Girls generally find shorter guys unattractive and that's probably what is putting you off. It's like dumping a guy because he has less money or a lower job than you. If you're one of the many women that lose respect for a guy for any of the above reasons, then go ahead and dump him because he deserves better.

reader, anonymous, writes (29 November 2010): I can totally understand this. I was one of the tall ones in HS and it wasn't easy to date because that stereo typical, what we are all conditioned to, is the man being taller than the women. I went through most of my life like that, it also made me uncomfortable, so I avoided any men who were shorter than myself. I ended up marrying a man who was just barely 5'11 and I am 5'10". I rarely wore heals my entire marriage. So superficial, I realize, but I could not shake it. I realize now, in my mid 40's that I probably missed out on some very special guy because of it. There are a lot of men who feel the same way, so it's not just us.
I am long since divorced, but anyway, I met someone 10 months ago that I actually went to HS with and we started dating. He's about a half inch shorter than me when we are both in bare feet lol! And you know what? It barely bothers me at all. I think it has a lot to do with maturity and getting over it. I still won't wear heals though... can't cure me completely lol! Oh, and we are engaged to be married... as a matter of fact, just got engaged last night :-)
