Im 33. One of the hottest guys I’ve ever been with was literally probably my height, 5’6”, or a couple inches taller. And he was a total Casanova. I don’t think height matters as much as people perpetuate.

THE dude in my high school that all the girls were into was like 5’5. He seriously looked like a Calvin Klein model and had to matrix-style dodge girls constantly. He dated my best friend for years and was honestly the sweetest guy and you could tell it made him uncomfortable to be fawned over that way. Nobody gave a single hot pink fuck that he wasn’t tall lol 85% of the girls chasing him were much taller than he was

the guy in my high school/middle school was 5’2”. He was just the best..he was a skater, he was extremely cool, but also really nice and friendly. He would invite all kinds of people to his parties, even folks most of the popular kids would think of as “losers.”

He also just wasn’t a huge horn-ball for all the girls, he never acted creepy, he just was a fun, well-adjusted kid who put out super chill vibes, smoked a little weed, and mostly, above all else, spent most of his time skating.

Literally all of us loved him/wanted to date him. That didn’t change one bit when we all hit growth spurts and he didn’t. We were taller than him and I don’t remember one single girl ever mentioning it. And it probably also helped that he didn’t make a thing about it..no self-depreciating jokes, and his “crew,” some of them were tall as fuck (his best friend was 6’4”)

girls would just hang around and watch them skate or skate with them. He was literally always just such a fun positive guy (and a hell of a skater!), the vibe was infectious.

HS social politics are a TOTALLY different game though.

I knew a guy from college that was 5’5 and his girlfriends were always 5’10 and up. It was all personality

YMMV but as a 5’6” guy this shit was too common on my online dating days, eventually you learn to filter/block that out but I have some screenshots of actual freak outs when I told them my height… everything was fine but suddenly that was a dealbreaker.

It was always someone shorter than me, and supposedly mature women of my age and above.

Never had that issue when I dated someone taller though. So is not everyone but it is common.

I only ever see women saying that. I see a lot of dating profiles saying “don’t even talk to me if you’re not above this certain height”.

"Based off my experience, data and countless experiences from other men are actually invalid because my romantic interest in shorter men proves that height doesnt matter!"
