I am not short but I know a guy who is and I am wondering do women tend to reject guys like that?

Well, I have a 5'6" man and I've been madly in love with him for 4 years. I'm 5'1". I think he's the shortest man with whom I've ever been. But I love that I don't have to strain my neck when I kiss him and his body fits mine so nicely. My father is 5'4" and he gets all the ladies. And look at Dudley Moore!

Its more about the personality than anything. If a guy is comfortable with who he is, that projects outward. My guy has a bit of the Napoleon complex which pisses me off at times but as he gets older he sheds that more. And if a woman will toss off a guy because of height, she has issues that he probably doesn't need in his life. Same with baldness. I'm a very attractive woman and have dated all kinds. The best men are those who love themselves and have a general love for life.

You're right... Some good-looking people haven't felt the need to develop a personality. Respect for those who have a good head on their shoulders and make the right choices!

I think this will differ from woman to woman. I've seen plenty of couples in which the woman was taller than the man. I, personally, like for a man to be taller than I am (I'm 5'7"), but that won't automatically mean he'll need to be 6'2" or anything.

I'm 5'2" and my husband is 6'2" - I actually wish he was shorter. Our family pictures tend to look ridiculous. Then again, I'm sure he wishes I was taller......

He passed away back in '02, but I'm sure he got his share of women when he was alive.

One of my best relationships (deepest, most loving and supportive, and really great sex) was with a man a couple inches shorter than i am and although it certainly wasn't a "deal breaker" i was always somewhat uncomfortable with the size difference. It's difficult to explain why it was uncomfortable for me and every woman is different and there are so many other variables but for me, whether having to do with size or body "type", it's important that i feel physically compatible, ie; feel that i "fit" with someone physically.
I think that women who are superficial and care about their image, ie; care what other people think, may tend to reject shorter men but i don't know.

Well, being that i'm about 5'11" i don't think i would date someone 5'5" or shorter. I have dated a couple of 5'8" or 5'9"'s before, but i prefer someone at least 6'. Guess it all comes down to the guy and his personality.......but i'm still not sure i could date someone more than 2 or 3 inches shorter than me, i like to wear heals at times and it would just look too weird!
