Girls, would you date a shorter guy? If so, how shorter is the limit, if you have a limit?

[kinggeorge007]

Comments are open to both genders, so let me know what you think about this whole situation of a tall-girl + a short guy dating.

Yes (Girls)

No (Girls)

Guys who like taller girls

Guys who don't like taller girls

[WonderBell99]

Personally, I wouldn’t date someone shorter than me since I’m already quite short (5’2), but the shortest guy I would date is 5’6. I would have no problem dating someone shorter if I was taller, like around 5’8 or something.

Zendaya and Tom make a great couple and zendaya is taller in the relationship. If you’re worried about people making snarky remarks behind your back, or the relationship turning weird because they’re taller… forget about all those. These people who talk about your relationship behind your back are not worth it. If you really like this person and do not mind the height difference, go out with them.

[JHAYES317]

Why does it make a difference if you are 5’2” or 5’8”? A 5’0” guy to you would be the same relative difference of a 5’6” guy with 5’8” woman

[Aphrodite801]

Nope

[coachTanthony]

I have always dated tall women. They didn't seem to mind at all. I think tall women realize that a good man will always be tall in the way they handle themselves and the confidence they show.

[jennifer_bloom]

Personality is important so there is no limit to how short he can be before I will not date him. I think women like tall guys because they look more dominant, but I do not need a dominant guy, only one who is nice and loyal.

[Pinay_ako]

I’m already too short. At 4’11, I don’t think I want to date a baby 😑

[JHAYES317]

A baby? So midgets are babies? That’s fucked up. Learn some manners.

[HighValue]

Most of them won't, even the ones that claim that they will. If they seriously would, why are there almost no girls with shorter guys long term?

Go out in public around holiday time to see the long term couples and count how many couples have a taller guy vs how many have a taller woman in the relationship.

And the ones that tried it, they left because it bothered them. They may use something else for an excuse, but they won't be with a shorter guy for long term. It is very rare.

[SomewhereElse]

I think for the most part you are right, but sometimes it's also the guy who has more of a problem with it. I don't have a height preference myself, but will most likely never date another short guy. The first left to date another girl who happened to be equal height with him ( I was half a head taller), the second did the exact same thing. Coincidence? Don't think so... they were also both incredibly insecure about their height.

[MCheetah]

@HighValue
FACTS!
If you're six feet and taller as a man, height is a non-issue for you.
If you're below six feet (short), then height is going to have half of women out there automatically reject you.
And if you're same height or shorter than her, then MOST women will automatically reject you.

[MCheetah]

@SomewhereElse
How tall are you and what was his height?
I'm short myself (180 cm) but I would never do something so scummy.

[SomewhereElse]

@MCheetah How are you short at 180cm? That's definitely considered tall where I live! I'm at the taller end of average at 165cm. Depends on the location I guess, when I lived in some parts of Germany I felt like a midget at that height, and when I visited the Netherlands I felt like a dwarf. Never measured either of my short exes, but I would guess they were somewhere between 153-160.

[MCheetah]

@SomewhereElse
That is sh*t-tier / female height where I'm from, the US. The only thing more insulting than that is to call someone at that size worthless ('Durchschnittlich, mittelmäßig'), which some people do, which I find to be very offensive. But it's short, or more specifically to you, "not tall." They're the same thing.

And most women where I'm from tend to be about 166 to 169 as the median height. I figured you were tall for a female, like 178. But it turns out, your exes were just extremely short.

[SomewhereElse]

@MCheetah damn, that's brutal and wild to me. And so strange, I've done a fair bit of traveling & some studying in the US and it seemed to be pretty diverse height-wise? (Bay Area, NYC, Washington, Detroit). What a difference. My exes both got a lot of shit for their height (almost exclusively from other guys by the way). But guys around 180 were definitely considered tall, "short" was 170 or below. I mean in a country like the Neatherlands I'd kind of get it, not that I walk around with a measuring stick but the men did seem to be exceptionally tall there for the most part. But in other places... ?

Anyway. I think it's completely stupid to make assumptions about whether people are worthless or not based on their height. Kind of seems like a gold-digging status symbol almost? I completely understand if someone doesn't find someone of a certain height attractive, everyone has their preferences.

