Post Reply New Topic

im a 5 foot 5 guy and done growing. i have aspergers according to a psychiatrist who specializes is autism spectrum disorders. i know aspergers makes dating harder but some aspies still find dates. however , if im only 5 foot 5 inches; does this make my odds significantly lower ?

has any aspie my size on this site ever had a girlfriend/sex/etc?

I don't think your odds are any lower. Girls are more interested in confidence than in height so if you lack confidence because of your height, that will not be good but other than that, you should be fine.

your tall compared to me im only 4"11 id give you a chance if i knew u in real life . well maybe
the height thing wouldnt be a problem for me your age would. im 20 turning 21 but i dont really date people online

oooohhh heres your chance michael spit game

I'm 5' 2"--my wife is a little shorter than I am.

I'm 5'5" also and I've had six gf's, which is more than most of my friends. So your odds for finding a date probably aren't too bad... but keeping one? haha...

Are you my twin brother?

I am 5' 2", and so is my wife. One of my daughters is about my height, the other is 4' 11" (I think). But some of her best friends are over 6 foot tall.

I don't see height as a big deal. I am the youngest in my family, so I was always shorter than my brothers while growing up anyway. I just never caught up with them (my eldest brother is about 8" taller than I am).

I don't think height is the critical issue in most relationships.There are plenty of women who are 5' 5" or shorter, and quite a few taller than 5' 5" who don't care if their partner is shorter than they are. Personality (issues like kindness, humour, trustworthiness, shared interests, etc) is more important than height, in my opinion.

Alex is right. Girls care far more about personality, confidence and facial features than height.

Have you ever looked at that hotornot website? Most of the women thought most of the guys were hot.

How can you know that? Men can continue to grow until their mid-twenties, and so might you. Besides, I don't suppose this has much to do with attractiveness to women anyway. My ultimate answer: why not?

ok well i have no idea how tall i am but i am a girl and i no girls dont judge a guy on his height. they go for personality. I am nearly 18 and i never go for height and despite my very unusual name, i am quite sane(for me). I have aspeger and i think it is awsome cos it makes us unique.

Average woman's height is 5'4'' (in America).

You're taller than the average woman and there are plenty of shorter women too.

Yes, like everything else you have (such as looks , manners, personality weight....etc etc), height does affect your chances , some women would care a lot about it , others won't. I knew short men who always had relationships.

But if you're truly socially inept and your social skills suck then height must be your least concerns.

To be perfectly honest, I believe that men are generally limited to women who are close to their height or shorter. I once saw a couple where the female half was significantly taller than the male half and it really got people's attention.

I mention this just as an interesting social phenomenon - to the OP I don't think your height precludes anything romantically-speaking, but I definitely agree with the person who said that being insecure about it could definitely be a problem - which of course is "fixable" - positive feedback from this forum has helped me...

Good luck!!

Height is less of a big deal than you think. My ex-girlfriend is 4 inches taller than me. Even though the relationship didn't last long and we're no longer in contact, it didn't stop her from being very into me since day one. The only problem is when I danced with her, I had to raise my arm really high to twirl her around, otherwise she bumped her head into my arm.

yes well some people are superficial and only believe in look rather than personality
