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?

    Are you attracted to women taller than you?

    ETA: And no, I don't typically go for shorter guys, but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

    Oh I have been before, but for reasons already mentioned, I just never acted on it.

    I am barely 5'4" and when I was dating I dated someone who was 5'5" once. His height didn't bother me. The fact that he was kind of crazy did though.

    My ex SIL was madly in love with my brother who is only 5'6" and she was 5'9". She thought he was the sexiest man ever.

    i'm 5'6" and was rejected solely on my height before.

    seems like an arbitrary thing to judge someone by, and i was certainly angry about it at the time - but i guess people are attracted to what they are attracted to. I dated a woman for a while who was 5'10".

    I ended up marrying a woman who is 5'2" -- but her "type" used to be someone taller than me.

    How tall are you?
    Also I think it's about confidence. If a tall woman makes you feel inadequate, says more about you to be honest.

    I actually always preferred someone shorter than myself.

    I do right now. I'm 5'8, he's 5'4. For me, it's all about personality. He owns who he is and that is SO sexy.

    I love guys that are shorter than me... I do find that shorter guys are more hesitant to approach me so I have to be more flirtatious with them. I am 5'8" so it does limit who approaches me...

    I'm only 5'10". Back in the 70's I briefly dated a gal that was 6'4" . When I say briefly, I mean 1romantic date. Was awkward kissing her good night. Had to stand on the front step of her parents' house.

    Didn't work out romantically, but we are still best friends 40 years later.

    I'm 5'-0 and I've always dated guys taller than me. But at my height everyone is taller than me, but I have dated guys around 5'-6". My current boyfriend is 5'-10"

    My partner is about an inch shorter (maybe a bit more) than I am and I am 5' 4". The funny thing is that I didn't realize he was shorter than I was for quite a long time (we've been together 4 years).

    I guess it's because I look up to him in so many more ways than just actual inches.

    I'm only 5'0, so if a guy were shorter than me, I probably wouldn't date him. That being said, I don't really care about height if the guy is 5'0 or taller hah :)

    Yes because I don't go by a guys height but rather his personality whether he has a good heart.

    I'm 5'8 and my bf of 2 years is about 5'5 or 5'6. I don't really care about height. I've dated shorter, same height, taller...in MY opinion it's pretty shallow to judge someone's date-ability based on their height. There are so many more important things.

    I won't date anyone shorter than about 5'8". I am 5' tall. I see lots of couples where the girl is taller so everyone is different. If you see someone tall that you like than go for it you never know she might like shorter guys.
