Would you consider dating a man this height?

[Amazona24]

A man who is 5,5". I'm quite small myself in 5,2". I mean I'm not shallow and it depends ultimately if they are a nice person but I just feel I had a niggle above someone being that short. I'm OLD and most of the decent men I've come across as shorter than the average height.
I'm preparing to be flamed but that's how I feel.

I am 5'8" and have sworn off shorter men- simply because all the ones I have dated have gone on and on and on about it and seem to find it a real issue.

Don't think its discrimination but I do think you might be missing out on the one if you're being picky over physical appearance. Partner is 5'6 and I'm 5'5 - gives me perfect excuse to never wear heels (hate the things). Also neither of us have to bend down to fit in a selfie. Everything is adjusted to our level in our house and we share many of the same clothes - talking comfy joggers and jumpers for lying around house in not dresses or anything. Although one week he ripped his good pair of jeans through the crotch and because it's so difficult to find him jeans that fit because of his build (short legs but stocky thighs) he wore my boyfriend jeans for a week - and looked better than I did in them!

@halfwitpicker, it really doesn't but kissing while your both standing is a bit of gymnastic act

I think @TheGoddessFrigg those guys just have a short man complex.

If I were your height, for sure.

Being nearly 6 ft myself, probably not.

I knew DP as a friend when we first got together and when he asked me out, I'll be honest, I wasn't sure I could be with someone as short as me. Thank goodness I got over that otherwise I would have missed out on the most kind, handsome, romantic and thoughtful person I have ever met. He has zero hang ups including about his height and just laughs off any jokes. Cuddling is great when you are similar heights and the added bonus is that I can borrow his jeans !

TheDogsMother And that’s a sweet tale - mines the opposite - opened the door to ex shocked at how short he was, never really fancied him and ultimately split up over it because no matter how nice, kind etc somebody might be ultimately they want to shag their wife and if it’s not there it’s not there.

"Kick this short little man to the curb and have confidence that you deserve better, it seems clear you have an issue with his little stature"

How would people react if someone advised a dater (male or female) to "kick this big fat woman to the kerb and have confidence that you deserve better?" Sorry if the poster above was being sarcastic though - my impression was not, but sometimes it can be missed!

Or

Kick this woman with the small tits to the curb and have confidence that you deserve better, it seems clear you have an issue with her little tits"

Ime being a similar height to a man makes the physical side of things even better, You just fit together in an instinctive way. There's no need to work out how to manouevre the man being a foot taller than you.

Is his name spencer?

A lot of taller men prefer not to date short women.

This really. Height isn't an absolutely necessity, but I find women around 5ft 7 more attractive. Everything is a valid criterion, assuming you can still find people interested in you; weight (if you're into healthy eating and quite sporty, you probably are looking for someone similar), wealth, education level ...

So do whatever you want.

I confess I've always been attracted to tall men, and I'm married to a man who is 6'5. (I'm 5'7.). I've never been able to have any interest in any man shorter than me.

It's all about preference at the end of the day.
