Their answers might surprise you.

"So I met this guy on Tinder [who] said, 'Just to let you know, I'm a little on the short side — I'm 5'4".' I'm 5'3" so I thought, hmm he is pretty short but at least he's *slightly* taller than me so I'll give it a shot. We met up for our date and he definitely lied about his height — he was probably more like 5'2"… When we were sitting at a table everything was normal, but walking next to each other definitely felt weird. I'm also quite athletic/muscular and this guy was definitely not…" — Elysse Stanger, social media professional

"I've never done it. And probably won't." — Evette Dionne, Revelist senior news and identity editor

"I use the 'genetic superiority' excuse. I'm not one to date casually, so I figure that if my 5' self dates a short guy, and I were to have a son from said relationship, the poor child wouldn't have a chance. But in all honesty short guys tend to have over-the-top personalities. The Napoleon Complex is real." — Massiel Ortiz Espinal

"I would never date a guy shorter than me. I'm a taller than the average girl (5'8") so it kinda sucked because it lessened my options, but height was a big thing for me and I never settled. Then I married a giant 6'7" man!" — Lindsay Korsan, LasikPlus surgical technician

"I won't lie — I much prefer to date guys taller than me. My current boyfriend is rather tall, but I've dated guys several inches shorter than me too, and I found if they were comfortable with it, it didn't bother me either. But if they were intimidated or poked fun when I wore heels, for example, it became a problem. I think it's totally in the attitude. In my mind, it's a turn-on when a guy is tall. But it's not a turn-off is he's short, if that makes sense." — Christina Sterbenz, Business Insider weekend editor

"I’m a tall lady so I’m fine with dating dudes my height and shorter. THAT SAID, MANY shorter dudes have had a SEEEEEEEEERIOUS problem with my height. So as usual, the problem is men." — Alle Connell, Revelist senior lifestyle editor

"My boyfriend is just shy of 5' 4"; I'm just a tad taller than him. I sometimes feel uncomfortable wearing heels with him because the norm depicts women as having to be smaller than men. He loves when I wear heels and doesn't have any problem being shorter. I guess it boils down to the same for both tall and short men: Being genuinely confident is attractive." — Joy Liu, Burns Group account executive

"Honestly I just want to have to stand on my tip-toes when I kiss a guy. Just once. The ultimate shallow fantasy." — Emily Shugerman, Revelist news and identity intern

"Dated quite the Napoleon Complex-esque guy once. No thank you. As long as someone was at least the same height as me, I was okay (5'6"). It's not that shorter guys were less attractive to me, but more that I felt less feminine when I was the taller one. It made me feel awkwardly self-conscious." — Kelli Silvestri, St. Francis Xavier School music teacher

"I don't know if you’ve ever noticed this but my generation [Gen Z] is a lot shorter than yours. My personal theory is the chemicals in food and pesticides and unneeded prescription meds — but anyway, we’re all kinda short. But the widespread opinion among college girls (that I’ve found) is that as long as a guy is taller than you then it’s fine. Like if you’re 5’ and he’s 5’3” that’s cool. [But] we’re also a little more lax about dating men who are shorter than you, like if a girl is really tall then she’ll date a few inches shorter." — Bari Stanger, UMass Amherst student

"I am 5'3", so as long as a guy is taller than me… But I do like height on a man." — Sierra Barter, The Lady Project cofounder and CEO

"My intelligent brain says go for it with short guys, but I feel like women are programmed from childhood that guys should be our protectors, and that kind of constant messaging pays off." — Shaunna Murphy, Revelist senior entertainment editor

"I am a mere 4'11", and height of men doesn't impress me. It actually makes me feel a bit less secure, since I probably could not fend off a 6-foot guy. At the same time, if a guy is as short or shorter than me it suggests to me he might have a growth issue." — Alani Grace Grant, research assistant at University of Tennessee Knoxville and teaching assistant at University of Pittsburgh

"I'm like in love with a dude who's probably 5'6" and I usually date guys who are six feet. I don't know how I feel about it. Then again I'm 5'3" so it doesn't matter as much I can still wear heels and be about his height." — Hannah Page, Revelist lifestyle intern

"OMG yes, I have dated multiple short men. But kissing a short (shorter than me) guy was hard because I hate bending down! I couldn't throw my arms around his neck." — Liva Jostad-Laswell, Sacramento Waldorf School humanities teacher

"I've dated across the height spectrum and found there are nice things at every level. There is something appealing about height, but the easy eye contact with short men is great and often the cuddling angles are comfier. And once you're laying down, height doesn't really matter!" — Carla Lerner, actress

@BadBoy89 "Thoughts?"

