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.

No but I'm 5ft 10 so big difference,Dh is 5ft 9

I'm tall, and my DH is a few inches taller, and the same height as me when I'm wearing heels. I have dated guys shorter than me in the past, personality is way more important than height. Look at Jamie Cullum and Sophie Dahl. They always appear to be blissfully happy together, the height difference isn't an issue at all.

But you are also really short?

You short girls should leave the tall men for us tall girls and only date short men! Otherwise it reduces the choice for us even more. If we are shallow enough to only fancy men taller than us, which I’m afraid I am!

I like men to be taller than me( works best for sex and kissing I find!)
But he is taller than you so no problem.

I don't understand why tall men want to date short women. I sometimes wonder how they even notice them. At 5'2 you are very short. I think you might have to be grateful for what you might get.

Of course I would because I’m not shallow! I’d date Peter Dinklage and I’m pretty sure he’s shorter than that!

I'm just under 5' 5 and DH is 6'3. I've only dated one guy under 6' and it was too weird for me, I'm afraid. He was 5' 4 on his very best day, plus REALLY slim so he was kind of dainty and childlike. He had to wear ladies skinny jeans

Personally I just find tall men more attractive. That's not to say that I could never be attracted to a short guy - I just haven't yet.

Well, aren't you a treat

I'm quite short myself so I like shorter men. My husband isn't tall and I prefer to be able to speak to someone without looking upwards all the time.

I'm 5'9, current bf is an inch taller than me; exh was 5 inches taller. I normally go for tall men but actually having someone the same height is nice, I'd definitely do it again. You can just kiss without having to wait for him to bend down, much more equal :)

I'm old now, but I remember turning down a date with a friend purely because he was very short. It wasn't so much that I thought he looked bad, but that beside him I felt really enormous huge, -a bit like Shrek.

I wasn't overweight, just taller.

OP, you DO sound shallow though. I am 5'9 and dated a shorter man for many years. No wonder some women are single.

Meant to mention that I was 17 at the time. ^^

Why all the threads about short men? This is the second one this week

Yes, I'd consider dating a man that height. I'm short myself, but I would if I were taller too.

My Dad is around 5’4” (three inches shorter than my Mum). They’ve been happily married for 50 years and he’s the best Dad and husband I know.

At 5'11, no. I wouldn't.

Its a primal (or at least very deeply socially conditioned) thing, I think. But its highly unlikely I could be attracted to a man so much smaller than me.

At your height, though? Yes, why not. You're tiny .

Do you fancy him?

I married a man 4" shorter than me with a very slim petite mother.
I had tiny babies who grew to be petite adults.

A couple of points:
A small person can still be a massive twat (Reader, I divorced him).
A small baby does not mean an easy labour: 4 days of unproductive labour anyone? The pushing was short but the 'prelabour' was agony and endless.
Clothes shopping for a 14 year old girl who wears a slim age 9-10 is hellish difficult.
My exH was little because his Mum was little. His Dad was over 6'. Don't judge by height because it really is meaningless.

I had a male friend who wanted more IFYSWIM and he was around the same height as me, BUT he had tiny hands, smaller than mine! Not appealing.

At 5'2 you are very short. I think you might have to be grateful for what you might get.

Did you mean to be so rude? 😂 Jeezo, here, have my first

Every one is the same height sitting down.

How shallow. Meet him and see if there is any chemistry.

The real question is whether decent men, regardless of height, would want to date women that shallow? What’s next? Don’t date someone with freckles, or who has a weird ear lobes? Men, like women, are all different sizes and shapes and none of it has anything to do with their personality, or kindness, or sense of humour, or how they love you.

I'm 5'3" and have had several boyfriends over 6'. In fact, DP is just over 6' and we don't have any "mechanical issues" - what a weird thing to say!

I wouldn't rule someone out because of their height, provided we got on well and fancied each other, but I do prefer a tall man.
