| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 2/24/2008 10:26:28 AM | I prefer shorter men. I am only 5'3" and it is uncomfortable to be with a tall man.
We just dont fit together as well as a man closer to my own height. My friend is 5'8". Hes perfect for me. I usually have dated men about this size.
As far as kicking butt....my guy can kick ass. Hes fast as lightning and cunning smart. Tall men are not as tuff as you would think. I saw a 145 man kick but on a man over 200 lbs. He wasnt fat. Shorter leaner men have advantage of speed. Taller big men have weight in their advantage....but they have to catch him first if they can after being hit 10 times in the head with lightning speed!
LOL Its all in the individual man.
Never dated tall men ever. Not for me. | |

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.
A guy who is 1/2 foot taller than you is "your height"? | |

"shortie"? you're not tall either, secondly "ugly" is very realtive it's not something that can be measured like height. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 10:45:05 PM | | Not sure why so many think being short or tall has anything to do with health, strength, or success in business life. Dumbness at it's best. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 11:16:08 PM | I have no preference on a man's height... have dated men from 5'2" to 6'4"
Didn't know women were such sticklers over men's height until I started reading all of these short men threads on the forums.
IMO, they've left some absolutely amazing men in the pond. woo-hoo
Found my guy here... although at 5'8" I guess he's really more average height than short, but he's under that 5'10" boundary so many seem to have. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 12:16:06 AM | I prefer shorter men. No taller than 5'10".
My boyfriend is 5'8".
Its easier to kiss him without getting a neck ache.
We fit together better laying down together.
If we get married, his clothes wont be so big so.....less loads of laundry.
His shoes are smaller so they take up less room in the closet.
We can walk side by side with arms around each other at still be able to whisper into each other ear.
He fits in the sports car o.k.
Hes a good fighter. Hes really fast. I feel perfectly safe with him.
Here are a few good reasons I like shorter men. I prefer them.
But actually most important of all......is the whole package. Is he wonderful, treat me with kindness, good kisser, good lover, fun to be with. All that is actually the most important part of all. If all the shorter men were creeps and the tall man was the good man, I will always pick a good man. Its all about the person. But I just seem to draw to and meet shorter men. | |

Posted: 2/26/2008 1:48:10 AM | I have never thought about height in getting to know someone. I find it odd that women are so worried about feeling "protected" or something. Talk about thinking backwards, but then I like to get to know the person, not imagine what our babies would look like. Egads, that's just wrong.
Men, if a woman asks you how tall you are, run for your life. She is not worth it.

