    I would date someone shorter than me, definitely. Also, I had a 6 foot 3 friend that married a 5 foot 2 man. Height difference didn't stand in the way of their relationship. :smile:

    Nope! Its even hard with someone my height or barely taller! Being shorter may also come with weighing less - which is NOT happening!! I'm 5'9" so it can be a challenge!! So the answer again is NOPE

    Seeing as how I am 5'3" it is hard to find guys shorter than me.

    But personally I like big men. The shortest was about 5'6'' and all my friends flipped because they are used to seeing me with guys who are at least 5'10" or taller, the tallest guy I've dated was 6'3".

    It is fun to feel all small and protected by a big strong man :blushing:

    Yes I will, and I had date someone shorter than me as long as he is self confident and don't let height get in the way of what he wants.

    I'm 5'9" and I've dated 5'5". It is not, however, my preference. And I do rule out those shorter than me when online dating to be honest.

    Dated and then married him. :bigsmile:

    After years of dating really tall guys, chemistry doesn't seem to know how tall we are. :laugh:

    My boyfriend IS shorter than me- although by like half an inch.

    I couldn't care less but believe me I get plenty of **** from family and friends about it.

    I think it's such a BS thing.. honestly who the hell gives a damn about height?!!!!

    It doesn't bother me, so long as it didn't bother him.

    I sure have...my husband is a little shorter than me.
    At 6'1' I sometimes had to compromise with the height thing lol I will say the most awkward situation was when I dated a man that was about 5''6'. That didn't last long....we looked soooo weird!

    Seeing as how I am 5'3" it is hard to find guys shorted than me.
    But personally I like big men. The shortest was about 5'^'' and all my friends flipped because they are more used to seeing me with people who are at least 5'10" or taller. My most recent guy is 6'3", it is fun to feel all small and protected by a big strong man :blushing:
    I have dated some guys who were over 6'. To me it was like kissing a giant :laugh:

    My husband is the same height as me. 5 feet 3 inches. I know...SHORT. Neither one of us mind at all. In fact I often wear high heels because I love them and that's fine too.

    I'm only 4' 10" and the only males I've ever met that were shorter than me have been about ten years old, so NO!

    However, I <feel> a lot taller than 4' 10" and did get to know a guy who was 5' 3" - even though he was theoretically taller than me, he felt smaller, and that was okay.

    Tallest guy I've dated was 6' 4" and that was just plain funny when we caught sight of a reflection of ourselves in a shop window or whatever. Crazy! :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'8".

    No problem with shorter guys as long as they don't have a complex about it.

    Don't even try to tell me what shoes to wear.

    I'm 5'5", I once dated a guy who might have been like 5'4.5" . It was not big deal, although I never wore really high heels with him.

    My bf now is like 5'7" or 5'8. He says tall girls intimidate him haha and he when I wear heels he always measures himself on me to see if I'm taller.
    I do prefer a guy to be taller than me (Makes me feel less bossy if that makes sense, I'm not less bossy but I feel like I am depending on the dude's height)

    But to answer your question, I would date a shorter guy, but I my height it's not often that I have...

    I'm only 5'1" so I wouldn't date anyone shorter than me. A guy would have to have at least 4" on me. And the height issue is no more arbitrary then the myriad other purely physical attributes that we use to choose mates. Women usually want to be able to feel small, feminie and protected. That's harder to pull off if your man is smaller than you.

    Tried it...and nope. Couldn't do it. I'm 5'9" so it's tough to find guys taller than me, but I feel HUGE if I date a guy shorter than I am. My husband BARELY made the cut at 5'10"!

    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 :)
    Same!

    I feel massive next to a dude shorter than me. Then again, Grandad and Dad are 6'4". Dude I've dated for the past 6 years is 6'5". Biased? Yep. At 5'9" I'm the tallest in the family after dad.

    Depends...am I tryna smash him? J/K. I haved dated near my height and taller but being shorter than me wouldn't be a deterrent.

    I always thought I wanted to end up with someone taller than me (5'10.5") but then I met my husband and he's only 5'7". Honestly it doesn't bug me, instead of holding hands when we're out somewhere walking, I put my arm through his so neither of us is bent all funny lol. As an added bonus I didn't feel the need to wear heels for our wedding which was good...I hate heels.

    I am 5' 11", so most of the times I didn't have a choice...I think it should be about how the other person makes you feel. I do recall in high school being asked to dance by a much shorter guy...he seemed to enjoy the dance!! =)

    I don't think it matters if you like someone.
    My boyfriend is barely taller then me and I could care less. He is a great guy and is very confident.

    It would be pretty hard to find a grown male shorter than me (I'm 5'1"). I have a coworker that is 5'3" and I like standing next to him when I wear heels because I am taller than him.
    As far as dating someone shorter than me, I'm gonna go with a no.

    It would be pretty rare to find a guy shorter than me =) I'm quite small.

    That said, I've dated short guys. My ex is only 5'5" and he is gorgeous. Most of the guys I've dated were either very tall (over 6'2") or semi short (under 5'8") Strange.

    Ok, well first off you are a very attractive person (at least on the outside, can't vouch for the rest since I don't know you) so I don't see that there is any valid reason that you would limit yourself in that way. As for the height thing, I don't think it really matters as long as they are not head level with my chest.
