Tall Woman Short Man - What is the tallest you've dated?

I've seen plenty of celebrity couples where the woman is taller, but rarely do I see it in real life on a regular basis. I once dated a woman who was 5'10 for four months. We didn't break up because of height, but because I had to relocate for a higher position at my company and she wasn't willing to move. 

I can't say I've dated mostly taller women, but I have dated a few who were my height.

So how often do you see tall women with short men and how tall was the tallest woman you've dated?

8 Style Tips for Short Men

Here are eight style tips for you to look cool and fashionable:

1. Fit comes first

Wearing baggy clothes make you look short and weak. Only wear clothes that fit your body. You'll look taller and stronger.

2. Being well-dressed makes you more confident

I was nervous that people would think I'm too young and wouldn't take me seriously. And I found out that my age wasn't the problem; the problem was my clothes. Wearing a white T-shirt, light blue jeans and Converse sneakers made me look like a college kid.

Being the most well-dressed person in the room makes you more confident. People will take you more seriously and see you as a professional.

3. Wear medium rise pants

Unless you're Jeremy Lin, low-rise pants make your legs look shorter. I bet you don't want to look like a Minion... or Hobbit.

Wear medium or even high rise pants so your body will look more well-balanced.

4. You can look smart... without a tie

Wearing tie is a torture... especially in summer. Got a casual networking events at the bar? Throw away your tie. Put on your dark tee, sports jacket and dark jeans. You'll look smart and feel comfortable.

5. Don't forget the shoes

Your clothes are how you present yourself: be professional. Wearing Adidas sports shoes makes you look boring and forgettable.

Wearing high-quality shoes makes you memorable. I have eight pairs of shoes from Dr. Martins, Clarks and Timberland. Choose your favorite brand and go for the best shoes.

6. Fill your pocket with squares

Have you seen Hollywood movie stars putting a handkerchief-like cloth on their jacket pocket? That's a pocket square.

Wearing a pocket square helps you stand out. Time to be a movie star, and deliver your message effectively and confidently.

7. Know your color tone

I'm not talking about skin color. I'm talking about what colors match you.

There are two color tones: warm and cool. To know your color tone, ask yourself:

Do you burn easily in the sun? If yes, your color tone is cool.

Do you look better in silver, comparing with gold? If yes, your color tone is cool (And yes, I like silver... it suits me well.)

By knowing your color tone, you can choose colors that match you. For example, cool color tone matches with blue and warm color tone matches with orange.

8. Quality, quality, quality

Wearing clothes are like making friends... quality matters more than quantity. It's better to have three great outfits than 30 bad outfits. Choose your clothes wisely.

I wanted to share this because I feel like it is something a lot of men, including me, struggle with. I got this from Huffington Post.

Woman with longest legs in America won't date shorter men..

"Burt, 20, who currently lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, refuses to date anyone shorter than 6-foot-3, but says she has a lot of options.

“Fortunately, New York is full of tall, hot men,” she said. “Guys will come up to me a lot and say things like, ‘Your legs are gorgeous’ or ‘You should be a model.’ ”"

I was going to get mad going into this article, but to be fair, Holly Burt is 6'3 which is VERY tall for a woman and being this tall, I can't blame her for not wanting to date men under 5'9 though she did say that she wants to be with someone her height or taller. To her, most men are short I guess since the male average height in American is 5'9/5'10.

Would you date her if she dated any height?

This player...

So I got introduced to this guy through a friend. He is 5'5, and I kid you not, dates nothing but drop dead beautiful women. I asked him how the heck does he do this? He is a good looking guy, thick full head of hair, tan, buff, tats on his arms.. So he has that going for him. He told me that it is all how you carry yourself. You can be a butt ugly dude and swing babes if you have the right mind set. And then he showed me a picture of his over-weight, balding friend who got married last year. He is about 5'7 and married an ex model who is 5'9. Go figure! Thought this was worth sharing.

