Just a "little" question...

Hey everyone...I met what seems to be the "perfect" guy, but one problem...he's SHORT! I mean short. He says he is 5'4" but I am also 5'4" (actually 5" 3.5", if you want to get technical) and he is definitely smaller than me. I feel like a giant next to him, even in my flattest shoes (forget my chunky sneakers, waaah). Has anyone else had this experience and can offer some insight??? I hate to ditch him because of this, and he really, truly, seems to be everything I want otherwise, damn it! How could fate be so cruel?! Another nice thing is he's totally cool with it, before we met he's like, yeah, just so you know, I'm short. (Which was actually ok with me, but now meeting him, I just felt like when we were holding hands I was the "mommy", and he's 40!!! ) And he seems totally comfortable with it, doesn't seem to have any of the "little man syndrome" I've experienced with smaller guys. Plus, he REALLY has a nice build otherwise, works out a lot, just so damn small, I feel like I'm in munchkin land! Please, anyone out there also with a short guy? What do you think? Thanks! ; )

"You never know with any guy until you get his pants off, actually."

So true. I have been with some big hunky guys and have been quite surprised.

Well if you like him for who he "is" then it shouldn't be a problem! I always told people who asked me what my dream guy would look like...and I said one of the things I really like is a guy who is tall (i'm 5'6). Anyway...I met a guy who is 5'5 and I thought it would be weird...but oh man he's a GREAT guy and I got lucky, it will be 4 months on June 9th that we've been going out. He's my everything and I'm his.

Good luck

You can click above on my name "snafu2006" and you'll see "send email" and you can send me the email via ivillage and then I can email you back. Off the top of my head I don't know how you change your email address that is linked to your screen name. Try to email the doyenne via her screen name and maybe she'll know.

"He's my everything and I'm his." - that's so nice that you get to experience that. I never had a picture in my head about what the "dream" guy would actually look like. I usually see men individually so I don't have physical criteria. Enjoy your guy!
