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?

Why not? I mean I wouldn’t care if a guy was shorter me if I loved him. Besides, short guys have good leverage…
No,no,no…I think it’s hot when a guy is taller than me..it even turns me on…but only because I’m short…and basically everyone else is taller than me… If a guy is shorter than me than I just find it not attractive.at all…
i am pretty much the exact same way… alot of the time (for me) the taller the guy… the hotter he is
im 5’5 and my boyfriend is 5’3, and its totally fine
hes cute and amazing and everything – it doesnt matter thats hes short 
Sometimes it doesn’t matter the height. Only, that you really like hm. But in my own opinion i kind of like a guy who is my same height or taller. I would take a chance a date a shorter guy.
I’m 6′ almost 6 ’1″ my boyfriend if 5′ 8″. It’s really awkward for me and I’m scared to meet his friends cause of it. I said I’d never date anyone shorter but I try not to remind myself about it.
My boyfriend’s shorter than I am – I’m 5’11″ and he’s 5’7″ (But slouches like crazy! He slouches to the point where he looks 5’5″. It doesn’t help that he stand with his feet SOOO far apart.) He loves how tall I am, and as long as we’re sitting down kissing, or he’ s stair step or a curb above me, I’m fine! (We’re all the same height while laying down
) He absolutely loves how tall I am. He says it’s one of the sexiest things about me. And he loves me in heels. too bad they make me 9 inches taller than him. Haha.
I wouldn’t let get height get in the way. I’m 5’7″ and have only dated one guy, we were the same height though. I have however really liked a guy who was significantly shorter than myself. It’s the personality that should count. My brother is rather short for his age but he’s the coolest, sweetest, guy I know. His girlfriend is lucky!
Well, i’m 5’3” and my boyfriend’s 5’1”. personally i don’t think there’s anything wrong with dating a guy who’s shorter than you! it’s about how you two feel about each other. not how you look standing next to each other.
I never wanted to date a guy shorter than me. Though I’ve learned height has nothing to do with an overall person. My ex was 6’3″ and I’m 5’4″, he was the first guy I had ever gone out with. I was really attracted to him but apparently he wasn’t that attached to me. Broke my heart. Then a year later I met this guy through a friend. He was a few inches shorter than me but we became best friends…and eventually more than that. It bothered me at first but he treats me right and cares about me so much more than any other person has. We’ve been together so long that I don’t even notice it anymore. I love him and I’ve never been happier. Don’t let a height difference stand in your way. It’s not worth losing an amazing man over.
No… I’m REALLY short (4’11″) so dating a shorter guy would just be really awkward….
Im 5″9 and the guy I want to date is like…. um… probably about 5″3?

I dated a guy right about my height, and height realty didn’t effect us at all. We found little tricks to make it less ackward, we would stood nxt to each other i would always lean in and wen we kissed i would always lean against him and arch my back a little so that he seemed thike he was kissing me from above. I get how that might not work with ppl with a dramatic difference in height, and even though he isn’t much taller then me hes still the one that picks me up for a kiss;)
I couldnt date anyone shorter only bc im 5’1. But there is nothing wrong with a taller girl with a shorter guy as long as Yall equally love each other, than all is well!!

Absolutely. The only guy I’ve ever loved is a little bit shorter than me. I know we all dream of having a guy taller than us, but really? You’d risk missing out on the love of your life by not giving him a chance just because you’re taller? Get real.
I will and am. Currently my boyfriend of a year is 5’6 and I’m 6’1. The size is different and yes I no longer really get to wear heels, but he’s my best friend and my boyfriend and I don’t think that size should interfere. I think if someone treats you right and loves you and you love them back, then height is really just a number.
I really hate to say this, because I know that it isn’t just, but I couldn’t date someone shorter than me. Whenever I see a guy that’s shorter than me, even if we’re the same age or he’s even older, my mind goes straight away to a kid brother. Although, I’m barely 5 feet, and so I really can’t be talking.
I wouldn’t. Simply because I’ve never in any way been attracted to someone who was shorter then me. The shortest guy I’ve ever liked was probably just at my height or a little tiny bit taller. And I only liked him for a little bit. It may be because all of the guys that I’m around are normally in between 5’9″ and 6’2″ however.
