At least to me, being 5'8, I don't date shorter men (never did). I don't feel comfortable. I guess women like feeling feminine and somewhat delicate, and when you are tall with a short guy you feel too big. Nobody wants to feel that way!
But hey, there are many short girls around for shorter guys!

I'm not really that tall but I don't think I have any problem with dating someone who's taller in as much as they are not more than 2 inches taller, lol. To be honest it's really awkward dating someone taller as a male and shorter as a female. However, this things shouldn't really matter but it's all about what the society has filled us with it.

A lot here in our country tell me that I seem to appear tall and is also one reason why some men get intimidated to approach me. I had a mutual understanding before with a shorter guy though he was cute but the thing we had didn't level up so to speak. :) I don't see anything wrong with the height differences as it is just physical but due to our aesthetic-driven world, we had this connotation that men should really be at least an inch taller than us, women ;)

My current gf is just under 5'8". I am 5'6". Im going to have to ask her how she feels about it. However it does not bother me at all.

My girlfriend is only 5'1" and I'm just a touch over 5'10" so, whenever we are standing together, there's definitely a big difference with our heights. I think her height just makes her incredibly cute, and it certainly makes me feel very protective of her. Does our height difference bother me? Not one iota, and I truly do love every tiny bit of her. She's also the only girlfriend I have ever had, so I know no different.

I'm 5'9 and I must say that any woman between 5'3 and my heighth is someone I would like to date. I don't think that I could ever date someone that is taller than me, it just feels odd. Who knows, though? Maybe the love of my life is a 7 foot giant that I haven't found yet? :nailbiting:

True, conventional gender roles and cultural expectations have typically emphasized males being tall, powerful, and in command, while women are expected to be more meek and docile.

So in society it is kind of expected for the man to take charge and be the one in power and in control of their relationships, whether they be romantic relationships or strictly platonic. But the reality is that there are some short men out there lol. Being tall and strong, and able to protect and put food on the table is what is expected of men in our narrow minded society currently, but some women are taller than men, especially when they put heels on.

I know that a lot of shorter men get depressed because women won't date them and things like that, and because they don't feel comfortable dating a woman that is taller than them.

So, men, would you date a woman that was much taller than you. To the women, would you date a man that was much shorter than you? This should be interesting lol.
It is critical to acknowledge that cultural expectations and prejudices about gender roles and physical characteristics exist, but they do not have to determine individual interactions. What really important is meeting someone with comparable beliefs, interests, and an emotional connection.

I am short myself (5'2"), so I've never been faced with the question of whether I would date someone shorter. My husband is actually short for a man. He's 5'8". But we are perfect together! I guess if I really liked someone, it wouldn't matter how tall or short they were.
I think its perfect height

I've always preferred taller men. Something about feeling safe. I'm 5'3 last measurement in December '22. My husband is touching 6 feet. Past relationships, the fella's have been 6 feet to 6'4. I've been asked out by a few shorter men but their height honestly turned my off so it never happened. Lol

Height differences in relationships can sometimes draw attention, but honestly, they don’t define connection or compatibility. What matters more is respect, understanding, and shared values. Many couples thrive regardless of height, love isn’t measured in inches, but in how you support and care for each other.
