I’m 5’4”. I like tall men and have dated shorter men. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked out on a date. Men just don’t approach me, even when I was young and in excellent shape. The men I ended up in a relationship with, I either met through work or in a group setting or I met them through friends. I’m talking about single men. The tallest was 6’6” loved his height. The shortest was 5’8” and his height didn’t matter because he carried himself with confidence..
Married men are a different situation. They didn’t seem intimidated by me. Maybe because their ego didn’t depend on a positive response from me. But then I want a man confident enough in himself to ask me out and be able to face the possibility of rejection. A man able to do that is worth a chance regardless of height.
I don’t agree that short women have it easier. I think it depends on the sense of vulnerability a woman gives off. I don’t exude vulnerability. I crushed that when I was a child because vulnerability in my case brought out the worst in people. I had to protect myself and I learned I could not rely on men to protect me.
