"   According to a new Match.com survey, 71 percent of women don&amp;#039;t want to date a guy who is shorter than them. It seems like short dudes have been getting the shaft lately, so it&amp;#039;s time to speak up. I get the not wanting to date a shorter dude thing in theory. Yes, slow dancing can feel kinda awkward (beyond high school though, how often do you actually do that?) and you think twice before rocking your 5-inch stilettos, but that&amp;#039;s only if you let the whole height thing get to you. I once dated a shorter guy and the only person who seemed aware of our height difference was me. I threw my heels in the back of my closet and bought a few cute pairs of flats that I wore when we went out together. He never asked me to do it, I just did it because I thought it might be emasculating if I towered over him. But now that I think about it, he probably would have been mortified if he knew I was doing it. The guy ended up being a total bust for many, many other reasons, but his height wasn&amp;#039;t one of them. Sure, some guys have a complex about it and I get it\u2014that would be seriously annoying to deal with.  But if a man is vertically challenged and otherwise awesome, what&amp;#039;s the biggie? Can you imagine the flip side? Like if 70 percent of guys said they wouldn&amp;#039;t date a girl because she was anything less than a C-cup or didn&amp;#039;t have naturally shiny hair (I&amp;#039;d be screwed on both counts, BTW). We&amp;#039;d be outraged. Frankly, I&amp;#039;m impressed that short guys haven&amp;#039;t banded together to protest our prejudice. It&amp;#039;s really not cool. And it&amp;#039;s time we stopped.
