A "man" under 5'5"??? Sorry hon, but it would be really, really hard for me to think of someone that short in terms of a strong and masculine presence.
But you go ahead. It sounds like you may not have defined your type or your boundaries yet.
My wife used to pick only tall blonde guys. She eventually found out that physical height and hair color doesn't make a man. It does, however, make some men think their shyt don't stink, and that they are God's gift to women. The only problem I see in the OP's situation is how she views it as a problem. How would she feel if the 5"3" guy only was interested in dating cute, smart women, and she didn't fit his 'mold'? Maturity does wonders on how people view their dates.
So I met up with some friends from grade school at a local bar over the weekend. One of the guys (who I haven't seen in 10+ years) was definitely hitting on me, buying me drinks and at the night asked me for my number. He is super cute and is a personal trainer so he's body is amazing. The only problem...he's like 5'3". I am around 5'1" so he is slightly (very slightly) taller than me. I have never dated someone under 5'11" and I do find him attractive it just may take some getting used to.
Have any women every dated a man under 5'5"?
I'm 5'8", and no, I've never dated someone under 5'5". But now that I'm older and wiser, height has taken a back seat to more important things.
If this guy has a great personality, treats you well, is a decent human being, makes you laugh, respects you, etc...you'd be VERY foolish to cast him aside because he's only 2" taller than you.
When I was single I didn't turn away guys because of their height. I dated guys between 5'1" to 6'3". Almost dated a guy who was 6'8" but he was too shy and so was I! hehe Why turn down a guy because he's short? He didn't choose his height, just like he didn't choose his skin color or most other physical features. And typing of which...in response to "shortness" being pervasive on the whole body, absolutely NOT. One ex was around 5'5" and had smaller feet than I do (I wear size 7) and let's just say he greatly defied the stereotype.
If your questioning whether or not to date him and hes still 2 inches taller than you, how is he EVER going to find a date? Poor guy, I feel bad for him.
Im 6'1" and I love a girl who's shorter than 5'5". Now I feel bad for taking the only ones he MIGHT have a chance with. Height should not be your only deciding factor.
I dated a man who was 5'5" and that was when he was really stretching upward. I have never dated a 5-foot-3 inch man as an adult (I'm sure I must have early on in high school) but then again, I've known maybe two men that height and one is my sister's FIL. I just don't know a lot of 5'3" men.
I too am short...5'1".
And no. I have not found that taller guys have bigger schvanzes. If that's where this convo is going.
If he's a good guy and treats you well, why would you cast him aside based on his height?
