Posted: 12/24/2005 2:42:56 PM | Hello, this is my first time posting here. I have 2 questions:
1. Why women don't like short guys?
2. Do Short guys ever stand a chance of dating? | |

Posted: 12/24/2005 3:04:46 PM | | For myself I prefer tall guys because im about 5 foot 6 - 5 foot 7... and never wear flat shoes... all my shoes/boots/sandals have usually atleast a 2 to 3 inch heel... I dont like being taller than the guy Im with because i just feel weird and it makes me more self contious about height and stuff when my man is smaller than me... and society puts so muc emphasis on the dainty, small, shorter woman and the guy being a tall hulking man thats it kinda sticks in your thoughts... I usually go for tall guys because i can wear my heels and still be shorter than them... if I met a wonderful guy that was shorter than me, I wouldnt rule him out becuse of hs height i just dont think id be initially attracted to him.. and we would have to have more of a personality attraction... | |

Being at 5"11" myself,-i'm still the shortest person in my family, even my kids are taller than me. I guess some people were just ment to carry the trays......."egg noodle, sir?" | |

And most women simply do not know if they can handle the size of his boat, or the motion in the ocean! | |

As far as I'm concerned, height has nothing to do with it.
If you have a good attitude and not arrogant...the gals will be drawn to you. | |

Posted: 3/22/2006 11:44:02 PM | I love short guys!
As long as The guy is comfortable with himself, then it's all good, it's only annoying when they get like one of those little dogs that barks up a storm to try to seem bigger than they really are, lol.
I'm only 5'3" so every guy it tall to me, but short guys treat you like gold!
I will admit tall guys are very attractive, but it would be nice to settle with a short dude | |

Can we stop whining about it?
As for the sexual prowess of short men ... hmm, many men are shorter than I am, and it's really never crossed my mind to think of them as party animals. | |

Posted: 4/8/2006 3:25:25 PM | I am 5' 4" tall and so far being too short is the most common excuse why I do not get email replies. When you lie and saying you're taller, then you get slammed for being a liar.
I am really wondering if I will be single for life.
Most women cannot get over dating a short guy. | |

Posted: 4/8/2006 3:28:27 PM | 1st husband=5'9'
2nd husband=5'8"
Last 3 boyfriends=5'7"-5'8-5'6"
With a track record like that...I think I'm only going to date a man if he's 6 foot
Even though I see nothing wrong with short men...they just don't seem to work for me

Posted: 4/8/2006 4:46:10 PM | ^^^ Quitter! I'm 5'5" so I'm next. If it doesn't work out sdrobert is waiting in line.
To OP: Yes, most women do prefer guys who are taller. Conversely, most guys prefer women who are shorter. For us vertically challenged, that may narrow the playing field but if you are left warming the bench, you need to look at other reasons for not getting in the game. | |

Some men that tower over 6ft (less than 20%), are either already taken (meaning married or with someone), they prefer to date shorter women (which makes that even more difficult for us short guys), and some of them are jerks who know that they have their choice of women (whereas a lot of short guys seem to be more sincere).
All I ask is that the women out there keep this in mind when it comes to dating. I know height is just a preference, but I hope many of them won't turn a blind eye to a good guy if he comes along, regardless of height. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 12:23:36 PM | I dated a guy who was my height (5"4") for 5 years. Height doesnt bother me as long as you are atleat my height, and you dont mind if I wear heels (I would even compromise and only buy < 3 inch heels)

Posted: 6/9/2006 12:37:15 PM | | I'm only 5'5" tall but I come from a family of gentle giants. Most the men are over six foot tall and my grandmother coined a phrase used quite often in my family, what she refers to as "Little man Syndrome" So many places that we would go, some short pipsqueek of a man would strut up with a**** attitude and try to start something with these big men just to make them look tougher. I realize that all short men are not like that, but as a girl growing up it left me with an unsavory impression. I tend to be attracted to taller men and more gentle men who do not feel as if they have to prove themselves. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 3:00:01 PM | There's several topics on this already. Just do a search.
Not all women prefer overly tall men. Find a shorter woman.
At 5'10", I am taller than women 5'0" to 5'4", even when they have heels on. I typically don't date super tall women though I have, at one time, dated a woman 6'2". It was pretty cool :) | |

Posted: 12/10/2008 1:28:58 PM | | Well I would say that there are actually lots of women who do like short guys, so yes of course they stand a chance of dating! There may be some women who are either too shallow or insecure to date a shorter guy - but many, including myself, would. I'm about 5ft2 so there aren't so many guys shorter than me anyway - but if someone was shorter and we got on well then I would not even think about his height. I date tall and short - height is completely insignificant :) | |

Posted: 12/10/2008 2:44:38 PM | | I'm 5 foot 5 and I prefer taller guys because I feel safer. Not to say if the right guy came alone I'd turn him down because of height. I've just always been more attracted to taller guys. A shorter guy can have a chance at dating if he believes he can. If he's negative and lets every rejection get to him, then his chances for success are slim. | |

Posted: 12/10/2008 3:25:21 PM | | I never put a "height" requirement, however I am a sucker for tall men period. I am 5 feet tall ....and there is just something about a nice buff tall guy...:) Plus I wear 5 inch heels and do not want to ever tower over anyone...but that rarely happens at my height. I am so short, everyone seems tall...lol :) | |

Posted: 12/10/2008 3:37:52 PM | | Being tall is no magic bullet. I'm 6'1" and I get nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch. Except every once in a while a really short girl (5'0" or 5'1") will look up at me with her big eyes and I'm like, "What am I going to do with that? I'd have to get on my knees just to kiss her!" So, being short is not the third strike, and neither is being tall any answer. | |
