How is it.....?

Question

That i can get called shallow for not dating someone shorter than me (5'9) Its just a preference i have, its like guys who love to date short girls....I just can't date anyone shorter than me...so how can you call me shallow?

Answer 1

You aren't shallow. You know what you like. If that is your preference, no one should put you down for it.

Answer 2

i dont think your shallow for that. I wouldnt date a guy thats shorter than me either.. yea right that looks funny and people even if they call you shallow and talk all the garbage they want , they are going to make fun of you because your BF is shorter than you.. its just the way life is. The man has to be taller cuz then it looks weird.
everyone has their prefence on what they like in the other person. so dont worry about what everyone else says because your the one that is going to date the person not them! so forget it !

Answer 3

I think this is probably a hard-wired preference, and not shallow at all. In many mammals the females are about a third smaller than the males, and it's true for humans. So it would seem to me to be completely normal for a woman to look for a man taller than herself and a man to look for a women smaller than himself.

The accusation comes from a misguided attempt at 'correctness'. Nature isn't 'correct' though, and there will be short men and tall women. But natural preferences shouldn't be judged wrong and following them shouldn't be considered shallow. That kind of judgmentalism is just ignorant.

Answer 4

I don't think it's shallow. It's just a preference, that's all. Honestly you need an initial attraction in order to start a relationship, and if you're honestly not attracted to short guys that's not really your fault. It's more of a chemical thing. So don't listen to people. We all like what we like, and that's it. I'm tall too and I don't feel comfortable walking into a party with a short guy. I've tried it and it just doesn't do it for me.

Answer 5

its not shallow sweetheart, everyone has their own preferences. Just ignore everyone that calls you shallow. Haven't talked to you in a while, hope all is good and send me a message sometime. I haven't been able to jump on with being busy and the big time difference, but I will shoot you a message when i can.

Answer 6

I don't think your shallow - I think you might be missing out on some awesome girls out there. You have preferred type - everyone does - like some guys only dates blonds - butts, redheads, etc.... just remember that how tall a girl is doesn't affect their personality.

Maybe try it once - and see how it goes? Or maybe you already have?

Answer 7

It might be difficult for someone who is not tall to understand. Whoever is telling you this might empathize with the guys for some reason more than others would or if it is the guys telling you this then you're being too blunt about it. They're probably already insecure about their height so maybe fibbing a little as to why you're not wanting to date them would be okay.

Answer 8

you are not shallow. I agree that dating some one shorter than you is uncomfortable. I think it has to do with that whole knight in shining armor. You want to feel that your man can stand up for you when you need it, and not you standing up for him.

Answer 9

hey babe, I'm the same as you....I'm 5'9" and I am totally not attracted to guys shorter than I. In fact, I have never dated a shorter guy, because quite frankly, I don't find them attractive.
