Search Results: dating a short guy

I am venting and know I might get some hate for this. I’m 26 with no real dating history. I’ve had a short term relationship which was absolute shit. I was told in HS and college to wait it out, be patient and focus on your education. Years later, I’m graduated, own my place and have a decent living. I don’t necessarily want kids but I just don’t get my lack of suitors. I know I’m not a ten, at least cute. People have complimented my looks, I struggled with my weight growing up. I was chubbier so I can see how in Hs I was overlooked. Now I’m thinner, I gained a bit of weight during COVID but am close to my smallest weight from 3 years ago. I looked alright in college and never got approached. I hate when people ask why I don’t have a man and while that question can either be a compliment or just a dig to get into my business, I wonder myself. I’ve been on the dating apps for years and have called quits, was on and off. I was just frustrated with the guys that came my way. I always attract the men I would not want to date physically, hence why that short term relationship I had did not work. On the rare occasion I send a message first, it fizzled out very quick. When guys message me first, it goes a little further. The cute guys are usually dicks, the decent looking guys are alright but a little too short for my preferences and the less attractive guys are always pursuing. They have decent personalities but just not what I want in a man. Am I just cursed or too picky?

I have myself on public, I’m not going to chicken out and be anonymous. I am only 5’7 and have attracted decent looking guys but they’re my height or only taller by an inch. I don’t wear heels
but I just prefer a taller glass of water. Now I see attractive women like Mandy Moore, Christy Carlson Romano etc. I don’t know for certain if the guy is shorter, they could be wearing heels. But if that’s the case they’re maybe an inch or so apart in height.

A woman in her mid twenties has never been in a long term relationship. The only time she dated someone, it was with someone she did not find attractive. She used the dating apps and that’s the only way she met guys. She’s told she’s attractive, however, only attracts men she isn’t physically attracted to. She usually attracts men that she does not find good looking with decent personalities. If the guy is good looking, they’re douchey or they’re good looking but too short for her preferences. Should she just settle for the sake of not being lonely or is she too picky?

I’m in my mid twenties and never been in a long term relationship. The longest I saw someone was for a few months and he was not someone I found physically attractive. I’ve only ever met guys through dating apps and have to rely on them because I don’t know how else to meet people. I’ve been on and off the dating apps for years. I have been off them for maybe 3 months and don’t plan to go back on. I just don’t get why I’m so unlucky in love, most people I know are able to get dates and jump into relationships. I’ve clearly learned to be alone but I think I know my potential, I’m not unrealistic. I know I’m not a ten but think I should be able to attract a decent guy that checks off a few boxes. I’ve only ever attracted men I don’t find good looking. If they’re good looking they’re jerks or if they’re cute/nice they end up being too short. I’ve learned to accept I will end up alone, I just think it’s really uncalled for and unfair. All I ever wanted was to find someone decent, they say love finds you well it better because I am going to stop looking.
