What NOT to Say to Your Short Girlfriend

When you’re dating a short girl, you might think that she is super adorable.

I mean everything she does is cute.

But for her, she might probably have a hard time being taken seriously. Chances are she has been teased about her height at least once or twice in her life. And since a woman’s appearance is important to her, she might be insecure about her height.

Should bullying her about her height also continue in her dating life?

Men with short girlfriends everywhere, if you are dating someone visibly shorter than you, avoid making fun of her height. And to avoid ever making that mistake, here is a list of things you shouldn’t say to your short girlfriend.

‘You Look Like My Little Sister’

Being short in stature can make her a magnet for hurtful and embarrassing comments.

But being compared to her boyfriend’s little sister is not a comment she will take very well.

Your girlfriend is someone you treat with love and intimacy and is different from the love you show your own family members.

Yes, your comment might feel like she’s part of the family, but not in the adorable way you think. It’s awkward, weird, and gross.

Just avoid the comparison, even if you don’t mean to offend her.

‘You’re So Cute When You’re Mad’

If you find yourself telling her this, you probably are indirectly offending her.

When you tell her she looks cute when she is angry at you, you are not showing her the respect she deserves.

You might have a playful relationship with your girlfriend but there is a time when you can joke and when you need to be serious. You can probably tell the difference between them.

Just be careful with your words to her. You might not be aware of what your words mean to her.

‘You Should Wear Heels’

Women generally don’t like it when people are constantly evaluating their appearance.

That does not mean they won’t accept a compliment about how they look, but if she’s told to wear something that highlights something she lacks then that could be offensive to her.

She has to choose to wear them because she wants to and not cause ‘she will look taller’ in them.

You can gently ask her about her fashion choices or even recommend some if you think that item will look good on her, but never insist she wears something for your comfort.

Basically, Saying Anything While Dramatically Crouching Down to Her Height

Sometimes actions speak louder than words.

This type of action is definitely something you should avoid and keep to yourself.

There are some instances where you will have to crouch down to her to talk or hear her, but when you make that obvious to her and the people around you, that can be seen as hurtful and embarrassing to her.

Always Going Back to Respect

There is always a set of unwritten rules when we date different people. Short people included.

And in the end, everything all comes to just respect for your girlfriend and her lack of height. She probably has a lot more redeeming qualities that might make up for her height. Support her and lift her up in your relationship — figuratively, not literally.
