Funny. My boyfriend is tall and isn't really the jelous type He trusts me

Im not buying this. I dated a guy in college that was only an inch taller than me...he was the most trusting bf Ive ever had. He let me do whatever I wanted, and never questioned it. My current BF is 6'5 and he gets insecure sometimes, thinking that I will get bored with him and go find someone else. (though this is not a perminant feeling, it comes and goes depending on his mood)

I dunno, most of the tall guys I know I kinda insecure... but they're also kinda dorky.

I'm 5'6 and YES I do!

I can't date a man shorter than me. Especially with that I love heels. I like men to be at least 5'11 to 6'4! Ahh.. *day-dreaming*
Dark skinned or Latino with either dreads or a low wavy cut. Muscles, hard worker and deep voice.

Those are just a bonus...LOL

as for the last question "do you judge a man based on his height" I would have to say no, but but I definatly have a preference towards tall men.

This article is so silly! My boyfriend is 5'7 (I am also 5'7) and he is the most trusting wonderful man I have ever met. I have had taller boyfriends before that were extremely jealous. Whether a guy is tall or not does not have any bearing on whether he is jealous or not. Now if a guy has short man's complex then he just has low self esteem and that is a separate issue.

I prefer men who are taller than me...i'm 5'7 and love to wear heels so shorties don't look good next to me! Only like 6'0 and above! My boyfriend is 6'2 and it feels perfect.

Oh, and I also like my man to be muscular and strong (I hit the jackpot with mine!). I once dated a guy who was 5'11 and skinnier than me and I felt like the guy when we walked down the street...Also felt like he couldn't protect me.

I can see why short men would be jealous... but anyways, I had a tall ex who was 6'1, he was vain. VERY vain. The guy thought he was a hot shot because he was asked to be a model. // I do look for a guy who is tall. 2 or 3in. taller than me is a must so that when I wear heels, I don't stand taller than he is.

I prefer taller men because I'm fairly tall myself.

But I wouldn't judge someone based on their height. Judge them how? Their personality? Their intelligence? I'm not really sure how you could tell any of those things.

As for the research, it could very well be a true correlation. I love how people doubt research based on their personal one-off experiences though. The study doesn't say "all short people are jealous" or "all tall people are trusting."

So if you have a short trusting boyfriend it doesn't mean this research is invalid. It just means that you happen to have a short and trusting boyfriend.

I definitely have a thing for the taller boys thats for sure.

HA! This is a ridicules article. I am 5'9" and my boyfriend of five years is 5'5". He is the most trusting and confident guy I have EVER dated! Jealous? why? no reason. This is a bunch of crap if you ask me. As a matter of fact all my tall boyfriends had major trust and jealous problems. Trust is what ended my last 2 relationships.

Well since i am 5"1" i don't really have a problem with short men since everyone is tall to me!

I don't buy it either.

I like tall men. But I don't judge men by their height character wise. I don't think I would feel comfortable with someone shorter than me in a relationship. I wear heels a lot and I would be concerned all the time about making him feel small and uncomfortable (even if he wasn't), it would stress me a bit.

I am 5'10" and my hubby is 5'5".

We are both very secure in our relationship and he's a demon in the sack.

I think if shorter guys are insecure its just the same statistic of chubby women who are more insecure (or tall women!!)

We all have insecurities.

I don't think this article is true either. I know of tall and shorter men who are insecure. Height plays no part in being secure.

Personally, a man's height does matter to me. He has to be taller than me, but because I'm petite, that's an easy requirement.

I think the title is whats making me upset more than the content.

"The Trouble With Short Men"

I mean give me a break. dont you think they have enough stereotypes to deal with? NOW there is "trouble" with them beaing short?

I just feel sorry for my bf sometimes.
He is such a great person and the short thing never stops.

i can kind of see how they came to this conclusion because i'd understand why some shorter guys would be insecure, and therefore jealous. i think tall guys do have it easy, because they're so "in demand." i'm pretty short myself (5'1"-5'2"), but i have a thing for guys much taller than me. i can't date someone on the shorter side because i'd be about the same height with heels, or almost their height, and i like the guy to be quite a bit taller.

I'm shortish so I've never had a problem with guys being shorter than me although I do prefer taller guys (I like to feel small). When I was younger I would only hang out with guys who were 6'2" or taller. My reasoning being that I was young and cute and could be as shallow as I wanted. Now, I can't say that height would influence me at all. I guess as you get older you realize that there are way more important things.

I don't know so much about any truth to this but personally I will only date tall men...

designgirl-I dont think being "in command" has anything to do with height. My bf is 6'5 and I wouldnt say that he has it easier. People stare, he cant ever find clothes that fit, he wears shoes that are half a size too small otherwise he would have to special order them, and he usually hits his head on door frames and/or low ceilings, he drives a truck because he cant comfortably fit into smaller cars (he tries to drive my little 2 door acura sometimes, and its sooo funny) Anyway, I dont think being in command, or being jealous have anything to do with a mans height, and everything to do with how secure he is in himeself.

