there's this guy who is perfect. He is really sweet and he is such a gentlemen but he is short. Not necessarily shorter than you but just considered short. Say like you're 5'1 and he is 5'4
He's still taller than you.
If height is a deal breaker for you it's gonna be a hard dating life.
And I'm a tall guy saying it, being tall doesn't automatically make you a better partner, I knew a guy who was even taller than me and the worst possible boyfriend anyone could have.
Do whatever you want but don't let society dictate who you find attractive just because it says "tall is better"
I never understand this question, I don't understand why if you really like someone their height becomes a problem. I just don't get it, is it because you don't want other people to see you dating someone shorter than you? What the fuck is there opinion matter? As long as you're happy, date whoever you want
I dont know if I'd consider that short (relatively) since 3' inches taller than me is still 3' inches taller. I wouldn't care.
i already am willing to date a guy that shorter than me. i doubt i would care if he was a few inches taller
I'm 5'10 and I'm willing to date a guy that's like 5'5.
4'11 probably not just due to it feeling weird to kiss someone that much shorter and that goes for a guy being 6'11 too if he were that much taller.
Damn. So your answer isn't exactly true. I hate when girls say that. "I'd date shorter than men" really means "only an inch or two within my height."
That's just one reason why my short ass gave up the dating world entirely. I'm only 180-181 cm and got so sick of being told I'm worthless by women because of it. 😔
are you trolling?, 5'5 is short and that's 5 inches less than my height. not " only an inch or two". also, how is your height short when that's average height lol

I'm also 5'4, girls that are also 5'1 act weird with my height and say i'm too short. I automatically get turned off. Just dont be weird or he will lose interest immediately and go for a girl under 5'0. A lot of women that are 5'0+ act weird with my height and tell me i'm too short. At this point, I think i'm setting a limit of 4'11 and wouldn't want a girl taller because girls 4'11 and shorter wouldn't be hesitant on my height and just fucking accept it.
I am 4'11 and I endorse this comment haha. My boyfriend is 5'5 and I didn't bat an eye at it.
@Xoxocutekitty Yeah, there's also countries of short men with women that are under 5'0. Philippine average height for men is 5'4, women are 4'11 on average. Indonesian men are 5'2 average height, Indonesian women are 4'8 average height. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock together.
@TommyWiseau69
As I said before, I'm not quite as short as you and have gotten sh*t on by women for height, all the same. There's a seven inch difference between us. I've probably had more women suggest to me to KYS for height than you have. Being short sucks, regardless of the number. If you're under six feet, you're SOL.
That's true, if you're short, and you aren't at the very least 5 inches taller than a woman, she will reject you 9 times out of 10, even if you're 4 inches taller than her.
Most women would not. A reluctant no if he's short in general (less than six feet) and a hard empathic "No!" if he's shorter than her (under 5'5").
Biggest gap I ever had in dating was seven inches; yes, my short hobbit-ass was seven inches (17 cm) shorter than her! She was 197 cm, or six-foot-six.
I'm pretty much average. But I would totally understand if a girl that I (unfortunately) like wishes to have a man taller than me, as long as she openly and friendly let's me know about that.
''Painful'' as it is, but... there will be other girls to like :)
Is he really short then though? He's 5'4 and I would be 5'1. If you prefer your man to be taller than you, that should be enough then. Now I'm 5'10, if he was still 5'4, I would still happily date him, no questions asked.
That’s my height… 😂
It’s never been a big obstacle in my dating life though.
At the end of the day, it’s all about chemistry, charm, and connection. 😊
why get upset about something that he can not change? how he makes you feel is more important. Now, i could see if he lied saying that he was 6 foot 9 but was really 4 foot tall.
Part of being a perfect guy is being tall and dominant. Because psychologically, even babies prefer dominant looking men over their actual father. They assume the dominant man *is* their father. You wouldn't believe the looks I get from random babies out in public. They literally stare at me
He would still be taller than me so I guess it would be fine. I've always preferred guys that are my height or a few inches taller. I'm 5'4 and my husband is 5'7.
if he is 3 inches taller than you, he is not a short guy. he is literally still taller than you
No it doesn't work like that. I'm also 5'4 too. Regardless of how short a girl is compared to me, it makes sense if she would consider me a short guy and refer me as such. Its not in reference to their height, its in general. I wouldn't care.
@TommyWiseau69
plenty of short guys date girls who are shorter than them.
Yes of course, you say he is perfect. So I won't hesitate, otherwise someone else will get him
I don’t want someone shorter but I’m 5’2 so even if he’s like 5’5 I wouldn’t care
If he was somehow shorter than me then I would probably not date him, but I'm 4'10 so that's pretty unlikely
If you are 5’1 and he is 5’4… he isn’t short for you. He’s taller…
I'm also 5'4 too, the OP isn't referring the guy to her height its in general. Literally everyone ranging from the height of a dwarf to a gigantic man would consider me short. Its the most accurate label in regard to my physical appearance.
@TommyWiseau69 My opinion was made based on how I wanted to reply at the time. The askers reference wouldn’t be short for her.
I would never even think twice about it. How he makes me feel is far more important.
Of course. His height isn't going to dictate how he makes you feel.
I would never date a short guy. Or a guy in general
How short? Shorter than me… No… my size or almost my size yes
I don't date guys, but if he is short then he can't be perfect, guy's shortness is a flaw.
