5"9? I can understand if you're 5"2 yourself, you won't think it's short, but what does the MNers over 5"7 think? I'm 5"7 myself.

I'm just shy of 5ft ex (was going to say was ....... but that sounds he is either dead or has lost some height somewhere!) is 6 ft 6 Grin

Tom Hardy is 5’9”. 5’9” is the perfect height for a man Wink

I don't think it is small, especially with a confident guy. Most of my ex partners were around 5.9 but I am only 5.3.
DP is 6.2 i go on my tippy toes If shoeless and he is to close.

It all fits lying down !

Gotta love the views of the previous generation... Men must earn more than their wives, men must be taller than their wives ... gotta keep the 'little' women in their place ....

I'm 5ft 6". Dp is 5ft 8". Perfect!

I agree JustHere - which is why I laugh when people say things like that. I've never had any problem with men finding my height attractive - I think it's something to do with the very very long legs I have Grin . Some insecure men have been abusive tho shouting things like i'm a man in drag or that I should be a Russian shot putter. It's never put me off wearing heels and I've dated men shorter than me and men taller than me. I think I like people about the same height best.

Once a man is confident his height is not an issue. There are a group of men YouTubers Dude perfect I think the smallest guy is very hot, he is confident and sexy.

I’m 5’5 and my DH is 5’7 and it’s never been an issue. I wouldn’t want to be way taller than my partner but just that little difference works did us...even if I did squat for certain wedding photos! 😂

I think it's hilarious all these women who are freakishly tall well above average height think a man of average height is short. And do you only mix with Anglo Saxons? Because on a world scale the English are pretty tall. My kids are short at their English school but when we go to my or DHs home they are average.

And shagging a man much taller and heavier than you is a (literal) pain because they are so bloody heavy it restricts the number of positions you can get into.

Personal preference. I think it's short. Everyone has a type and mine is a tall one!
