5'9 is not short but not tall

My husband is 5'8'' and everyone I knew tried to dissuade me from marrying him because he was short. I am two inches shorter than him and didn't care. The people who tried to dissuade me are still single 5 years later hoping for the perfect tall man to come around.

My husband is also short (5’9) and my single friend has made fun of him for it. She is average but will only date tall, successful men. It’s why she is single

In what universe is 5’9” short?? Or even 5’8”. As PP said, it’s not tall, but it’s not short (though I’m 5’’3.5” and was fine dating anyone 5’6” and up).

I can’t even fathom any of my friends trying to dissuade me from marrying someone based on height; that’s just bizarre and reflects so poorly on your friends.

Stop chasing resumes and actually make yourself available to men in your area. How about actually striking up a conversation with a strange guy? Heaven forbid asking one out on a date or proposing a date on Tinder.

White US women are incredibly entitled, spoiled and lazy compared to Latin American women.

What about aftrican american women or do you have an opinionon those too? One white guy told me that he thought AA women would "hold down their men." WTF, so you come into a relationship thinking i am going to put up with sh*t. BTW, I am American too. So how does your comment compare to his comment?

Why did you need to add that he has an Ivy League MBA? Does that equalize his shorter stature. Also, your post is very telling, your husband has better "credentials" than you which is pointed out in your state school versus Ivy comparison. This is what every woman wants; a man that has more than her. I could have bought your argument had you not needed to post his credentials and said that he worked at the local Harris Teeter. He has a younger, blonde cute wife, every white man's dream yet you feel compelled to post here?

Like they say . . . Bye, Felicia.

No, i don't date short, fat men. We have nothing in common. Its great though since there are plenty of short women that will date you. They have no reason to turn their attention to me.

This works out perfectly.

You have nothing in common with short men, short men are fat, and other women are the clueless ones. Got it.

He is perfect for you.

For most women I know it doesn't matter that the husband is taller than them - they want a man who is 6ft+ and considered tall by society. If taller than woman was the standard, then most women would be happy, but that's not enough. The clueless women are those who won't settle for anything less than 6ft+ in a man.

Thats the whole point. It's more than preference. I do a lot of distance walking, at least 5 miles a day up to 9 miles plus gym time 3 days a week. I want a partner that can prioritize their fitness too. I am also prone to be diabetic but i control it though diet and exercise. Not everyone is being shallow.

Remaining single because you “want a man considered tall by society” suggests you have the IQ of a plant.

This female obsession with height is beyond strange to me.

You’re a terrible friend; you didn’t validate their stupid life decisions by also saying no to anyone who isn’t an abnormally tall surgeon + yachtsman.

At least there are cats that need homes at the county shelter.
