, at least in my opinion.

      Thissssss, especially if he's cute! Height don't matter when your horizontal!!

      My husband is 2 inches shorter, maybe 3...it isn't a big deal.

      No deal. I'm 5'9 and I STILL don't date guys shorter than me
      What about the same height? I'm 5'9'' but I'm not a little guy at all! plus I could toss you around like a toy:wink:

      I'd date a guy shorter than me because, even though I'd prefer taller, I can still be attracted to someone enough based on other things (like what you mentioned) enough to not care about height. I think a few inches is a very silly thing to let an amazing guy go for, but I suppose it will be your loss.

      My husband is 5'2"ish; I'm 5'3". We both have a great sense of humor about it. We joke that we're a little hobbit family. I come from a tiny family anyway, though. My dad is 5'3". My brother is the tallest in the entire family at 5'5". I usually tell people I come from mountain goat gymnast stock. It's true. :) If it bothers you, well, then you have your answer. If not, you could be very happy.

      I'm 5' exactly and I have never met a guy shorter than me!!!

      If I did it just wouldn't work out:/ Who would get the **** out of the cabinets that I can't reach??

      Def not insecure, I love my height...
      I just dont find it attractive.

      Thats my deal breaker... Mentally hes amazing... physically im finding it hard to deal with.

      I think if you're not attracted then you're not attracted, you can't force it. But don't write him off entirely, if you become friends he may grow on you and you may date him in the future ;-)

      Ehhh.... Lol.

      LOL. I'm in the AF and being "toned" is definitely not something I see as a given amongst the any of us, women or men.
      Guys who work out will work out regardless of being in the military or not. Guys who don't like to workout won't work out, regardless of being in the military or not.

      I've been waiting for this one to pop up. No one is allowed to compare men and women in any way, shape, or form anymore, without it being sexist and in some way an indicator of some conspiracy in which men hold women down for their own benifit.


      MOST women like the feeling of being protected and sheltered that a taller boyfriend gives (don't worry, the fact that you're setting women's rights back 50yrs is ok with us men). MOST men like the feeling of protecting and sheltering they get when their girlfriend is shorter (I guess this makes us sexist pigs...sadly).

      Which is it... there's no such thing as the patriarchy, or you're okay with the women's movement being set back?

      Confusing.

      It may be an issue for some. I'm short (5'2) and have never dated anyone close to my height. I usually stuck with the taller guys and my husband is significantly taller than me. It all comes down to personal preference.
    • Posts: 3,749 Member
      No.

      But then again I am 5'2.

      I have never gone for guys who were shorter than me. I like the protected feeling I get from a tall guy.

      I'm 5'7" and my guy is 5'5".
      I'd be a complete idiot if I tossed this gem of a man aside because of a height difference.
      He didn't let it be an issue for him either, thank goodness.

      I'm barely 5'1.A guy would have to pretty small to be shorter than me..I've.only met one in my entire life that was and he was tiny tiny.. like 4'9 and looked like he weighed about 70 lbs.. he was the size of a jockey. It made we feel like an amazon lol. But hey if he's a great guy and you like him it should not matter. Personally I have always been attracted to the tall dark and handsome type.. my husband is 5'11.. not super tall but plenty tall enough for me.

      I don't think an inch should matter. However, if it's a dramatic difference and it makes you feel uncomfortable or you are not attracted to him because of it, then obviously it would be an issue. I just don't think I would notice one inch in height.

      I'm 5'9" and want my guy to be as tall or taller than me when I'm in my heels. But do whatever feels right for you!

      nope never never

      In theory I don't have an issue w/ a man being shorter than me, but realistically, I would be arrested b/c only 8yr old boys are shorter than me! :noway: :laugh:

      shorter than me = not my preference & to whoever says 'i wouldn't date girls that are shallow like you' - that's just ridiculous. everyone has preferences ... everyone! even on a subconscious level. anyways, the reason i wouldn't is because i am 5'3 - it's hard to find guys shorter than that. i will admit my head placed in a mans chest with his arms wrapped around me does make me feel safe and protected - secure in the world - does it set women's rights back 50 years? yah a bit extreme with that comment buddy. feeling that comfort is important to a lot of women i know - so who cares if she finds it in a tall man? other people find it in how built a guy is or how attractive he is - guys find it in women that can cook or dress a certain way. but i do agree - if a man came into my life who made me feel that way and was my size or smaller i would give it a go for sure.

      I don't think something like height should get in the way of things if you like the person.

      This.

      I agree with THIS part.

      hmmm, being 5' I've never had the problem! But if he's a great guy then I wouldn't let that bother me.

      my husband is 3" shorter than me :) LOVE HIM (height shouldnt matter, just see where it goes)
    • Posts: 1,051 Member
      I'm so glad that even though I have the disposition of being fat... I am tall and have never met a woman taller than I am.

      Um.. really? What's wrong with short dudes? How would it feel if some guy said he wouldn't date you because you were too tall? Too short. Too big boned. Too narrow-shouldered. Your eyes were too green. Your hair was too light. I mean... I understand preference, but seriously? I don't understand how anyone could be so shallow as to let a wonderful person slip through their fingers just because he was "too short."

      I don't know. Maybe I'm biased.

      No offense to any of the men out there, but shorter than I am (5'5) is a dealbreaker to me because my ex was shorter than me and had issues when I wore heels, so I spent two years not wearing heels when we went out together. But it's all about personality too and different individuals are attracted to certain things physically and emotionally.

      Can't force attraction. It's there, or not.

      If you're not happy with him let him go.

      I can't help but picture this guy getting patted on the head by some 6'5" tall girl.

      THIS!

      I am sorry but I need my man to be MAN height!
