I'm too short for a guy to date. What can I do?

The kind of partner you want isn't one who cares about your height. There are plenty of endearing qualities much more important to women than any physical trait. Kindness, humor, empathy, can you cook? Do you listen to her and support her. Your height has almost nothing to do with your capacity to love or to be a great lover.

I'm sure not every guy is looking for a tall girl. Everyone has their preferences, I say to be comfortable in your own skin and wait for your soulmate :)

If anyone tells you that you're too short for them to date, that is one less person out of the billions out there who are just waiting to see your potential. Just because you're physically smaller in stature compared to others doesn't mean you don't have a super awesome personality attached

Nobody is too short to date. There are all sorts of people out there that are looking for different things, including personality, so looks aren't necessarily important

Height doesn't affect relationships. Your personality might and I'm not going to lie because of course appearance matters but in that sense it's more a general upkeep of one's self. Which is possible unlike height so perk up and increase your height by holding your chin up and take on the dating world.

There are definitely people out there who like short people, and there will definitely be a guy out there who likes your height!

What you can do is slap that !#$er and find someone that appreciates you for who you are. I prefer shorter girls. I am sure you can find such a person too!| p.s. You're too short? Really? The only problem you have is "You're awesome, the problem is that there is not enough of you" ?? *high five*

You can make friends, and have fun with hobbies and social things. "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Hopefully you will realize that some people will like and date you based on who you are, not your height. Have faith that some people can look beyond height for romantic/sexual/friendship appeal. Besides, if you're having fun, doing interesting stuff, and being an excellent friend to those around you, then people will be more likely to be attracted to you. Or, if you think someone will reject you for your height, deliberately laugh and have lots of fun near them so they see what they're missing out on.

There's no such thing as too short for someone to date! If you're outside of someone's height preference, that's on them. Find someone who will love you (and your stature!) 200%, and you'll be a happier person for it. But firstly, and most importantly, if your height is an insecurity, work on that first. Learn to love yourself. Become confident and happy about your body and the things that you cannot change. A small mental exercise that really helps with this is giving yourself positive compliments in your head. It may feel silly at first, but changing your self-talk from negative to positive pep-talk will improve your self confidence. Take the time to compliment yourself daily, and watch your life slowly transform.

Height is one of those traits that people tend to obsess over when it's about themselves, but many people do not even see height as an attraction factor! When seeking out a partner, height is a small and trivial aspect, there is much more to focus on. Don't stress about it, the right person will find you perfect exactly the height you are! For now, focus on becoming the best you that you can be personality wise. Traits like kindness, compassion, sense of humor, and selflessness are much more important in the context of relationships than trivial physical aspects such as heights.

no its not like that. its your opinion . love and relationship take place from heart not from physical appearance , and if they are from physical appearance then the relationship is not real or true. So if you want a relationship you just have to be a pure soul and good from heart which i know you are . now you just have to wait a little for that perfect guy who deserves you,who love your soul no matter how you look. So keep calm your prince charming is on his way just wait a little you are gonna find him soon. till then all the best. :)

Is that his opinion or yours? If he has stated quite clearly that you're too short for him, then the answer is there; it's not going to happen. In some ways as harsh as that is, it's easier to deal with because it's not something you can change. You can't make yourself taller and nor should you (if it were possible). Of course getting over the guy and moving on is all subjective to how you deal with those emotions and your relationship to the guy to begin with. But, if you just FEEL too short for him to date. That your height reflects your worth and desirability then maybe question that? Why does it? Shouldn't what makes you, you, be your choices. Your actions. Not things that can't change and that really, fundamentally mean nothing... Though that's an outsider's perspective. For you it could be really defining. I guess if it is your insecurity playing up, rather than his preferences could you discuss that with him? Being that vulnerable can be daunting but with it comes at least closure.

Remember that you are you. There are many people out there who are attracted to many different things, and someone out there will see you for you. Attraction is arbitrary for everyone will see the world differently. Some people will be attracted to short people, and some people prefer tall people. Besides be confident in who you are for even short men like Peter Dinklage can date and even get married. Date someone who will appreciate you for who you are. More importantly, appreciate yourself and know that even though others may not see it-YOU are valuable.

