I’ve seen people consider even 5’7" as short for some reason so i’m curious if it has happened with someone

    No. I have doubts that it actually happens except in extremely rare instances. I wonder if some women blame a lack of attraction on height because saying other things gets an ever worse reaction?

      Possibly.

      Not particularly tall but have had someone mention liking it. Mainly just kissing up.

      It’s not gonna really matter for someone who is into you.

      I’d guess young women do this kind of thing more frequently than women whose prefrontal cortex is fully developed.

      Some people put expectations on what they want, and then get confused where they can’t find it. Live life with no expectations, and you’re less likely to get disappointed.

    No but then women tend to get a pass for being short. I don’t have much going for me so I feel the shortness lends me a bit of cuteness. I’m fun-sized!

    Everyone is tall compared to me so it’s kinda funny that I ended up with a guy who’s actually tall to everyone else too (6’1).

    Edit: 5’1

    Long, somewhat related story:

    Many moons ago I was at a club and was dying for a smoke, but you had to leave the club and go through two sets of lines and ID checks to get to where I was hanging out on the second floor. Well, they had a giant outdoor balcony, but the area was walled off by a line of plastic chairs. My drunk, fiendin, ass said, “fuck it”, shuffled a chair out of the way, and snuck off to the corner to smoke. Well, what was one or two people who noticed me and did the same, soon turned into a packed balcony.

    Regardless, my little act of rebellion seemed to get the attention of a “tallish” girl in heels who started chatting me up. About 3/4 through my smoke, the bouncers finally catch wind that there’s fifty people on the balcony, and start angrily shuffling people back into the club. At this point, I ask the chick if she wants to dance, and she accepts.

    Kudos to her for lasting as long as she did, but thirty seconds into grinding her ass on my stomach, she gave up trying to dance with me and walked away without a word, never to be seen again.

    I wouldn’t even consider myself short (1.78m, 5’10"), but it was a humbling moment at the time.

                Why? If dude is gender neutral, then you should be comfortable using the phrase “I’d have sex with that dude”.

                  I’d say it’s a expression that does have gender associations, but it’s not offensive or anything to call a woman dude in the right context. If anything it is usually used as a gesture of camaraderie, in this case because a woman has suffered in a way that men can understand.

              Can be agender, can be a gender.

              Fuck dudes, hanging with the dudes, “… Duude…”, “sex with dudes”

              Same with bro or man. Also, progressively, defaults shouldn’t be masculine and people shouldn’t push that narrative.

              Like, “I like having sex with multiple dudes at the same time”, but, also, my gf is not a dude, dude.

              But ALSO to complicate things further, sometimes chicks ARE dudes or bros just because they want to be and that’s okay. And the more you think about that sentence the more your brain will hurt.

              I dunno. Just… Don’t be a dickhead and respect people, and it’s probably fine. “Gotta know the rules before you break the rules.”

    Reading the thread. Most of you guys are not THAT short lol. I actually married my guy who is 5’1". He has a nice smile, funny and smart.

    He has told me unfortunately that he has often been declined often by women due to his height. We have asked our mutual friends who said they won’t date someone who is that short which is unfortunate because they all love him too.

    He’s pretty confident, professional, so people from work finally meet him in person, they are surprised he is not taller.

    I’m a tiny bit shorter than 5’7" and yes, rejected multiple times because of it, but they don’t always tell you why, so some of it is speculation. I’ve dated taller women a few times as well, so it’s not that bad. My wife now is a lot shorter though, but I don’t think height played much a role for us. If I were much taller we may even be incompatible.

      I’m 6’2" and I dated a woman taller than me. That was very odd not having to look down or crouch to hug. lol

      I dated one woman who was so much shorter compared to me our favorite time to kiss was on the stairs.

    I’m 5ft11 and I think I just get rejected for being myself rather than my height 🤷🏼‍♂️

    5’5 and no. It’s usually my outlandishly goofy and immature sense of humor that scares folks off, based on what I’ve been told about it. For context, my favorite podcast is bigsofttitty.png, so…fair enough lol