Durchschnittlich / mittelmäßig just means "average" by the way, not worthless. Not that it's something I'd enjoy being called either. But realistically most of us are :)

[MCheetah]

@SomewhereElse
No. I'm telling you, most white and black men under 35 in the United States are 180-184 cm. So that's "not tall." Which like I said, is just a synonym for short. I just prefer saying that to "not tall," which is longer and a snowflake euphemism. Sure, Mexican American and Asian American men, especially those over 40, are even shorter than that, like 173, which causes the national median to go down to 178. But most American males are white or black men. Hell, even women in the US easily exceed 180. It's not that uncommon to see women six feet and taller. Maybe 5% of them are that tall.

Like I said, I've been sh*t on by so many women (who like I said, are around 168, meaning they're my height in heels) and have the emotional baggage to go with it. I f*cking LOATHE being as short as I am in ways words can't describe. But I've certainly tried with MyTakes in the past.

I've given up pursing women because NONE of them would be acceptable with a guy as short as me. And unlike all other men my height or shorter, I'm not going to simp and beg a woman to be with me. No; I'd want actual love, not a one-sided abusive relationship. Other short men do that, but I can't handle that.

And yeah, I know what those German words mean. That is what worthless means. Disposable. Replaceable. Valueless. Some people will insult me by calling me that because of my height, and it f*cking drives me insane. Legitimately one of the only things that offends me because I didn't choose to be this short, and shouldn't be compared to valuelessness because of it!

[MCheetah]

No, they would not. 96% of straight women would NOT date a same height or shorter guy (and 50% of straight women don't even want to date short-but-taller men in general, like 5'8"-5'11" or shorter).

But lots of women love to LIE on the internet, because heaven forbid a woman make herself look bad or tell the truth. But all of us men KNOW reality and know just how many short men end up in happy relationships (maybe 5% at best).

[MCheetah]

I voted C. Most girls I dated were taller than my short ass. The shortest one I dated, who was below me, was 5'9"/175 cm.

[GinaEdwards]

I would date a guy 5'8 (cause that is also my height) , I don't litterly want to look down on the guy, so I actually would prefers someone who isn't shorter

[river23]

In all honesty I would like to say there's a limit but if I loved the guy he can super short I'd still date him and also In about 1 year if I'm still the same height I'll be official considered a dwarf so I don't care but I don't truly have a limit though in all honesty I would like it if he were taller than me but if not oh well I guess.

[Berethor]

A guy should be taller, I prefer short girls, but I might not have much of a choice, because tall girls tend to show more interest in me than short girls, I am not sure why.

[MCheetah]

Tall girls like short guys more than short girls like short guys. We're both midget brothers; that's why taller girls are into us.

[Berethor]

Maybe that the reason, but at least with are kings of manlets, it's something. :)

[SaartjieJane]

Totally. The only issue with shorter guys is that more often than not they’re actually the ones who have a problem with the height difference (in my experience)
I’ve been on a few dates with guys my height and they all were off about it!
They just act intimidated and weak about it in my opinion. They all want a super tiny girl themselves lol.
Otherwise if men weren’t like that then sure! I’m rather all about how a man makes me feel.

[RiseofArtemis]

I'd actually want a girl that is as tall as me. Reasons why is, if you are the same height you don't need to constantly change stuff to your height like a car. You can both use it without having to change it. Same with the kitchen, I'm not tall myself at 5.4

[JHAYES317]

Most men aren’t like that. That’s a small subset of men. Ironically tall men are more insecure about women being taller than them than short men

[sage2021]

I am only 5'1-1/2". So you might ask me who do I look up to? And I would have to say EVERYONE!!! 🙂

Since I am not taller I guess I can't answer your question.
But if I was taller I would say no more than 3" shorter.

[JHAYES317]

There are still guys shorter than you you know that right?

[Kori1236]

I’m 5’3” I’ll date my height or taller. I have dated shorter but he made his height his personality and acted like a victim all the time it was very off putting.

