10 Big Reasons To Date Short Dudes

I was deeply disappointed by the latest poll at Don Q’s Lady Data. According to Don Q’s secret lady spies, 85 percent of women want to date a guy that’s taller than them and 0 percent want to date a guy shorter than them. What? That’s crazy! No love for the shorties? For all of you shorty-hating ladies out there, I think the 8’1” Sultan of Turkey is still single. I’m sure you’ll find him drop-dead sexy holding that 1,435 pound gingerbread cookie he presented to the Guinness Book of World Records in Norway yesterday.
Here at The Frisky we like all shapes and sizes of gingerbread cookies … er … men. Whether you’re super short or freakishly tall, we don’t discriminate. And in case you needed any extra incentive to go out with that hot, vertically economical guy, here are 10 reasons why you won’t be disappointed.
- He’s the cute, smart, funny guy in the room that other women aren’t lining up to talk to.
- You’ll never have to stand on your tippy toes to kiss him.
- He’ll go the extra mile in other areas (ahem … the bedroom) to compensate for his height.
- A smaller frame makes for a bigger-looking wang.
- If he’s overcome any Napoleonic tendencies and made peace with his height, he’s one of the most confident, secure men around.
- When you talk at a loud bar, you can actually hear what he’s saying, since his mouth is closer to your ear.
- Sex standing up will be a breeze.
- You’ll never have to wear uncomfortable heels again. Break out the flats!
- Since he’s not a part of what’s considered “traditionally attractive” he’s more accepting of others’ flaws.
- Because anyone of any height can be an amazing person who treats you the way you deserve to be treated.

I wouldn't rule out dating a short guy. It's almost happened before, but other stuff got in the way.

Most relationships have been with guys my height plus or minus an inch or two. So long as they don't mind when I wear heels, which isn't often, and can make me laugh like no tomorrow, it's all good.

What are we considering "short" here? Because my boyfriend is definitely not tall, but I don't think he's short either. 5'9" seems an "average" height perhaps. But when I'm nearly 6 ft. it feels "short" to me.

Being 5' tall, I've never had to confront the issue of dating a shorter dude. Even short guys are taller than me. It's kind of awesome. I do prefer someone at least 5'' taller than me because I like to wear heels sometimes, but that's still only 5'5'' so I think I'm safe.

As 6ft girl, #7 not always so true... If the difference between you is a lot he may need to use those tippy toes.

If we're attracted to each other, height isn't a huge concern, but I'm a 6ft tall girl too, and I don't get a lot of interest from the shorter guys. And I'm the least intimidating person around.

Yeah I'm 5'10 and I find its usually the guys who are intimidated by MY height. I think you would find just as many guys, if not more, want a girl shorter than them...

I'm a guy, and I'm just at 5 feet tall...short family plus I was born a month early. This obviously is an uncomfortable subject with me b/c it's very discouraging when females around my height still insist on dating guys who are at least near the 6 foot mark. I'm intelligent, generous, genuine with a big heart, have a great sense of humor, and I'm not bad looking if I do say so myself. But I really am too intimidated to branch out there. I really only use internet sites b/c I wouldn't know where to start "in the real world," but I wonder how unnoticed my profile goes b/c so many females use the Height range in order to search profiles.And sorry, but when I hear guys who are 5'8, 5'9 talk about being "too short," I can only roll my eyes. Maybe I should give them a swift uppercut to the knee.

@zap - just be yourself man. cliche, but true. girls are less interested in whether you can ride the rollercoaster with them than whether you strut around like you have brass watermelons between your legs. confidence scores.

...save money on laundry detergent...chances of sharing your clothes are higher (at least for me...my ex use to wear my underwear too. he said it help his balls in really good)...when you share an umbrella, it really can work...you can check each other for lice standing up...do I even need to go on after that last reason?

I definitely wouldn't rule out dating someone shorter than me, and I've found many shorter guys attractive, but I'm generally more attracted to people taller than me. I'm about 5'9", and most of my boyfriends have been around my height or just a little shorter, but I love it when they're at least a few inches taller than me.I wouldn't let height stand in the way. I mean, James McAvoy is a couple inches shorter than me, and when we get married, the height difference won't matter at all to me!

I seem to always like boys who are about my height or slightly shorter...never bothered me, or them that I'm aware of.

@MuchoMacho - Well said! I'm 6', and I have found that the shorter guys aren't lacking inches, just confidence. Confidence is hot no matter how long the inseam of your jeans may be. :)

I'm 5'4", so if I want to date a guy smaller than me, I'm going to have to hook up with one of the dudes on "Little People, Big World." Sigh....

Most of the list seems pretty silly, to be honest.1.) That's not really a point in favor of dating short guys, so much as "cute, funny" guys. And most women I know are less likely to want a guy that other women don't.3.) This sounds like wishful thinking to me. I mean, I don't sleep with guys, so what do I know? I have yet to see any meaningful correlation though.4.) Who cares about a bigger LOOKING wang? Not even a bigger wang, but a bigger LOOKING one? Unless you're planning on filming a pornographic movie, this has to be extremely low on the list.7.) Not necessarily true.8.) Nobody ever "has" to wear heels. I'd argue that losing the ability to wear heels (if you for some reason think your heights have to conform to a certain pattern) is a bigger loss.9.) I'm pretty sure short people can be considered conventionally attractive. Otherwise, who would act in movies?

I dated a short guy. While I was totally into him, he was so hung up on the fact that I was two inches taller than him. It's amazing how people's insecurities will limit their potential....
