Short men and romantic relationships

My DH is 5’6” and I’m 5’4” and “conventionally attractive”. I think the height obsession is an internet thing. I dated 6’ men before DH and his short stature didn’t occur to me, I guess because he’s still taller than me. I wouldn’t worry too much, honestly. I have some very beautiful petite friends who date sub-6’ men and I’m convinced it’s similar to how women think all men care about whether they are a size 00 or a 6 (they don’t).

Male 5’7 here - to be fair I do probably set myself up for failure by not going for 5’4 or shorter — though usually they are already taken it seems. 5’4 is the shortest I’ve ever dated and that was one person. Usually I’m asking out around the 5’6-5’8 type range.

I do run into more singles who are 5’7+ and who just say no vs the 5’4 and under who say (truthfully or not that they have a bf).

The most incredible couple I know (in terms of accomplishments and dedication and generally morals) is made up of a guy who is 5’5 and a woman who is 5’7.

My best friend from high school is 5’4, married to a man who is 5’5.

Shorter men live longer. The world is not made for people 5’11 and over.

Focus on the positives.
