Don't ask me to explain why, but I've always embraced shortness as awesomeness. Then I go to forums and see short girls match with tall guys a foot taller than them.
Tall girls searching for tall guys they can't find, and short guys complaining they can't get both types of girls.
Then on Korean forum, you have talk of how they want the kids to be a certain height by mixing and matching the parent height.
Well, I am a short guy and I am with a short girl and not only do I love it, I embrace shortness. I feel bad that the social pressures aren't fair on short people, especially short guys, but also short women.
I guess this could go in a psychology or relationships forum but I think it belongs here because I want to hear stories from couples in a relationship where the girl and guy are both shorter than average
Specifically girls 5'2" and shorter
Guys 5'5" and shorter
Or at least just both under 5'5"
5'1" female -- people were always trying to pair me with short guys cuz we'd "look so cute together". Hated that! avoided short guys like crazy! ended up with a 5'5" guy (RIP) - we built a cabin & saved $ having lower than average ceilings, I felt I could look him straight in the eyes. married to 6' guy now -- he will unintentionally put things up too high, I have stools all over the house
I do find that people are nice and not nice in all shapes and sizes. But it really bothers me when anyone belittles or downplays the value of shorter people. One trait I find is very common in the shorter people is honesty, and they put up with a lot. Modeling agencies that exclude them when they fully qualify, people who think they can't play basketball, I just want to even the playing field. To even the playing field, short people need their turn too to get championed.
Also, I got to experience being extremely short before I reached adult height of being slightly short. I miss being extremely short. It doesn't seem precedented for a male to say this but yes I liked being little. It gave me identity, it equated me with being the underdog, the little engine that could, the grassroots voice, the one who could squeeze through the hole in the fence when the school was closed...to get the frisbee out of the schoolyard
I'm just shy of 5'2" The shortest guy I dated was 5'3". I loved that I could look him straight in the eye instead of craning my neck to look up at him! I've dated a couple others around 5'6" and that worked find, too.
Height never really mattered to me, though. I care a lot more about what's inside. I know some short men who are giants when it comes to character and personality.

At 5'2"... I have to look up to just about everyone. Kind of hard to NOT date taller. My guy is 6'5", but I didn't choose him because of his height, I picked him because he's an all around awesome man.
I have dated shorter guys... Heights not been an issue.
