Hesitant to date a short guy

[Anonymous]

I think it’s understandable to not really want to date a guy who is more than a couple of inches shorter than you. I know it drives short guys crazy when short women only want to date tall men, though.

I’m not really a physical person I don’t have a huge list of physical traits a guy must have like some women do. If I am attracted to you I am. I’m more interested in character and personality. I never really thought of height and have dated shorter guys before. I’m kind of confused about my feelings.

OP, you sound like a good egg. You have to cut him loose though. You aren’t sexually attracted to him, and if you settle down the sex will dry up and he will spend his life trying everything to rekindle something he thought you felt but you really didn’t. It is sad, of course, but for the best.

Honey, you are 42 and not married? That says it all

Married with two kids. Jut celebrated our 8th anniversary. I was speaking from my single days.

Anywho, was at a wedding on Saturday and was followed all night by a bridesmaid I'd met two hours earlier. Yes she was tipsy, but she was hot and slim. My wife was not happy. But my wife is hotter.

You sound very insecure...like you have something to prove.

He's short! What do you expect?!

I would have sex with him at least once just to see

I am taller than my husband by a couple inches. It took some getting used to when we were dating and I asked all the same questions you are asking but after not too long realized he was the right guy for me no matter how tall. But I am about 5’10” to begin with. And it’s just a couple inches. I would also have hesitations in your situation as I don’t think I would feel comfortable. Just take your time and see where things go and how you feel and if you’re not feeling it then move along.

I am not a “must be tall” woman because at 5 feet most men ate taller than me so it is nothing I have ever had to think about but there is no way if I were your height I would date someone seven inches shorter than me. There are short women out there for him.

You sound upset that short guys have hot wives.

You need to take your insecurities out when you take the lifts out of your shoes. Just because your think someone is hot doesn't make it so. You could be single, living innyour mom's basement and as wide as you are tall and making everything up for all we know. Go away little troll.

I wouldn’t date anyone shorter than I. I am 4’10” so It’s never been an issue, lol. DH is 5’10”.

Give him a roll in the hay. It will be a fun experiment and you might learn something. Worst case scenario, you gave a nice guy a little release and made his day. If you don't click horizontally, you have your answer.

Oops. Short people, not shot people (though the song could apply to shot people but it wouldn't be nearly as funny).

A friend of mine is six feet tall and her husband is shorter than her by several inches. They've been happily married for years. I'd say it's a shallow reason to break up with someone, but if you're really not attracted to him, then that's what you have to work with.

If he's really a great guy, he will likely be able to find someone who appreciates him and doesn't mind his height at all.

-source, attractive woman married to a very cute guy who at 5' 7 " has women flirting with him constantly. Women. Love. Him. Thankfully, he's clueless about it.

You aren't wrong. There are great, attractive people that come in all shapes and sizes. However, one thing that is pretty universally unattractive is insecurity and the previous poster screams insecurity which makes it much less likely he would fall into the category of your hottie hubby.

Funny how two people can read the same words and reach opposite conclusions. I took him as confident and honest. Maybe that's because I don't find the idea of a shorter guy being handsome as preposterous. Maybe the baggage in this discussion is yours
