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
