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

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.

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!

I can really hear you feel insecure in how you look and it may come from your own self-critic or another persons critic. You may want to ask yourself where the insecurity is coming from. Are you influenced by how people are presented in the media? Are you influenced by a comment someone in the past or future or present (this guy) directed at you? Are you personally insecure about your own height? You may not be one person's choice but you are another person's choice. Differences in appearance make us all unique. Some people fit into someone's idea of what is conventionally attractive and what is not but keep working on your own self-confidence and eventually you will accept the way you look. We all are entitled to our preferences which are subjective and not objective factors. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong in what represents or fits their idea of attractiveness. You may have many questions you want to ask your love interest and they maybe hesitant to tell you because they want to spare your feelings. Regardless of appearance, personality will always shine through! Everyone is entitled to their own preferences or "types" when looking for significant others and these preferences can change with time or remain consistent. For further support you can communicate with one of our listeners or therapists who have lived experience or specialize in topics such as loneliness. Confidence originates from self-acceptance and you are more than just your looks!

It sounds like this guy is judging you for your physical appearance. Your height is not who you are, and you deserve someone who sees you for more than that! At the end of the day, you can't make people like you, especially if if the reason someone does not want to date you is a physical trait. If he is unable to see past your height and look at the other amazing qualities you may have, it sounds like it is his loss, and you will find someone so much better who loves every single part of you.

If someone really wants you for you they won’t mind it. I know you probably heard this a million times but it’s true. I have dated a tall guy before I would show him off on social media and all of that. But it’s like I was dating him for appearance. My current bf is shorter than me. At first I used to be embarrassed to show him off, but now I realized that all of these things don’t really matter when you’re a grown up. I have learnt to show him off and love him for him. Ofc there is some people hating but I date him for him not for appearance so that’s the difference.

Don't ever feel about yourself for being short, skinny or any other characteristic you might think of. Always love yourself for who you are and how you are. We're all brought to this world for a purpose and no matter how we look, it should not discourage you. Value yourself. There is no such thing as too short to date. You might have been told that by someone but it is not indicative of you as a person. Focus on values, familiarities and connection rather than worrying about the physical so much as a deal breaker. You are who you are. Love yourself and you will soon find someone who loves you. For who you are, not what a number on a measuring tape says!!

Height is something no matter how hard you try, you cannot ever change how tall or how short you are. There isn't much you can do about that to be honest. Someone shouldn't base dating another person on height or looks. You deserve better than that. Your height is perfectly fine the way it is right now. You don't need to change yourself for the acceptance of others. Just be you and that includes just living your life as however tall you may be! You got this and you'll find someone who doesn't care about what height you may be!

Hey, that's not true! You are not "too short". If a guy really cares about you, your height should not matter to him. I think that if it really bothers you a lot than you could wear high heels, but in all reality it should not matter to anyone! I understand the insecurity, as I am also below average in my height, but a true, loving, caring, not superficial guy will love you for what's on the inside, not something as petty as your height, your looks or anything of the sort. He will love you for you and that's what really counts!

Height is something most people have struggled with, especially guys because society has placed a certain standard on them. If you are not this height, people won't find you attractive, but that is absolutely not true! Everyone is beautiful in their own ways, no matter what height you are! Instead of looking ways to fix your height "problem" you should instead find someone that loves you for who you are! If that certain someone truly appreciates you, they will love all parts of you, you as a whole. Don't mind what others say about how you're too short for a guy to date, because. you aren't, there's nothing such as "too" short to date.

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.