Posted: 2/26/2008 9:18:39 PM | It's good to see so many women on here now taking the time to understand the discrimination that many short statured man face. Hopefully, we can begin to move beyond this superficial society that exists today.  | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 11:04:38 AM | | It seems that when we look at these forums that maybe only 10% of women don't care about height. The other 90% base attraction and love on height. Does this seem accurate? | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 9:22:17 PM | {I'm just wondering why other women don't like short guys???}
Beats me, Kate. Height has always been pretty much irrelevant to me. I've dated men of all different statures, from 5'4" to 6'4" (I'm 5'5"). My DH happens to be 5'9". The guy I dated who was 5'4", I was totally into; he had the looks and charisma of Robert Downey Jr. DH would actually enjoy seeing me in heels, but I much prefer flats for comfort reasons. However, I don't mind a wedged heel on special occasions, but not for long periods. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:54:02 PM | The last girl I asked out was a good friend (she's a girl)'s sister. She just moved from out of town and she just so happens to work where I work.
I got to know her, and we got along great, lots of laughs, good conversation. She then told my friend (her sister) that I was cute, but told her not to tell me. Her sister tells me everything so she told me anyway. So I thought, maybe I'll give it a shot.
She's 5'7-5'8. I remember 5 years ago my friend called her long distance (she still lived out of town at the time) to try to set me up with her. The 1st thing she asked was, "Is he shorter than me?" My friend says "Yep". So she goes, "I'm not interested."
This was 5 years ago. Last year was when she moved into town and we got to hang out. I still remembered in the back of my mind what she said 5 years ago, but since I thought she told my friend (her sister) that I was cute, that I thought I'd give it a shot. I was interested in her because she was a cool girl, fun to be around with. I asked her sister (my friend) to see what she would say if I asked her little sister out. She tells me, "Go ahead, I don't know if you have a shot because she doesn't really tell me anything about her relationships, but I don't mind if you date my sister."
So I asked her out one night, and she says "Are you serious?... I only see you as a friend..."
So I said, alright, that's fine. I'm a straight shooter, I told her even thought she rejected me, we can still go back to doing what we did when we first met. To this day we're still good friends and hang out on a regular basis.
2 Months after I asked her out, I was out with my friend (her sister) one night for dinner and again she tells me stuff that she wasn't suppose to tell me.
This is what she told me. "So Diana told me you asked her out a few months ago, do you know what she told me? Don't tell her I said this because I'm not suppose to tell you, although that has never stopped me in the past. She said you were everything she looks for in a guy, but she couldn't get over the fact that you're 2 inches shorter than her, the height was such a big deal for her that she got mad at herself for it because she hates being tall."
What do I think of the deal? That's just how it is. Even as someone that a girl looks for, I will still be looked down upon because of my height. So be it. We're dealt the cards in our hands and we have to make the best out of it. Injustice or not, things are not going to change anytime soon.
If things change within my lifetime and all of a sudden short men are seen as sexy and are not discriminated against. Great. If not, then perhaps I can hope that it will be brought to the forefront of societal issues, and any discriminatory issues (height, race, whatever) will be dealt with one at a time.
It's too bad it has to come to something so trivial as height, but I don't think there's anyone specific to blame. There's so many social variables that comes into play. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 12:05:40 AM | Dude...I've been there in your situation. Women are very superficial when it comes to height. Women want men to love them for who they are on the inside and get mad when a man judges them on physical appearance. Yet, it is okay for women to judge men by outward appearance.
The most feared words that a short statured male can hear is, "Let's just be friends." We shorter guys hear this far more than anyone else. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 4:04:17 AM | A guy's height doesn't seem to matter quite as much in other countries. Of course, you will still be considered a trophy boyfriend (or husband, if it gets to that) simply because you are an American/foreigner. In North America and Europe you may not be considered tall at all, but go to Latin America or Asia and you will be taller than most of the people there. I haven't been to the Philippines, but a Filipina's average height I'd estimate to be 4'11". And most Mexicans are under 5'7" tall, which is my height. Even so, I've had 2 Latin American girlfriends who were both taller than me and they didn't see it as a "problem".
If you're an American guy and you're having difficulties finding a local girl, I would seriously recommend travelling to another country and meeting women there. Immediately you'll see a huge difference in how you're treated. Sure, a guy may be considered a "loser" if he has to go to another country to find a girlfriend (or wife), but chances are, he's already considered a "loser" anyways by American women for whatever reason (not tall enough, doesn't make a lot of money, etc.), so why not visit another country and find women who want to be with you? | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 10:35:49 AM | | Funny you say that tkdblake. I got a buddy that has never dated a girl in Canada because he was a nice quiet guy. He went to Japan to teach English and the guy became a total pimp. He was sleeping with Japanese girls left right and center. They were all students in the English school he taught at, and now he's happily married to one of his students. | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 10:54:26 AM | The one thing no one can change is Hight ( so far as I know) Hell Michael jackson hada RAcial realignement surgery( ugliest white woman EVER) but you can even change that if you think that will get you more ladies( wrong reason to do anything though.)
The problem is women in general prefer a man taller than them, so A guy like me should be dating a woman that is shorter than I.( though I prefer my hiehgt or above). | |

Posted: 3/2/2008 11:09:05 AM | I totally agree with you.
I love shorter men. It is much more comfortable kissing and dancing with someone my own height (5'4) than a taller chap. I dated a 6'4 man and dancing with him was a strain on my neck and calves. I could only rest my head on his chest, while I wanted to feel his face next to mine. Face-to-face while standing and hugging is a turn-on for me. | |
