Short Men

My fiancé is one inch taller than me and he is the shortest guy I have ever dated. I don't mind the lack of height difference, but it has taken some getting used to. I think sex is more intimate because we are more face-to-face than I have ever been with a partner. The only time our height is an issue is when we are spooning. My torso is longer than his, and his legs are longer than mine, so we don't quite fit right, but we make it work.
 
My Grandfather was called Shorty.

My father was called Foot-log.

Sometimes I get called Little Foot-log.
 
I'm 5 foot 8. That puts me into below average height in my country.

(male average is about 5 foot 11 inches, female average is around 5foot7 - I, believe)

I used to be REALLY insecure about height in school because I had slower starting puberty than other classmates. It was akward.

Basically, I became like the second shortest person in class, including girls (because the girls of course already had puberty, and most guys were strong in their own growth spurt phase, where as I was seemingly mid-puberty, or something)

Buuut, In the end I grew up to be exactly the size as my father, though.

My growth prediction graph predicted me to become 5foot10 (to outgrow my dad), but the graph estimation was proven wrong.
 
In my experience, that woman is the exception that proves the rule.

I happen to know her soul-mate. My friend Richard, who commutes from El Paso, Texas. He is a Buddhist and likes Rush, if she is interested. He is about 5'4" tall. He prefers taller women. His preference is 5'10" but I'm sure he wouldn't kick her out of bed in heels.

I found this out when he was impressed that I had gotten the number of an attractive girl. He says, "Query, she's hot. You think she's taller than you?"

I sez, "Well she's a tall girl, I think she's about my height."

"No, man..." he insisted, "I think she's taller. Come over here, Query's Crush...stand back to back with Query."

She sauntered over on her coltish legs and complied although I then noticed she does this sexy cock of her hips that actually lowers her height without looking like she is slouching.

"No, stand up straight!" Little Richard insisted. "She IS taller than you!" he announced delightedly.

Neither she, nor I was as enthused with the news as he was.

I was pleased with myself though that having grown up painfully short, that my self esteem was high enough not to have even considered her height when making my approach.

If you are short, I find it best NOT to emphasize the point, generally speaking.

I back-handed Richard when she wasn't looking.

Myself, I do seem to attract relatively tall girls sometimes. A couple just under 6'. In stocking feet I am a couple inches shorter than my stated "5'10" in cowboy boots!".

Thanks to online dating, we have very good data showing that women consistently have a stated preference for guys over 6 feet tall. "Tall" is the MOST often expressed desired trait. I find it interesting that those sites don't give men the option of selecting for say, height to inseam ratio, or cup size. "Body type" seems to vary a lot by the accuracy of the girl's mirror.

Have you ever noticed though that the shortest girls and the tallest guys seem to pair off. This frustrates the hell out of a lot of short guys and tall girls. My theory on this like a lot of things is covered by the the fact that humans are herd-driven mammals. Even though those extremes are desirable traits, respectively, humans don't like like to be outliers and seek homogeneity. More's the pity. I think it would be awesome if we ended up with Pygmalions and Amazons from people pairing off according to height.

Heh... one of my best friends is about 5'4" (tallest person in his family is 5'8"), he's constantly trying to find women over 6'. Says that way if they get married... they'll have normal sized kids. I just laugh and say " Whatever junior... keep reaching for that goal."

It worked for G. Gordon Liddy.

In his book "Will" he reports that although he downplayed it during the courtship as it of course is not very romantic, he was initially attracted to Francis for her genetic potential.

He ended up with a Navy SEAL commander and a Marine Colonel for sons. Sadly he also ended up with a lawyer and politician in the family...his middle son just didn't measure up. Although he is tall as well.

You know, of course, that 'prove' here means 'test', not 'verify', right? An exception tests a rule, and if the exception is real, the the rule is invalidated. Just thought I'd mention this for our readers.

That's one way of interpreting the expression, but the actually meaning is that by specifying an exception to a rule, you imply that the rule is in effect at all other times. It's a legal principle. I remember arguing this very thing with my friend Jehoram a while ago, and he pointed me to a web site where this thing is explained:

You have to scroll down to the end to get the final answer on this, but the whole thing is very amusing.
 
I forgot to put in my own take on the question. I'm a fairly short person, and while I find myself attracted to men who are half a foot taller than I am, the ones that are taller than that are not so attractive to me. And I've had some of my best relationships with men who are within an inch or two of me in either direction. One of my best friends is a man an inch or so shorter than I am. But he's like Danny De Vito; he's so self-assured in his height that other men seem grotesquely tall compared to him.

In short, height isn't an issue. It's like saying that while a man might enjoy big-bosomed women as a rule, there is every possibility that a small-bosomed woman may end up being his heart of hearts. Nature's funny that way.
 
i didnt really know where to post this, but i got a question:

are any of you ladies out there turned on by short men?

i know it might sound strange, but this girl i know told me yesterday that she is really turned on by my height... i was like "wtf?!!?", but she said she always had a thing for short guys

i found this really hard to believe since she 5'9 herself and im only 5'5, so therefore i would like to hear what some of you ladies on here think about this?

is she being honest with me? and if not, why would she tell me a thing like this? :confused:

thanks in advance

I love a taller man but it's more about him making me feel safe than the actual height. That said I also love to kneel so in that sense height wouldn't matter. So those two things put together would make height a non thing. If she is telling you that she has a thing for it, believe her. People have things for everything under the sun, why not this?

Yes! And I now suspect that the reason I'm not attracted to men more than a head taller than I am is the intimidation factor. Very large men make me feel very vulnerable, not secure.
 
Everyone pretty much is taller than me - I'm 5ft tall. Very tall men over 6ft tend to cause physical difficulties in terms of height differences.

I hear you about everyone being taller. I'm 5'4". That really reduces the pool of women to date. I always thought I was shorter elsewhere too. Then I realized that height makes my willie look bigger :D.

It's all perspective after all :)
I live in Scotland where the average height is smaller so lots of shorter people of both sexes here.

Wow, I never thought of it this way for me. I don't feel like I have any particular preference for short or tall, well, perhaps not more than 10cm shorter than me - I'm 160cm (5"3). But I do definitely dislike the feeling of being dwarfed by a tall man*, it makes me uncomfortable, and I think it really is intimidation. Thanks for the insight.

* unless he's completely smitten with me, in which case I hold the power and it's fine.
 
I have a very close friend who is less than5'1", his name, in fact is Les. He wears a size six shoe. His hands are 2/3 the size of mine. H1s cock is over 12" long!
 
I'm only 5'2 and tall people intimidate me. I wouldn't want a guy shorer than 5'7, but 5'7-5'9 is my preference. I even have in my profile I prefer shorter guys since they are more apt to have the type of voice I like. They can be shorter for phone partners. So while I don't want a jockey sized guy, a bit shorter than average is just right for me.
 
Height alone don't depends what the man is like as well. My husband is 5'7 and i am taller than him but he is hot as hell! So his height is perfect!
