Shortarse Corner

April 01 2016

Since separating a few months ago, I've started to notice how my height (or lack thereof) is an issue with potential partners. There is a really strong social convention that men should be taller than their female partners, which seems stronger and more pervasive than other conventions around gender roles (like breadwinning, looking after children etc). Not sure how it is for women, but I definitely see many more short woman/tall man couples than vice versa. Of course just mentioning this opens me up to accusations of Short Man Syndrome (or having a Napoleon complex), but I thought this could be a safe space for the vertically challenged amongst us - of all genders - to talk about our lives and the issues we face. Like always having to have fucking stools nearby so we can get stuff off the top shelf. Or how it's a pain in the arse to search profiles here without being able to specify height, and discovering a potentially great match only to read that they're only interested in freakishly tall people 5'9" and over. Of course, there advantages to being short we could talk about too, like, er.....something. Thoughts?

I used to search out tall men, and to be honest, that would still be my preference BUT following a few encounters with shorter tight and horny European men, wow, it changed my opinion. But here's the thing, it can be slightly offputting when you walk up for the first kiss only to find you're looking down on your guy. I would still prefer to be looking up at him. Also being a sub, I like the dominant male to look down at me. But that's all in an ideal world, not always a deal breaker. Height is now something I don't take too much notice of when first looking at a profile, it's a combination of things. I currently have 2 guys I'm in contact with, one close to hook up, anyway, one is 6"9 and the other 6"10. I know it sounds bizarre. In all the time I've been doing this, I've never come across guys that tall, and now 2 in the space of a week. I don't yet know how I'll feel when I'm with them. Too tall? Who knows, never happy really are we, sounds like the story of Goldilocks and the three Bears, not too short, not too tall but juuuuuuust right Tall guys have big feet might need a stool for assistance I think overall though, height is not a major preference anymore

The preference that most women have for taller men just seems to be one of those primitive instincts that doesn't die no matter what. Since I'm a short arse myself it's not something that tends to be an issue for me, and actually I probably prefer men who aren't overly tall, over 6 feet and they start making me feel like a dwarf. For myself being short and 'petite' (hate that word) is often annoying...people - men and women - tend to not treat you as seriously and it's amazing how often you're spoken to like a child.

Benefits of being short include 1) having access to more oxygen2) reduced risk of injury from falls (especially if you have boob cushions)3) ability to give mobile headjobs The drawbacks are1) a tendency not to be taken as seriously as the freakishly tall2) jokes about the ability to give mobile headjobs I think benefit number three and drawback number two are doing a lot of work to prove the thesis outlined in drawback one, just quietly But this is not a place to hate on our tall brothers and sisters. I'll set up a facebook page for that.

I have a 'thing' for women that are not tall... perhaps 5'2'' or less. I also have a 'thing' for women that are say, 5'3'' to 5'8 ... a nice package. I also have a 'thing' for women that are say, 5'9'' or taller... statuesque beauties indeed. Looking at this post, there does seem to be a theme? I have a 'thing' for women and height is a rather irrelevant factor. At 6' myself, I am glad that the women I have had the pleasure of meeting seem to feel the same way. Enjoy ......

At 5'8 I do admit with heels a lot of guys can be just under my height. I don't discriminate but I do love a guy being taller than me. Because I'm curvy it makes me feel more feminine if that makes sense? I don't like feeling huge when I'm with a guy. But if we clicked it wouldn't be an issue for me. And he could get a nice view of my boobs 😉

Up until recently, I've always been with men who have been taller than me. It wasn't a preference or something I looked for, it just happened. I'm seeing someone who is shorter than me now. Kissing him is different from kissing a taller man - but that could also have to do with the quality of his lips as much as the fact that I'm titling my head down rather than up! And there are some other added benefits in certain positions - I've never quite enjoyed sex whilst standing up as much as I do with him. As for how I feel about being with someone shorter? It makes no difference to me! I still wear heels, and tower over him when I do - I think he appreciates the cleavage view. I don't feel any less feminine because he's not taller than me, and as for the need to feel protected and safe, he does that for me through the way he treats me, rather than the position his head reaches against a tape measure. And Freya, Peter Dinklage? Mmmmmmmmm. Yes please. - Posted from rhpmobile

I never think about it. Most the girls I've been with have been shorter , same , or slightly taller and found once laying down it really meant bugger all . Watched a interview this morning on height. A professor studied height of both sexes and concluded each generation will be taller by 2 cm each decade. This of course was put down to better dietry habits and lifestyle. Good to see some of you ladies lost the how tall thing and looked at the person instead.

I wouldn't be concerned with height mate...it still comes down to cool calm confidence at the end of the day...im 5ft 11 and I still feel confident enough to talk to a taller woman...if you let height become an issue...you have lost the battle before you have started I reckon. Mike Tysons only 5ft 10...how many taller guys would pick a fight with him! its all body language and confidence... just keep it real and honest...cant go wrong.

Sorry, i must admin i loathe being with a short man. Its not so much him but i do feel quite weird for one being with shorter then myself. Im 5'8, not tall but someone shorter then myself always hurts my neck and tends to pull me down to them standing up. My neck and back end up aching. My love for taller is i love them picking me up, its a major turn on...... sorry to say. Dont take it personally. I am a personality person, i dont go for looks, weight but height is a bit of an issue with me. Having said that, Ive still met and had sex with several that are shorter then myself. It doesnt make sex worse thats for sure.

In porn mode I'm always doing a search for exceptionally short and petite women and yet I always find myself connecting with far taller women. So that aside I really don't think there's much in it to be honest, especially if its a short (LOL) term get together or some FBW arrangement. Long term off site stuff perhaps but for what this site is about meh..........unless perhaps the girl is taller than me, that's just freaky but yes only one way to test this :). Confidence is key.

I can say that men being shorter don't worry me for fun. It was nice to have some towering over me, despite my killer heels. But interactions with lot of shorter guys. The only time it made a difference was when they were dropping it on the dance floor and I couldn't get down as low 😉

That I got lots of opinions about height last night and the reverse is definitely true. Most men I spoke to love short girls - so anyone over 5'6 can seem not as appealing lady wise

At 163 cm tall, you'd still tower over me as I stand at 155 cm short. The only disadvantage I find to being short is not being able to reach to top two shelves in my cupboards and having trouble getting things off the top shelf at the supermarket. I used to grab a pair of tongs at the supermarket and use those for those top shelf items but they're now packaged so you can't open them. I've also been known to use the bottom shelf as a step when no one is looking or I just ask a nice looking tall male passerby to help. I've never found anyone to mind helping me out to reach something. I've always been the shortest in my class at school as well as wherever I've worked and have learnt from a very young age the art of climbing shelves (I know......not very safe but I worked in a place with a very rickety ladder and climbing the shelves was much safer than using the ladder). One place I worked, I used to sometimes sit on the top shelf in the storage room if I wanted time out from everyone during my lunch break. Only got caught there once by management and was asked how the hell I got up there.
