javyn is | The real reason is that taller = better nutrition. Not on an individual level, but societies/cultures/whatever with a taller average height are just better fed.
Please, short people with good diets, don't come out of the woodwork raising hell over this. We are talking averages and overall here.
I'm short, and really don't worry about it. If a woman is going to turn me down because I'm short, she'll just be missing out on an 8" cock. No problems finding someone as I am now. Confidence means a lot. | | | |

auburndolly is | Do you have any problem dating women alot taller then you, as long as you do not have a problem, some shorter guys have a hangup with this. I am 5-6, I have dated shorter guys, never really took the height thing into account, most the short ones were hung too! | | | |

One of my best friends is 5-4 and is funny when some girls towered over him with heels . Still I would trade several inches of my height with him for his luck with woman . | | | |

My main question is, what things can I do to make up for my short stature? I've given up hope in becoming taller, but I'd like to do something to better my situation.
Another thing I'm interested in knowing is how girls view height. Is taller just sexier, or is the shortness unattractive? How important is it, and what things precede and fall below it on your lists of priorities?
I'm sure this has been done before, but I just went through a pretty rough break up where height was apparently an issue and I could really use the discussion. | I don't think taller is necessarily sexier at all. There are many short men in real life and in the media who are very sexy.
I can see why you say your height is more of a problem than being overweight. It's something fixed, unlike weight which can change. The problem with being a short guy is that your dating pool is limited. A lot of women will not go out with a man shorter than her.
But there are plenty of women out there who are 5' to say 5'5", and will have no problem with a man of your stature. I'm 5'3" and I've dated men 5'5" to 6 feet. I never considered the shorter guys any less masculine than their counterparts.
What you might want to do is compensate for your height by working out. You may be at a stage where you won't get any taller, but you can get muscular which improves self confidence and gives the impression of height and power. There are people who will not consider dating a person because they are too fat, too thin, too muscular, wear too much makeup, have too many tatoos, or a million other reasons, and height is just one of them.
I'm not sure why this woman would have gone out with you obviously knowing your height, only to breakup with you claiming height was a factor. It kind of sounds like a lame excuse; maybe she had another reason. | | | |

HyperHulk is | Umm, Tom Cruise is 5'7 and so are many famous and successful men. My best friend is 5'8 and just got married and has never been lacking in meeting women. He's kind, plays the piano and loves to laugh.
I'm not a woman, but I think it comes down to the person you are. Be a good, funny, engaging, thoughtful, respectful man who loves himself and loves others and women will respond to that. If you were broken up with because your height was an issue, then that person wasn't the right person for you and that's ok, because there are plenty of women in th world and there are plenty who will love you for you. You just don't want to become one of those angry short guys who try to over-compensate in all the bad ways.
The other things you could do, is keep working on your mind and body. Go to the gym and build up the muscles a bit--don't need to be a steroid case, but get a hot body going. And learn as much as you can, learn a foreign language and impress women with that or meet women from that country. Travel around the world and meet a variety of women--keep an open mind about who you date.
The one thing women will pick up that will be a turn off, will not be your height, but how you feel about it. If you hate yourself or your body and have a negative self-image and project that, the women will be turned off. Women are attracted to confidence, not arrogance, but confidence. Believe in yourself--you're not a freak because you're shorter. You've got lots going for you and focus on all the great stuff about yourself.
Do this exercise: get a piece of paper and write down all the things you do well and all the things you really like about yourself. Then in another column make a list of all the things you want to improve yourself that you can do something about (like you said, you can't change your height, so this can't go in this column). Maybe ask your friends and family for their feedback on what they like about you and add that to the list. That's all you've got going for you right now and I bet that list is long. The other list is stuff you can set as goals for yourself to achieve.
Above all else, love yourself. | | | |

| For one thing you could try to put all the time and energy that you are expending and put into being a sweet, thoughtful Man.
Being tall and hung will only get you as far as the first conversation if you are a self centered jerk. | | | |

tonsilwrecker is | as crass as this is going to sound, and i'm not trying to do any type of persuading, but dude... just date asian women. i swear to you most asian women don't get taller than 5'2" (i'm lucky i even grew to 5'4").
My wife is Chinese... I'm lucky, she's 5'4"... Now, when she wears those cowgirl boots or stilletos, I can't keep away from her... | | | |

walla99 is | I agree number one thing is to be yourself. I agree with Ms. Teacher that your ex-gf broke up with you for your height is just an excuse. She knew going into dating you what your height was...
I do think it is true that many women want to date tall or at least taller men. However, like many physical attributes, this is often a preference and if she thinks you are great in other areas, height may not even play into it because she likes you and is attracted to you for other reasons.
For me, I do prefer to date men who are at least a little taller than me, but I am 5'7 and I've dated men from 5'6 to 6'9. Actually, I find I tend to date men who I consider to be on the shorter side (5'8-5'9) not sure why that is exactly except they tend to be the ones that are attracted to me, I'm attracted to them for various reasons and they aren't so cocky. While my tall male relatives tend to date short women. Go figure. | | | |

Mademoiselle Rouge is | I guess i'll stray from the pack and say that I'm a sucker for men over 6'1''. I'm into tall and thin. I can't explain why, but nothing turns my head quicker than that. I've never been much into guys shorter than 5'10'' when i dated. The males i was least attracted to were ones with light colored hair and shorter than what i'd like. This is not to say that they werent attractive in general...I just wasnt as much into them.
Tom cruise has a great face, but he's always been too short for me.
My husband is almost 6'3'' and i'm 5'4'' and a half. | | |

Right. Please PM JustAsking or many of the other people on this site with a rich understanding of evolutionary biology about why this is pure speculation in the guise of evolution, and how culture, not DNA, affect many of our choices. It's most likely that the reason why most women are with men who are taller than they are is that most men are taller than most women. The average height for men is 5'10" and the average for women is 5'4. IFrom CDC data, 80% of men are 5'7" or taller. In women, only 10% are taller than 5'7". So it makes sense that most women end up with taller men because most men are taller than most women. | Thank you!
Much of mass media promotes these "wacky views" of evolution, though. | | |
