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'm 5'8" and I am married to a man who is 5'5".

I still wear heels. It isn't a problem. Neither he nor I are deeply insecure about our appearance.

I agree with posters comparing this to men who have a preference to slimmer women.

I have sat with men who have asked each other whether they would ever date a fat woman and they all said no. I was horrified and had a go at them for being so shallow and vacuous.

Not sure this thread is any different and most women would be disgusted by the attitude of men saying "No I could never date a fat woman....they just aren't attractive to me"

How is this any different?

Judge the man, not his height.

Sorry to sound sanctimonious.

I’m 5’10” so no I wouldn’t. If I was your height I would. My current boyfriend is 6’2”, my exH 6’4”.

I find certain features in a man attractive- tall is one of those, as is dark hair and broad shoulders. It’s strange to say it’s shallow to have preferences, surely everyone has them? I can’t pretend to fancy someone that I don’t

I would have no problem if a man didn’t want to date me because of my height, weight, hair colour etc

I’m 5,4 my partner is 5,5 and he is without a doubt the most amazing guy I’ve ever met and the love of my life. 2 ex husbands both over 6ft and not a patch on my little man 😌

I know where you're coming from. We all have preferences and an idea of our 'ideal'. Sometimes though, someone who doesn't fit your 'ideal' comes along and can blow you away.

Years ago I had a (very) brief fling with a man who appeared really keen on me but then suddenly backed off. I wasn't particularly bothered at the time but a few weeks later one of his friends told me that he really liked me but because I'm ginger, he couldn't take the ribbing he'd get off his mates and decided he couldn't go for it. I was fucking livid. I suppose it was the fact that he had decided that because I didn't fit the idea of an 'ideal' woman, he couldn't do it. We had really clicked and there was definitely potential but it didn't get far enough for any emotions to be involved.

I think if you like someone and you click, things like 'ideals shouldn't matter. It's daft to have rules. If you like someone, go for it.

I'm 5ft 2 and hubby is 6ft 5 :) under 6ft and I'd struggle I think!

I've dated anywhere between 5'6" and 6'8".

I'm 5'10. Height doesn't bother me.

@fivestar yes! Also tall, it limits choices significantly!

I'm 5ft and Dh is 6ft 1. No mechanical issues and he is very handy to have around when things need reaching from high shelves or big things need carrying. I have never dated anyone shorter than 6ft. I'm already short, I need someone who can reach stuff!

Not a chance

@Theyprobablywill 😂👍

Yes I would and I have and I'm 5'8".

I'm 5'5 and my DP is 6'6. I can confirm that there are no mechanical issues and I can kiss him on the mouth during sex 😁

Yeah i would height doesnt matter its the person that does x

Well I had a dream about Dec last night that was interesting, so I'm going to say, yes I would.

I'm 5'11" so nearly all men are shorter than me in heels. Who cares. If you like him you like him, give it a go

No I wouldn’t. I don’t find small size men attractive. I don’t care if that sounds shallow, it’s no different to the fact I don’t find blonde men attractive. I also don’t think it’s shallow for men to say similar

Your attractions are what they are.

I’m 5’7 and my partner is 5’5
He is the most wonderful man and if I was narrow minded and ruled him out because of a height difference then I would have missed out on a lot of happiness

I’m only 5ft so yes, I would. I don’t even tend to notice other people’s heights - everyone looks tall to me
For the record, my DH is 6’3” and we’ve never had any “mechanical issues”, so far managing to produce one (large) DS!

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

I'm even shorter at 5ft nothing. I'm grateful for what I've got - no partner,it's fantastic!

I would date him. But I'm only 5' and short men don't like me!! I have a long term partner, but prior to that never dated anyone under 5' 10", not through deliberate policy

Weight is changeable, height is not - cannot compare.

I would date a short or shorter man, sure. Despite myself I quite like Tom Cruise and he’s 5’7 or so isn’t he? Tom Hardy is short too and everyone seems to like him

It doesn't bother me at all. 1st DH 5 5 and 2nd DH 6 3
Other things are much more important for LTR success

I'm 5'4 and my partner is 5'3 don't think it really played a factor at the start of our relationship.

Ultimately, it's all personal preference, I don't think anyone can control who they are attracted to.

Yup, I agree. I've always liked taller, bulkier types (think rugby player physiques ) an.d I've ended up with a 5' 11" bulky DH.

My SIL, OTH, has a 5' 5" super-fit DH who reminds me of an Action Man as his body is so taut!

I can see that many people might prefer the Action Man look, but I like my more squishy DH. . He'd kill me if he read this.

5’7. I had a really short boyfriend once. Didn’t bother me too much but I did feel gargantuan! All others have always been just a little bit taller than me. But DP is about 6’3 and I do love it He picks me up sometimes, and I love the feeling of being small. I have no idea why really?! And being spooned is so lovely. Although he’s not very good at sneaking
