Scared of what? Craning my neck and standing on my tiptoes all the damn time? Going out and looking like their little sister instead of their girlfriend? Not being able to rest my head on their chest without hearing their stomach growl?
It's a comfort thing. I won't deny tall and handsome is nice to look at, but if I'm going to be with a guy I'd rather not have a huge height difference makings things awkward.
Very probably fukked, yes, but 5ft is just incredibly short for a man. Guys starting around 5ft 4 or 5ft 6 are great and should not feel hopeless.
Height is no deal-breaker. I'll talk to a guy I like even if he's 6ft 6, but I honestly prefer men from 5ft 4 to 5ft 10. That's actually a much more common range to find than women who only like guys 6ft and over. Let me give 'em shorties some love