A fella can dress taller(Most actors aren't especially large men) + Bulk up, same way chicks with A cups have the option of throwing on a push up bra or forking over the cash on a boob job

Everyone has obstacles to overcome

yeah I’m taller, to be honest when I load up new hinge accounts I’m bombarded with 20-30 matches per day, and I don’t even have to search much myself, they find my profile and match me first

But I think hinge requires paid subscription to search filter with heights? And I doubt any woman would pay for Hinge

but still, it sounds like a pretty sweet deal huh? 25 matches per day. The truth is I get overwhelmed by it and it takes days to catch up with the matches and sending crafty messages is like an EFFING PART TIME JOB!! I mean, it’s so much work.

plus another downside is it’s like juggling 100 toxic women usually. So instead of a guy dealing with a few matches of flakey babes who ghost; I’m dealing with a heavier load

eventually I burn out around 2 weeks and have to delete the app it causes psychological distress in me after 2 weeks. For real

the women also screen shot and share my profile basically everywhere, so there’s this hidden layer of stress developing because when I text 50 women, probably 300 or more are actually seeing and judging my stuff. You know what I mean? God forbid you type something stupid, the whole internet and all her friends will be notified!

think of all the nonsense a man has to trudge through from 100 profiles

so after a week or so I will have a set of phone numbers and be to burnt out to pursue them. Or I go on a few dates and drink too much, and go out again. Eventually I’m run down and partied out

The "genetic superiority" line is gonna hit hard when these hoes are competing with androids for jobs and sex partners. Pricing power erodes fast when you lose that p*ssy monopoly, and you won't be able to make it up at the job that just got swiped out from under you either.

On the plus side they can just get a mandroid to play with their feelings!

This is an interesting one.. I havent posted on here..So may as well do so now.. I am one of the vertically challenged gentleman of the forum.. 5ft4 so very much smaller end of the spectrum. And truth be told.. it hasnt really bothered me at any point. Sailed through life minus ridicule or any verbal or physical bullying in school/college etc.

My dad is small..as is my mum unsurprisingly.. dads a bit taller than me, but short by conventional standards nonetheless. To the best of my knowledge, none of the guys in my family have ever had issues with 'dating' or finding a partner, I may be wrong of course but the evidence suggests otherwise. For me, I've always been quite lucky in thr sense that I was fairly popular in school, and college..played some team sports etc..so had a decent enough social circle and a good core group of pals.. I think that has helped in a lot of ways...its shallow I know..but being friends with the popular kids at times, did not harm from my experience.

No in my 20s I was by no means ' a chad' or a ladies man..not even close, but i had no issues and was always capable of chatting to girls and did ok ..few relationships and short/long term style arrangements here and there.. my mid to late 20s I had a very abundant couple of years and was always confident when I went out! 2014 in particular was a very 'fruitful' year, quite a Few pulls and ONS from social settings and trips.. sounds cringe I know

However fast forward a few years...and after the usual peer pressure, and societal 'norm' i did thr the usual OLD BS, and tbf didnt take it very seriously...got a few dates here and there..but nothing seemed long term.. I started to get a few digs about my height, but didnt really register properly. Until one date, where I thought it had gone well, and was brutally told how 'my height was too much of an issue for her'..it quite literally hit me like a brick to the face. Fast forward about 4 months.. another conversation going well....and a date set up...she decided late in the day, sorry I can't fo through with it..as the height matters..despite chatting and having good banter etc. If I am honest....over time it started to decimate my confidence...and now..despite a few dates here and there...and a long term FWB..I dont really bothered any more..which is a shame...But the OLD experience have really eaten away at my once 'Jack the Lad ' confidence and presence.. Struggled to get back into a positive mindset unfortunately..dating wise at least..

It is what it is..I am.extremely happy generally, I am fairly ok looks wise, I work out and keep fit.. still play a bit of sport..so my social circle is good..and life has been kind to me tbf.. I cant complain too much, just a strange one how I've gone from a very abundant and confident dude with the girls and had somw success with some decent quality ladies to having a lot of ridicule online..and ita knocked my confidence..I know im not ugly or 'down and out' but lost the confidence. And its literally all down to OLD..ffs. part of thinks 'get a grip bro'...its not real life..go down your thing and forget the algorithms..but gonna take some time i think now..

 

[MR ANDREW J BROWN]

I should add, I am also under zero illusion.. I do get that 99 out of 100 women, if asked, would choose the 6ft4 average looking dude over the 5ft6 decent looking dude.. Human nature tends to be this way..at surface level..at least..

 

[craider]

These experiences should be decimating your confidence in the value of these hoes, not in yourself.

When it happens again just ask her how much money/status you'd need to make up the gap and get between her legs. Then ask her to pick up the tab for wasting your time and leave.

They're literally b*tches negging you about height after agreeing to a date. Who cares what they think?

100% my friend.. wise words.. like I say..I never had any major trouble IRL ..and generally speaking I always felt abundant and confident... I think being social and present trumps a lot of these other attributes..

Can only speak for myself but I’d never want a robot sex partner. Or online porn. I’d always rather have a real life female in every way.

men and women are perfectly designed for each other

Well like I mentioned I’m taller. I’ve never heard a woman tell me I’m too short. I’ve never been told my penis is too small.

but I’m positive if you are 5’4” women that are 5’1” and less have no problem with your height. Your height is actually better for short petite women and those are the best women body size

ive dated women shorter than that and I think the truth is a guy just needs to be a few inches taller than her, minimum. There’s no need to be 6’4”. You just need to be taller than her
