Would you go out with a short man?

[Maverick2022]

Not the most PC question, but....

Would you go out with a relatively short man eg I'm just under 5'6" and he's the same.

I've never gone out with a man the same height as me before, the prospect feels a bit odd. He's also v lightly built, which seems to emphasise it.

I've read that men routi eyes lie anoit height on dating sites etc due to mNy women's feelings about this/preferences etc.

How do you feel about it?

I have a real thing for Stephen Graham who seems quite short. But he's not lightly built. I think it's that combo that makes it harder for me but if a lovely person who I found attractive I could look past most things physical I think.

My DH is only 5'7". I actually find tall men a real turn off.

Yeah I only like shorter men for some reason! I don’t think it’s unusual I remember on shows like love island you often have women saying they’re not into tall guys.

Absolutely I would! We are all the same height lying down! 😎

Short men have confidence and attitude and I love that

I can't recall ever having been attracted to a guy who was shorter than me so I doubt it. Like other posters, I feel enormous next to a short, slight man and that isn't conducive to romantic or sexy feelings!

I'm 5'8, husband is the same height.

I don't understand why it's acceptable for a woman to say she finds short men unattractive but unacceptable for a man to say the same about overweight women.

It's certainly odd when you consider a man can do nothing about his height whereas in most cases an individual can control their weight.

No doubt it had something to do with patriarchy though!

This!

I've never fancied a man taller than me (5 foot 10).

My dh is 5 foot 6 (at a push). He's bloody gorgeous.

Although I've been on a heels ban for the last 22 years that we've been together lol

Since when did it become unacceptable for a man to say he wouldn't be attracted to an overweight woman?
Men say that ÀLL THE TIME!
why is only women who have to equal opportunities daters?

I'm always baffled by these types of posts. I mean, come on OP. It's like me asking 'Do you like pecan pie?' or 'How do you feel about Great Danes??' or 'Could you handle a pink living room?'. I mean, why does it matter???? You're the one who'd have to eat the pie. You're the one who'd have to look after a big dog. You're the one who'd have to sit in that living room (mainly, unless you live with others).

In terms of your partner, you're the one who has to fancy him. Is your sexual attraction affected by feelings of shame or judgment by others OP? You feel it affects your social status somehow?

Exactly! I am LOL that this is about the "poor men". My friends in their 40s are internet/app dating now and constantly complain that men their own age (40s) only wat to date younger women (age is something noone can change either!). Yet we are supposed to feel sorry for short men??? yeah- fck right off with that. Men have no guilt whatsoever when it comes to their dating preferences so it cuts BOTH ways I'm afraid!

I've exclusively dated short guys in the past, and thought nothing of it. Then by chance dated a very tall guy who was also quite hefty.

It was a revelation, I felt very desirable and feminine in the sack. I didn't think that would matter to me as I'm a complete feminist and I work in a male industry and couldn't give 2 shiny shits about feeling feminine outside of wanting to look nice when I dress up for a night out etc.

There was something about his height when we walked down the street together and the height and weight of his body when we were in the sack that just did something to me.

Unfortunately we weren't a fit in other areas, and I'm back to dating again, but I'm afraid now I'll only look at tall guys, he's ruin me!

Married a shorter man. Been together 18 years, very happy and he's everything I wanted in a life partner.

No, I like a big height difference. I’m 5’7”, so 6’2” plus is perfect for me.

I once dated a guy who was 5’8” and had a gorgeous face, but I didn’t feel safe. Safe from what I don’t know, but I like to feel small 😂

I'm single and not looking but when I was doing OLD I thought, hopefully there are loads of decent men who are overlooked only because of their height, but none came up in my searches!!!
Maybe because not even short men will widen their searches to include women their own age.
I dont care if people will date short men or old women. At this point in my life I ignore all of this dating market place value.

Me too. Phoar. Sexy as hell and his sense of humour is not helping my crush go away either. Totally fanny gallops 😍

No. Once dated a Spanish guy who was a nice guy, well educated, great job and prospects. Problem was, he was the same height as me and I’m 5’5”. Didn’t last, I just couldn’t. And he was pretty skinny which was also off putting.

DH is very tall which I love. It just makes you feel extra safe and protected when a guy is tall and/or well built I think.

Each to their own. Tall men gross me out.

Yes I have done, but I’m only 5ft 1. My new date is taller, and I do prefer that.

I wouldn't, as I'm generally more attracted to tall men.
That said, I wouldn't rule it out for a nice bloke! I'm 5'4" and it would be a hard no to anyone shorter than that though. even the loveliest bloke on earth

Dp and I are both 5'8, I've dated much taller men 6'3, etc. Dp is quite solid, a gym goer since he was 16 so he's in great physical condition, he's confident, chatty, and funny. I do tower over him in heels though. But he's not arsed.
He said he's dated women 5'10 no issues.
His height doesn't bother him or me.

My DP is 5'9 to my 5'8 but he's solid with massive arms and unbelievably sexy so not at all bothered about his height

I would. Am 5 foot 4.

I did once and I wasn’t really bothered. I’m 5 ft 7 and he was an inch shorter with feet one size smaller than me. I towered over him in heels obviously but again, this didn’t really fuss me. He worked out so was quite hench and he was very confident.
