I've made comments to girlfriends about guys we've seen being hot, and they look at me like I'm crazy and invariably follow it with an uncomplimentary comment about his height. I don't get it.
I don't get it either, Kate. I'm pretty short myself, I am sure that has something to do with it. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 10:10:25 PM | well i'm not a little girl- very tall and broad shouldered and i LOVE high heel shoes. so i usually go for the taller men, cause shorter men have so many hangups with women in heels. even this one guy i went on a date with who was 5'10" - he started whining about my 4" heels!
Nope. I have never had a hang up about my hight. I think it is women who have hang ups about short men. Short men get less dates no mater how slender or buff they are. Women want tall men. no matter if the y are 4'10" or 6'10" it sucks that only a few short women and even less tall women will give a short guy a chance. It is absolutly their loss.
I have dated a 6'3" amazon woman before and I was in love. I did not care what other people said.and she felt safe and secure with me. I asked a women out who was 4'6" who said she only dated men 6" and above. So to each is own. It is still their loss.
As for the napolean complex myth. You know short guys get picked on more than the fat kids do and for years longer, dont you think they are gonna have a little bit of a right to be more than confident and more self assured. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 10:34:09 PM | Being short is not a fault is it. Its a genetic fact, over which they have no control. Its what a guy is made of, thats important, not his height.A good heart and a gentle spirit does not have a measurement.How many nice guys are rejected because they don't match height requirements. Its mad look at the heart not the height.
Astutely said Saoirse!
To put a slightly different inflection on it, we all know that height can be changed through proper diet, exercise, and discipline and furthermore could well require changing in a growing number of persons due to the serious health risks that it poses, etc. However, weight is something you are born with and cannot change.

It sucks and yes I am one of these short guys. I just feel that it is a prefference. I can lose the weight and I can die my hair and get a tan if but I can never become tall.
Somepeople will only date black people. I try not to let it phase me, and I feel if someone is so shallow to exclude so many people out of their lives, then I do not want to date tham anyway. | |

Posted: 2/19/2008 7:40:22 PM | | From what I have seen on here, this is an issue that most don't want to talk about. Men seem afraid to speak because they are going to be called a whiner and women don't because most look superficial based on their height requirements. | |

Posted: 2/19/2008 7:57:39 PM | | I am a 49 year old, 5'11' woman who has dated guys as short as 5'5". When I was in my 20's I preferred short men. Dont ask me why. I married a guy 5'8". My saying was that it didn't matter when you were laying down!! But as I go t older and gained weight, I feel that a taller man is more my size--I feel much bigger next to a short guy. But If I see a good looking guy, it doesn't matter what his height is---attractiveness isn't measured by height. Actually attractivenes shouldn't even be measured by weight, height, or facial beauty. Beauty comes from inside. The most gorgeous super model(man or woman) isugly if they are ugly on the inside!!!! | |

Posted: 2/19/2008 7:59:02 PM | I am not height prejudiced... I have been involved and lived with men who were actually my height, I am close to 5'8' myself... It is the whole package that counts. I may have a problem with someone who is shorter and thinner than me, LOL | |

You make it sound like 5'8" is an awful thing. 5'8" is almost average for a guy...It's not short. The fact that you said you might have a problem with a guy shorter shows that their is a height prejudice and height bigotry being represented by yourself.
Did anyone see Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo last night? The show had on a multi-millionaire who was an attractive and athletic guy, but one problem he was 5'8". Woman after woman had a problem with his height even though he was a very successful man.
It's funny that the majority of women want a man to see them for who they are on the outside and note be superficial. Yet, women are not willing to give this same courtesy. | |

Posted: 2/20/2008 12:06:57 PM | | I guess it's going to depend on what some people consider a big man. The biggest man I ever knew was only five foot three. He was my mentor many years ago at a certain car agency where I worked. If I could be half the man he was I'd be twice the man I am today, regardless of my height. R.I.P.

Posted: 2/21/2008 11:35:02 PM | | I'm a woman who is 5'2" tall ... I've been with men who are 6'2" or shorter ... I have to say it's not the heighth that's important but how you are treated by the man ... I've always found short men are usually looking for taller women ... whatever happened to wanting to be with someone for who they are, not whether they are tall or short? ... I think we just choose the person we feel chemistry with & go with that .... I really don't think it has anything to do with whether or not you're short or tall .... | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 9:01:55 AM | | It's about evolution and mating preference. Tall men seem to be more healthy and have better genes. Women like men that they percieve to have better genes for producing healthy children. Most women want their children to be tall and strong. That goes for both sexes. No mom wants her boy to be 5ft tall. It's basic Charles Darwin Theory of Survival of the fitest. A large man makes a better family protector and is percieved to have better genes. | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 12:58:29 PM | | It definitely has NOTHING to do with the GENES ... has everything to do with chemistry & what the man is like ... BUT ... it may have something to do with what the man looks like in the JEANS :=) .... | |

| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 2/22/2008 2:21:49 PM | In a romantic partner, I don't care how tall the guy is, as long as I feel feminine when I'm with him. That might be hard to do if he's a lot shorter than me.
But the reason I look for taller men, is because it's very hard to dance when the man is shorter than the woman. I've tried dancing with a few guys who are shorter than me, or even my height, and I find they just can't lead me as well, especially with overhead turns. So for dancing, it's got to be taller guys, but for relationship material, it's all about how I feel when I'm with them, and it has little do with height, within reason.
Some of my biggest crushes in school were on short guys. (Not that they ever looked MY way, mind you.....) | |

Posted: 2/22/2008 3:50:18 PM | Iam not a lady......but I saw a topic on youtube that sperm banks have a height requirement of 5' 11".......any man under that requirement can't donate..
They said the main reason is that women don't want their babies to grow into short people....
I didn't think heightism existed....but i guess it does.....and iam apalled with society.
Sorry to all the short statured guys I have stirred or teased on this site in the past..
You, now have my support.....i don't believe you are whiners....i guess i misunderstood you in the past.
Ummm...come to think of it.....iam a short statured guy and i didn't realise it or pay much attention to it. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 10:09:40 AM | | I'm 5'1" and the only look issue I am picky on is height. A guy 5'7" seems too much "my height" and I feel weird. I need to feel my man is TALL and OVER MY HEAD. I prefer 5'11"+ I like when a guy has to bend to dance with me, or kiss me, and I feel safer with a taller guy. I don't like being with a guy who's butt I could kick. | |
