I'm 5'8" and secure enough to date men shorter than me.

I agree with this too, but laugh when people feel this idea can't apply to race or other unchangeable attributes. If there's no attraction, it's not going anywhere.....

Thank you. And it has nothing to do with being a racist or anti short men or anti men in general

We all have our preferences. However, some of the short men I met are super smart and open minded. Many of them have the confidence to know that physical attraction is important in a relationship, they don't have problems at all for being rejected for whatever the reasons. That (confidence and respect) makes these short men very attractive.

Well, I've been rejected twice in the past 3 weeks based on height, but I did make a great potential friend regardless

I really don't care much about height, but I have noticed that men can be very picky and since I do online dating, it can get old having guys say 'wow, I didn't realize how tall you were' when I'm wearing flats and my height is listed right there on my profile.

Honestly, there are so many more important things to worry about than height, but for some people they have many options and can reject people who don't meet their specifications but still have plenty of others waiting in line. I'll continue being a giant amazon woman and wearing my cute heels when I go out!

You'd have no problems at all with men in my family. Every man in my family is over 6'1"

All my male family members have dated women from 5 feet to 6'

People have preferences. That's life.

What I find funny is when I have a specific preference, and I get blasted for it.

I suppose I should just drop what I find unattractive since it's becoming the norm.

I don't want to derail the thread. So I won't bring it any further than this.

Same with my family My Dad is 6'3, brother is 6'4, I'm 6'1 and my poor mom and sister are barely 5'6.

The last two guys I went out with were 5'9 and 5'11 and both told me they 'didn't realize how tall I was' and that they weren't interested in dating...but one told me we could still be friends so I'll take it!

Trust me trimac, it's not your height stopping you from getting a woman.

Don't worry about them. All my brothers would have no problem dating women your height. They all call me shorty and I am 5'7" My brother dated a bikini model who is 6 feet tall, she is gorgeous with beautiful long legs.

You should try modeling. Tyra Bank has also been bashed for her height, for being skinny too. Look at her, super model! Don't worry about what others say!

I don't get mad because I have had much success dating and I agree with you, but I don't scold the shorter men who "whine" about it because it is their right to complain considering it's an almost universal preference. They do have it tougher so it would be quite rough for the average short or shorter guy.
