Dating a short guy-How does it feel?

[Sara1989]

It depends on the build as some short guys are really small you know but others are well built.

He is an extremely fit guy with big shoulders but unfortunately he is maybe 4 cms taller than me. That is exactly what I will do. Will keep you posted.

Or perhaps they are simply attracted to their partners, like many of the taller women I have been with and or married.

 

As a STEM graduate with multiple tertiary qualifications my taller wife who is one year older than I, earns double my income. And exempting two years when she took maternity leave has always earned more than me.

 

Yet that didn't stop my wife from asking me out on a date, and later asking me to marry her. All while we have enjoyed a terrific life together through 21+ years, where we have enjoyed sharing a fun non-vanilla, high quality and high frequency sexual relationship.

Sadly the OP is short...SHORTER than the guy she's dating. But he's not ENOUGH taller than her...or something like that.

 

Seems silly and shallow to me to be honest.

[smackie9]

 

Yes, smackie, it is a preference, but please know that if you seek advice as if the subject was somewhat less than normal, you should expect some deeper discussions on the matter.

The only deepness that comes out of these conversations is the deeply disturbed haters causing a s^&% storm over something that no one has any control over.

 

I do respect those who are open minded and can focus on the task at hand simply helping the OP out without slamming them for how they feel.

I wonder who the haters are in this discussion? What help, exactly, does the OP need? To know that it's okay to date shorter men? Men who are still taller than herself, but not the idea of 'tall' that she has?

 

I am short and have never had problems dating. Still don't. I still don't understand what 'help' the OP needs in this regard. Baffling.

[smackie9]

I don't think any of the following are running out of women to date.

 

Bruno Mars - 5'5"

Mark Wahlberg - 5'8"

Kevin Hart - 5'2"

Ed Sheeran - 5'8"Sylvester Stallone - 5'7"

Joe Jonas - 5'7"

Kanye West - 5'8"

Usher - 5'8"

Tom Cruise - 5'7"

Zac Efron - 5'8"

This is where having money comes into play, and what being on the big screen can put such a sparkle on someones image. You can't tell how short they are....

She comes on here to get justification and hear it's ok to dump a man for being 'not tall enough to her liking'.

[Gr8fuln2020]

Okay, allow me to be of some assistance. OP, it's okay to dump someone who does not match your height preference. Done.

[olivetree]

If you're one of those people that gets more attached after sex, a roll in the hay might solve your problem.

This is completely anecdotal - but it's always seemed to me that in general, taller women care less about height rather than more. I don't know why.

Possibly because our dating pool would be a whole lot smaller if we ruled out guys who were our height or shorter.

I don't agree that her own height has anything to do with it. After all, many men who are fat only like thin women, etc.

 

I think this OP poses a pretty lame question. How does it feel? If you aren't attracted to him because of his height, it would feel like crap. If you are very attracted to him, you'll enjoy it.

Really?

 

I have a theory on that...if so, it is b/c they find after dating one tall jerk after another that height doesn't make for a happy relationship after all. Who would have guessed that?!

[Echo74]

I am a short woman, almost 5'3''. It's untrue we fit better with tall men. My ex was 6'4'' and it was literally dangerous for me being around him, I don't know how many times he accidentally knocked me in the face with his elbow. It's also very awkward in bed and uncomfortable or impossible for some positions. Holding hands while walking looks weird, it's like holding your dad's hands.

.

 

Wow really?! I'm the same height as you and also dated a 6'4" guy...for 3 years. He never once accidentally elbowed me. And he was the best bed partner I've ever had. Like a spiritual experience almost, lol!

 

That said, I think height or a lack thereof, is just another physical preference that most human beings have. Like some men are more attracted to large breasted women or a people who only date particular ethnicities. I myself enjoyed dating tall men because it made me feel safe having that guy "hovering" over me, lol. In my book, dating is about attraction...physical, mental and emotional. And it's not being shallow at all because it's personal preference that attracts us to another person. But if you're dating him and enjoy him other than with his height, then it's a start. But if bothers you that much, then cut your loses sooner rather than later. You don't need the approval of others, just go with your gut.

