Are there are any very short women in happy relationships with short men?

[Whitsta90]

A very popular topic posted many times on this site, but I was wondering if there are any below average height women who are in happy relationships with men who are also below average, or maybe just about average height. I [M, single-approaching mid 30s, single and at the point where I'd like to settle down with someone],I have noticed quite a strong point made in these kind of threads both here and elsewhere, that aside from the obvious general consensus that women are more attracted to taller men, that usually the women who are most biased where this is concerned are much smaller height women.

My main reason for asking is that I am a slighter build and shorter height man-just 5'7'', so I guess I can be classed as quite short, not super short but well outside the famous 6'' height range preference-Who does have quite a thing for very height small women, however quick disclaimer, I am perfectly open to dating women of all height ranges and build and have been attracted to a very wide variety of women[tall/short/curvy/chubby/skinny]. I tend to be most attracted to faces more than body where the physical side of things is concerned, and then its all about personality which I'm finding makes a huge difference now I've reached the age I have. However I have very often been attracted to smaller than average women, so it would be nice to hear if there are any women of this description that are married/in relationships with guys of my stature, mainly because I so often typically see it written how women like this are more often than not, less attracted to guys of my physical description -[Not sure if I mentioned it but I'm slim build as well unfortunately, so another disadvantage😂]-Would be nice to hear if a few real life instances exist, just to give a little ray of hope that regardless of who I do manage to hopefully attract, I might have a least a bit of a chance with smaller women as well😂

I'm 5 foot 2 (and three quarters) and my husband is 5 foot seven. I literally never thought about height as an issue. I think my husband likes that I make him feel and look tall, though!

Two words, Cillian Murphy. Most women would be all over him in a shot. He’s your height, hasn’t stopped his appeal!

This again. I have to say, I think this is one of those things you notice more when you look for it… and as has been already mentioned upthread, it’s because online dating/apps etc specifically ask for a height range. If everyone was to meet organically, there wouldn’t be the same ‘issues’, as chemistry and other attributes would override the difference of an inch or two. IMO anyway!
As it is, my darling FIL and MIL are the first example that pops into my head, incredibly happy and have been married 35+ years. He’s small, maybe 5’6 and slim as can be, MIL is about 5’2.
I’m 5’8, and haven’t been with anyone you could really call short. 5’11-6’6. Funnily enough the tallest was my first proper boyfriend, and I’m the first to admit it was, in part, due to the fact he was incredibly tall and absolutely gorgeous. The shallowness of youth! That being said, he was also a good guy and we were mostly quite happy for a few years. It’s just personal preference really, men being on the shorter side and/or skinny has never been my thing, but for my mum (5’6 ish) and one of my sisters (5’1) it’s exactly what they chose to go for. If you were to put my ‘type’ (tall, broad, rugby player build) and my sisters type (generally under 5’9, slim to skinny) next to one another, you’d find absolutely no similarities.

Aaah they’re all the same lying down 😜

You're right to a degree but I'm not talking about overweight women. I've had men criticise me for being too big when I was a 10/12.

I'm under 5 foot, my husband over 6 foot. Not by design. I'm attracted to personality and would date anyone from Tyrion in GoT to Aragorn from LOTR.
I get so fed up of the comments on heights, I wish it were less.

I am 5ft 3, DH is 5ft 6 or 7

married 35 years

Well firstly being slim is attractive. The media like to push the Image that women are happy with fatter or very muscly men but I don’t think that’s true at all. Look back at images from the past and you will see the vast majority of those who make it in the music industry for example have virtually always been thin/slim. Quite often androgynous looking too. David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Michael Hutchence, Simon le Bon, John Taylor, Adam Ant, Robbie Williams, Elvis, David Sylvian, Brett Anderson, Mick Jagger.
As for short couples I’m trying to think. I don’t know that many but can’t think of any reason why it wouldn’t work.
I think the image of a tall man being attractive is a silly one really. It’s just so ingrained isn’t it. Tall, dark and handsome. Hasn’t done Tom Cruise much harm being short.

Just thinking of celeb crushes I've had over the years and so many are 'short'. Toby maguire, Tom Holland, Noel Fisher all 5ft 8. Griffin Gluck is 5ft 7 too (and fairly androgynous). Who else hmm... Jet Lee!

I think James Mcavoy is pretty short too right?

Plenty of shorter men are sex symbols.
Without having to be all bulked up either.

My DH is 5'7", I'm 5ft. I have definitely fancied shorter men too.

I'm 5'2, my DH is 5'6. My sister is 5'3 and BIL is 5'4.

I'm 5'5" and was with my ex for eight years & we had a child. He's roughly the same height as me. I did end the relationship but it was nothing to do with his height.

You really have to avoid those short-man bro threads where the posters gather to gloom and doom about never standing a chance with a girl. DS used to hang out on those and it wrecked his self confidence. Low self-confidence is a way bigger factor in being unable to get a girlfriend than height is. I made a Pinterest board of all the massively successful men - hollywood actors, rock stars, scientists, tech giants, politicians etc who were way under average height, and also showed him online articles by short men who had found love and women who had fallen for short men, to prove to him that the 'never gonna happen' bros were the problem. Once he ditched those forums, he built up his confidence and has every bit as much luck as any other man.

Im just over 5 ft partner is 5.7. I wouldn’t want anyone over 6ft but prefer stocky build not essential though. I found when online dating a lot of men lied about their height I’d rather they were honest!

Yeah there's a huge burst in incel forums atm and men talking about how women only want '6ft 5' men. It's never a woman saying it.

I don't know any of my girl friends who care much about height. To be fair, none of us are tall.

Online dating is awful atm as so many men seem to have '6ft 3' or higher etc written on their profiles. But it rules them out for me as that's just too tall.

Can't help but notice that when I go out in the city these supposedly tall men don't seem to be anywhere haha so I suspect lots of men online lie considerably about height.
