Is a guy's height an important factor to girls?
I have no idea to what extent the whole "girls don't like guys shorter than them" thing is true. I say this because I'm about 5' 6" (maybe 5' 7"), and I'm shorter than many of the other guys I know. What worries me is that I'll be alone for the rest of my life just because I'm short. So how much is height a factor for girls? I really hope that my impression from Internet forums, TV, and my imagination are wrong about this... I'd hate to think that that many people could be so shallow.
So do I have any hope at all?
Oh, and I'm a 19 year-old college student, so don't say "Wait to grow more."
God dammit. I was really hoping I would be wrong.

Personality, manners and the way you treat them are more important than height.

Well, let me tell you that you are not so short: And you're still 19, you are going to grow up some more, not so much, but some inches.
And abou what women like, I guess that almost all of us like men taller, but depends of the kind of girl, there are some that don't even think of that. Actually, I'm 5'2'' and I like -or maybe even more- a guy who's 5'5", he's taller than me but he seems to be shorter and I don't care about that at all. Believe, if you're a good guy, girls wouldn't care abou that

I personally don't mind shorter girls, I'd rather look at their personality than their physical attractiveness. Looks aren't as important as the media makes it out to be, and height is hardly a matter.
Just because your short doesn't mean nobody would love you for who you are, just keep your options open. And take it from me, you do have plenty of hope.
I know other guys have other thoughts, but this is my opinion.

it relatively is the guy that concerns to me no longer their top. while i replaced into relationship the shortest individual i dated (Jerri Lee ) replaced into basically 4 foot 10 inch , an entire foot shorter then me. and Jennifer replaced into 6 foot a million inch,3 inches taller. (she replaced into on the ladies basketball team.) It replaced into their character that i enjoyed ,no longer their top. neither relationship labored out , yet i nevertheless admire them and prefer them as pals. Jerri continually wore severe heels because of the fact she liked them ( is 30+ pairs a like or a love?) yet Jennifer never wore severe heels as quickly as we've been relationship. It made her experience uncomfortable. If a guy loves you, it relatively is going to likely be for who you're and not your footwear !! in case you prefer to placed on them then gain this, Do what you experience is sturdy for you.... i'm hoping this has helped and that i choose you nicely !!

Sure you have lots to look forward to there are plenty of girls who are the same height as you are or shorter. A man who is too tall is harder to kiss anyway.

Girls like to feel small and being with a taller guy will do this.
Girls also like feel protected and they will feel more protected with a taller guy.
I would just wait for the right girl to come along because eventuall she will. And it might be a 5'6" girl, or a 5'2" girl.
