Lilac, I've been trying to start a family for a while now, but I'm starting to give up hope for that. I honestly just don't see any educated woman willing to give a short man like myself a chance in a relationship. I somewhat understand it as well. She has spent time and energy pursuing an education, why should she have to settle for someone less than the best- after all, she can support herself and has time to be single and enjoy it. I've tried talking to women, but the fact that I'm 5'3 almost makes me an untouchable.
Oh, that's just ridiculous. There are plenty of men who are 5'3" who are happily married with kids, a good wife, and a good sex life. Don't use your height as an excuse. Maybe it will put you at a disadvantage for some women, but to say that your height makes you "untouchable" is just silly. Something else is going on with you.
You're right. I work with doctors and that's not the profession you take up simply to 'get laid,' don't know what brad is talking about. Some of them are perverts but all of the ones I've met have a passion for understanding the mechanics of the human body and modern medicine.
All I am saying is that doctors are respected scientific professionals who have accomplished a huge amount and are well-compensated. I for one LOVE female physicians, and I am sure that at least one woman who really admires intellectual men of achievement would be interested in the OP.
Why do you think you're less than the best? Height is a disadvantage, sure, but not an insurmountable one. You're a doctor, for God's sake. I'm sure you do very well financially.
Educated women tend to do very well financially also. They don't need a man who is particularly successful or intellectual. As long as he is kind, reasonably smart, and fits their list of physical attributes (height, face, etc) then it's good. But they are far less likely to settle than someone who isn't as educated.

It's not "silly." Have you ever dated anyone who was 5'3?
Well all I can say is, I wish I met women like Ruth, Doll Eyes, and Findley in my personal life. If they are who they represent themselves to be, I just have to bow down and say that they're amazing.
There has to be something else going on here. The short guy I dated, though we broke up, is now with a very petite, very attractive blonde. He's never had a problem with dating. He's confident, his body is amazing and he is very funny/outgoing. Now, he's no doctor so you have one-up on him in the career department, so there has to be something more to your story...

I second this. Educated women do go for short, educated guys. I've seen educated women flock around guys shorter than you. It's mainly about personality. Are you fun to be with? Outgoing?

Ruth, what do you mean by educated women? Women from rich families who went to top ranked colleges demand the best physically and intellectually. I don't understand why all the female posters are saying it's impossible that a 5'3 has so much bad luck in dating because of his height (though I wonder how many of them have actually dated someone that size). All the male posters on the other hand are saying that my height is pretty much the kiss of death in dating.
It's not "silly." Have you ever dated anyone who was 5'3?
Yes, and I'm 5'4", which is the national average for American women. I've also dated guys who were 5'2".
Really, something else is going on with you. Perhaps it's your penchant for self-pity and to assume that all women are the same and that you know what we all want.