[JHAYES317]

Well given the way society treats short men, you shouldn’t have been surprised. If anything you should have empathized with him, then maybe you’d understand why he felt like a victim, then he’d stop bringing it up if he knew that you underrate of how he felt

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

My cousin, who's 5'7", was once married, and has two kids. He's now dating another woman, who has three kids of her own

I'm not really a fan of him right now though, or her.

I'm 5'8", so, if a shorter person than me, can find love, I'm pretty sure any man can

[Anonymous]

I'm already short as is, so I would kind of prefer to be with someone a little taller than me, doesn't have to be a wide stretch lmao.. I think anywhere between 5'4-6'1 is fine, I guess. I usually don't even really pay attention to it unless the difference is super obvious (like 5'3 and 5'9 or 5'11) because I'm so invested in the person I could care less.

[Haha456]

I'm 5'4'.5''. I would date a guy the same height as me but I would not date anyone shorter. Same with guys, its very difficult to find a guy who would want to date a girl taller than him.

[ManhattanMan1212]

Can I ask you a question?

[Haha456]

@ManhattanMan1212

Sure

[ManhattanMan1212]

Would you date a tall guy if he only has a average penis size?

[Haha456]

@ManhattanMan1212

thats the type of question an 18 yr old would ask, seriously?

[JHAYES317]

False. Many guys would date a girl taller than them. Can’t say the same for girls dating shorter guys. Look it up there are real stats out there

[Billlewis]

Wow... 82% of the respondents said 'No'... is there any doubt that women are becoming more and more selective (read:picky) in their relationships? I think this is absolutely fantastic.

[Debs1]

No I wouldn’t, suddenly become a lot less attractive if they are shorter than me

[JHAYES317]

Why?

[Rania05]

I'm 1,76 meter tall and I think I can date those about 168 tall

[77five]

Now? No. But when I was younger there was this man that was probably an inch shorter than me that I really liked

[JHAYES317]

Why not now? The question is hypothetically, if you were single and you ran into a guy you was shorter than you, would you give him a shot?

[GinaEdwards]

I am 5 foot 8, I prefer someone my height or taller..

[JHAYES317]

Fair but would you reject a guy if he was 5’5” and asked you out if he had a fun personality?

[misfittoy]

i would date 4'6 ish im 4'11 ish so not much difference

[Cherry234]

Most likely not. I'm 5'5" so I want a guy that's at least as tall as me.

[insteadfew]

A guy 5'5 is ok?

[Cherry234]

@insteadfew Yeah 5'5 isn't a dealbreaker.

[insteadfew]

5'4 would be a deal breaker?

[Cherry234]

@insteadfew Yeah probably

[insteadfew]

One inch difference isn't even much visible

[Cherry234]

@insteadfew I know, but I'd rather not date someone shorter than me. I'm only 5'5. It would be different if I was 5'10 or something like that.

[JHAYES317]

What does the fact that you are 5’5” justify anything?

[Guy13]

Subtract 4 inches from your height and that’s the girl height for you.

[TroyDT]

I've dated taller than I am, and I'm 6'2. But I also know girls under 5'6 who will not consider a guy under 6' so it is just one of those individual preference things.

[AddylynnNightingale]

I don't know what my limit would be. The 'lowest' I've gone was 5'3.

[SmokinAces2000]

Dating wasn’t a problem for me when I was short, I was 5”5 from 8th grade to 11th and I didn’t have many issues

[kikissss]

I have, but if he is complexed about it then there is no point of dating

[Anonymous]

Limit is, he shouldn't be too smaller than me since it looks awkward

[insteadfew]

What's your height?

[Anonymous]

Money makes up for lack of height. But it's not gonna be for long term like that anyway.

[Anonymous]

I have no problem with taller girls, but i would prefer someone who is shorter then me.

[Nikki1989]

My height - 5'2

[JHAYES317]

Why not like an inch shorter

[Justneedtokno]

I am 4’11 I’m not dating that short.

[zagor]

So would you date 5'2? 5'6?

[Justneedtokno]

Those are ok you just can be my height. It has to be some extraordinary circumstance.

[JHAYES317]

Why not?

[Joker_]

they want at least 6 inches

[Lynn2001]

He was 5’7 and I was 5’5

[Eternallylucky]

5'7 to 5'9.

[JHAYES317]

That’s not short
