If a guy calls me short, does that mean he's not attracted to me?

Question

there's this guy I hang around with
I secetly like him
he's really tall - 6ft4
And im 5ft1
Whenever we hang out, he calls me "shorty" or "midget"
E. g. how are you midget?
Aww you got tiny legs
Aww look at how you walk, like a tiny midget
Dont walk too fast with those tiny legs, midget
Etc etc
Does this mean he's not attracted to me?

Little one. . . I don't about the word "midget". But when a man calls you "shorty", that really means he is attracted to you.

At least, in my culture that's what it means.

"You drive me crazy shorty I
Need to see you and feel you next to me
I provide everything you need and I
Like your smile I don't wanna see you cry
Got some questions that I got to ask and I
Hope you can come up with the answers babe"

Listen to his tone and look at his facial expression, does it sounds mean?
If not he just likes to tease you and I honestly think you should not pay too much attention to it if it does not bother you too much.

Teasing can be a sign for a person to like the other though.

Well considering I'm 5'1 (nearly 5'2 xD), dating a 6'4 guy who also teases me I think I can weigh in here, lol. He used to make fun of my height before we were dating, similar comments, never anything hurtful just banter. Unless he hurts you with his words intentionally then it's probably the same type of deal.

It doesn't really say anything about if he likes you or not. It's just a fact that you are short. I've been called short as an insult, as a compliment and just as a neutral comment.

I'm 4'11 I've been called that so many times even by my ex boyfriend and my manager who had an crush on me. It's funny, I laugh everytime and they will laugh as well.
Don't look at it as him not being attracted to, just laugh and say something back to him.

He could be teasing you, both a guy friend of mine and my boyfriend call me short or midget. They do it more because they get a reaction when they do it.
As long as its not in a mean nasty kinda way I wouldn't worry about it.

It can definitely mean he's not attracted to you.
It can mean he likes you. Then there's a twist. He could be negging you, as gameplay, to attract you. Or, he's the typ guy making fun of a girl he likes. My opinion of either one of those guys is not high, so perhaps you should look elsewhere, regardless. Unless you're into one of the guys I just described (regardless of his "good" qualities), keep moving...

He probably likes you and is teasing you
Doesn't like you but is still teasing you or being rude to you
Likes you and thinks your height is cute and thinks it's a compliment to call you those things even though they are hardly a compliment lol
I can't tell you what he feels or thinks so you should just ask him why he says those things to you and if it offends you or something ask him to stop

It's possible that he's just utterly clueless about how to flirt, but that these ideas are even entering his head is a bad sign: "midget"? "look at how you walk"? WTF? This isn't flirting.

If he were attracted to you, he'd have a hard time thinking beyond the lustful thoughts I have when I'm around a woman so deliciously short, like what MacViking wrote.

Find someone who thinks short is hot. We can't be that rare.

He could be teasing/joking with you. I mean, clearly he's tall. My friends and boyfriend jokingly call me short.

Jmcmanning · Answer

It's possible he's not. Only he can tell you if he's attracted to you or not. Sounds more like friendly teasing than anything.

Anonymous · Answer

I really hope you're not that girl whose boyfriend calls his friend shorty and jokes around with her?

It can be either way, but I think it basically means he doesn't have a lot to say and is maybe teasing the girl because he gets a reaction.

CptNormalguy · Answer

I call my coworker shorty but not midget. Anyways I like her so I wouldn't say he doesn't like you.

Jaye234 · Answer

He's teasing you. I don't think its to make you feel bad though.  If it does hurt your feelings tell him. He'll stop.

TadCurious · Answer

I think it means he's just rude. It's really inconsiderate to refer to people based on physical characteristics they have no control over --- like your height.

Browneye57 · Answer

At least your pollsters get it.  He's making fun of you, teasing you, cuz he likes you. But you're keeping your interest in him a secret? That's a fail.

Anonymous · Answer

I can't really tell whether he is attracted to you based on this one thing. Some guys who have called me short were teasing me but some were just being plain mean.

CarpetDenim · Answer

He’s probably just teasing you because he likes how short you are

vald9inches · Answer

I am 6'5 and i am super attracted to girls a lot more shorter than me such as your height. but calling you a midget all the time is mean not sure if that's his way of flirting with you or teasing you.

_Crystal · Answer

No because I’m short too and every guy that called me that ended up hitting on me haha

lousiana1020 · Answer
