Do short women really not like short men?

[aq121]

I often feel as though short women don't like short men. I've been constantly rejected by short women and had them go for taller guys. I'm 5'4 myself. They all seem to come up with various reasons for hating short guys. I mean as short guys, we don't have much options. Average women want tall guys these days or at least a couple inches taller. Short women seem to want tall men or at least significantly taller. So it just leaves short guys lonely. It sucks to hear you're too short even from short women. Do short women really think short men are inferior? Are we not physically attractive? Is it because we will give short kids? Are we not capable of being safe around? Probably yes to all these so I might be answering my own question, but I really don't think short men care that much as long as the girl is shorter, its short women often that tend to care more about height. But to each their own I suppose. You can't change the minds of others.

[miniminimoon]

So, the guy I like is an inch shorter than me. I'm 5'7 so 5'6 really isn't that short, but my point is that he is shorter than me and I love it. I always wanted a tall guy but when I found him that changed. Wanna know the truth? Love changes you and things like height or the color of their eyes really doesn't matter. And when you find a girl who really loves you, your height won't matter.

Now. Wanna know the best part about short guys? This is just a personal opinion, but you're amazing to cuddle. Since I'm taller I have to be the big spoon and that means I have access to play with his hair and when he nuzzles into my neck and I can feel his breath on my skin.

Women overall tend to prefer taller men. It's going to be harder for us shorties. I've polled women on this quite a bit, and even short women sometimes say they wouldn't date short men. For example, just today I saw a poll where a 5'1" woman said she wouldn't date a 5'2" man because "that's too short for me." You'll see this often. However, short women are more likely to date short men. Why? Because most women have a requirement that the man must be taller than her. As long as that is met, it's fine.

But again, some women who are short themselves will still not date short men who are taller than her. Why? Because they can. There are loads of average height or taller men to choose from and very few men who are your or my height (5'3"). They have no empathy or reason to give a shit. Thankfully, that's a huge advantage for us because it's alarming us who to stay away from. These shallow women who reject us are saving us time and energy. It makes the dating process easier. She's shallow, next. Would you want to be a 6'3" guy and know your girlfriend would dump you if you were 5'3"? Who the hell would?

i like short men as long as i find them otherwise attractive

[nodnol32]

Sadly majority of them have a preference of tall men. Taller women however seem to be more open to the possibility of dating shorter men. My girlfriend is taller than me.

[devilish-cutie]

there are plenty of short guys having girlfriend so hight isn't neesarily thing that would prevent you to have one

[aq121]

Okay, this isn't really answering my question

[devilish-cutie]

it does. do you see shor twomen dating short men? yes, so there are short women that like short guys

[aq121]

To be quite honest with you, I don't. I don't see short women dating short men. In fact I've seen more short women with men much bigger than them. In fact, I very rarely see short women with short men.

[devilish-cutie]

you are delusional cause i dont see short men not having gfs
look at celebrities too, there are couples that even have girlfriend taller than them, eg. tom cruise and nicole kidman, katie holmes
most women just want guy taller than them, not that he has to be extremely tall. I know women that even prefer men closer to hight with them
sure tall men may be more attractive to most women, but you are just seeing you being short as exreme issue when in reality it may not be ideal but its not something that definitely means you cannot geta girlfriend, you just gotta own it. Women that find you too short are not for you and thats it. But there are plenty that would be fine with you hight and you should focus on those women, not ones that would have an issue with it. We all have criterias and its fine. Id never datea fat guy, but plenty of women would etc.

[aq121]

I don't see too many short men around to begin with so I'll admit its selective bias, but I'm just being honest. I actually have never really seen short women with short men as much as compared to short women with tall men. Its fairly common. Maybe its my location or something, I don't know. If short women want to comment that my height isn't attractive or something than by all means do so i'm just curious. No hard feelings, I like brutal honesty.

[devilish-cutie]

the thing is there are many criteria for the partner, not just one like hight and it depends on plenty of facotrs. Generally its hard to find love and partner and you just think its hard cause of your hight and thats not so. Eg. i like sporty men and dislike smoking and recently I've been dating this guy thats sporty but smokes... i wouldn't think id accept that but everything else he got is great so i was willing to overlook that. Its just generally not easy to find a person you click with, its not all in the looks

[aq121]

Sure, fair enough

[JHAYES317]

Yeah but generally they have to settle for fat women or women who have some sort of disability/disfigurement. How often do you see NON CELEBRITY short men dating attractive women or even average looking women? It’s not common

[inhua]

these women don't and they are unapologetic about it but don't you dare call them out because it's misogynistic to do so and they're entitled to their opinions

brutal

just brutal

so brutal

fucking brutal

absolutely fucking brutal

Most girls prefer a guy who’s taller than them. But it’s not usually a deal breaker at all. There’s lots of girls who are under 5’4, so maybe go for one of them. That way you’ll be a little bit taller than them

[aq121]

Lol I have several times. I messaged several women shorter than me, they all rejected me. I dont really have a problem with their height it seems to be the other way around.

