As a woman, if you must pick one shorter than you or taller but skinny, who would you choose?

Tall and skinny is my first choice but all my LTRs have been with men my height: 5’9”. Works best in bed and life. The 6’4” man was too big and tall for me.

I’m only 5’2” so I’d be hesitant to be with a shorter man, but there aren’t many anyway. My husband is 5’8”.

My fit and financially successful brother is 5’6” and has never had any trouble dating and is in his second marriage. My ex SIL and my SIL are both very pretty.

My exH was 5'9 athletic build, strong, manly man, charismatic and a lying cheating manipulator.

I'm now dating a guy 6ft and (very) skinny, not sure actual measuremenrs but imo it looks like he has a proportionately smaller waist than my size 8. But he is the kindest, smartest, most genuine, honest, and funny man I have ever met. Ww can hang out, talk, and belly laugh forever without getting sicl of each other 100/10 would recommend.

- 5'6" guy with a great personality, terrific physique, and well-off financially stays single

tl;dr men require a bare minimum of height, looks, and finances to be successful in LTRs, and if they're lacking just enough in one of those areas, then no matter how much they improve the other two, they're f***ed.

This is my DH. He's not single, lol. He's married to me -- a former model with multiple grad degrees and her own professional career and money. And there are plenty who would gladly get in line behind me at any given time, too.

So you must be some kind of bitter incel or something to be projecting like this?

What is his height, and what is yours? This sounds like little man fiction to me, tbh. Who puts a short man in a professional photo shoot with a woman his height or taller? Terrible marketing strategy, unless you use deceptive photography tricks to make him look taller.

My ex H was 2 inches shorter than me - him 5'8", me 5'10". I'll never date a man under 6' again. Skinny is fine.

I’ve met very few couples where the man is actually shorter than the woman. Plenty of couples where both are about the same height. I know many many wonderful & happily married shorter men- married to average height women or shorter women.

I wouldn’t have dated a man significantly shorter than I am- and he likely wouldn’t have wanted to date me either! Plenty of other people to choose from.

I’m only 5’3, so def not shorter.

Tall and skinny. I'm 5'3" and not dating someone shorter than me.

I am a 5'11" woman. I have had 3 serious relationships where the man was 4 or 5" shorter than me. One where he was 5" shorter and 30 pounds lighter. That superficial stuff does not matter. My husband is 3 inches shorter.

Would you prefer he be 5'6" and buff or 6'3" and lean? Assuming all other things about him are to your liking.

Oh, that's my DH. And he's shorter than I am by a smidge? So ... shorter?

Wow. How many such men exist lol? I'm glad you got yourself one. Hopefully you are not delusional enough to believe that finding a man with all qualities that you listed are plentiful. A man who can fix anything lol. Can I say I want a woman who can cook any tasty meal? Or no lol?

Thank you for your honesty. I am 6'6" and lean, and find women your height are crazy into me versus men closer to their height. Moreso than women of average height.

Do you find the greater height disparity to be more of a turn-on, or is it more a desire to havr taller children? Just curious.

Why do people on this forum always draw attention to women with grad degrees. I don't get it. What makes them special?
