Are you bothered by the height of the man you like? Would you refuse to date a man just because he is shorter or smaller than you?
You won't believe it, most women would answer without thinking that they wouldn't go out with a smaller man because they think they would feel uncomfortable around him.
It's the opposite. How can women say it's wrong for men to judge them by their looks; he doesn't want to be with her because of being overweight and stuff like that? If they do the same? Why should it be okay for a man to be rejected because of his height?
Imagine that you met a great man, you have so many common themes and similar views on the world. He's handsome, they have the same taste in many things - but he's smaller than you, noticeably smaller.
Will the potential development of the relationship be affected by what the man cannot control, the growth determined by genetics?
If it was a tall man with the same features, I'd probably already be having coffee, if not a couple. But he is smaller and you reject him without a word.
Smaller men find it harder to find a woman, but the question is, is biology behind it? Or assumptions that men must be tall, strong, protectors, hunters. Women are smaller and weaker than men.
If women think with their own heads, they will not choose a partner based on appearance, as they are more attracted to his personality and charisma.
Everyone has personal preferences regarding physical appearance, and that's perfectly fine.
But if you're having doubts about dating a man who's shorter than you, it means there's a part of you that you'd like to get to know better. Go on a date and see if there is chemistry between you two. If you really like someone, all these external things become less important.
If the only "disturbing" thing about it is his height, then you have no problem and rather enjoy a happy relationship with him.
Dating a shorter man also requires a certain amount of self-confidence, as a tall woman can feel insecure around him. But if you feel good about your body, you have no problem with it.
It is important to accept yourself as you are! If you feel good in your own skin, then you won't care what your partner looks like, as long as you match in other, much more important things.
