I'm a short guy (about 5'5") I don't think I am ugly nor am I conceited. I guess I consider myself average. I'm just wondering how women feel about shorter guys. I'm just trying to get an idea of how much my height plays a role in if someone would even consider me.

Statistics show that women prefer taller men, over shorter men. 5'9" seems to be the balance point between tall and short.
However, this doesn't really mean anything. There will be women that prefer shorter men, and there will be shorter women that prefer a man that is simply taller than her.
Bottom line is there will be women attracted to you.
You can't exactly change your heights, so there is no reason in even pondering about it.

VERY good response....And so true!! I am 5'5" and prefer men who are just a little taller than me....I usually do not date men over 6'....Mostly because tall men never ask me out....HMMMMM.....

I prefer taller. There's just something comforting about a taller guy taking you in his arms.
However, I've found that some shorter guys have BIG personalities that make up for it. At least the ones I've dated. Can't say that for all short guys.,

Most men in Texas are about 6'0 or taller, I'm only 5'8 so I'm considered short. A lot of women here look for taller men.

My baby daddy was 5'5. No wonder she was 18" at birth, lol poor shorty!!! But I didn't mind that he was short! I went thru my phase in '09' of short (5'5-5'8) built guys, lol! But personal choice is i definitely prefer taller, broader guys!!!! I'd take my tall guy over a shorter one any day!
perfect example of a woman that prefers taller guys but will date someone shorter.
you just have to knock her socks off, so to speak.
are you really 5'5"? i hear that guys lie about their height on the internet.
i am really only 6'1.5", but don't tell anyone i rounded up

Yeah, yeah, has to be some attraction - but I'm a sucker for eyes and a wicked grin.
Don't need to feel petite and "protected" but loved and cherished by a partner.

yep, i have heard the stories, only it wasn't just a 2 inch fib in most of them.
i never understood this. as critical as some ladies are about height, these guys have got to know that they will not fool the ladies when they do finally meet, especially if she asks like three times.
the ladies i have spoken to are quite good at sizing a guy up, height wise, because they know what they like and are used to, with or without heels on. the tone in which the story is usually told tells me that they get a little pissy about it too.

Had a friend in college who was certainly no taller than you who got all the female companionship he wanted. Not particularly handsome but well groomed. He wasn't a pickup artist but being a salesman he knew how to talk and relate to women. And the ladies he hung around with were quite beautiful, tired of dating and being pursued by college boys and wanting a man.

*****************************************
I came across this at least 2 or 3 times, since dating online.
For reference.... I am 5'3" tall, myself. I've dated men that were shorter and taller than me. My first (ex) husband is 5'1". My second (ex) husband is 6'.
I had one guy tell me that he is 5'6". I go to the date location wearing flats, so as not to have an added inch or two. He shows up and when I got up out of the chair to greet him, the top of his head lined up right below my chin. He still insisted to being 5'6" "because that's what's noted on (his) driver's license." I guess that he may be 5' tall.
Another guy swore that he is 5'9"..... I wore a pair of (relatively flat soled) sneakers to that date. Even if I gained an inch from the shoes, he didn't seem more than an inch or so taller than me. I guess he may have been 5'5 or 5'6"?!
A guy friend of mine always thought he was 5'11. He recently told me that he had been corrected by his doctor during his last physical. The med assistant had measured him and noted that he was "only" 5'9".

Height don't mean as much to a older people as much as it mean to younger people.My first baby mother was like 5'9" I'm 6'3" ur son is like 6'6".At 57 I could care less if shes 7 ft tall or 4ft tall.In the bed it will work it self out anyway.In the future everyone will be short for space saving.Smaller cars smaller homes.Thangs like that.

You seem like an upbeat type of guy to me Ops... I can't see you having too much problems with women even if you are 5'5...
I am 6 feet myself but had women say they don't really date muscular guys... But by the end of the date, they can't stop touching my arms or shoulders or chest... My arms are 20inches... The average man arms are 13inches... So some women think my arms must be like those powerlifters or larger guys arms... Those guys arms are just big... My arms are defined... You see every detail so the look is different...
What I am trying to say is some short guys have other qualities that other short guys don't... Women who might not date short fat/skinny guys might date you because you could be in excellent condition... They might go into the date skeptical but doing the date find other things attractive about you...
Just be honest about your height from the beginning if asked... Some will go out with you anyway thinking that it probably won't work... It's up to you to change their mind... Just be proud of who you are...

Shortness should never bother you, if it's an issue for them, they aren't worth dating. Being only 5'6"(I was 5'7"), I have never had a problem, matter of fact, my first ex was 6', and for 5 years I was a happy camper.
Engage the mind, and there you will find out who they truly are.
Be confident in yourself.
Improve yourself and you will be confident.
Good luck to everyone.

I've noticed that the indy type girls don't seem to care much about height. It's usually the girls with daddy issues that go for taller guys. Again I said "usually", this doesn't apply to all. I'm 5'10 tho so I'm sorta in the middle, and never had a girl turn me down due to height as far as I know so my opinion doesn't really matter.
