I have had really bad luck in dating. I've even been told several times I'm to short, Is this being shallow? The women I have been out on dates with have all been shorter or just as tall! I am only 5'5" I know not the tallest but is this all in my head or have I had just bad luck with women that are to shallow?

I have the same problem on dating sites. Women claim to not be that way but from what I have seen they are. Most want tall dark and handsome, well I'm 5'5 and handsome. Most meet me a really like me except those on date sites never even bother to reply or even inquire because of my height and that's even short females. I finally joined a singles group in my area and instead of dating sites I meet people in person and we all go to places together as a group and guess what, they can't figure why I'm single. I ended up meeting not only a non shallow woman but we have been dating now for over 2 years. She is 49 and absolutely beautiful and I am not kidding, she even told me that on dating sites she probably wouldn't have dated me since I live about 20 miles away, I'm 51. We are both the same height and most people think we are married which I enjoy, because we will be soon.

Don't give up and dress up not down and walk proud and be confident, women love confident men. Remember you want a woman to dress up and look good so should men. How many times do you see a nice sexy woman dressed up and the guy with jeans and a t-shirt and baseball cap, NO RESPECT for the woman.

It seems like the girls you are going out with are only interested in appearances. Being 5'5 is not short, I am 5'4 and I wouldn't care if a guy was 5'5. Lots of girls want a certain type of guy and they won't rest until they find it. Keep looking and you will find a girl that won't make your height such a big issue like the girls you have dated. Maybe you are focusing your attention on the wrong group of girls, try going after the girls that are more quiet and sincere, instead of the outgoing shallow girls that only care about appearances. I'm not saying that the quiet, sincere girl is going to be nicer but, I think you just need to broaden your horizons. If you find that girls only look at you for your appearance, then you are looking in the wrong field for a girlfriend. See what happens when you look in different places. A girl should appreciate you for who you are on the inside, and appearance shouldn't matter. If you two connect, then love is in the air, no matter what. Good luck.

The truth is that women tend to date men that are slightly taller than they are and also very tall women almost always date very tall men. This is a fact. Take a look around in a shopping centre at those you can clearly see are couples and you will notice this. Perhaps these women just 'don't feel right' that they are taller than you. Billy Joel married a much taller woman and I'm sure there are many examples of this. Ask yourself if you are attracted to taller women because this may be something to take into account when pondering your 'bad luck' and I would like to wish you good luck.

They're shallow if they are the same height as you or shorter. Have you tried dating a woman who is just a bit taller than you? I've just found that many short woman seem to think a guy should be a foot taller or something than them while average to tall women are willing to date guys a bit shorter.

Don't give up hope because my father-in-law is 5'4" and married. You definitely aren't out-of-luck.

Also, they may be saying this to just give you a reason as to why they no longer want to see you.

This is a hard question because they may have just been trying to think of anything because they just weren't feeling a spark. Personally, as a female, I find most women like taller men because of the historically protective man. With the women shorter than you, well it's probably bad luck. I think your just meeting women in the wrong way. Find another place to pick up deeper women. Try a bookstore, haha. I wish you luck, trust me...we all have our relationship problems.

If you are self-conscious about being short, then you can project that onto others. Then they aren't attracted to you, not because of your height as much as by the fact you don't come across as welcoming.
If I'm right Tom Cruise and Silvester Stallone are both around your height, and neither has that problem.
Just be comfortable with who you are, relax a bit, then I really think your chances will improve.
And if your only after women who are that shallow, then maybe YOU have to set your standards a little higher too.

Hang in there. I dated a guy who was 5'5", one inch shorter than me, and we had a great time together. My husband is my same height exactly, and we work great too. I think you've just had bad luck. There are some women for whom having a guy taller than them is important, and there isn't anything wrong with that, hopefully they are honest about it. Some women, indeed, are just shallow. Ah, well. Some guys are too. You just have to hang in there, be yourself, and keep trying. Good luck to you!

I would say you've only had the misfortune of meeting very shallow women.

Your height doesn't affect you, personally. My husband is shorter than I am, by at least 2 inches. I also outweigh him by about 50-60 pounds. We've also been married for 10 years!

Does he care? Nope! He loves me for who I am and doesn't focus on the exterior sides.

You need to keep this in mind. When you meet the right woman she will see you for who you are - not for your height.

Don't be discouraged - you have to search through the coal before you find the diamond.

Good Luck to you!

I'm around 5'9", and a lot of women do prefer taller guys, I think. But if a girl really likes you, she shouldn't care about your height. There's nothing you can do about it, right? So who cares? I don't like being tall either. But I do think that they were being shallow. Good luck on finding a really nice person!!!!
