Have you/would you ever hook up with/ date a guy thats only 5'8?

I know you were asking this to women but here is a mans take on your situation. Lee Hsiao Lung (Bruce Lee) was only 5' 7.5" and 140 pounds. He had no problems attracting women. It's all about attitude and self confidence. I tell people that I'm so ugly, I could put my face in batter and make gorilla cookies. But my attitude is solid, my confidence is there and because of it, I date women regularly. I also stay in top shape, which helps. You already said you take care of yourself, but you also said you have confidence issues? Chances are, women see that "struggle" you're having and that's what is hurting you. There is no magic pill that will make it better or your problems go away. You already know what the problem is. Now go out there and correct it. Change habits that you felt are holding you back. Be more open. Being "Mighty Mouse" on the outside, but "Shoeshine Boy" on the inside, won't get it done.

Uh, not true.

My husband was 5'8", and is now 5'6" because of a triple by-pass. (There is nearly a 13 year age differance between us.)

The problem is your own insecurity. Like animals, people instinctively pick up on it and will treat you as inferior because that is how you unconciously present yourself to them. A lot of girls don't always go for height, it does hurt our necks to always have to look up if we stand close, and not to mention the difficulties kissing!

Scientific studies have also proven that we instinctively go towards mates that resemble us physically, and where as the study that you are refering to, has been proven it is also highly inaccurate like most. My "little"brother is 6'7". He isn't that successful, and isn't a "leader" in a manner of speaking. However my husband has been and is successful ( a very decorated Navy career, and farmer), and despite being more "petite" very much, THE LEADER.

It's their personalities.

Brother is insecure, and husband, is VERY secure. Sometimes so much so it can be irratating as Hades.

I have dated a 6'4" guy and he was a jerk. My funniest date by far was with one of my friends from high school and he barely topped 4'5". Seriously! He had so much personality and laughter you couldn't help but to love him. Also hieght hardly indicates sizes *ahem* elsewhere, despite the myths that flow about.

What worked for me, and my brother tried this and it helped, was we took acting classes. Building self esteem for us on stage enabled us to portray that in day to day life. Also in a few years, as you learn who you are (not that you ever stop, lmao) you become more confident. In the end if you are a decent person stick to the old cliche "Be Yourself." If you are happy with you, you will exude that self confidence, and people will be more attracted to that than the jock with a sweaty loose handshake.

Seriously, they will.

I am an old lady so don't want to go into what I "hooked up with". BUT!!! My daughter is 5'1" Okay, I realize your problem is not with short or tall girls. My daughter, at the age of 30!!! "hooked up" with a guy on match.com (yes, due to my insistence and they won't admit it) who is 5'7" and they got married and are going to have a happy ever after ending. You are NOT short! And even if you still consider yourself short...my best friend married a guy who is 5'3"...and TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS (I still don't get it). Not the height but the personality...ok, my advice or whatever...is just be YOURSELF, and forget how tall you are. Your stature doesn't dictate you as a man...important features are your integrity, honesty, and DECENCY. Don't give up. There are actually,I truly believe, girls out there looking for these qualities. And if they can't see that, they aren't worth it!

I would but it would really depend on the guy. Here is my reason why I have to look at his personality first; I am 5'1" and have a REALLY bad Nepolion Complex! There is only room for one Nepolion Complex in a relationship and I got first dibs! I ended up marrying a rediculously tall guy, but that is not because he was tall (actually I think we probably look pretty silly together) but because he treated me better than any guy I had ever dated and because he is REALLY smart! If he had been 4'11" I STILL would have married him! You will find the right woman some day, and I hope you tret eachother ith respect!

To answer your question, .. I am 5'6 and 140 pounds, most of the guys i havfe dated are either my height or shorter. My current BF is 5'6 and weighs like 135 and we've been together for a year and half . The shortest guy i've hooked up with probably 5'5. There you go, and yes i would date a 5'8 guy

No i Wouldnt I Like tall and when i wear 4 inch heels Im taller then 5 fooot 8 and i dont want a guy that i cant wear heels around cause i look taller i want a guy thatll still be taller then me even if i wear heels.

Just date short girls that are 5 foot 2 or 5 foot 3

Okay, this was really long and I'm tired so to be honest with you I didn't read all of it.

But I have dated a guy who was short. Not shorter than me, but he was about 5'7", 5'8". It really is personality that matters. I think it'd be weird for me to date someone shorter than I am, but there are a lot of girls who are short out there, and you'd be perfect for them!

Don't worry about your height. Don't let it hold you back.

definately, most girls are not as all about looks and heighth as you would think. My fiance is about your size and i could care less if he grew another inch!! Girls don't usually pay that much attention to those kinds of things, and if you meet one that does...she isn't worth it!! :) The shortest guy i have been with was probably about my same heighth....but i didn't care i liked him alot. And like you said you are 19, you most likely will continue to grow and fill out until you are around 25. Good luck!!! hope this helps

i think at first glance you wouldn't be tops on my list... but it's not about looks... honestly it's not..

most girls are attracted to tall men... it's instinctive... but there is nothing that says you can't be with a shorter guy... the average height for a man is 5'9'' so you're really not that short.

i'm 5'7'' and i've dated guys that are shorter than me... i've dated guys that were considered ugly... and it wasn't an issue because most of the time it was just the two of us enjoying each other's company
