How often do you meet or see men who are 5'3"? You'd have to work really hard to find one...

Stating the obvious here but certain nationalitities tend to be genetically short.

I'm barely 5'4" and I've seen quite a number of men my height.

Nope. I did once and never again. Always wished the guy was taller. Short men always have to go up to the tallest woman, you never see them go after short women. I hate it when short men approach me

That's true. I need an Amazonian woman to compensate for my own vertical insecurities.

Not true at all. Men generally don't care about height much.

Just wondering..

 

 

How short is short? At what height in a man, would deem him a short?

 

I say under 5'5.

At a little under 5'3", I've only seen one man my height, in all my 34.5 years. And I live in a city that's full of asian men, who are, on average, genetically shorter than caucasians, etc.

 

He was with his wife, who he towered over. They made a cute, little couple. I felt like an Amazonian! :laugh:

Dude, that's not that short. You gotta lose another 6 inches to be considered a midget man.

 

I'm 5 '11", which ain't nothing to brag about.

I'll be honest I had always been shallow about a guy's height. I'm 5'8" and love to wear heels so I am about 5'11" with my shoes. My father is tall, all the men in my family were 6ft+ and I always assumed I have a tall husband.

 

Well, short men always, always approached me. It was a huge turnoff to me, I didn't want to feel like their mom and I could not imagine myself getting intimate with some little man.

 

Finally I found this guy that we clicked so well. We loved spending time, going places, etc. It started out as friendship and I ended up marrying him. He's 5'9" so I started wear flats more than heels. I am the same height as him in our wedding pic, (I wore 1" heels).

 

It was really, really hard for me to start dating him. The height thing was almost a deal breaker, but I am glad I looked past that.

 

Amazing what love can be found when we stop judging men based on the size of their bodies and start basing them on the size of their hearts :)

 

All said: As long as the guy is CONFIDENT in who he is and not insecure about his height, he'll be fine. If he has a complex about his height, I would avoid him like the plague if I were you ladies.

 

I don't care if you're a 5'2" guy. If you walk and talk like you're 6'4", nobody is going to care how tall you are. Incidentally, our VP is 5'4" tall. No one smarts off or direspects him and he NEVER talks about his height.

 

On the flip side, we have a Director who is 5'6" and he constantly WHINES about his height. He's very insecure and it bothers people when he complains about it.

'I don't give a **** who he's connected to. Tell him to take his ****in' feet off the table. What's he think this is, a god**** sawdust joint?'