[Opinion Owner]

Aww I’m sorry about that, I hope you find the right girl 💓

[JHAYES317]

Ok but what if a guy is 4’11”? What then?

[lin123_]

I like short men, height doesn't matter to me, as long as they've got normal body proportions and are lean. I'm 5'1

[rythmdivinee]

I am 1.74m or 5ft 8 which is above average height but I still think it is better if a man is taller than me.

[Cowboy6666]

What if the guy is 5'5 will you date him?

[rythmdivinee]

@Cowboy6666 probably not even if I did find his face attractive.
I still feel like I want a man who is taller than me.

[Cowboy6666]

Good luck with that girl.
by the way I'm only 5'7 lol

[rythmdivinee]

@Cowboy6666 okay

[aq121]

I dont see a problem with that, you're 5'8. I would be more surprised if you were ilke 5'0 and said a guy thats like 5'8 is short to you or something.

[rythmdivinee]

If a was 5'0 a man who is 5'8 would not be short to me because technically he is taller.

[aq121]

I know thats what i'm saying, I would be surprised if you were that tall and said that. Sometimes I hear such comments like that and i'm just like wtf? But I can understand, you're a bit tall and most women do want a guy that's taller.

[rythmdivinee]

Yes, i think it is true most women want a man who is taller.

[JHAYES317]

Why? Is it because you view tall men as socially superior? Or is that you don’t like to look down?

[zagor]

Lots of short guys get girls. Lots of tall guys don't. My cousin is 6'3 and pathetic with women. Don't blame it all on your height.

[zagor]

@IvanaCox Oh really? You know the short guys I've known? You know my cousin?

[Mystic_Nova]

In 5 1. It really depends on the guy and hows he's built. I typically like at least 5 7. But agian, it depends

[aq121]

Depends on what? I mean in two scenarios you meet one guy whose under 5'7, great guy, attractive, not very big and then you meet a guy whose 5'7+ whose built but is an asshole which would you choose? I'm sure you understand where i'm getting with this. You shouldn't look past height and see the other qualities in men.

[aq121]

***You should look past height

[Mystic_Nova]

I'm not gonna be into a man I'm not attracted to and his personality means a lot as well. And like I said it depends on what he looks like the under 57 guy. Like, if he's skinny and scrawny. I'm not into that in general, even tall guys, I'm more into Endomorph body types, but on short guys, I don't know how that would look

[aq121]

I understand that, but you have to take into account that you have specific requirements that not every guy may fit. In fact you may find someone that fits all these requirements and then you don't even get along and aren't compatible. What i'm saying is that personality should come first before appearance, always. Looks get you in the door, but personality is what matters most. It sounds like to me that you care more about appearance rather than personanlity from what you are telling me.

[Mystic_Nova]

Nope, conidering your question is about appearance that's what I'm basing my answers on. And you're wrong. Appearance means a lot to majority of people. While I'm happy to be friends with the dude, if I'm not attracted to you, your personality won't matter if I'm not attracted to you. How can you kiss a person or have physical relations with a person you dont find attractive?

Also, Endomorph body isn't typically on that fit. Its thicc men.

[aq121]

Okay so what you're basing your attraction off of is appearance because everything you're telling me has nothing to do with personality. Be mindful, because anyone can reject you for multiple reasons as well. Why wouldn't personality matter? So you're telling me you can be with a guy that you like and you're attracted to, but he abuses you and cheats on you, thats okay?

[aq121]

*never mind I read your reply wrong, disregard what I said previously about personality. Okay, well to each their own. You're just going to make it harder for yourself.

[Mystic_Nova]

Not really. Plenty of guys are built the way I like🤷🏼‍♀️ and their personality are also pretty good where I live. So, no use going for men who when they ask me if I love them, and think their sexy, I dont have to lie to them. Not much of relationship when you can't find your own partner appealing.

[aq121]

Then you have to understand that although you find someone attractive doesn't mean they are attracted to you. If it worked like that, plenty of people would have a very easy time. If you have standards, then expect the men you are seeking also having standards.

[Mystic_Nova]

And do I expect every man to like me? Nope. And considering they'd be the ones pursuing me typically, there will be some attraction.

And that's fine if he has his tastes, if I'm not it, I dont care lol its bye bye at that case.

[aq121]

Lol why would they be pursuing you?

[Mystic_Nova]

Thats how courting usually works. Guy sees girls he likes and introduces himself.

[Mystic_Nova]

Had done to me enough times to know

[aq121]

No thats not usually how it works all the time. There are hundreds and hundreds of women that go after guys rather than the other way around. Don't think its one-sided.

[Mystic_Nova]

Yeah and it happens most of the time with men pursuing. Typically why men on here wish that women would be the ones to ask

[FakeName123]

Hardly possible to look past height when her eye-level is on chestsize.

[JHAYES317]

More short men are endomorphs than tall men generally…ever see a dwarf? A lot of them are pretty stocky…whereas if you look at the tallest men ever, most of them are pretty lean

[Fuentes]

I never heard of this

[Nachowedgie]

Yeah
