I would assume the answer is "No"...
I'm rather tall so I wouldn't know first hand, but any woman I've talked to has said she would feel weird/awkward/masculine etc. if she were to date a man shorter than her.
The average woman is pretty short, I don't think this is really a set back unless you're like, under 5'6 or something.

It's not like you're doomed, and most of the issue is outside stigma, like interracial couples have to deal with.. the glares, the laughing, yadda yadda.
You'd clearly be better off not dating a woman who's like a foot taller than you, I've done the reverse and it made a few things awkward, you know..

The height thing is also kind of like the weight thing for women. The "Average" height of males in north america is 5'10".. not 6' but we screw it up by making everyone look taller than they really are in movies.. look no further than Tom Cruise.. look at any movie he's in and we use all kinds of creative camera work to make him look like he's the same height or taller than any woman he's ever seen on screen with. they do the same thing with loads of guys.. just like they airbrush female celebrities and models to make them look thinner than they actually are.

Girls can like short guys but most girls are not initially attracted to ShortER guys. So don't worry too much if you're a 5 ft 7 or even 5 ft 6 guy because you're still taller than most women.

However, it can get a little bit more difficult when you're under 5 ft 5. But that doesn't mean you're screwed. You can choose to be dateless and alone if you never try to talk to girls. You just have to tell yourself to walk up and talk to a girl. The 1st time will always be the worst but once you talk to girls the 3rd or 4th time, it will be no big deal.

1st time is always the worst in everything.



Oh yah if you are short, don't talk about your height a lot around girls because they will think you're insecure about it. Then, they will be insecure about it as well. You have to see your own height as being no big deal then other girls will see it as no big deal as well.

Also, if you're worrying your height, think about it this way. There will always be someone shorter than you. For instance, I roll my eyes sometimes when I see 5 ft 7 or even 5 ft 8 guys complaining they're too short since I am a 5 ft 2 guy. However, I know that there are guys out there who are a lot shorter than me who probably wish they were at least 5 ft tall.

Been short all my life, shortest kid in class, shortest of my friends, shorter than most of my girlfriends. My height was only an issue with one woman who was a 6''4" dutch lady, who cared too much about what other people think, and not her own feelings. She would have gone out with me if it wasn't for her friends joking about us hanging out. Can't be bothered by it though, I'm older now and have had my fair share of good experiences to look back on.

To be short, which I am, and some of you guys are as well, own that s**t. Confidence will make you grow many inches of height in the eyes of a lot women. Stop worrying about your height. Don't even think about it.

Good gravy! Either that guy is 5-foot-zero or that redhead is 6'6"! Maybe both!

At 6'4" I'm not used to bending the neck UP for kisses... but at least she wouldn't need a kissing-stool. ;)

I'm a 23-year-old guy, and I'm 5' 4" and 100 lbs. I don't have either my height or weight going for me, but I'm in pretty good shape, and I try to keep myself well-groomed. I actually met a woman at the young adults' retreat I went to this weekend in Santa Cruz; she's a year or two older than I am, and she's probably almost half a head taller than I am, if not more- but we hit it off pretty well. Enough so, that she gave me her contact info, and we're keeping in touch via Facebook and text messaging.

I'm living proof that you don't have to look like a model or a football player to be attractive to women.