There is no such thing as 'too short'. You will find someone who won't care about your height. If you like a guy, do you fall in love with their height? No? Well, guys don't look at a girl either and think 'hmm, she's so pretty and has a nice personality but I can't fall in love with her cause she's too short.' Most guys like short girls, they think they're cute. The right person will love you for who you are. If it makes you feel more comfortable though, you could always wear heels or try other ways that make you seem taller. Flared pants, for example, make your legs look taller, just make sure they don't drag across the floor as that will make you seem shorter. Highwaisted clothes might help as well, like highwaisted jeans, skirts, dresses etc. Please remember that it's okay to wear these things to make you feel more sure of yourself but do not just wear this because you think people will like you better if you look taller, don't change for anyone. They'll like you for who you are.

Just like anyone else you deserve love, compassion, and kindness regardless of your height or not. There are many several billions of people on the earth and if you want to have a relationship. Then the girl/guy should love you for who you are and not the height or lack thereof that you possess. I understand that it can be frustrating to be judged off of something that can seem shallow but in this case I think that patience is absolute key. In the meantime, do things that you enjoy like sports, music, video games or cooking and maybe you can meet someone who shares your interests :).

Ever heard of confirmation bias? When we believe something about ourselves, such as an insecurity, we tend to interact with people who confirm that. Your relationships are a mirror. You attract what you reflect. It is simply a matter of perspective. Age, height, etc. All numbers. If you know in your heart what you have to offer, your height will not matter unless you make it matter. Trust yourself in your ability to form a connection. Your beliefs might be limiting you, not your perceived short height. What you see as a problem, another person might see as a strength. Also, do you know BTS? They are criticized for wearing makeup and doing their hair all fancy. They are guys who have taken over the world. However, Toxic Masculinity in this world is a thing. Just because they are short, wear makeup, does not make them less masculine, but the perception of how a man should look and behave is toxic. You can take on the world like they did. You just need to believe in your ability to :). Good luck!

My opinion is that being short should not be a practical reason not do date someone as that has nothing to do with your personality which is mostly what makes a good relationship work. Therefore anyone that won't date you just because of you height is not the best person for you to form a connection with as they seem only to be interested in your looks. I don't think you need to do anything except show him how great you are and be confident in yourself and your own looks, you are fabulous in your own way and being short is part of who you are.

i understand that you feel insecure about your height, but let me tell you, i know a lot of guys who are shorter than their girlfriends and they are doing very well as couples, it's never about height, weight or any physical component if you love and value your self, be sure that everyone will do the same to you, we are more than just bodies, stay confident and trust yourself, and if someone really loves it's because of who you are, not because you're tall or because you have abs whataver, i'm sure you will find that one, stay positive

Have you tried wearing high heels? Also, it's important to remember that there is someone out there who likes you for who you are (including your height). Though it may seem like a big factor now, many guys don't care and if they do, they aren't the guy for you! Also, many guys like someone who is short, so there isn't too much to worry about! I understand that this may be an insecurity of yours, but please try to remember that you're perfect just the way you are and, as previously mentioned, there is someone out there who will love your height :)

Just be yourself! Any guy would be lucky to have someone who loves them in their life. They shouldnt base you off of your height. The only thing that truly matters is your heart. If they think "youre too short to date" well guess what? They are missing out. Just do you boo! If you want to feel taller you can always wear heels to feel taller, your height shouldnt matter, just your heart. I hope you find someone who can truly understand this. Keep doing you in all that you do.

I believe that height or other physical characteristics are "invisible" barriers that people put too much focus on especially in the world of dating. In this interconnected world, the one limiting factor that you consider is your height? I believe you have much to show for and you should use your height to your advantage! Honestly, the dating scene nowadays can be quite overwhelming with all these quirks and supposed "rules". It really takes the fun away out of getting to know the person. In addition to this, you have to consider that maybe the other person is more worried about what YOU think of him compared to your height! So you know what, just go for it. If there is an attraction, you will surely find out! Have fun and stay safe!

I don't think your height matters in making you less or more attractive, the right person will like you for who you are. Be confident, there is only one of you! Often, how you treat yourself sets an example for others on how to treat you. If you work on loving and appreciating yourself, others will also see you in that light. You deserve to be seen for who you are (not just your height)! I hope you are able to find confidence within yourself and cherish yourself and your body. When the right person comes along, your height will be the least of their worries.

