Am I too short to be physically attractive?

I'm 5'4'' (could go up to 5'5'' or 5'6'' depending on the shoes I'm wearing) and I keep thinking that I'm too short for any girl to find physically attractive. I know girls love tall guys and in my university there are a lot of girls my height or taller. I'm not asking whether you girls would date a guy my height or anything, I'm just wondering whether you could find someone as short as me physically attractive. Am I too short for a guy to be physically attractive?

  • Of course there will be girls who are attracted to you, but you have to be confident about what you have. I'm about 5'6" (5'7" on a good day), and one of my past girlfriends was 5'9" or 5'10". We dated for nearly two years, and it was a really good relationship. However, it became long distant after the first year and was hard to maintain that far away. She didn't care about being taller than me.

    Of course, my fiancee is 5'1", so I'm easily taller than her, but with heels, she's probably close to my height. However, my height didn't have anything to do with why we're together.

    You're going to find both tall and short girls who are attracted to you and don't care about height differences, but you'll also find tall and short girls who do care about height and may not find you attractive. What it all comes down to is that you just need to not let it bother you and don't let it be a factor holding you back.

  • I can see your height being a MAJOR obstacle, but it is possible to overcome. I know it can be extremely disheartening, but your best bet is to not let your height bother you (or at least not outwardly express that it bothers you). While most girls would prefer taller, some either wouldn't be bothered by it, or would be willing to overlook it for the right guy. If you let your height bother you, it will ruin your chances with those other girls too.

    Keep throwing yourself in social situations with girls, hoping to come across the latter "branch" of girl rather than the former. Make sure you look your best externally (clothes, hair, etc...) and find ways to improve yourself internally to help stand out and compete with taller guys.

  • Sure one of the .. no correction the single hottest guy I've slept with (also happens to be a major man whore, can literally get any girl in bed just by looking at them) is only about 5'3.

    While many of us say we prefer taller guys, it doesn't mean shorter ones can't be attractive.

  • I'm 5'4 and I have to admit, my boyfriend is 6'5.

    I can find a shorter guy physically attractive, yes, but the fact that I'd literally be looking him in the eye at any given time would kind of throw me off. There are a lot of attractive short guys out there. Don't sweat it.

    • @prettygurl12 because you’re so used to breaking your neck to look up?

  • Well, to be honest, height is important to most women.

    Most women don't want to date men shorter than themselves.

    You have to go for shorter girls probably.

What Girls & Guys Said

6 5

  • Just saying. My boyfriend is 5'3'' and he is sexy as f***.

  • I believe a girl would want a guy taller than her, but not by much. A 5'5'' girl would probably feel uncomfortable with a 6'4'' guy. However, it is not unheard of for short men to successfully date taller girls. If you have the confidence to do so, she will probably won't mind the height difference. I say "probably". :)

    If I were you, I would look for girls that are shorter than I am.

  • No I like dating guys who are about 5'5"-5'6" because I'm 5'2" and dot want my boyfriend to have to bend down a lot to kiss me.

    • @sexydncr would you date a guy the same height as you?

  • My good friend is around 5'6 and he gets tons of girls... You have to be confident and work with what you have. Make them interested in other parts of your life. If it doesn't bother you it won't bother a lot of girls.

  • You can be short and attractive... it doesn't affect how attractive you are.

    • @corneliaispretty *it does affect how attractive you are since less women would date them…it doesn’t affect their looks that’s all

  • I'm speaking in generalities when I say women will judge you on size. That is your height, the size of your penis, and the size of your bank account. It's just what they do.

    Will there be women who don't? Sure, but they are the exception, not the rule.

  • Lol well I'm 4'10.5 and my husband is 5'6 and I love him and find him completely attractive. You just have to find the right girl :)

    • @kaitlovesyou 1. 5’6” isn’t short it’s average or a bit below average (unless you are in Northern Europe or something then ok it’s a little short) 2. That’s much taller than you…if he was your height would you have gone for him?

  • 5’4” is barely short IRL and even average in several countries but on dating apps women want 6 ft+ so you might be screwed there

  • Just own it. I'm 5'5", and I know a lot of guys around my height that are physically attractive, but they are also kind of geeky and passionate about their work. If their height bothers them, I wouldn't know.

  • I could find someone that shirt attractive but wouldn't take him

  • Vern Troyer gets action.