A post from BBForums

"I was out shopping today, and I saw one of the saddest things ever. There was a short guy with his girlfriend, they were both approximately 5"6" inches tall. The guy was perfectly good looking, he was 'handsome' in every way, he looked like a young Pierce Brosnan, but he was just quite short. He was the kind of guy you would expect to see with a goodlooking girlfriend, but this was not the case. His girlfriend was butt ugly. I don't even mean just bad looking, she was repulsive to look at. She was at least 300lbs of pure lard. I felt sick just looking at her.
I felt really sorry for the guy because he has been screwed over by genetics, and because of this he has to settle for someone far less attractive than him. He got everything else right in terms of looks, but it seemed like his height had pushed him way down into the bottom league."

What are your thoughts on this?

Tips for women dating a shorter man.

Morning!

Looking for a bit of (silly) advice. I just started dating a guy 4 inches shorter than me and I haven't quite mastered the hugging part. I just don't want to make him feel awkward. Should my arms go over the shoulders or try to get under his arms? Usually guys I've dated are my height or taller and my arms end up around my partner's waist...

I feel silly asking - but too awkward at this early stage to ask him directly.

So.... what's the general preference?

Why don't we start a Facebook page?

You know, to fight against height discrimination? I think it would be something were doing. I don't now how to set one of them up or I would do it myself. What do you all think?

The Sad Truth.

You know what's funny about knowing what a girl REALLY wants.  You'll see posts/pictures/quotes etc. stating the guy has to have:

A. A sense of humor.

B. Take care of himself, along with his girl. 

And... you guessed it, C FOR CONFIDENCE!!! YAY. 

C. Confidence.

 

But you know what guys?  It's all bullshit.

Girls want height.  That's all they want, that's all they really care about.

Lets be real here guys, you see that cute girl, absolutely adorable, dating a 5'10+ fuck-up who has no sustainability and disrespects his girl. 

A dude can have all the 'caring' and 'stability' traits as well as having high aspirations, yet if he has no height, then it's still a 'no' for the girl.

I'm sorry guys.  I know I'm making generalization here, but this applies to 95% to girls and to short men.

That's it, I'm done with girls.  And no, I'm not 'turning' gay.

Some proof not all women hate us

Go to the post and view the comments. No, there isn't a lot but it goes to show even women who do prefer taller men will date short men. Also, height isn't everything to all of them. Stuff like this makes me feel better because I swear, I get shot down by women who go for tall men more than anything.

"Poor Me"

I think it is pathetic when I see men having pity parties or crying online. They try to make a point and just don't make any sense. Part of the reason shorter men have it harder with women is because CONFIDENCE TURNS WOMEN ON! Why do you think women stay in bad relationships with cocky jerks? They are confident! There is no science to this people. Short or not, you need to man up, accept your flaws, and take a long damn look in the mirror. Looks don't get and keep women, confidence does.

This is really irking me.

You know, all this say that the short man makes minimal financial gain compared to the taller man really provokes me.  So, I wanted to ask:  What are career do you have?  or  What are you pursuing?

Is it fair to assume...

Is it fair to assume all bigger or fat women are lazy and unhealthy? I don't think it is. So why is it okay to assume all short men are depressed and desperate?

This is a good start for justice.

Woman, Blacks, LGBT, religion, Little People, etc. have already got a noticeable social justice.  Who's next? Maybe it could be us, along with taller women, whom are also deemed 'unattractive'.  I firmly believe we should be next on the cycle. I believe we should have justice.  A good start would be proposing new legislations that persecute 'heightist' ideals.  Namely, giving the ability for short men to participate more in media, such as modeling, leading roles in movies and shows, etc. i.e. more opportunities for us, as well as a better outlook.  Nonetheless, true that heightism may be an 'illusion'; however, it certainly takes role in 'love'.  The media poisoned the views of 'girls', making them judge us based on a characteristic that we cannot change; hence, we are deprived of affection, a feeling and a notion that ALL well-minded humans deserve.
