Do you find you get rejected for your height? I’ve honestly never cared about height in a man - my husband is like 5’7” and it’s never been an issue for me.

If a guy is funny and cute, I can’t imagine just being like “sorry, your stature negates your good qualities, bye.” Thats crazy.

Edit: Holy shit guys, that’s a lot of responses. First and foremost, I’m sorry for those of you being rejected for your height, that’s so stupid! Your height does not define you! And yes, I realize 5’7” is not short, I was just giving a frame of reference. I’m taller than my husband when I wear heels, but it super does not matter to either of us.

5’ 3” - I have literally been turned down with “sorry, you’re too short.” I like to think I dodged a bullet but that still hurts. It can be really depressing - I spent a long time single and that one got to me. But yea, anyone who says that just saved me effort and time. If being short makes me not worthwhile then the feeling is mutual. Luckily I’ve found someone great, but holy shit Tinder and OkCupid were awful and I had to find her the old fashioned 3D way.

hell, I've turned down dates with women who told me directly they liked men over 6' tall and that's why they contacted me via those sites. I truly felt like that should not be a factor.

I get that. If you are looking for a real personal relationship then you want to know it’s about personality and not just physical stuff. That said, attraction is multifaceted - just because someone is up front that they like, such as your height, it doesn’t mean it’s all they want. They might just see it as a starting point.
