Dating Shorter Men

[Tru Blue Lady]

I usually prefer men who are taller than me. I have never dated men who are shorter than me, because I think I would feel to insecure when I'm with him. I prefer my man to at least be taller than me when I have on high heels (which is not hard because I'm only 5'2)

LOL! A couple of Sorors have almost beat me to the punch, but at 5 feet even, I cannot imagine dating someone shorter... I am very attracted to big/tall men. I have never dated anyone under 5' 11". Let me clarify "big". I don't mean *******, (nevah mind what I thought about typing) let's just say with no clue of or interest in physical fitness and upkeep, but definitely built(not necessarily very muscular or cut)/chunky/and plenty to hold onto. I am not drawn to short men (under 5' 6")...no offense brothas. I am quite happy with the 5' 11" blessing I have.

Yes, Mandingo, you can get some love around here.

I don't think I would date a man shorter than me, but then I don't want a man towering over me either. I'm 5'7 and the shortest guy I dated was 5'10 and when I had heels on we were close to the same height. I think the perfect height for me is 6'1.
It is unfortunate because it seems as though that all the men I meet here are short.

Although it's not all about looks, I know myself well enough that I know if my man was shorter than me, it would bother me, and be an on-going concern of mine--so in knowing that, I wouldn't even put myself in that position in the first place--I wouldn't date a guy that's shorter than me...and since I'm really not tall myself, if you are shorter than me, you're pretty SHORT, especially for a man...then even if you got past that, you have to think about if you should settle down w/ him, you're children will be short too!! But don't get me wrong, too tall isn't great either...I like them in the Average/tall category

I dated a guy who was cute as a button, but only 5'6.5"...I'm only 5'4.5", but because he was also slender, I felt like I was molesting a child. As I get older, things like height aren't as important, but I will say that I do like them at least 5'9" and taller if possible. I think women are attracted to taller men because height conveys strength and power (ladies, don't you just feel...more protected and feminine with a taller man? ). However, if a man is intelligent and confident in his own skin, then height seems to become less important (if the 5'6" one had acted right, I'd still be dating him today, for example ...)

Hey sorors and sisterfriends, it's been awhile since I have posted on this site. My password wasn't working for quite awhile. Anyways to answer the question, no I would not date a man who is shorter than me, nor would i date one that was the same height as myself for that matter. LOL. I have always had a thing for tall men, I guess most short women do! Personally, I just think that men look better when they have height and are well built. A tall man looks more powerful to me and I love powerful men!
