I dated a guy that was about an inch or two shorter than me. It was summer so I just wore flip flops. But, not my wedged ones. When inside I wore no shoes and it was cool, but it was definitely on the brain. I'm 5'7.5" and a big girl so if I date a shorter or same height guy he should be no shorter than 2in and thick to match my weight better.
"why freebird....is it just too arkward to deal with?"
I really have no clue if it is too awkward to deal with because I have not delt with it. I prefer men who are just a bit taller than me....I am not into really tall men - hurts my neck when kissing 😉
Ya know...it's like this - I'm hungry for a scone, in front of me are three types - cinnamon, cranberry and blueberry. I know what I want - my inner knowing....I want that cinnamon one!
::skips off with scone in hand happy as a clam:: 🙂
LOL this question hits me. I gotta answer as im dating a guy who is about an inch taller (5'6) and i just cant wear my heels anymore around him... 😢 But i like him although i feel less protected at times around him as im so used to having a bigger bf (all my ex bf's are 6' at least)
I can't imagine taking him home one day as i used to make joke about short men!!!! I actually never thought of dating a short guy ever in my entire life and how on earth im ending up with this guy now!
But who cares as long as im happy and he's sexy and sweet 😛
libra, although it sometimes bothers me but he is actually the best boyfriend ive ever had.......i used to absolutely adore tall men but i realize i was looking in all the wrong places for love...my baby may be short but he has a big heart and he adores me and treats me like a queen.....
When I 1st met my B/F I did have reservations about dating him because he's short. I'm 5'2" & have always liked guys who were tall.....like 6'0" 🙂 I met him off of a social networking site & he put that he was 5'6" which is much shorter then I'm accustomed to. When we met I realized he was NOT 5'6".....NO try more like 5'2" Yeah my height! LOL very short for a guy but ya know what, I'm so happy that I overlooked that because he is absolutely the sweetest guy ever! Height does not make the man. As far as feeling protected, my guy has a rock hard buff body so I have no worries there 🙂
Oh & I also miss wearing my heels 😢 I have a couple times with him & he never says anything but it does feel a little uncomfortable on my end so heels are worn on special occassions now. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make 🙂
If I like her, sure. I would feel pretty silly missing out on a cool chick because of something like that. She might look sort of weird if she's 185+ cm, though.
The physical hieght wouldn't bother me, however, the disposition that often stems from this insecurity would definitely be a deal-breaker, if the person allowed their physical attributes to give them a complex.
Short dude syndrome can be very devastating to a guys sense of happiness if he has been emotionally tramatized by it ... for he then is usually violent in nature, as if he has to prove his manliness so he won't feel inferiour.
So long as that ^^^^ isn't present .. then he could be a midget, and it wouldn't effect my relationship with him.
My answer is no. You have to be at least 6'0" to ride this ride. I'm 5'2" and I need to feel like I can fit in the palm of your hand.....or in your pocket.
I'm 5'5, and I like it when the guy is a few inches taller than me. For lots of reasons...My head just nestles perfectly on his chest (right near the shoulder...You know the place!!) and it's a very comforting place to be hehe 🙂...I feel safer around a guy that is of good height (not really a reason behind it, it's just how I feel)...I can always wear heels without any dramas 🙂 which is great, coz I am in heels most of the time... And you know he isn't gonna suffer from short-man syndrome as PA said!!
I've never been with anyone really tall, tallest was probably 5'10 - 5'11.
SS, why did you have to bring tall, dark n handsome into this? *drools* Mmm-mmm...I'll have some of that too, thanks 😉
Lol GB, it's one less point you've got to worry about, coz you fill that criteria already!
Lol Shaka, get over yourself :p If you're the perfect package, how come you don't post pics / myspace links etc huh?? Hahaha
I LOVE tall dark n handsome...It's weird, coz personality is the most important thing to me - but I have noticed that all the guys i've been attracted to have had dark hair, olive skin tone (which is dark compared to me haha) and all been around 5 - 6 inches taller than me. Most of them have had light coloured eyes too 🙂
My exes are 6'3 and 6'4, and my heart is 6'7... I'm 5'7, so I obviously like height. I like when he can walk up behind me and rest his chin on my head lol. Or when he has to lean against something and spread his legs in order to lower himself to my height. It's just something that really attracts me. The kisses are so much more fun to me too. I feel safer with taller dudes, as I am pretty strong and "thick" as dudes call it. I like guys who are toned but not TOO big, so they're usually skinny with basketball bodies. I NEED height. I tried same height before and it was really awkward for me. I couldn't ever rest my head on his shoulder without it hurting my neck lol. So shorter would be a stretch.
to the woman who prefer height...how do these guys treat you? Are they the type that think they are god gift to woman because they are tall dark and handsome?
I do have a thing for tall guys though, probably something about feeling protected I imagine. Not that I can't handle myself, I just like a guy who can also.

I like them tall or short 😄 Really tall me seem to like me for some reason .....
The shortest guy I dated was 5, 5" and I never had a problem with it, I just tend to gravitate more towards tall men.
There's this short guy where I live who keeps making passes at me. He really isn't my type but he won't leave me alone. I try to avoid him like the plague.
Has nothing to do with is height, more with the type of person he is.
Actually, yesterday I felt that something wasn't right. I pressed the button to go upstairs to my apt but the elevator went up to the top floor where he's at. I only know this because he was on the elevator with me last month and he told me he was on the top floor.
I became really paranoid so I took the stairs HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!!!!!!!!!
I think I will lie and say I have a boyfriend. Its funny, I'm like one of the few single girls that live in the apt. They women there either have husband/bf and children or just children ...
It annoys me that guys even do that to be honest, I mean where you live and all. Don't they get that some girls living on their own would feel slightly threatened by that?
