Hey! I'm 5'10" and the tallest guy I've dated is about 6'1". I've dated someone about an inch shorter than me and then two other guys only about an inch taller. It kind of bothers me when the guy is shorter, but it's not a big deal. If the guy is nice and you like him, it's worth it! Although I don't think I would date anyone more than an inch or so shorter than me.0

I am 6" and once dated a guy who was 5'2". We just didn't stand up a lot!

Lol see im confident enough to do it but the standing up part lol is what gets me... the shortest ive ever dated was probably about three inches shorter then me so I had to see if there was anyone else who had been through it lol0

My husband is a couple of inches shorter than me, and I've dated really short guys before (before I got married, obviously). I figure a guy's got to be pretty secure to date a taller woman. My husband sure is. Works for me. I like feeling like an Amazon anyway.
Personally, I don't care what a guy looks like as long as he has the qualities I'm looking for -- intelligence, geekiness, compassion, a sense of humor, etc. That's much more important to me than height. Who cares what other people think?0 -
My husband is like 1" shorter than me, but he doesn't seem to care. In fact he loves when I wear heels.0

Hubby is about 4-5 inches shorter than me (depending on shoes and the time of day); been together 13 years next month. At first it was a little weird to me, I always assumed I'd be with someone my Dad's size (6'4"0. Then I went through the "feeling like Amazonian arm candy" phase and loved it! If you like him, GO FOR IT! It just takes a little time to get used to how you fit together... holding hands while walking or in the car, snuggling on the couch or in bed... that kind of stuff!0

My husband's about 2-3" shorter than me, I don't mind it! A man does have to be very confident and secure to date a woman taller than him I think. He gripes about his height occassionally bc he's short, but doesn't complain that I'm taller than him. He loves referring to me as his supermodel wife 0

I've never dated a taller guy. I'm 5'11'' and my current boyfriend is 5'4''. We don't care. He loves that I'm tall and that's part of what attracted him to me in the first place (that and the star wars tats haha). Other people look at us sometimes but who cares? Someone has to be shorter, it's rare for people to be exactly the same height. I'm not a fan of these gender stereotypes. I'm taller, make more money, and he's shorter and more emotional. I love it.0

I'm 5'9" and my boyfriend is 5'6". He is the love of my life, and when I'm with him, I don't even notice the height difference! You shouldn't hold back from dating someone just because society tells you that it's weird to date a shorter guy. Those are old social norms that aren't important anymore. Women can make more money than men. Women can be stronger than men. And women can definitely be taller than men! Do your thing, girl, and don't worry about the rest!!

I'm 5'9" and had a 5'5" boyfriend before I met my husband... I loved it, I always felt like a total supermodel being the taller one Hubby now is maybe 2 inches taller but I still get to tower over him when I wear heels. Short men are just as hot as tall men IMO. If you're attracted to each other who cares, give him a chance! 0

I get asked out often by shorter guys as well. Doesn't seem to bother them, I am trying to get over it still. Gave one a shot and he sure was fun. :bigsmile:0

I am 5'9 and my BF is 2-3" shorter than me, it doesn't bother me but I think it bothers him so I usually don't wear my high heels out on dates0
-
Personally I don't feel very comfortable with it but I've never turned a guy down just because of his height. (One guy was like 5'1") I prefer people to be taller than me in general so I'm definitely more attracted to taller guys. Someone over 6ft would be great 0

I tried dating shorter men and it never worked out. In the beginning they seemed ok with the height difference but then they started changing. Not wanting me to wear heels when we went out and stuff like that. I cant deal with that I so stopped dating men shorter than me a long time ago.0

i married my shorter man0

Check out my profile pic.. I am 6" taller than my husband. He loves it,, he even loves when I wear heels! I have never really been bothered by our height difference. We were voted cutest couple on campus in college. 0

It does bother me...so I just tend to wear flats more often than heels. It doesn't change how you feel about the person though, right? It's all perception. Do what you want and what makes you happy! 0

This has always been a hang up for me. When I was younger I felt like I was being really shallow by not dating shorter men. Now I realize that I just don't feel feminine with shorter men. I have accepted it and feel totally ok with it.0

I am 6 feet tall. I have dated men taller than me. I have dated men an inch or two shorter. The little bit shorter is okay but I do prefer my height or taller. My opinion is do what makes YOU happy!0

I have to agree with you, though an inch or two has never been a *big* issue, I'm just more attracted to taller men. I don't think its shallow at all.0
