I'm trying to challenge my prejudices here, but haven't got past 'I don' t want to date anyone' and having perved your profile 'he's a handsome wee dude' followed by 'he's young enough to be your son'.
don't worry about being small......no doubt you have a big heart and better personality ,then people you see as bigger then your self/..........jmo........tru....
the only midgets i've known worked in the entertainment industry; the old carlos marcelo/la costa nostra/new orleans club ring...thats where i saw midget exotic dancer gals for the first time, they'd bring the house down, giving the other slacker bimbos a run for their money.
used to check on em when i worked my NOPD beat, i still remember the padrone's name who was responsible for them.
My daughter once put on a pair of ridiculously high heels and all of a sudden she was eye level with me. The penny dropped at that moment that I was still viewing her as a child due to her diminutive stature (just under 5 foot).
It can be very difficult to move forward from those automatic responses, even though rationally I know she's an adult and, having trained in martial arts, not all that vulnerable.
Many people are quite shocked when they first meet me. My 3 year old niece is already taller than me. Children really don't know what to think when they first see me.
It's said that of you double a child's height when they're three, you get their approximate adult height. Both your niece and my granddaughter are going to be very tall women!
I thought it would be difficult for my granddaughter being such a tall child (she's six and comes up to her mum's shoulder). I thought people would expect her to be older and therefore expect too much of her before she was ready.
I now realise that it was more difficult for my daughter being a very small child - she'd often get excluded from games and conversations because it all happened way above her head.
As an adult, she's mostly had radically dyed hair, perhaps because it makes it harder for people to overlook her.
It strikes me, the taller a person is, the more likely they are to be listened to and respected, at least at the point of initial interaction, and often for longer whether they're input warrants it, or not.
I can imagine children's confusion when they meet you.
Yes I have dated a couple of big people. The dates were a little awkward but we made the best of it. I dated a woman who is 5'2" but compared to my 3 feet she was pretty uncomfortable. I don't fight...at my size I'd like,y be trampled

You might be little in stature, but you have a big personality & that goes a long way with most women .!

Often times it is hard for people to take me seriously especially when it comes to dating. I get stares and lots of giggles when I am in public but I am comfortable in my own skin now. And yes, children are always amazed. The comments can be pretty funny though if you have a good sense of humor. Some of the little people i know get upset but I don't.

Tinysmilez28: I am a little person and have just started dating big people recently.
I have or had a friend who was small and she married a tall man. She could not walk without crutches though she swung along if you get me. What a lady what courage she had. She tried so many times until she had a son. He is grown ,man now and i lost touch with her. She managed just fine so yes it does happen but not without trials.
What makes you want to date big person. ?? if dating leads to better things more complications, what is wrong with dating someone your own size?? A little lady probably had to go through same things as yourself so would click with that understanding straight off .
I wish you happiness and a partner like all of us here

I have dated mostly through the LPA, the little people of America. I enjoy being with little people but even most littles are a foot taller than me anyway. I had a huge crush on a friend in college but she was to uncomfortable dating me. Thank you for the kind wishes. I just hope someone will see me for more than my size and more for my heart and spirit