If he loves you truly then height and everything would be overlooked 😏 because it's true love. True love overlooks all the other things and that is all that matters. I think height, religion, and everything humans use to label and divide themselves is useless because love as an emotion and feeling doesn't care about that. No matter what type of love it is like love for a sweetheart, friend, family, etc is absolutely real and nothing can divide it. That's what I believe. True love can go the distance and so if a guy really loves you for who you are then he won't even notice your height. That's all I can say 🙂

I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated and discouraged about your height. I can assure you, there is no such thing as being "too short" for anyone to date. There's a whole sub-industry built off of people who are attracted to shorter people... I know at times it can feel like most of the dating pool is out of reach, but I whole-heartedly believe there is someone for everyone. Growing up, I mistakenly passed judgment on a handful of people whom I thought would be "forever-alone" (internally, I never verbalized the thoughts to anyone), and today, they are all happily married. These were people I thought would never date, let alone settle down and build a family. Here I stand, 15+ years later, and their relationships are stronger and more fulfilling than my own. Some of these people (yes there's a handful) were shorter of stature (I believe one girl was like 4'10", maybe? one had severe scoliosis, the list goes on...). They were happily married way before me. The simple truth is that this mindset, though it may feel it at times, just isn't true. Real, enduring love is independent of superficial, physical traits. Youth fades. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your particular difficulty with locating a quality person with which to share your time and life may have a more simple solution than you expect. Try to keep a positive mindset, embrace your uniqueness, and above all else, love yourself first. Maybe your first step is opening up your options, even if only geographically. Keep your head up! As the saying goes, "There are plenty of fish".

A good relationship isn't necesarily based on physical compatibility. There are other compatibility that more important. Emotional, intellectual and behavior compatibility are more important in the long run. Learn to understand, accept and love ourselves as who we are before asking anyone else to love us as we are. Next, common views or common things. We will feel more connected to people with whom we have things in common. We may have to adjust a bit, as long as not something principal. That brings us to boundaries. Know our boundaries. Where's our lines and which ones are thick lines and which are thin ones. A big no means no. We are not define by our height. Neither should our relationship.

I'd begin by letting you know that you are perfect just the way you are. Being "too short" as you put it doesn't make you undesirable or unattractive. It's alright, how concerned you feel about your height but what you can do is to work more on you and your self love. Your height in itself is a gift and whoever doesn't see that or acknowledge it is on the meant for you. Slay that height sis! Being too short doesn't make you "not enough" or "unworth" of love or a date. In the right time the right one will come along and I bet he won't be that shallow to mistreat you based on your beautiful self and height

Are you really too short, or do you feel too short? The feeling is valid but I bet it's not how others feel. I think we all feel like we don't measure up in certain ways. I think that my nose is too big, my hips too wide, that I'm funny and cute but not beautiful and on and on. It's helpful for me to realize that while this is how I feel, no one else is telling me this or if they do, they are really in the minority. I also think who am I to tell someone I am too short etc? Isn't it their decision? I also try to reframe it. I'm a pocket rocket. I'm tiny but mighty etc. Make it a positive and a reason I like myself versus a fault. My nose is big because my granddad's is and it reminds me of him and that's a super cool thing. Ultimately I try to refocus externally vs. internally.

I’m short as well. I am 4ft 9in and most guys do not like me because I am short. I go for the tall guys because they are there to protect me and they will love you no matter how short you are. If I was you I would just go for a guy and see what they think. No matter what the other guys think about you. You matter to the world and I see that. I get made fun of because of my height and my weight so I understand completely how you feel. I hate the fact that boys just want girls that are tall and not short

There's no such thing as too short for a guy to date. Without going into too much detail, I personally know someone who is with somebody that is over a foot in height difference. Even then I'm sure there are people who have even larger height differences in their relationship. At the end of the day, and it is easier said than done, you need to find somebody who will like you for you. Somebody who legitimately wants to be with you in a relationship won't care how tall you are. Even if past guys have made it seem like your height is a big deal, there will always be someone out there who won't mind.

Sometimes it can feel like our physical attributes hold us back in dating, or in life in general, but it's important to keep things in perspective, too. The world is full of many different people, all with different wants, hopes, dreams, and desires. We cannot purport to know all of the desires of entire categories of people we might want to date. Some people find shortness endearing. Some people even look for that in a partner! Therefore, saying you are "too short" is perhaps less a reflection of what other people want and more of a reflection of what you might think other people want. Remember to keep an open mind and not close doors for yourself before they have opened. Nurture your self esteem and try to recognize that you are worth it, as you are, just by nature of your being. Furthermore, the fact that you concern yourself with what others think means that you are considerate, and you care about the thoughts of others. Those are fantastic traits in a partner, so, try to not be so hard on yourself. If you still want to try to alter your appearance, you might consider putting lifts in your shoes or wearing a slight heel, however, if you choose to do these things, do them for you and not to please, or appeal to, anyone else. You are enough as you are.
