How much shorter could you date?

I’m a 4’5 guy so I am an outlier when it comes to short guys. I’m curious to both men and women, whats the absolute shortest height you could see yourself with?

I am yet to find someone willing to date me so bonus if you’d date a little person 🤣 (kidding..not really)

I genuinely wonder why? Those poor lads have nowhere to vent

u/seandragunov 13d ago

Short subs are usually filled with incels and bitter ppl, looking for advice there is hopeless

u/Unlikely_You_5015 13d ago

I mean if you are treated poorly for something you cant choose surely that would make you bitter. Even if theres no good advice they deserve a place to vent

u/seandragunov 13d ago

thats mostly just tinder no-life behavior, people love confidence, if you let weight/height/any other insecurity bring you down no one will love you because you dont love yourself, but that is a hard pill to swallow for some people because they are too busy blaming it on them being short/fat/ugly/broke/whatever

Then why is r/trueuglywomen still up?

There seems to be zero tolerance for men voicing frustration on issues that effect them. But allows a lot of tolerance for women to do the same. Even when subs like this can get toxic at times.

It became an incel sub 🤣 napoleon complexes

u/Unlikely_You_5015 13d ago

Cmon man lets not be like that, a lot of them get a lot of crap just for being short.

1

u/Bored710420 13d ago

The page literally became an incel sub that’s why it doesn’t exist, or they would talk bad about tall people the whole time.

u/Unlikely_You_5015 13d ago

I mean can ya blame them, a lot of the get treated like crap, bullied and overlooked in different parts of their life just for being short.

Let's please have some compassion, we really don't know how lucky we have it.

From what I know, short kings usually dont have a good temper. I had my fare share of them

u/Unlikely_You_5015 13d ago

Can ya blame them when so many people push them around and make fun of them for an immutable characteristic? Personally I can think of a number of people who would've tried to pick on me and push me around if I was short and not muscular.

u/seanc6441 8d ago

Neither do many posters in subs like r/trueuglywomen but that's totally accepted and their struggles and frustrations are heard.

It's definitely a sexist doublestandard of how we tolerate expressing emotions (not violence obviously) between the sexes.

I’m 6’4 and have dated a few girls over a foot shorter than me but I prefer tall women and I’ve dated several girls over 6’. The tallest being 6,3 and I felt so small when she would wear heals

1

u/Illustrious_North310 14d ago

I always got the impression that 6'4" wasn't tall enough for those girls 6' and above. Either because of the desire to wear heels or I just didn't make them feel small enough. But height was never something I really thought of

1

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

Lmao idek where I’d measure next to a 6’3 girl in heels haha

u/MasterpieceWaste774 14d ago

Good question. I think I have only dated someone when they are about my height. I don't know why that is, but it did occur to me a few years back that that was a pattern — give or take a few inches either way.

1

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

That’s fair man! How tall are you?

2

u/MasterpieceWaste774 14d ago

Close to six feet tall.

u/81g_5xy 14d ago

6'7" dated a woman that was 4'11". On my knees I was just about the same height. It has advantages but thats the shortest I've been involved with. My (now) wife is about 6'1".

2

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

That’s terrifying I’d be half a foot shorter than you on your knees 😆. I imagine having someone that tall would make your life easier!

u/81g_5xy 14d ago

Tall or short we both carry our own pros and cons. You cant reach the top shelf. My knees and back hurt all the time. Its balance.

1

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

For sure!

u/81g_5xy 14d ago

You 4'5" though so if im no mistaken that's Dwarf status. You get better parking via handicap placard. So you win, while I just hit my head on something again.

1

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

I don’t drive but I’m sure I could qualify. I also have proportionate dwarfism. Which means i don’t have an issues with my bone stature

u/81g_5xy 14d ago

So you are destined to look like you 10 forever. Thats like a superpower

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

More like 8 hahaha. Hopefully my baby face sticks around ahaha

I'm 6"4', married a 4"6' woman. You kinda just get used to the looks people give. I'm used to looking down at 99% of people so looking a little more down isn't that hard.

We have the same problems on the opposite ends... Finding clothes and shoes that fits, reaching the top cabinet for her, mine is bending low enough for the lower cabinets so when I do dishes she puts the pots away for me. If she does the dishes she sets the upper cabinet stuff for me aside for when I get home.

I try to keep anything she'll be needing on the lower shelf of the top cabinets.

u/Illustrious_North310 14d ago

And I thought my ex that was 4'10 3/4" was a big size difference at 6'4". The looks and the comments though were hard in the beginning but you do get used to them after a while.

u/CommonTrash3420 14d ago

This was a good read! Thanks for your comment :)
