    Do men like women that are shorter than average?

    Okay, I'm only like 4' 8'' and was just wondering do/ will men ever find me attractive at the height I am? I hate how short I am, I wish I was atleast 5 feet...

    My wife is only 4'7" and I found her shortness as one of her attractive features. I am 6'3". A big problem will be finding clothes that are proportioned like an adult that fit. My wife alters many of her clothes. My mother was 5'1" but she is probably somewhat shorter now due to shrinking slightly with age. As such, I never considered tall in women to be a requirement.

      My grandfather was well over 6' and grandma just under 5', they lasted 68 yrs together. He said he married her because," she was the prettiest girl in Wyoming territory". She would call him a, "silly old man" but admit that she was considered "rather attractive".
      Some tall men like to be able to look a woman in the eye, others seems to really prefer the petite, just as some women like a man they have to look up at while others of us just want a comfortable height to be able to snuggle up with.

        I am 5' and my bf is 6', he says he likes that because it makes me cuter. For sex though it does cause some problems but for cuddling it is perfect can I can literally ball up and he can hold me perfectly against his body lol.

          I am also 6'3" and my girlfriend is 4'9" and i can definitely say i absolutely love her height. She is so much more compact and snuggly. Also, it makes it impossible for her to escape me when i feel like holding her down for a good tickle..i mean she hates it but i love it :-P

            men like all shapes and sizes. I am learning that it is *for the most part* and combination of things that attract men to women. And I am sure someone will appreciate your for your size or it may not even be a factor at all, b/c they see a number of other factors that attract them to you.

              4'8" pretty much allows you the pick of every guy. Smaller girls can be very attractive, works for Kylie 5'1". Generally men tend to go for shorter women or more likely is women go for taller men.

                I agree with everyone else. I've dated a guy that was 6'6" before and I'm 5'4"...Picture taking was awkward because he'd have to "duck down" But otherwise it was good and he could pick me up too! I've dated all shapes and sizes and I'm sure guys will feel the same way about you. Just be yourself and embrace it!

                    I have found that the more petite lady's are quite capable of being good companions.
                    If asked, just about any size woman harbors concerns for one perceived issue or another.
                    It's up to their guy friends to help allay their concerns.
