Girls, how short is considered "too short" in a guy?

[verknallt]

Anything below my Height

6 ft

5'10

5'8

5'6

Anything below 5'5

[TheRealPepperPotts]

I'm petite, and I prefer taller guys at face value. Here's why: I subconsciously feel safer with a taller guy. It's stupid, I think it's a silly and superficial preference, but if I really think about why I shy away from shorter guys (5' 8" and under), that's why. I think I could definitely be attracted to a shorter guy if I got to know him. I'm just saying if you take ten guys and put them in a line up, I'm likely going to be drawn to the taller end of the line up first.

There, I said it. I'm sorry! :(

[verknallt]

And in what context or situation would the taller guy give you more protection?

Are you talking about casually getting cat called on the street or something else?

I’m six foot but athletic and muscular at 205 lbs. I put 6’1 on my dating profiles a few years ago and simply wore sole inserts or boots on the first dates. They never cared or noticed, but I certainly noticed how many more matches and dates I got. Lol

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@verknallt It's just a feeling; no rhyme or reason to it. I feel exposed around shorter guys and protected around taller ones. Like I said, it's dumb and I hate that I tend to feel greater attraction toward taller guys. Taller guys can totally be taken out by shorter, fitter guys, so there's no rationale except a subconscious feeling.

That being said, I would totally date a shorter guy if we hit it off. :D

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@Oncewildtwiceburned That's so crazy how a single inch made a difference! We are such superficial creatures. :D

[TrueConfection]

I chose below 5'6. I would say anything below my height, but I dated a guy who was over 1 inch shorter than I am and I've met a couple other men I would date that are a little shorter than me. But... In my experience, it is the guy who has the hangup about his height. For that reason, I would never date a guy shorter than myself again.

[verknallt]

What was the problem he had with his Height?

[TrueConfection]

He was insecure about not being taller than his girlfriend (me) and complained about it a lot.

[verknallt]

He should've been thankful that he had a girlfriend in the first place

[RingOfFire]

Geez he complained about it? What are you supposed to do about it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[AviatorTom]

Too short is not a number. A guy is too short if he cannot kiss the girl on the lips without using a ladder. Anything else is okay.

[LiamJHayden]

According to most of the guys on here, there is a magic number.

[TrueConfection]

😂😂😂

[SuckOnThisOpinion]

None of the above, I've had a thing with a dude slightly below my height. Of all the factors that make someone attractive to me, height isn't very high on the list.

Guys he was hung by the way don't judge a book by it's length or smt

[IslaTheWitch]

let's be honest, if he is shorter than me... :D

[7Phoenix7]

😂🤣

[IslaTheWitch]

@7Phoenix7 what? it would be complicated, right? :D

[7Phoenix7]

It would be a very SMALL issue 😅

[IslaTheWitch]

@7Phoenix7 lmfao

[caitycat21]

I’m 4”11 so I wouldn’t go for any guy who’s my height or shorter, gotta give my kids a fighting chance 😭

[verknallt]

True 😅

but what is the bare minimum for height when you look for a partner?

[Alexandrubaschet08]

As a 6'3'' guy i hate to date any girl who have expectation to a certain height from me. If i was 5' or less seems i will not have much chances so hope we will never meet you snobby girls

[genericname85]

while most will say "anything below my hight", when presented with a choice, they won't pick the smaller one. it's not a deal breaking preference. but it definitely is one.

[thatshydork]

If he’s at a height where his face would go straight into my chest, that’s too short. Aside from that, I don’t give a fuck how short he is.

[verknallt]

Believe me even a 6ft 4 dude would love his face to go straight into your chest 😂

[Kori1236]

I prefer taller. I’m 5’3”. But I’d consider too short less than 5’. My ex was 5’ nothing wrong with him and we still keep in some contact

[Smashingdoozy]

Personally I don't care. Shorter than me is perfectly fine.

[jjj101010]

[Smashingdoozy]

@jjj101010 5'3

[Anonymous]

[morganherrel]

@SugarSugarplum oof someone actually created this you're hilarious sugar LOL

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'm 4'9 so I'll say anything below my height is too short for sure.

[Goahead76]

We need a photo together, my 6'5 next to your 4'9 😆

[PBandJ_Nerd]

@Goahead76 Why?

[Goahead76]

It would be hilarious. I had two roommates in college like this where one guy was like 6'7 and the other 5'2 and it was just comical whenever they would walk around near each other.

[paledreams]

Don't be shy ladies - I said they'd think anything under 5 foot 10 to be short lol 😂😆 for a ♂️ a manly man

[Apple1996]
