I’m feel inadequate due to being tiny and petite!

Wipe that out your head. Can’t speak for all men, given the choice between a tall woman or a petite woman, I’d take the petite woman.

I felt the same way as OP for a *long* time. I was so insecure about my height. But, I did date guys 5'7"+, and DH is 6'2". I didn't go looking for such a tall man. 5'11" was my ideal. It just ended up this way.

I am 5' 2'' and he is 6' 4''. not my tallest, either.

I’m petite 5’1 and never had someone tell me my height was an issue. I was always popular with guys.

You are probably a pedophile.


No. I'm a woman and always wondered that about men who preferred petite women.


Women prefer taller men; many men prefer petite women. It triggers an instinct to protect and provide, and to cuddle.

I’m curious if my height and smallness would not be attractive on the dating market. I’m a size 2 and dress in cute feminine clothes.



Of course! Sounds ideal.

Women can be pedophiles too.


Sure, and if a woman exclusively dated short, young looking men, I would also wonder if she was a pedophile
