How do things "work" if you date a much shorter man?

[Flowertie]

Forgive my ridiculous question, but I've been having some flirty banter with a very short man. I didn't mean for it to happen, but we seem to be on the verge of becoming "something". I didn't think I found him attractive at all, but as I've got to know him better, I do.

He really is very short though and I'm quite tall, there's about 4/5 inches between us!

So to the ridiculous question. How does that work physically? Things from a head on a chest, an arm round a shoulder, to sex, everything's in the wrong place 🤣 Or does it all work out naturally if things are right between you? .

Jamie Callum and Sophie Dahl seem to manage just fine. In photos he often has his arm around her waist.

Could you gift him these?

What a shame of our society that you have to ask this question and that you’ve gotten some of these bizarre responses.

Tit high, as my auntie Pat would say. Hope your boobs can hold a good conversation. Seriously , if he's a decent bloke then hang onto him (or he can hang on you).

My SILand my DB see to manage fine. He’s 4-5 in shorter than her.

Which position are you all using where you don't bend your legs ?

An ex of mine was a fair bit shorter than me, and also much slimmer. I wouldn’t class myself as big or overweight, but I felt it next to him!

I’ll be honest, his height never seemed an issue during sex, it just…worked. But cuddling on the sofa and things never felt that comfortable because I just couldn’t nestle into him quite in the same way… I don’t know, I didn’t rate the cuddles from him that much, but sex was fine!

This thread and a previous highly popular one on shorter men has made me think of a man I knew quite a long time ago. In many ways he was, 'The one who got away.'

He was great. Just absolutely the best and he loved me. I could have loved him as well and he would have brought me the moon on a stick.

But he was 5'4" and I'm 6'1" so I didn't take him seriously. The sex was good as well. Don't be an idiot like I was OP.

Queen of the afterthought here. He was really good looking as well and physically gorgeous. Not dumpy at all. Just small. If I could just have put him on a human spirograph or something...

Why is there? Can you not be same height lesbians?

I wouldn't date a shorter man , it would just be odd .

I wouldn’t date someone shorter than me but I’m 5ft 3in, and I need someone who can reach the decent Easter eggs in the supermarket.

Sorry about the responses OP. Very few have actually answered your actual question.

Good guys are hard to find, don't worry about the height difference and just see if you click.

Standing sex is defo easier! Apart from that it's not so different.

Bet you'll still read all the answers though.

I've read all the responses and tbh i'm surprised how many woman are really shallow.

But at the same time we're allowed to not fancy someone for any reason whatsoever. And if there's something about someone that turns us off physically, it's never going to work.

I met someone 20 years ago who was barely taller than me and with a slim build. I have to say I felt huge and awkward at times next to him. I'm barely 5'5 and I was probably about 9 and a half stone at the time, not big, so that was my own insecurity. He was lovely and married a taller woman a couple of years later so obviously wasn't bothered. We got on extremely well. I remember saying to a friend he would have been perfect if he wasn't short! I don't think he was as into me as I was to him anyway and I had other difficulties in my life at the time dealing with anxiety and depression and the death of a long term relationship, and basically cut contact. He didn't pursue so I suppose that was that. I think his wife to be might have been on the scene anyway, to be honest. If I could live my life all over again I would love to see if it went anywhere and my 47 year old self is much more confident about my size and body even though it's nowhere near as good as it was then!
