Shorter Man

[Dontknow12]

Can it ever work if the man is shorter? It feels wrong....

Jesus. How shallow. Let him go and find someone who is going to be nice to him.

It works for Sophie Dahl and her singer husband. His name escapes me, Jamie something?

Jamie McCullen. She's 5ft 10 he's 5ft 3.

OP how much shorter is he than you?

Of course it can. If you like him why should it matter?

I've had this. It didn't bother me, but people do make comments/jokes, which hoy just have to laugh off/ignore.

I know a few women who have turned down a man for being shorter than them.
The men are now happily married or in a LTR. The women are still single. Just saying

Or course it can work. It's not what people are used to seeing, but sod them.

I had a boyf once much shorter than me. He was brilliant. We had so much fun together.

It would feel wrong to me too.

Maybe I'm just shallow.

Or maybe not...we're not talking about a friendship her are we...we're talking about a partner with whom you'd be having a sexual relationship with, long term. Such a person needs to be pretty spot on.

I'm sure it can work though...,mov treason why it shouldn't if you're not me.

Why wouldn't it?
I'm taller than my DH, especially with my heels on.
He loves it and I love being tall, what's not to love!

never bothered me, 5'9". I like really tall men but, when I've been attracted to a shorter chap, haven't let it put me off.

Why is somebody's height so important. Id date them for their personality, sense of humour and character. On the other hand maybe he'll dump U first as you are too tall!

I'm a tall woman, but all of my short friends (think 5ft 1") have all said they wouldn't touch a guy under 6 feet Beats me! Shouldn't they leave the tall ones alone for the likes of me? Not that I have a "he must be taller than me" thing going on myself.

Shorter than whom?

Everyone's the same height in bed. Doesn't bother me as long as there's an attraction

It's worked for me and DH for the last 21 years.

DH is three inches shorter than me.

I could have held out for someone taller but I doubt they'd have been as lovely as he is

My partner is five feet seven. I'm six feet.
We both love it.

As the wife of a short man and the mother of 3 short men, it's great to see some positive responses to this question for a change. I genuinely didn't consider DH's height until years after we were married and someone mentioned he was short.

I do have major spatial awareness issues though

It's a huge turn off for me. I know it's shallow but can't help who I am.attracted to. I am short so maybe that's why. Dh is 6'3. I also never dated a hairy man and i am hairy! Maybe something psychological.about being attracted to opposites lol x

I don't mind as long as there nice and kind , although I do sometimes find tall men intimidating even if their not!

Everyone's the same height lying down.

For some reason before I met DDDH I was attracted to short men -probably because my father is above average height. I'm about 5'9", and used to have a fondness for 5" heels. I remember, years ago, out with a boyfriend, and some kids shouting, "Haha, he's short and she's tall!" We just laffed.

When I met (tall-ish) DDDH the attraction was immense, and I loved tiptoe-ing to kiss the back of his neck, bare-foot.

Attraction is attraction. Throw away the "tick box list".

• I didn't kiss DH's neck with my actual bare feet. That would have been something entirely different, most likely involving hand-stands and the Kama Sutra.

Doesn't bother dh and I he is 3" shorter, I think he is very proud of his tall children as well. What attracts you to someone is complex if you reject someone you find attractive due to embarrassment over a height difference that is shallow, if you don't find them attractive then its a preference so you don't want to be with them anyway...
