No. I've always dated women that were shorter than me. For the women, I might ask, have you ever dated a man shorter than you are?
My wife is 4'11, by the way. I'm 5'11. Not that it matters, to me. It's kind of funny, though. She's that tall and 95 lbs. I'm a foot taller and built like a line backer.

Not officially dated, but was interested in two extremely tall women.

IMHO, the vast majority of women will not do it. My wife had one blind date before she met me. She answered the door and he was an inch shorter. She talked about that date for years after, and how horrified she was that he was shorter.

I've never known any women who dislike V shape, defined lean muscle, swimmer's body and six pack. I've never known any women prefer a man who is shorter than them. But on city data relationship forum, you might get complete different answers

One of the women I mentioned was 6-6, and the other was 6-4. Most men were shorter than those two. The only reason I didn't try to pursue the first one was she was pregnant when I met her.

But she was one of the sweetest people I ever knew.

No I have never dated any man shorter than me but that would be tough because I am 5'1" (almost)

Most women want a man to be taller than them, in addition to 6" in case they feel like wearing stripper heels once a year.

I have never dated a woman taller than me, and I'm 5'9". I like short ladies.

I've only saw a couple of women in my entire life taller than me and they didn't appear to interested in me anyway..I can't say it would be a deal breaker for me tho....nice to have someone who can reach things on the top shelf their self.

Some women will not care. I had a girl ask me to a winter ball that was an inch or two taller than me (I'm 5'7'' or 5'8'') and she TOWERED over me with her five or six inch heels.

My current girlfriend I have been dating is my exact height. However, with heals on, she's much taller than me.

Not all women will write a guy off for being too short.

Nope. Any woman who is taller than me (6'5) has got to be an WNBA player.
