It depends on how short the guy is. Being seen with a man shorter n smaller than u can create very wierd feeling. Anything more than three inches shorter is not advicable.its just my opinion.

Give modern medical advances a few more years on the latter.

The infomercials on extends male enhancement are taking over.... the poor guys who buy into this crap.

I agree most tall women wouldn't, come to think about it not even most short women date us shorter men.

I am not very tall (about 5'4.5") I like tall men. I feel like the odds are you should be taller than me. I don't want to tower over you on the day I put on some heels.

Being buff is like height bonus points though. Short and skinny, doesn't work in my book (but I don't really like tall and skinny either)

So you want someone who's taller than you even in your heels, you didn't specify the heel size though, would they make you 2" taller or say 5" taller?

I like 6ft guys as much as everyone else, but I'll tolerate 5'8".

Around 3 inches taller works. 5'6" always feels too short. But shoulder width matters too.

I see, I am 5'8" and I don't socialize much or ask women out since they usually think like you and go for a 5'8" guy as a last option or an unwanted option rather if they can't find any 6' guys around.

I am however getting a limb lengthening surgery done which would get me to around 6' then I will be good.

There is no relationship between tallness and hotness. I'll take a guy with dimples at any height anytime.

Actually it is really the 5'4" to 5'6" guys that have problems.

If I can look up to you, it's enough. You should try more. It is when I am at eye level and its a little iffy. Then you need to be a little wider. I think it is all about feeling like he has a bigger physical presence than you. So if there is a guy who let's say, looks like I can take him at arm wrestling with no problems, then it is minus 30 points. But you can gain quite a few of them back with a confident personality. Even the guys that are shorter than me have a chance with confidence.

There are two types of short guys:
Napoleon syndrome
And the I'm not confident because I am short

Confidence wins out over everything for me.

My mom is 5'6.5" and my dad is 5'8.5." They are at 38 years and counting.

Napoleon Complex is not confident, it's insecure. It's the same as the other type except it compensates by being pushy.

Also, I'm pretty sure there are 'normal' and 'cool' short guys who are neither of the two types you are speaking of.