I definitely discriminate based on height. I'm 5'11" and find myself attracted to guys 6'1" and taller. Really as long as the guy is taller than me, I'm content.. it's difficult since I'm taller than half the guys I meet. It'd be even better if the guy was taller than me in heels 6'4" is ideal. I think regardless of a girl's height, we just prefer taller guys because they're bigger and we feel protected by them.

this is very interesting...can't say any relationship i've been has proven this to be true

but i've never had an issue with height. i'm super short (barely 5'1") so i've never had to worry about dating a guy that was too short for me. and dating super tall guys has proven to be awkward for me in the past. i guess my bf is on the shorter side, he's 5'8"-5'9", but it's perfect for me. and i can wear good sized heels and he's still taller then me

i dunno if its a dealbreaker, but definitely height plays a big part in a guys appeal..good thing hubby is taller than me even with my highest stilletos

Ex bf taller than husband and wayyy more jealous so Im not buying this.

i don't date short men.

if you're really nice and let's be honest, HOT, then i might overlook it. even then, guys under 5'7 are OFF-LIMITS.

i'm 5'2, most of my heels are atleast 4". if you're shorter than 5'7", well, i can see the top of your head. that's NOT hot.

the guy needs to be 5'10 or better.

awww my boy is short! haha..I have dated many tall guys, but I am fine with my shorty He is like my height but I like to wear alot of heels and he is really the best! Sometimes I ask him if it bothers him when I wear superhigh heels but he doesnt. I just never look at things like that as a dealbreaker or not..he makes me laugh, all is good.

Ick. NO SHORT MEN. I am 5'9 so they need to be AT LEAST 6'0. I need to feel protected- ya know? I once dated a 5'10 man and it felt like I was dating my brother.

I ABSOLUTELY judge a man by his height! Pardon me but i love tall men......

don't feel bad sunlandseagirl; they judge us on our boobs. so what's the difference? LMAO

I can't date short men, I hate to look down or eye level. I need someone at least 5'7 and I prefer 5'10 or taller.

I'm 5'10 and definitely need a guy that is taller than me. I have been with someone who was shorter and it was just awkward. Plus I find men are sometimes insecure with a woman who is taller than him.

Plus as someone who is always taller than everyone around its nice to have someone who is taller than you

there's no problem with short men, but there is a problem with a guy being insecure regardless of how tall or short he is.

I like shorter guys. Everything is in all the right places.

Though I do find tall to be attractive, I don't judge anyone based on height. I know my boyfriend likes to be taller than me (he's not much taller) -is that true for guys? They prefer shorter girls? I think I read that somewhere, which made me wish I was shorter.

For dating I do like taller men because I top out at 5'9". For all other instances though I don't judge by how tall a person is, man or woman. Sure there are guys that have "short man's complex" but for the most part height is just one more part of a person, just like if they have blue eyes or straight hair.

My fiance is about my height, maybe a bit taller, but not by much.

My ex was 5"11. I'm 5'6". My ex was horribly insecure, but I could be wearing 5 inch heels and my fiance would still be confident with himself and not feel like our relationship was at risk.

It makes a lot of things easier though with him being on the shorter side.

Seems like the problem with short men may be that there are a whole lot of insecure women who wont date them since they don't make good accessories...I just love reading these comments and replacing "short men" with "chubby women." lol

My boyfriend and I are both 5'9" and I wear heels and he definitely is not the jealous type.

I'm 5"4' or so...hubby is around 5"11'? Just about 6 feet tall. Not short, but not crazy tall either. Anyway, he's not the jealous type, but he can definitely get grumpy sometimes...until I tell him to knock it off. So I dunno...

I'm 5'11 and do like me a tall guy but definately wouldn't discriminate against a warm-heart and good personality!! I have dated both short and tall and have found that when you put on a pair of heels it does feel awkward to have a pocket pal with you! I don't think that all short men have this so called "jealousy problem" with height though. Most men that I meet are dying to date a tall girl. In the big scheme of things it is about how you get along not how much taller you are;)

This makes perfect sense to me. I'm tall, and some guys are just so tiny.

Sorry if that's not nice, or pc. I have been very attracted to men my height(or a little shorter) in the past, but I just feel like it wouldn't work in the long run because it might be a problem for the guy not feeling he is man enough next to taller men.

oh pleeeeeeeeeeeease. My ex is 6'4" and he was always jealous even though he had no reason to be.

My man is shorter - he "makes up" for it with a great personality, knowledge and being fun, organized.. So many things I like about him! Sometimes I feel that he has to try harder to get what he wants, and that has made him better at what he does. He regularly entertains the table when we're out together and makes everyone feel comfortable yet makes them laugh very hard..
From time to time I do think it would be nice if he was my height or taller, but at the same time it does not bother me much, and certainly I would never think of leaving him because of this, as I am not sure I would find another great guy like him!
I have always gone for the beautiful, tall, handsome and unapproachable boys in the past, and they were all jerks or insecure and always had one eye on their alternative options.. He is a breeze of fresh air for me.

you serious women are that picky, there are short hot men with with male characteristics that put the tallies to shame. I have slept with my friends girlfriend and i did nt ask her but she told me that i was more bigger if you know what i mean than him downstairs. she also mentioned he was thin. Talk about a 1, 2 punch to your thoeries. Believe it or not i am 5' 6 , strong boxers build or like a male gymnast. Sorry but i am living evidence most of you are wrong, when i go out i wear fitting clothes and even girls walking with boyfriends that are taller than me give me a quick look to avoid being busted by their partners next thing i see is the boyfriend looking at me to see what his girlfriend was looking at. I can say that my ego is superhealthy and i often play eye games with taller men and they often stand down if they dont a fight may be on the cards. By now you must of guessed I am a dominant type = AND THAT WAS THE KNOCK OUT

Fat chicks can always loose weight but us short guys are stuck with our lot. It's really unfortunate that some of the posters in here are so mean and insensitive. To DearSugar, I hope you lead a miserable pathetic shallow life.
