Having said that, I've been out with girls who were under 5ft without issue.

Really? I'm 6'3 and I don't like dating girls any shorter than 5'6. It feels awkward and clumsy to hug or kiss shorter people!

6ft here and tbh I feel like a midget sometimes!

Yea me too, really area specific too!. Seems around Edmonton is where the short people went back in the day and i look down on people often. I'm probably going to shrivel to 5 10ish in my old age so it'll be even more funny

I'm 5ft 7 and have never had any issues getting women. I tend to laugh them into bed. I also tend to laugh them out, but that's a different story.

I'm about 6 and wife is 5ft 2, never have problems. She oddly looks taller because shes skinny, was really surprised she was only 5 2.

what you really mean is you laugh them into bed then they laugh you out?

Do not know to what extent this is still the case,

But I do recall a study some years ago that demonstrated a significant correlation between height and earnings.

I've never been out with a girl taller than me but then she would be a pretty tall woman! My wife is 5ft1 and I'm 6ft3 and its never been a problem. Both the same height on your back :cool:

5' 7" here, the missus is 5' 11" without shoes.

My ex-wife was 5' 2".

Show the bints a seven figure bank account and see if they are as worried about height, weight or looks....

6ft6 and gf is 5ft4 She makes a big deal out of going on escalators and stairs to go first, its an ongoing joke... never gets old... nope.. Just kidding

its cute.

Just a product of this weird culture we live in. What's she really saying is, 'damn I'm so short and ugly that I'd better pretend I really love tall guys as all my friends(or imaginary friends) will look at me as a strong, outgoing and maybe even taller person than I really am. When people see us together it will deflect the fact that I'm so short, lacking power, presence and authority in this world of giants I live in'.

Maybe it's because of how short men stereotypically act

I’m 5’10 myself and missus is around 5’4 and usually a couple of inches more when wearing her heels.
Personally I couldn’t date or be with someone taller than me. Luckily for me I don’t know many talk women and neither have I found the ones I’ve seen attractive.

Yeah, 6'2" and I dated a 5'0" girl for a short while back when I was about 18. It was a bit awkward. Wife is 5'9", which is much better.

I'd happily date a woman taller than me, though they're rare. I'm tall enough that there aren't any insecurities there that being shorter than a girlfriend would hit.

It's quite crazy the amount of hate short guys get. Just look at this:

What's funny is that they'll demand to know your height (which can't be changed), but as soon as you ask for their weight (which can) you've crossed the line.

"Short man syndrome" is definitely a thing.

Most of the blokes I know who get unreasonably angry at stuff, are quite a bit shorter than average.

I'm only 5' 10" by the way, so hardly a towering beast. I've never gone out with a girl taller than me though, that would be weird.

5'9" and my wife is a couple of inches taller. I was actually offered a box to stand on for my wedding photos.

It feels weird when I'm stood on a step and looking down to her, height has never been and will never be an issue for either of us. I'd rather be with someone I love rather than someone who's shorter.

My ex wife is 4'10, I'm 6'. I like short women though.
