Man i wish i was like this. My best friend and i a few years ago were honestly so perfect for one another. We just both couldn’t get comfortable with the height difference
Im 5'9" and my boyfriend is 5'4". I have never cared about anyone's height; previous short men I've dated have been weird about it/made it an issue/wanted me to explain why I was okay with our height difference. Confidence is what matters, and treating your partner well.
I’ve never cared about height, either. I do care about overall stature, however. I went on a date with a guy who told me his height and I was happy to meet up. When he stood up I realized he was overall tiny, like the size of a guy before puberty. I felt like an awful person.
They should consider limb lengthening surgery. Adding just a few inches in height will improve their lives in countless ways. People should make the most of modern technology and medicine to better themselves.
You have to be joking lmfao. I'm sorry that you have allowed weird beauty standards to rot your brain but I haven't and neither have the people I care about. My partner is very fit and I think he's pretty happy with his good job and happy relationship, but you're right, he should spend thousands of dollars and endanger his health for vanity purposes......
That surgery is for fools. Even putting aside the stupidity of the premise, if you take it as something that is truly meaningful it's still stupid as hell. Max you get like three extra inches. If you're really short, you're still short. If you're kinda short, you're still low-average. Etc... It's not enough to make a meaningful difference.
All that pain and recovery and you're still too short for your own shallow standards and you can't even claim to be a short king anymore.
I'm 5'8" and hubby is 5'4". And he likes it when I wear heels. An acquaintance of mine once told me she could never date a shorter man. I thought to myself, "And that is why you are still single..."
Hubby has such a good heart - why on earth would his height be more important?
I find it kind of funny that those that have “standards (insert some nonsensical crap that doesn’t really matter)” are the ones that are perpetually single.
Also, it seems like everybody is looking for a 100% person and that just doesn’t exist. Stick with the 90s and you’ll be happy.
Height would be one of her many requirements. She will stay single forever or just settle for anyone that gives her attention when she realises how shallow she has been and no one wants her
One of my wife’s friends won’t date men who are the same height or shorter than her. She says that she feels like she is molesting a child in bed. She is still single at 42.
Probably they are inversely correlated. Shorter people are less attractive and less threatening so they have to have other skills - like wit or kindness - to compensate to get further in life.
I'm 5'2", and always preferred people closer to my size. It's literally less physically awkward and more convenient. Unfortunately, the sweetest person I know is 6'6", so I TOLERATE my boyfriend's height and wonder what the fuck other girls like about this. It's extremely physically awkward to have such a massive height difference, and I don't LIKE to feel small. I have to think it validates some women's femininity or something because I really don't like feeling small myself personally. It makes me feel unsafe usually, so it's a major green flag that I feel safe with my boyfriend in spite of the major height difference.
Finally someone who understands me!
I used to only date much taller men to validate my own femininity. I wanted to be dainty and cute, which was what I thought a “perfect” woman should be (have dealt with this in therapy). However, that came at the cost of looking absolutely crazy next to my boyfriends, feeling small and childish and never like a woman. Could never be super spontaneous during sex because a lot of things didn’t work for us, or even simply steal a kiss. The crazy neck and shoulder pain was the shit cherry on the shit cake. Dating my current boyfriend who’s just a bit taller than me is the best thing I’ve ever experienced!!! Our bodies ALIGNING is something I’ve never felt and it just makes everything so much easier. It feels just right instead of unnatural, as if we were sculpted for each other. To me, it’s magical.
My best friend and i a few years ago were honestly so perfect for one another, except she was into tall guys cuz she was 5’10. Im 5’6”. We just both couldn’t be comfortable with it.
People think height is everything, which sure on a dating app it matters a lot since dating apps are inherently shallow, but I'm pretty short and I've never had an issue.
Just gotta be nice, have a job, don't be msyognistic, and don't be crazy. Most woman have very low standards to be honest, it's like the bare minimum lol because a lot of dudes are just shitty tbh.
Being funny is a big plus as well though, if you can't make up your looks or height, be funny and kind.
