Girls, would you date a guy shorter than you? Guys, would you date a girl taller than you?
- 1K opinions shared on Dating topic.
I am 4'9" and no, I wouldn't date a guy who's shorter then me. Not even if he's my height. I don't know why, it's a turn off. Maybe if I was tall then I wouldn't mind.
I actually had a very uncomfortable situation recently. Matched with a guy on Tinder and went on a date with him. He didn't put his height in his bio and didn't seem short on his photos, it didn't even crossed my mind that he would be shorter then me! I was really mad at that moment and wanted to tell him that he should've put his height in his bio, but I couldn't. It was the first time ever I met a man who's shorter then me. Until now I never thought about it since chances that I will meet someone like that were slim, I didn't think I was shallow. Didn't think it matters. But oh boy, it did. His hands are even smaller then mine, and my shoulders are wider then his. It just felt unnatural.

It depends. I dated a guy shorter than me once and hated it. Only because he was very submissive and it was my first relationship (his too but I was 16 he was almost 19) so it was weird. I think if the guy took charge and actually made me feel like a girl it'd be okay.
No problem.
Height is not a factor to me, I don't walk into a room of people, see who the tallest person is, and think "gee, that must be the smartest, strongest, most trustworthy, best-at-everythingest one here, because they are so tall."
But I do know that at LEAST 50% of girls literally are that stupid.
I mean, they have literally done studies, where they show a woman a picture of a guy's face and say, "He's 6'5'', what do you think his personality is like?" and they women say, "oh, he's so smart and brave and kind and honest!" And they show the same picture to another woman and say, "He's 5'6'', what do you think he's like?" And they go, "Oh, he's definitely an evil dirty crook and a liar, I bet he beats his wife and is probably a pedophile as well."

I don't think I'd have a problem with it but I would probably feel a little inadequate at times. If I knew that she was really into me and loved me then that'd make me feel comfortable about it.

I wouldn't be with a shorter guy.
For me 5ft9 is the minimum for me to be attracted to him. Maybe 5ft8.
I'm 5ft6 and want him to be at least a couple of inches taller. - 1.9K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Yes, I would date a guy shorter than me.

By and large, women are all about wearing baseball caps, high tops, jeans and wielding lightsabers and capes on the silver screen. "You go girl!" You know, empowered, strong, all that kind of stuff. Words are easy. In reality, most women still hunker down into the comfortable safety of their perceived norms. So most can't get on board with being shorter. Sad but true. Yes, women are gung ho in spirit and with their words, but the actions? You don't have to believe me, go out into the world and see for yourself what the hoards of "strong" women are doing.

I'm pretty short already so the odds of a guy being shorter than me are really small 😋.
That being said, I do love feeling smaller and protected, so, obviously, I will feel that way more easily with a guy who is taller than me. If we are the same height but he is stronger than me then that's okay too. -
I Never had too.
I'm 5'8 and attract only tall guys.
But if I'm honest more like not. And that not to offend anyone. Just not my thing. It would seem uncomfortable to me. And as much as this girl loves her chucks. I like my heels and combat boots too. -
I wouldn't be comfortable dating a guy who is significantly shorter than me but I'd be okay with dating a guy who isn't noticeably shorter than me. If he's significantly shorter than me I'd let him know that I'm not comfortable with it but I'll give him a chance and I'll try to become more comfortable with it.

I prefer short guy more since I bad example with tall guys and I don't find tall guys attractive. Short guys are more attractive to me. Eg they will have learning disabilities. I don't wear a high heel. This is on my pic of my simself on sims 4.

Not to sound shallow (even though it is), but I don’t think I would. I’m 5’3. For all the guys saying that this is bs, guys also pick out “flaws” in girls and choose not to date them because of that. It works both ways. Nothing wrong with that
-
In all honesty, probably not. I'm already short myself so any shorter and he'd be like... almost a dwarf. Plus, I've always liked rather tall-big guys, they just make me feel do secure and safe 😄😄 Plus cuddling is heavenly!!!
-
It would really depend on how much shorter and his personality. I prefer taller men, but if I met a shorter guy with a great personality, I might date him. Probably not if it was more than a couple of inches difference though.
-
I hate to be that girl, but, honestly, no. I really like tall guys. I did date a guy who was around the same height as me though, and i didn't wear heels when i went out with him. It was kind of sad.
-
I am like 5’7-5’8 and I had an obsessive crush on a guy that was like 5’5-5’6. I towered over him but his personality was so amazing, he was always so encouraging and positive I fell in love. Unfortunately he has a girlfriend tho... that broke my heart lol.

If I find someone attractive I find them attractive. I’m pretty short so it’s not hard to find a guy taller than me and height isn’t a big deal.
-
Yes attractive comes in all sizes it's the confidence more then size that attracts me.
-
I'm already short as it is, so i definitely wouldn't someone shorter than me lol
-
I tend to prefer taller women as they are more attractive and look more mature to me than shorter girls.
-
No, I just couldn't do it. I don't care all that much about height, but all I ask is that she be at least an inch shorter.

I'm 5'10 and I like tall girls (5'7-6'5 ft tall) -so yes, I don't mind if a girl is taller than me (but not gigantic, I wouldn't date a girl who is 7 ft tall or even taller).

I probably would, as long as he wasn’t extremely short and the rest of him was attractive. I’d be turned off by his height though.

My whole life I've had to stand or sit in the back, squish down, lean this way or that waybecause I'm tall. I have no qualms about saying I want a tall guy because I want someone to walk this earth as a giant with.
