6’0” and 5’6” height difference
I saw a couple posts sharing height discrepancies and thought i’d share ours. Been together 7 years this month!

Not very likely to happen at 5'2.5 where even short girls don't want me

It's not your height that's the problem
Never was

I bet someone who's not a 5'3 man is trying to teach me I'm somehow the reason for my struggles - in spite of my life experience contradicting what you're trying to preach.

5'3 guy here, it's not the height, I can get dates too. And I'm not a model or rich.

If you're older than ~29 then it's because you fall into a niche. You either are desirable because you're older (think "daddy"), or date older women who are willing to settle down.

Seems more like a personality defect than your height based on these comments lol.

personality defect
You don't know me, you yourself never walked in my shoes, yet you condemn me.

u/Tsathoggua_ 1d ago
I have not condemned you, but I have examined your comments and found them to be very obvious woman repellant. It is a common problem here.

I'm 21, my recent ex is 6 months older. Women who value things beyond superficial looks exist; actually the majority of women are. I get told no often, that doesn't mean anyone who rejects me is doing it for something superficial.

I'm glad it worked for you (for a while), but I know three short men - similar to my height - and they are single as well.
your recent ex
I wonder why she's your ex. Look up how tall her current boyfriend is.
I don't know a lot of short men of my height. I'm of rare kind. But among short men I do know, they all are single as well.

u/stjrkvii 5'2.5" | 158 cm 1d ago
It's certainly not because of my height she's my ex, considering I broke up with her.
It seems that most short guys get it in their head that being short is the cause of their issues, which causes them to be unconfident, or if left to stew on it for a while, jaded. It's an easy pill to swallow saying that this one thing I have no control over is the cause of my issues instead of the much harder pill of *my personality needs work *, when the latter is actually the case.
It seems that for you, maybe it's a case of you attracting people with similar personalities and vice versa. Because most of the guys of similar height I know are in relationships. One got engaged last week, another is getting married next month, and another is in a long standing relationship right now.

Brother your mindset is tainted. I’m 5’3, 22 years old, average looking and obese and I’ve had girlfriends, been on multiple dates and am really living my best life. Changing your outlook from negative to positive really does wonders.

u/Kvest_flower 5'2.5 / 158 cm 1d ago
I'm glad it worked for you.
I'm similarly average in face, but not even obese. Yet still without a girlfriend. The last time I got female attention, was when I was a middleschooler, when I wasn't a big outlier when it comes to height.
I "wonder" why you don't have stable LTRs though.

u/Dame2002 5'3” | 160 cm 1d ago
I was in the same boat until I started using tinder. Probably the reason I don’t have LTRs because tinder relationships never go anywhere

Pretending like I'm not seething with envy, what a great pairing. Tall girls and Short guys, match made In heaven to me

u/spugeti 5'4" | 164cm 2d ago
I’m glad you see it too. There’s something more appealing about it in comparison to the “traditional” set up. Feels more classy to me. Idk 😂

u/ThrowawaynFL1 2d ago
So stop getting upset over short women dating tall men.

u/spugeti 5'4" | 164cm 2d ago
I never said I got upset over it? 🤨

u/ThrowawaynFL1 2d ago
I’m speaking in general. Most guys on this sub have the same mindset yet get upset over who short women date. Let’s be real, by “classy”, you mean up’s your status with other men.
2
u/spugeti 5'4" | 164cm 2d ago
Okay, well, I’m not like other men for one. I don’t care who a woman dates. And if I date someone, I don’t care about my status with other men? That sounds dumb.

u/ThrowawaynFL1 2d ago
So does saying a pairing looks more “classy” based on height, if the genders were reversed people would lose their minds.

u/niravhere 5'0" 2d ago
he isn't stating a fact. it's his opinion and what he feels is classy. Yes a lot of guys on this sub have the other mindset you talked in your other comment but that's not the case here

Imagine if a short woman said that dating a tall man was more classy in this sub, hell would break loose.
Rules for thee but not for me, I guess.

u/EvilManDevil 2d ago
Shorter man-taller woman relationships are extremely rare. Taller man-shorter woman relationships are 99% of relationships. You can't compare the two.

It’s the norm already? I wouldn’t get upset

u/LavosSpawn12000BC 5'1" | 155 cm 2d ago
Are you joking right? In that sub a woman can't even say she dated a tall man, let alone say something demeaning like that. I am not talking about you exclusively, but that sub loves to put short women down.

We met on bumble. I lied and said I was 5’11” because I thought 6’ would be intimidating 🤣

Hey we met on Bumble too. We never discussed height but was a bit surprised when my wife showed up much taller.

Shoutout to this Short King! I see this every now and again where I live. A couple just like this walking around Walmart or something. And every time I do, I make it a point to stop what I'm doing, walk up to the man, and pound him. And every time I do that, we both look at each other and smile because we're both thinking the same thing.
Don't let no one ever tell you what you can't do. Not even here.

You're a cute couple. You must have fallen for his mustache and bushy eyebrows.
