You must know that OP is not short for a woman, so don't be malicious. She is above average height and this guy is much bellow average height for a man.
It is actually natural if she's above average height to want an above average height man.

Calling someone short is not malicious, not sure why you are so offended the thought of someone being short. She is short in my book, but i'm white. A lot of people are short to me.

it probably seems that way to you because you are in a higher than average SES group. For some unknown reason, taller people have higher incomes.

It's ok that she's short in your book, but you called her short just to cover up for this man in question being short. Objectively she is not short. Objectively he is short.

I'm 5'7 and not offended at all.

I would meet him for coffee + just take a “wait-and-see” approach to this situation.

When you are together w/him, how do you feel?
If you constantly feel uncomfortable in his presence due to his height, then it is best if you remain platonic.

However, try to keep an open mind & focus on his other qualities.

Does he have nice, white straight teeth?
Does he have an excellent sense of style??

If he is charming, witty and you truly enjoy being in his presence then look at the big picture.
What do a few inches have to do w/how great this guy may seem?

Nothing.
Good luck!!

I agree with the PP. Go out with him once, and see if attraction grows. We all have a "type" and a mental picture of who we think we want to be with, but there are often surprising and wonderful exceptions.

Better childhood nutrition = bigger brain and taller human. Better childhood nutrition is also related to wealthier parents and better-educated mother, which also lead to higher incomes.

I was the same way when I met my husband. All my previous relationships were with guys who you would consider quite tall. But there was something about him I couldn’t overlook. I talked to my friend really torn. And she said you can’t look for perfection it doesn’t exist. If you meet someone that has everything you are looking for except height you owe it to yourself to at least try. So I did. I was hooked by date #2 in love by date #3. Haven’t looked back since. We’ve been happily married 15 years. I have a friend who the only thing she can compliment her husband on is his height. I feel bad for her. You can’t help it if you aren’t attracted to him if that’s the case move on, you need that spark but if you are attracted and it’s only his height that’s holding you back doesn’t hurt to try. It may or may not work out but at least you won’t always second guess if you missed out on something.

you get used to short really fast. as a tall woman, it's more a problem for men than for me. also bald is no problem as long as he cuts it all super short.

so idk if you're shallow or just prioritizing wrong but I would consider consciously trying to open your mind and deliberately teaching your vajayjay to expand its horizons. People of all shapes and sizes can be sexy if you let them.
