Well yeah because it decreases your dating pool of women making it more difficult and competitive. Women who are equal height or taller than you won't give you the time or day if your shorter than them anyway. Although women nowadays who are shorter than you will still demand a tall man since feminism in west is code red for self entitlement and strong hypergamy in the female population.

Am not saying you can't find a girlfriend but these short girls who are shorter than you will be still chasing the tall model looking guys rather than hoping for you. The way I see it is over here in countries like UK, US, CA and AU; you might either just have to settle for the scraps, try and attain money and status to counteract your height or travel abroad to meet women from traditional backgrounds.

There is no disadvantage in being 5'6 and above. Some girls just can't bear to have a big one inside While others just enjoy a big one. When tall people have a tall partner and when short people have a short partners , there will not be much problem. But when there is a mismatch in height , i. e when a tall girl marries a short boy , he may not be able to penetrate deeper and the women will not be completely satisfied.

Well, 5'6"-5'7" is my height... So Yeah I want a man at least 5'9". Couple of inches taller than me ya know...

Yeah, below 5'8" becomes tricky for me as I'm 5'10" myself so I wouldn't wanna date a guy that much shorter..

Im not a guy, but 5'5 and above is perfectly fine with me considering I am a small gal but it depends.

It's probably as much of a disadvantage for a guy as being 6 feet tall or more is for a woman.

Depends on how short the girls that your interested in

legs_n_sheets · Answer

I'm 5'8" and I've never dated anyone taller than me, though I dated a girl of just about my height once.

It's safe to say you are going to be hard pressed finding women out there willing to date a shorter dude, but there are a myriad of women under that height, if not most. So no, I don't see it as a disadvantage.

Bandit74 · Answer

Yes, the further you are from being 6'2 the more disadvantaged you are.

Disadvantaged does not mean you are screwed tho. It just means compared to a taller guy you will have to compensate for what you lack in height with your other characteristics.

PiuBravoRagazzo · Answer

Yeah dude. Most women over 5'8" won't date you. Most girls want to date guys who are at least 3" taller.

That's ok though, other than that you should live a normal healthy life full of relationships and find a good career etc, unless you plan on going to the NBA 😂

super_k_c · Answer

I'm 5'8" and i don't think its a disadvantage at all. I don't think the height of someone should be a deciding factor for anyone, let alone an advantage or disadvantage. People are going to like you for who you are.

Princeofanons · Answer

Well you're probably limited to the girls who are shorter than you are unless height differential isn't an issue for you both. Bottom line is that you're missing out on those who are taller than you are

Rainie_ · Answer

Not at all... Im 5'3... Even so I would even date guys who are 5'3 too. Stop with the insecurities man. 🙄

SarahsSummer · Answer

Since that's taller than me or any of my friends, I don't see that as a problem.

singlebee · Answer

Girls above you heaight won't date you... some may date you or some short girls may or may not date you... according to their preferences
It all depends on the girl... I am sure girls under your height would date you!!!

Jacóbo · Answer

It's only a disadvantage when there are other tall guys around

Djaaaaaay · Answer

Your heights or hers doesn't have any bearing on anyone in particular. There's exceptions to everything in life out there. Depends only how you limit yourself in comparison to others that bar you from meeting someone else.

Josht13 · Answer

If it isn't considered attractive or a positive trait in your area then yes it is a disadvantage.

Wulfila · Answer

It's only a disadvantage if you allow it to become a crutch or something that you blame everything on. Don't make a big deal out of it, and you'll be fine.

JohnDoe3000 · Answer

Yes, better go look for a very short girl, though even many of them want their guy to be tall.

Nuala · Answer

The only negative thing for me would be that he might be self conscious about being shorter then me.
