no way short girls are built for speed. Love em a lot you just havent found the correct person for you. It will happen when you are ready.\nStay patient.

you're not short,just smaller than some other guys. Don't worry. i can't help on the other parts,sorry.  But keep in mind the saying,the best things come in small packages : )

Take it from a guy who’s been there a few times, I’ve dated many girls who are taller than me. Trust me its not that bad. What really matter is what you got in your head not your height. If you get neck pain, don’t worry you always have something to look at with ought looking at her face. (just kidding) anyways go ahead tall chicks are great and they often have great personalities  since they don’t have to compensate

I don't think anything is wrong with you, you just haven't met the right girl yet. So what if you're not very tall and you are not very small, you just have to keep trying. That's what the dating game is all about. Are you in school? You could look around campus for different events that are sure to attract many decent young ladies. Just keep trying, it is rough trying to find a mate but it won't get you anywhere if you give up.

I don't like skinny lanky men too much, I tend to date taller bigger guys.  Just personal preference is all.\n\nAnd no they don't intimidate me, hahaha!

i myself find petite girls very attractive, why they dont respond could be a few reasons. you have more money, standoffish cause youre into your thing (gymnast thing), or they think your too cute for them.

It's instinct.  Men are attracted to women who can provide healthy offspring.  Big boobs triggers in your instinct that this woman can easily provide nourishment for a child.  As for the tall, short thing, I'm not sure.  Chubby equals unhealthy, so that's why you aren't attracted to them, but I'm not sure why short women turn you on vs. tall.  Maybe your own height has something to do with that?  My boyfriend is 5'10, i'm 5'8 and he doesn't like it when I wear heels.  I think it may be an alpha male thing.  You can't look like a (tough) alpha male when your woman is taller than u.

Some women don't care, but many of us do.  I am very tall (6'0" barefoot) and have trouble finding men that are taller than I am and I hate it.  I am just like most other women and want to feel that I'm with someone who's taller than I am and can give me a feeling of protection (I think it's also a subconscious domination thing).  A man who's taller that you makes you feel small and protected, safe... even a little as if other women must envy you for the man you've gained the attention of.  I'm thinking it must be a little bit of a primal thing... dunno!

The national average for women is a size 13. At your age it's hard to meet a guy thats interested n anything  thats less than a twig. How do you feel about your size? Are you comfortable in your own skin. Older men like curves, and you have them. Your not that big......your just curvey. Have confidence in your self that attracts men.   Find a hobby that preoccupies your time where you dont feel down and one that you can also get exercize Trst me it makes you feel better. Good luck Sweety1

No, that's not true at all. Take a good look at celebrities and you'll see some very short men with average or taller women. It's extremely common. Exuding self-confidence and a sense of humor is FAR more important than height. (...and...everything is JUST the right fit when you're a bit shorter, too...)

Hey there,\n\nAll heights are acceptable, no matter what. I felt exactly the same way as you when I was younger. I am 19 and i'm 4'9 and my feet are really small and my figure frame is tiny as well. You should be happy with your body, its really fun to be short and a lot of advantages do come with it. And as for guys and dating, you will find a guy who will love you for who you are and he will love your height as well. Well when people are different, I guess a lot of people will be self conscious or stare when they are around different persons. It seems to happen all over the world. I guess its human nature for us to be self conscious about someone different around us until we get to know them.

No, don't wear skimpy clothes.  I believe modesty is the best way to go. You can still be sexy and be modest.  So the young guys are not giving you much attention?  I am only 28, but maybe the older guys see a maturity level in you that isn't common for someone your age.    Why they think they have a chance, I don't know.  Maybe the younger guys that you say ignore you just aren't ready for someone like you.  Maybe some guys just want a fling and a little fun and are looking for someone who exudes that personality.  Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

Yes, size does matter.  But height of a guy never been a problem with me 'cause most guys are taller than me....even my 13-year-old little brother.

some guys it does.. some it doesn't.. if a man is confident it should not matter.. so, your being tall is a good thing, as it will weed out the guys that lack confidence..

You should not let your stature bother you.  I know a guy who is 5' 4" and he is a total stud.  It is all attitude.  Stop looking at that stuff on the Internet and get some help.  Sometimes it just helps to talk to someone.  You may need a mild antidepressant.  But, don't rely on pills to make you feel better about yourself.  You can only find that within...

My husband is 6'2"...I'm 5'4". Maybe its not so much your height...but your nasty a$$ attitude that makes men not want you!!
