Exactly why you should be seeking a short man. He is superior in many ways.

1) Lower resource usage
2) Smaller moment of inertia (which means stronger for the same muscle mass and better acceleration, which is why all these short guys say they can drop bigger guys. They really can).
3) Lower growth rate leads to better coordination.
4) Faster reflexes.


Taller guys can:

1. Reach the top shelf
2. Find someone in a crowd
3. Pick a girl up and twirl her without her toes dragging the ground
4. Get in a truck without a stepladder.
5. Swallow her in a great big bear hug



sorry Earth, I couldn't help it. Short guys must dwell on this a lot to compile lists defending their height. I'm sure women are looking for guys with lower resource usage

Im 5'11. ive dated people slightly shorter then me but i would never date someone smaller then 5'7. I would feel huge and uncomfortable. Thats been my experience anyway. Plus the short guys ive dated had an obsession with me not being able to wear high heels so i couldnt even dress up in that way.

Amen 000firefighter (by the way, how darn cute is he)

Height is not something you can change, as I have said countless times, I prefer shorter men (like firefighter) with a muscular build and has no issue with his height. If someone doesn't like you because you are under 6ft, move on, someone else will. Normally, when a shorter man cannot get a date, they blame their height, more often than not, it has nothing to do with their height, it has to do with their attitude.

I work at a Rona..........for the americans on here.........its like a Home Depot............I see men of all heights come in. One thing I've noticed,,,,,,there are more muscular short men than there are muscular tall men. I have noticed from dating men of different heights; that some of the tall ones seem to think that they don't have to work out.........that being tall is enough. I had a hard time not laughing at one that thought that he was big and strong...........because he's 6'5" and his workout consisted of 20 pushups & 20 crunches ...to me......fitness is more important than height........... but then.....I'm 5'5"

Chinua, you are absolutely right. Even if a big man does work out his legs never look as good as a shorter man's, sorry the shorter muscular guy is almost always better proportioned than the tall one.

I really have no problem with "short guys", in fact, my ex was a full 3 1/2 inches shorter than me and I'm certainly not tall! I actually don't like guys that tower over me too much, makes me feel like a little kid...as long as the shorter guy is okay with his height (that is, doesn't insist I always wear flats just to help out the differential!) I'm okay with it.

See I must be different. If I was dating someone five inches taller I would INSIST she wore heels. I get off on the idea of having a much taller girlfriend.

Oh geeeez, does that mean I have to start shopping for clothes in the women's section?

I'm sure the tall guys are just beating down your door.

short guys r cool but they r so insecure they r not stingy though they know how to treat a women. I had alot of fun with short guys just for hangin out but nothing serious. Maybe they feel like they r too short and that if they treat a women right then they can get a date. But cheer up short guys u can get womens cause u know how to treat them but some times the height thing can be disappointing especially if u r 4ft tall. but hey look for womens yo height and u wont have a problem at all trust me.

I have no problem dating shorter guys, being that most are shorter or the same height as me. I do find, however that taller guys like to date shorter girls, at least shorter than themselves, and shorter guys tend to be self conscious about being with taller women. Just my personal experiance.

Plain and simple....I'm not attracted to short guys. I'm barely 5'1 and I love standing on my tiptoes to reach my boys lips! And I love when he scoops me up in his big arms. I've always dated men taller than 6 feet. I guess I love looking up! They make me feel secure and cared for.

Personally, height is not a big deal to me, as long as he is attractive and taller than I am (which shouldn't be too tough to do since I'm a shorty). My last BF was only 5'4", and the one before that was 6'6".

I'm only 5'9 with my boots on, so I guess I'm short by definition of some of the women in this thread, but have never been called short before. I'm a big stocky guy so maybe that helps offset not being 6' tall. The girls all feel secure when I hold them. No complaints so far. But I say if a chick isn't into me because of my height, weight, or personality, then that's fine with me. I won't blame a woman for not being attracted to me. #1, you can't help how you feel and #2, I have too many women that are attracted to me to worry about those that aren't.

I think what cracks me up the most is how some people who are taller act as though it's an accomplishment, as if they succeeded at being tall and others failed at it. I have a brother who acts that way, constantly making comments about how he is the tallest in the family...I'm more irritated that he's related and so stupid than I am about my height.

I realized a long time ago that I was short, and it's never bothered me. As the only short kid of five, I grew up with a father who used to beat me for being small. He hated the fact that I didn't grow like the other kids were growing and apparently thought he could slap some height into me. Wait...so that's where my brother's stupidity came from...I just figured that out!! lol

Regardless, I'd be lying if I said I never wished I was taller, but this is the real world and that's what life handed me....no do-overs....

and yet, somehow you felt the need to defend yourself. You must feel so much better now to get that off your chest.

Hey, I'm talking to you...down here...

I don't think its the individual woman that has me down on it, but that the vast majority of women don't want to date any guy under 6'0. Around 45% refuse to date men under 6' despite the fact that only 34% are 6' and over.

Its discouraging when you know that three quarters of the women out there aren't interested in you because you're 2 inches too short.

As I mentioned in another thread, I tried signing up for speed dating, but I'm too short for it. How is it that men are considered the shallow end of the species?

^^^Well I guess that makes me 7 inches too short to date 45% of the women.

Dude, are you actually kidding me? You are 5'10" tall and you are complaining about being short?

I'm not complaining because I don't walk short. I have dated girls your height. Yes that's right, 5'10" tall. They asked ME out. I loved every COMFORTABLE minute of it.

A person can be "short" in more ways than just height.

I have dated some men that are the same height as me or about an inch shorter. I fell in love with one. But, generally this is how I feel about dating shorter or same as my height men:

1. I feel like a giant when I wear heels and are with them
2. I feel like the man in the relationship, like I can wrap my arms around them and they can't around me, and I personally love the feeling of a man wrapping his arms around me for an intimate hug and me being all snuggled up.
3. If he were to stand in front of me to protect me from anything, wouldn't really do much if I could see over him.

That is just how I feel tho, and my preferences.

i'll be more than happy to date all women who are 4 feet 5 inches all the way up to 3 inches shorter than me for purposes of wearing high heels. this should still leave me with dozens if not hundreds of ladies in my area to date. you'll never have a strained neck from kissing me.
