Is it rude to call a guy short before rejecting him?

[davids88]

If a guy shorter than you asks you out and you did not find him attractive because of his height. Is it rude to say "Your short sorry" or say you can not date him because of his height.

[Evil_Laughter]

I think so. Rejection is never pleasant, and when there is nothing you can gain from the experience either (such as realizing you come across as overly aggressive and working on your temper to better yourself, ultimately improving as a person and being more capable of starting a healthy relationship when the next opportunity comes) it seems really unneccessary and almost like throwing salt in the wound to explain why it happened. There's nothing a guy can really do about his height, unless he happens to have fairly severe scoliosis, so it ultimately does nothing for either party. I'd just omit it if possible.

[Sensmind]

I won't say rude but maybe it might be nice to say I am not interested or into dating etc right now than give a de facto reason for your rejection. The aim here is for everyone to walk away least put out, offended, insulted etc. I see no merit in possibly intentionally or accidentally being mean.

[anniisa]

Yes it is. Just simply say you're not interested, be polite and go about your day. There's no need to be an asshole in the process and put people down like that.

[SarahsSummer]

I think it’s rude to vocally blame any part of a persons appearance for your rejection of them.

[Desconhecida]

Not only rude but sign of poor character

[Sheyhoney]

Tbh I wouldn’t mention it. It could be something he’s really insecure about if just say no thank you— you don’t have to give a reason you can just say no.
imagine you tell your crush you like them and they tell you no sorry you got a big ass head? How would you feel lol

[MissDawn7961]

it would be a mean , crude and rude thing to do to turn someone down for a date and tell them that they are to short for you to date them ! no one can do anything about their height anyway ! anyone who says this to anyone about their height is to immature to date anyway ! Thanks

[KungfuCyborg]

Yes thats very rude. So long as the guy was trying to be nice there's no need to reject him in a mean way. I for one dont mind short guys😊

Just tell him you´re not interested. No need to insult him.

[Anonymous]

I suppose the most polite thing to say would be to just cut it short and say “Sorry, I’m not really interested in you like that.”

If the man asks why, then I suppose it’s fair to be honest and say it’s because of his height.

Although, if that’s the ONLY (he’s handsome, good personality, respectful, funny, whatever else) reason I think it’s a bit shallow.

[EleanorRigby]

It's rude and unnecessary. You can just say you're not interested.

[Jackblue]

I hope that most women would let a man down a bit easier than that, unless he would not take no for an answer in which case she is free to be as harsh as she wants.

[Anonymous]

Yes! It's rude. What if a guy told a girl he couldn't date her because she was too tall?

[englisc]

It's like telling a girl you're not interested because she's too fat.

[oliverofjones]

If I rejected a woman for the same reason would you think me rude?
If you never give someone a shot based on one thing you might miss out.

[kim45456]

No, you are entitled to your preferences

[Dinklex3]

I don't think that being short is an insult, so I'm going to say no.

[SarahsSummer]

I think in this instance it’s clearly meant as an insult.

[Dinklex3]

@SarahsSummer I disagree.

[Anonymous]

Yea dude can’t really help that. Maybe he can get some lifts but that really only helps a little. Good luck getting out of that situation. No real way to come out of it without sounding like an asshole

[jimmiesprocket]

Ugh. Yes. Just make it clear you're not into him and if he pushes for why then feel free to lay it on him. If he accepts it and moves on then I don't see why you should bring it up.

[Kimbuktu]

No it's not rude! It's honest. And honesty is worth way more!

[lofii]

I'll kick her in her shins and then run off if she tells me that

[steelclever]

Haha when I read this I, for a split second pictured an oompa loompa kicking some girl and running off singing about chocolate or some shit in my head. WTH is wrong with me 😂😂

[Anonymous]

Hahahhshhahshhahahh wtf. Just say you are not interested, who tf do that

[12natnal]

Yes it is rude to say someone I don't like you or date you b/c of his nature things.

[ElissaDido]

Very rude.

[Nikki1989]

Yes that is uncalled for.

[Mommy95]

No ask long as you don't say it rudely

[sulcarter488atgm]

It's wrong to reject a guy for being short

[Cleo81]

Nah just telling you the truth.

[chantrllr]

Anything under 6fts a female anyways don’t stress

[davids88]

Anything over 5 7" is a male.

[chantrllr]

Guess that’s your height isn’t it 😂

[davids88]

Guess your height is 6 2". A 6 2" woman? 😅 Can work as a bouncer

[chantrllr]

Ahaha your insecurities are showing so hard I was having a troll 😂

[davids88]

Your clearly insecure about your height and looks both. First you dress up like 12 year old ballet dancer which looks very weird and only accept guys over 6 feet because you are 6 2" female. 😅

[chantrllr]

😂😂😂😂

[chinup85]

I would say yes

[Anonymous]

I would be honest but not rude.

[Avicenna]

Of course it is

[BIGGESTD39]

Uh ya

[N3verletup]

Is 5'7" short?

[davids88]

Depends on where you live. In Europe, usa and australia, it is short. But in south east asia it is slightly taller than average and in other Asian countries it's perfectly average

[iloveme28]

Ohhh welll...

[shasta9999]

Um, yes.
