<p>The whole once-you’re-rich thing is pop culture B.S. </p>
<p>Ugly, short guys in North America can make all the money they want, they’re not getting girls.</p>
<p>wutang i disagree</p>
<p>Pretty much every ATP tennis player that I can think of has either a hot girlfriend/wife and many are both ugly and short. Money is more influential than you obviously think.</p>
<p>Rich men (and women thesedays) can get anyone they want for the most part. Blue caller men will come running to ugly rich women also. I’m sure you’ve heard the song C.R.E.A.M by the Wu tang clan. Its true for most people.</p>
<p>I don’t care how tall a woman is. I don’t care what she looks like. If we’re gonna have hot sex, I couldn’t care less…</p>
<p>^^ More cushion for the pushin’?</p>
<p>You’re a rare specimen.</p>
<p>ughh i hate hairy/long-haired guys. shave all that **** plz.</p>
<p>To the OP: why are you so sensitive about your height? You’re what, 5’7" or something? I’m 5’6" and 75%ile in height…so you’re taller than more than 3/4 of the female population. Ok, so you’re probably not going to end up dating a 5’10" supermodel…so what? A girl who’s 5’0" is probably not going to care that you’re not a giant…she might even prefer a guy she can kiss without standing on a chair, haha. </p>
<p>Look, everyone has their shallownesses…some guys like girls with “junk in the trunk,” some prefer rail-thin heroin chic girls. Some girls love the “bodybuilder” types, while I happen to think they look kinda gross. </p>
<p>I think wutangfinancial has a good attitude…shifting his standards away from the “hot blonde white chicks” has produced good results 
Look, for cute-but-not-hot brunette nerdy girls like me, the whole “hot blonde” thing can be just as frustrating as the “tall guy” thing is for you. Maybe focus less on getting tall, hot girls and try to broaden your standards of attractiveness?</p>
<p>and yes, the “height thing” is shallow, but I think everyone has their “type”…mine tend to be tall, slightly-nerdy, slightly-conservative (ironic b/c I’m a flaming liberal) brunette runners. I don’t walk down the street and look at a guy who’s short and blonde and think “nope, I’d never date him.” Those are just the kinds of guys with whom I tend to have “chemistry.” My boyfriend’s previous gfs have all been liberal, politically-active, thin, humanities-major girls with long brown/black hair. (And I’ve found a lot in common with all his exes…haha, figures!)</p>
<p>To directly answer the topic question, I wouldn’t date any guy shorter than me by more than an inch/someone noticeably shorter. I dunno..personal preference.</p>
<p>But height is one of the last things that comes to mind when I think about a guy…I can especially dig guys with an awesome sense of humor and guys who actually care about their futures and schoolwork. Being nerdy isn’t such a bad thing… Also, a hot guy who’s really tall may be the most narrow-minded person, so I wouldn’t like him at all. Physical appearance really isn’t the most important factor…for me, at least.</p>
<p>^^ That’s funny. Most girls say physical appearance isn’t the most important thing, but in reality they will not make an effort to get to know a guy that doesn’t seem physically attractive to her.</p>
<p>I’m a bit self-conscious about my height and do not particularly enjoy towering over people, so I’d (prefer) someone over 6’0.</p>
<p>I’m 5’7" (female)</p>
<p>Shortest I’d go is probably the shortest they come, 5’</p>
<p>haha what a long thread!</p>
<p>I’m a 5’1 female and the shortest I’d date is maybe 5’4, not really a big demand lol. My past boyfriends were about 5’8 and 5’7 though. Personality and intelligence is the biggest factor in the end, not size.</p>
<p>I think a 5 inch diff is probably common, since the avg woman is 5’4 and the avg guy is what, 5’9? Personally I’m not into really tall guys, because I’m short, but of course I would make an exception if I was into his personality. I think guys worry too much about height, no one wants to date an insecure guy! One of the cutest, most confident, witty guys I know is 5’4. Girls love him :)</p>
<p>I almost never meet guys shorter than me (I’m 20 and 5’3") so it’s never been a problem. I sorta dated a guy my height but it was just for a couple days, had nothing to do with his height though. I’ve also dated a guy who was 5’7" or so, and my current boyfriend is like 6’. I don’t think I would have that much of a problem dating a shorter guy, I just never really meet any shorter guys.</p>
<p>I’m a 5’8-5’9 female and I’m currently with a guy who is 5’6. If you’re seriously going to let something as dumb as height get in the way of liking a guy or dating him then you have serious issues.</p>
<p>i’m 5’7 and the shortest height that a guy could have for me to date him is 5’7</p>
<p>I’m 5’4", and I wouldn’t date someone shorter than me. I’m not much for super-tall guys, though.</p>