So i'm a short guy at 5'4, if its a flaw should I kill myself?
@Haha456 Thats probably the most inaccurate and weirdest comparison i've ever heard
@TommyWiseau69 small guy, you should migrate to Timor-Leste. :)

Thats not the question I asked
@TommyWiseau69
there are plenty of guys who are 5'4'' who have girlfriends. you just don't like to admit you lack other qualities.
So if a short guy had a gun to his head you would encourage him to take the shot?
@Haha456 where are these plenty of 5'4 guys? I've literally never seen that any 5'4 men since the day I was born. I'm usually lie the only one
*like
@Haha456 also how am I supposed to find someone if daring a short guy is like "dating an older woman" and guys shortness is a "flaw."
*dating a short guy
@TommyWiseau69
I know a couple of guys at my job who are 5'4'' to 5'7'' who have girlfriend / wives and kids.
@Haha456 you didn't answer my question
@Haha456 a couple of guys isn't the whole entire population of short men
@TommyWiseau69
an older woman can always find someone if she is looking for a man older than her.
A 35-year-old man will not be interested in a 45 yr old woman. But if the 45 yr old woman looks for a 58 yr old man, she may find someone.
If you're a 5'4'' guy, go look for a girl shorter than you.
@TommyWiseau69
my dad is just 5'5''. My mom is 5'4''. my dad is short. he did it.
@Haha456 women shorter than me still want big ass guys. Apparently I won't be able to find someone because some dipshit like @berethor thinks it's a "flaw." You wanna jump on that too?
@TommyWiseau69
maybe lower your own standards and you will find someone.
Vast majority of plain janes can't afford to only date tall guys otherwise, they'd be single forever.
@Haha456 i don't have standards. I don't care about height. I've liked girls taller than me it wasn't the same way back. I'm mostly just gonna go for girls under 5 feet or something. They're usually never hesitant on a short guys height.
@TommyWiseau69
maybe its cuz you're also unattractive and lack personality / social skills.
@Haha456 no I don't lack social skills. No i don't believe I'm unattractive. No my personality isn't bad but people that piss me off will see that worst of me like. Women 5'0+ just don't want a 5'4 guy. Idc though. Women under 5'0 are cuter anyway
@TommyWiseau69
so why are you complaining women like taller guys if you like shorter women?
I can't like a taller guy but you prefer shorter girls.
@Haha456 I never said I specifically like shorter women under 5'0 only and have stated I liked taller women. I've liked women out of that range. I'm saying that I feel like women under 5'0 would accept my height the most. It's not a dealbreaker but my chances are better with those women. If women like taller guys than w/e. Ill just have to go for girls much shorter than me
@TommyWiseau69
um... no. I read clearly that you wrote that "shorter girls are cuter anyways".
women like taller men. men like shorter women. its just biology.
@TommyWiseau69
As a woman who is 5'4.5". But 5'5'' with shoes on. I might take offense to that if I were interested in you and wanted to date you.
I have been on dates with guys who were 5'8'' who said that I was too tall for him. I'm 5'5'' with shoes on and he said I was too tall.
@Haha456 well he's not your height or shorter. I'm 5'4 but women my height want taller guys so naturally I'll go for girls shorter than them. If I was 5'8 though, that height wouldn't matter to me. Even being a 5'4 guy idc if a girl is my height or taller, it's the other way around. But if I a girl were my height and taller and she liked me and I liked her it really wouldn't be a problem. It's a numbers game
@TommyWiseau69
why would it matter if I want a taller guy? you want a shorter woman.
you don't want a woman who is my height. you want shorter.
why can't i like taller guys, if you want shorter girls?
quit lying.
@TommyWiseau69
girls complain about guys who are too short. guys complain about girls who are too tall.
@Haha456 yeah it's true. A guy said to me that "real women are 5'0 to 5'3 anything taller than 5'3 the girl is not cute and feminine." He was like 6'0 to 6'2ish. Tall guys do the same thing to short women the same way women do the same to tall guys
@TommyWiseau69
I think vast majority of tall men are dating taller women. Most tall guys aren't dating girls under 5'3''.
Short guys tend to date short women.
why not. Idc about the height all I care about is the personality/character 🤩
Perfect, but...
If height is all it takes to turn you off, he's not all that perfect.
AND - if height is the discriminator, it also says something about you.
I'm also the same height at 5'4. Girls that are like 5'0+ tell me i'm too short or just act weird with my height like i'm applying for a fucking job. Its a massive turn off and I lose interest immediately.
As long as he's the same height or taller than me then it's not a problem.
Yes I don’t have any problems. My dad is also only 2 inches taller than my 5'3 mom.
I also am 🤗
I'm 5'11 and he's 5'4. Gonna be 2 years together in October
Short and Tall are "relative" words
I don't date guys... fun sized girls, yes...
If it came down to having to explore the same side of the street, because I'm a short guy myself, I would perfer the guy be short like me too.
In general yes, but it depends how short
Short can be perfect, too.
Sure, because I really don't care
I see no buts, he's perfect. Yes, I would.
I’m a guy. Just want to see the results.
I’m 5ft and my boyfriend is like 5ft 2 lol
I was 5’5 with a guy that was 5’7
He is taller than you so go for it
Everyone's sweet on the internet 😂
Lmfaooooo 🤣
