Dating A Shorter Man
Why is it that guys can date shorter girls all the time and no one even raises an eyebrow, but when a tall chick dates a short dude, people notice? We’re not exactly sure. If you like someone, than their height, just like anything physical about their appearance, shouldn’t really matter.
This topic came up in the message boards, and it made us curious to see what more of you think about it. Would you ever date a guy who is shorter than you? Is that kind of height difference a big deal to you? Read what these girls had to say, and then fill us in on your thoughts.

I’m 6′, he’s 5′ 8″. I have never been uncomfortable with my height but I’ve also never liked someone shorter than me like I do him, he’s perfect and doesn’t pressure me into anything. He doesn’t mind the height difference, but I get really uncomfortable with it. I stand up next to him and then sit back down, it’s really embarrassing for me. One of his friends recently said, “So I have to ask, does she pick you up to kiss you?” It just really hurts. I’ve never been afraid of my height, and I love him to death and I can’t let just height get between us. What do you think?
Daniel Radcliffe is short. Would we date him? Absolutely.

I would honestly have trouble dating a guy who was shorter than me – but that’s mostly just because I’m severely insecure and being larger than my boyfriend in any way would make me feel gross. BUT if you really like the guy, just ignore what other people are saying. mockery isn’t nice, people who are really your friends will be happy for you, not make fun of you.

I know what your going through because I’m 5’7 and my boyfriend is 5’5, but I’m self-conscious about my height, so it took a bit for me to get used to it. So just try to not let it bother you, if you really like him, you guys get along perfectly, and he doesn’t care, then there’s no reason to mess up a good thing. I’m definitely glad I got over it because he’s one of the best things to ever happen to me.
Here’s what we have to say: you should never stress over a height difference in your relationship. Who really cares if you’re a few inches taller than him?! Like these girls said, if he makes you happy, then you shouldn’t give his height a second thought.
It’s understandable to feel self-conscious about your height, but it is definitely something you need to learn to embrace and love about yourself. Maybe some people will have a rude comment or a ‘joke’ they think is funny, but just ignore those people. You should never let what others say affect your relationship.
What do you think? Would you date a guy who’s shorter than you? Do you ever make fun of girls who do? Tell us in the comments.
Is it ever okay to ask your boyfriend how many people he’s slept with?

I don’t think I would date a shortEr guy, I have had sex with more than one guy that was shorter than me but I would never date them. I am really tall, I’m 5’8 and I really liked a guy that was shorter than me but I would not date him because he was shorter than me, its too different for me. But my roomie (roommate) has a significantly shorter boyfriend and they been together for 2 years and she doesn’t find it uncomfortable at all.
My boyfriend is 5″4 and I’m 5″6 all of the other guys get jealous because I picked my boy and not them. I love him; he is sooo fine and has the abs and chest of a god lol. We are perfect for each other, we both play soccer and rock climb. He’s my best friend. Height difference doesn’t make a difference when you are laying down. I was worried at first because I thought he may be short in the pants also but that is definitely not the case. So girls if you think a short guy is attractive by all means go for it because I LOVE IT!!!!
Yes, My boyfriend is shorter than my by an inch (I’m 5’7″ and he’s 5’6″). I don’t mind it at all.
My BFFS boyf is shorter than her and i make jokes about it. Is that rude of me
My boyfriend and I are both super tiny (like 4′ 8″ tiny) and I’m a smudge taller than him. It doesn’t bother me most of the time, but I’ll never be able to do that classic fairy tale kiss where I go up on my toes or where he picks me up.
I totaly would becuase guess what im short im 13 in the 7th grade and im only 4’8 and sometimes i take it really offensive noone likes me because im too short well oh well deal wit it but im pretty always will be and dont care if none wants to date me but i really would love that just for that reason
