Do any women EVER like short guys around their height? I'm going through a really shitty time right now, no one ever seems to have any interest in me. I just recently started trying online dating and it seems like every single woman on there wants a tall guy. Even women who are 5'0" want men that are 6'0"+ and whatnot. I'm only 5'7" and I'm starting to feel really down about it because I'm 19 and I think I'm done growing..
Do any women ever want a man around their height? I usually find I'm more attracted to women around my height, instead of women who are substantially shorter than me, but I guess that's not the case with women. Someone cheer me up =/

Yes, many women like short guys. Many of us look for nice guys, and aren't too concerned with how tall they are. My husband, who was the love of my life, was about 5'5", only a couple of inches taller than me. Your height will mean less and less as you get older. Cheer up. You will find many people who will like you for you.

Dude don't worry about that so much! I am also 19 and have not EVER dated anyone before. Never had a first kiss, or gone out with someone (except once on a blind date which did not go very well). The point is that there are plenty of women that are you height and don't want a really tall guy.
As for me, I am 6'2" and I would care because it would be so wierd if a guy was way shorter then me. I would not mind if he was no more then 2 inches shorter but anything more then that would make me feel wierd. I know how you feel about not dating anyone yet. I feel the same way. Like I will never find anyone. But life will guide you and you will find the right girl in this world.

Women on dating sites don't actually know what they want. The ones who write these things are harboring these crazy ideals shoved down their throats by the media. Would you actually want to go out with a girl who was shallow enough that she wouldn't consider going out with a guy who was under 6'0"? Listen; you aren't a short guy. But even if you were shorter, it really doesn't matter. I'm sorry it seems like no one has any interest in you right now. I've been with a guy who was 5"4' while I was 5"6'. Just be patient, you'll find someone who deserves you at some point. Don't get insecure about your height, quite frankly that's unattractive. Just appreciate yourself, because I'm sure you're a great guy!

Don't worry about it, plenty of women like guys who are their same height or even shorter. I am 5 '10 and three quarters (nearly five eleven). My fiancee is infact a little shorter than 5'10. So when i wear heels i am like three inches taller than he is. I don't mind it. I always thought i would have to marry a guy at least 6 ft., but i discovered height has nothing to do with anything. A family i used to nanny for that i really admired and respected, the wife was at least two inches taller than her husband and she used to be a model. They have three beautiful girls and they are the happiest couple i've ever met. You will get the girl of your dreams, not with being tall but with confidence. I honestly have seen more happy marriages between couples who are the same height or the female taller, than i have seen amongst those really pathetically short girls married to 7 ft monsters. I've discovered that the tall guys for the most part (not all) have a serious lack of character and hardly any confidence to speak of. So take heart and know that you will find a very smart beautiful talented girl who adores you regardless of how tall or short you are, as long as you treat her with respect and honour, and allow your own inner beauty and confidence and happiness in who you are (not arrogance) show and shine for all to see.

Height is a big factor, but even more important are looks, personality, and money.
I'll put 'em in order here. I'm not a woman but it's obvious what they want:
Personality
Money
Looks
Height
Looks can override all of those, but you have to be like without-a-doubt good-looking, and guys don't often fall under that category because they're hairy and have B.O.
...a guy with average looks will get nowhere without personality. If he doesn't have it, she gets creeped out.
A guy with extraordinary looks can outdo money and a lack of personality, but like I said that has to be extraordinary.
Just think about it. Oftentimes a girl will go out with a group of her female friends to Applebee's or somewhere, and get a cellphone call, go to the front, and bring her bf hand-in-hand to introduce to her friends... She is gonna want a guy that she can show off, and if he lacks height and presence that just won't do. I should know. I helped a girl out financially almost to the point of bankruptcy, and pursued her to no end, but I'm not much in the looks department so she didn't want me at all even after all that.

Sweet heart- I LUV short guys!! Power to ya! Its not ur fault that ur short, so don't feel bad about it. Don't beat urself up about something that you can't control. Cheer up-there is someone out there for everyone!
By the way~If girls want someone taller than them, but you are short, just go for a girl shorter than you-doesn't have to be mountains shorter, but an inch or two maybe. I know lots of tiny girls (not midgets) and im sure there are plenty of them in the world, so just put your self out there and go find them! Don't feel bad about ur height-sereously. Trust me, you will find the right person. . . just give it time.

For what it's worth...
I was in the post office the other day, waiting in line behind a guy. I noticed he had nice hair and a nice build, so I thought he was attractive. Then I noticed he wasn't much taller than me, but I said to myself, who cares, he's a nice looking guy.
I've only ever dated guys taller than me, which isn't hard because I'm only five feet tall. The shortest guy I've been out with was 5'7"...so we women who date guys under 6'0" are out there!

I am 5ft. My husband is 5'8. He is just perfect for me.
My husband's cousin is about my height, maybe an inch or two taller and his ex wife was about 5'9. So there are tall women who like short guys and he is really short!!! I think its all in your attitude! He is single now and never without a girl friend!

in my opinion 5'7" is like perfect. and im 5'6'' so its not like im a short girl either. dont worry about height so much. if you have a great personality show that off and dont worry about if they wished you were taller. besides if you think about it women are insane for wanting someone so much taller then them. its killer on your neck to constantly have to look up at them and dancing when your head doesn't reach the guys shoulder is annoying. and dont even get me started on kissing. so believe me you'll find girls that like you for more then just your height. just got to be patient.
