Would you date a guy smaller than you?

Post Reply New Topic

I am tall so I don't know if I would b able to cope if the man was smaller than me.It would just feel weird because in my head the man should be taller.

I have dated a guy shorter than me. we both enjoyed hiking and had a pleasant relationship.

I understand where you are coming from, and I also know that on the surface that seems somewhat superficial.
On the other hand, it takes some time to overcome our inbuilt predilections, and prejudice; which often we don't even realise is there in the first place.
I've never been comfortable dating taller women, I'm 5'10", so mostly that hasn't been an issue.
On the other hand, I also don't really want to be with a much smaller woman.
I ended up marrying a woman a bit shorter than me the first time around.
My current wife is a bit shorter still, and she uses a wheelchair to get around.
I never thought I would even date a wheelchair user, but I got over that when I realised how compatible we are.

You may never have to face your issue, as presumably there are plenty of guys taller than you.
On the other hand, you may find you meet someone that is shorter than you'd prefer, and if you are very compatible, you will need to reconsider, whether your preference should restrict you from dating someone who meets your expectations, or whether it is more appropriate to reconsider your expectations.

You never know who it is that will help you find happiness, and you don't want some preconceived idea to sentence you to miss out on worthwhile opportunities.
Food for thought at any rate.

Yes.

If he's 2 feet tall and the height difference seems like a problem, then we could always get him fitted with stilts.

Some of the women I've dated would say yes

I still say that stilts are under-rated.

Men who are 6 foot get laid more often but I am 115 pounds and 5'6" and i just got p**** tonight.... she could not stand for like 10 minutes it was so good. she is like 3 inches taller than me. I have gotten plenty of p****. And who need to beat your ass when i could jsut hack your computer and plant incriminating evidence on there then alert the FBI then you get thrown away for a good 20 years... im sure plenty of people would do lots of things worse than kicking to your ass in prison mate.

Physical strength is not everything.

My point is not that It is is effective or needed. the point was that just because a man is not physically fit or tall, does not mean he cannot beat you. Apples and oranges, we need people in this world to be soldiers and farmers and industrial workers. we also need engineers, doctors, scientists, teachers, writers, and many other things that you can be unfit and still succeed at. and still get p****.

and if i was good enough i would not get caught and why would someone need to kick your ass in the first place? i mean if it was life or death i would just shoot you, or hide using my brain until you fell asleep and crush your head with a rock or slit your throat. I mean you do not need to be strong. I would call a man a coward or "p****" based on his moral fiber and resolve, not his height or weight.

Why do you care what other women would think about this.

Would YOU date a guy smaller than you?? Apparently, you won't.

So again what are you seeking out of this thread?

Just other people's opinion that's all. Sorry if this thread has upset you

and if 99% of opinions happen to say they have no problem, would you suddenly mentally change and start accepting the idea of dating a shorter guy?

I see your point and you are right.I probably would change.I just sometimes worry what people think.
