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.

they ok if that's what you think 😂

If you're not attracted to him then that's all there is to it. I don't think it's fair to call you shallow as we all have things that would physically put us off a potential partner. I'm really not attracted to rugby player physiques. I don't know why but I'm just not, so forcing myself to go on dates with men of this type in a bid to not be shallow would be a waste of time for everyone.

A lot of taller men prefer not to date short women. Apparently it’s not uncommon for uhem mechanical issues to arise when there is a disparity in height anyway.

I have never come across this, and I am 5' 2". I have never had any "mechanical issues" with any of the men I had fun with and I tried out many heights from 5' 6" ish to over 6'.

The only issue I ever had was that if you are small, men constantly pick you up I'm not a bloody puppy.

At 5' I would love to be able to find a man of less than 6'4 only to save the inevitable (jokey) sniping from taller friends. One of my closest friends is a foot taller than her partner without heels and they get on just fine but if you can't get past his height then you're not obliged to see him.

Can someone elaborate on these mechanical issues? Can't say it's a problem I've ever encountered!

I'm 4ft11 so not a problem for me, even if I was taller it wouldn't be an issue. Ffs height does not make a man how fucking shallow.

Couldn’t care less how tall/short a man is and I’m tall myself. There are so many other qualities that I’d value as more important.

Women who discount men on their height - really? Are you that close to physical perfection yourself?

I’ve been on MN long enough to see lots of threads like these but also lots of OLD threads moaning that most men are only interested in dating 22 year old gym bunnies. You can’t help who you’re attracted to but it’s abit hypocritical.

@racecardriver I can confirm mechanical issues do arise, my husband is 6ft2

I am, and he is, by far, the sexiest man I have ever dated.

I'm 5'3" and didn't think I was attracted to shorter men, but after hanging out with him as friends and going mountain biking and bicycle racing together, I became more and more attracted to him.

Snuggling is the best because we fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Plus, he's confident enough in himself and his height that there is no over compensation for being fun sized.

Absolutely. I'm 5'4" and my DP (soon to be DH) is 5'5". I quite happily wear heels when we go out and my being that bit taller than him when I have them on doesn't bother him at all (in fact he likes me to wear them as it puts his eyes at my chest height and he finds them really sexy).
My best friend is 6'1" and her DP is 5'11", she would've found it really hard to date and find a decent guy if her #1 criteria for meeting men was that they had to be taller than her. Oh and it doesn't stop her wearing heels either.
I do have to have a bit of a laugh, I see threads on here by women who moan about never being able to find a decent man but then they are dismissing men based solely on height which is really quite sad. You could be missing out on the man of your dreams because of this.

Re.mechanical issues - i heard if there's more than a foot in height its impossible to kiss on the mouth during sex?

Being 5ft 8 i've never been able to test this theory. Althoigh an ex of mine had a 5ft 1 mum and a 6 ft 5 dad and I was dying to ask. Never did though

dont

Depends how bendy they are

Not true for us though! We do get some cracking comments though.

Maybe if you are in a full body brace that could be a problem.

@Racecardriver the national average woman's height is 5ft3 and a half, 5ft2 is not extremely short!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_average_human_height_worldwide

I am also 5ft2, if I really liked a guy who was 5ft5 I would probably still date him, but I generally prefer taller men.

I'm 5ft6 my dp of 6 years is only 5ft4/5ish.
Doesn't bother me at all

I am 5'3" and find tall men attractive but it's not the most important thing nor a deal breaker. Shorter men can be equally attractive. Just like i find a nice head of hair attractive but bald men can totally be attractive too. So yes, I'd definitely go out with someone 5'5" and have dated several shorter men - I only found one of them attractive and that didn't work out in the end (none of it was height related!).

No I personally wouldn't. I'm 5'8" and my boyfriend is 5'7" which is probably as short as I'd go!

Doesn't matter what people think, if you don't find short people attractive, you don't. You can't pressure yourself into dating him. Move on and date someone who you find gorgeous.

Even asking this question means that he is not right for you.

I've never understood this. I'm 5'10 and have had two boyfriends around the 5'6 mark - they were great. Don't know why people are so obsessed with it.

Also why some women think it's okay for this to be the first thing they ask men on dating apps. If men opened with "how much do you weigh?" or "how big are your breasts?" they'd be branded a dirt-bag.

Some of the sexist blokes I have ever come across (ahem!) have been really short. I quite like it but then I am a short arse myself.

I'd love to know more about these "mechanical issues". DH is 6'2 and I am 5'3. Haven't had any issues in that department.

I've fancied both taller and shorter men. Ex was about 5'6 but didn't like me wearing heels. Now that is annoying!

Agree with you sentiment about the shallowness @thisnamechanger but I think they're very different questions.

She's not asked how much he weighs or how big his dong is?

Most dating profiles have a section about height. Ive been asked how tall I am from blokes who are a bit shorter and not minded so much.

Yes I wouldn't mind at all. But I'm 5'4 so would only tower over him in heels. I often find short men attractive. They have great posture from trying to look as tall as possible.

@DontCallMeDaisy not if he's hung like a horse