They're all different.

 

I don't think tall guys as a group are jerks anymore than short guys are, I've got plenty of great friends who are tall, while I'm the shortest man amongst my male friends.

 

The circa 6'2" woman I was with, simply had a preference for shorter men and was married to shorter men who were all around my height, before and and after me.

 

While my current (2nd) wife had exclusively dated taller men 6' and taller and does has a preference for taller men. Yet she dumped all of the other taller men she was with, whenever they were needy, insecure, insipid and were week, or in one instance were chasing others.

 

Then there was another one she dumped because he was smitten to desperation, aka wanting to marry her after a few weeks without even having sex with her.

 

She also dumped a guy because he started balding!!! (she finds bald and balding men quite unattractive).

 

While she dumped the last one because despite his claims of sexual prowess, he couldn't get her to have an orgasm (my wife orgasms quite easily through oral , penile and digital stimulation), at one point he even told her she was having them because she got very wet. So she asked me out because despite my height she thought I was very handsome and she felt lust for me, so she asked me out thinking I might be fun to try out in bed.

 

So when my wife and I started sharing sex together, both of us were intending to dump the other after a few weeks or a couple of months at the latest. As it turned out though, the sex was great for both of us and we enjoyed being together. So we have just kept doing what we were doing through the past 21+ years.

 

Us getting married (my wife's first marriage) was for the most part so she could stop lying to her very religious Catholic (my wife and I are both atheists), Sicilian mother (her Sicilian father was already dead) and family, most of whom live in Italy (we live in Australia), by hiding the fact we were living together.

 

What's funny is that after all that, my mother-in-law thinks we're living in sin and are not married because we didn't get married in a Catholic Church.

Oh, dear. I didn't think anyone would take my comment regarding the tall guys being jerks as a blanket statement (literally) referring to ALL tall guys. Of course not all tall guys are jerks.

 

I should have been clearer perhaps. I meant that after dating only the tall guys, and those they dated proved to be jerks, then they became aware that a relationship was more than about someone's height.

[preraph]

I don't see why you should have any problem with a guy your own height. I've dated a couple and it is just a nonissue to me. If they're cool guys, they are popular and sought after and often even date taller women.

[Echo74]

I'm shorter than those men, and don't make millions of dollars yet I've never lacked for attractive female suitors.

 

That's because height preference is an individual thing. I have a friend who is taller than her husband. Obviously she didn't have a height preference, but she did have an ethnicity preference and I'm sure there were many other things that she found attractive in him.

 

Really good point. And it could be why I don't understand the whole thing about women's height preferences. I'm not the kind of woman who wants a protector - I've never needed protecting in my life. I want a companion.

 

Of course companionship would be the main objective. But upon picking that companion we ALL have personal preferences which attract us to another person. I don't "need" a protector as I box as a hobby, but I like the feeling of a man who seems like one. And to some, that's part of the attraction. Just like some men actually like petite women.

 

She comes on here to get justification and hear it's ok to dump a man for being 'not tall enough to her liking'.

 

Or perhaps she wants to open her eyes to the positives of dating him even though he's out of the norm of her personal preference.

 

Seriously.

In all honesty, why would he date her?

 

She's admitted he's handsome, fit, successful, and has a six-inch wide dick (or was that another thread:confused:), and she still can't make up her mind to date him. Not marry, mind you. Date.

 

When I did OLD, my height was out there for the world to see on my profile, and some women gave me a chance and met me for when for all they knew, I was some damn doofus... a short doofus.

 

So, if there's women out there for whom height is a non/minor-issue, why would you deal with one who makes such a big deal out of it?

[thefooloftheyear]

The reason why tall women aren't picky is because most look like Big Bird and not like Heidi Klum...

 

Big feet on a woman(which most tall women have) is about as bad as a 4'11" guy that's hung like a doorbell...

 

Not looking to offend anyone, your mileage may vary of course...:laugh:

 

TFY
