I think realistically everyone is “shallow” in their own sense of the way. We like what we like and we want to feel what we want to feel and you can’t help that!
I’m 5’11” too. I prefer taller but have struggled to find them.
My new rule is as long as they are big and strong then they can be shorter. I just don’t want to feel huge.
My current guy is a little shorter than me but has a big neck, broad shoulders, and fit ripped body so I don’t mind.
I don’t think so. I’m 5’9” and feel the same way. For me it’s less about what the guy looks like and more about how I feel about myself in relation to him - I don’t want to be “bigger” than a guy I’m dating and don’t want to feel large and clumsy in relation to him, would rather date a tall guy who makes me feel petite in comparison
A1 jokes on you, please take a hike
Im 5’9” and same thing. I say I don’t care but then when I’m actually tested on it, I think I do care. Fml 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks ladies. At 5'0 I'll take all the guys that's shorter than you
Not at all

I’m 5’8 and I always held true to this needing a man much taller. However I met my husband who is 5’9 or so and I changed that tune. I would have missed out on an amazing man had I not broadened my horizon. It really does not matter these days and I wear heels as usual. It’s not as big of a deal as I used to swear it was.
Not saying that you can’t keep your requirements but don’t end up on missing out on someone perfect for you because of it.

It’s really not. He is shorter than me in most instances given my shoes always have some sort of lift. But as I said completely your choice to care that much about the height.
I mean okay let’s all be honest here... it is lol. Let’s not fake that. But that doesn’t mean it’s not okay for you to think that! It’s your preference and you have every right to have it, in the same way that make a beeline for every guy w really nice biceps 🤪 we all have our things, no worries
Not at all! I only date guy taller than me by a minimum of 4 inches. I like to climb 😉
Tree, mountain, sky scrapper as long as it’s of the male gender 😉

I’m 5’10. I don’t think it’s shallow, I get it. Selfishly, I’d love to date someone 6’3+, but I wouldn’t mind ending up with someone my height or just a little taller, because then my future child would be closer to an average height.
Feel the same way. And don’t forget about wanting to wear heels...!
Pro
I’m 5 8” and I have an immediate attraction to most men above 6 ft. I’ve been attracted to someone shorter than me maybe only a few times and that was probably cause I felt they were really intelligent. I’m shamelessly staring at any 6 ft+ guy. 😄
5’11 - i used to have a 6’3 rule. My husband is 6’0..it’s not an issue but I do secretly wish he was taller 🙃
I’m 5’7 and wear heels on the regular, so ideally have wanted to be with someone 6’0 and above (I’ve never seriously dated under 6’1). I tell people it’s my only superficial thing (I’ll take bald, a little weight, lanky....but height is hard for me to budge on). I lose attraction when I’m bending down to kiss someone (the thought makes me laugh) and/or I feel like I could break them in bed. Hehe.
Well even as a short girl, I dated a guy who was 5’2. Even though he was taller than me, it was still awkward. We went to watch a hockey game together and as we were finding our seats with beer in hand, a security guard chased us to ask for ID because we both looked underaged. I was 22 and he was 24
I’m 4’11 and the last three guys I’ve been with were all 6’2 🤣
5’3 here — I used to set my requirements to 5’8+ on dating apps but ended up meeting the LOML who is 5’4 through a mutual friend. I will say that shallow or not the culture in America puts a taboo on dating shorter men or men shorter than you, and that the BIGGEST thing for me to get over (in all other ways my boo is 10/10). So on one hand I totally get it, and it is really hard to get past those thoughts/feelings (they stick in the back if your mind). But on the other hand I’ll say that by allowing myself to overlook the height thing I found myself with the most beautiful, thoughtful human being, so that’s something to consider too!
No; everyone has their own physical attractions. Some guys wont date a girl with small boobs, some guys dont date overweight women (or men), some guys dont date asians, etc etc etc Same goes for women.
As long as we are open to and respectful of people outside our preferences, youre fine.
Shallow? Sure. But as a 5’10 lady my real issue was - I do not have time for anyone’s ego to be crushed just because I put on a pair of heels. I am tall. I am loud. I don’t shut up. Anyone shorter than me had to deliver on confidence. No surprise - SO is 6’2 and reserved. But he gets to be the little spoon sometimes too and that makes him happy. 😉

It’s not shallow at all.
It’s only shallow if you get upset with short(er) women for also dating tall men
