Would you date a guy shorter than you?
Is height important for you?
Re: Would you date a guy shorter than you?
I went to prom with a guy my same height and I hated wearing flats!!
no I think same heightish would have been ok, but i prefer a taller guy...... (like dh!)
I wouldn't. I'm 5'8" and I've spent my whole live being self conscious about being taller than a lot of poeple-both men and women. I wouldn't want that feeling in a relationship.
Also, I've never been thin, so dating a guy shorter than me would make me feel huge. I also like to wear heels when I go out.
BF is tall and very broad shouldered. It may sound lame, but he makes me feel small and I like that.

Dulce - DH is 1,95m, so taller than I had perhaps envisaged (I'm a bit over 1,65m) but I really don't mind at all. And I get to feel all little & protected (gag, I know, sorry!) which is nice sometimes.
I prefer a guy to be a bit taller than me at least.
I went to a dance with a guy in high school who was much shorter than me: his face came up to my boobs! He was cute, but I wasn't really attracted to him, too boyish.
I'm not even 5' so I'd definitely have issue with that! DH isn't really tall 5'7 max and I fit right under his chin
but I have dated really tall guys (6'4"+) before DH. I always thought we looked strange together.

Im the same!! im 5'1 and i did date a guy who was 5'3 but he felt like he had more to prove because of his height so would try and get in arguments and fights etc (you know cause that proves how manly he is ....... gag!!)
My husband is 5'9 and i love that!!
DH and I are both 5'6 although I have a few more centimeters on him, we are pretty much the same height, I don't wear a lot of heels so that isn't really a problem.
It hasn't ever been an issue for us and strangely I seemed to have a history of dating men around my height towards the end of my dating history, to be perfectly honest though and DH knows this I would prefer a taller man, DH doesn't have an issue with his height so couldn't care less, he figures if it was such a problem I probably would have done something about it by now.
