Does she have pistol grip ears?

6rant6's avatar

Is she hot? Is she smart? Does she like theater?

Blackberry's avatar

My initial reaction is no. Does that make me a bad person?

Would her hands make my penis look humongous?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Blackberry Makes you honest. I’m still thinking it over.

6rant6's avatar

I think it would be a lot easier than dating a woman, say, a foot taller than me.

Berserker's avatar

I’d totally date that hot midget chick from Total Recall.

But sure, I would, if it was someone I loved, or at least, was really interested in.

saint's avatar

No. To begin with, I’m 6 and a half feet tall. It just wouldn’t work.

Pandora's avatar

No I would not. My family is already short. I didn’t want to risk the dating someone shorter than me. Then it would only assure the possibility of having equally short children if we had gotten married. Its not to difficult for a girl to be short but it is hard on guys.
Its easier for a girl to be acceptable at a shorter height than it is for guys.

Sure, if I was attracted to her. Her height wouldn’t matter, it would all depend on the same factors I apply when I consider approaching any woman.

filmfann's avatar

Without a doubt I would.

I had one date with a little person and what pissed me off was not that he was short but that he didn’t tell me he was short. We met online and the first time we met he hopped out of the car. All 2 feet of him. I was totally caught off guard. But yes, I would date anyone that treated me well, regardless of how he looked.

I honestly do not know. I have never known one personally, since there are so many less of them than average statured people, it would make finding a good guy to date even harder by a factor of 100.

DrBill's avatar

absolutely, short is cute

deni's avatar

@Blackberry Thats mine too, and I was wondering the same thing. lol :(

@DrBill I agree “short” is cute, I always found myself drawn to short guys. But midgets? Their proportions are different and I just can’t imagine sex….

deni's avatar

I should have asked “What is sex with a midget like” Ooohhhh my god. Anyone know?!?!?

Bellatrix's avatar

Shame on me but no. I just have a thing for tall men.

DrBill's avatar

@deni

There limbs are shorter, but sexually, they are the same as the rest of us

deni's avatar

@DrBill I’m still having a lot of trouble envisioning a regular size women having sex with a man 3 feet shorter than her….Even in missionary, I feel like he’d be standing!!!! There would be a definite air of awkwardness to it that I’m not sure I could get over. Again I feel bad about that but if I’m being honest…

MollyMcGuire's avatar

I would be a friend to a midget, but not a lover. I’ve never known one.

Coloma's avatar

Never get a dog or take a lover whose face is level with counter tops.

mazingerz88's avatar

A hot chick blowing a male midget is hot. Hee hee.

FutureMemory's avatar

I thought we killed them at birth?

Akua's avatar

Wow some of the answers here are cracking me up. You guys are bad, lol. @DrBill when you say their limbs are shorter but sexually they are the same as the rest of us, really? I wouldn’t know but I assumed their penis would be in proportion to their size. But I guess it would look bigger on him than on a guy say 6ft tall.

deni's avatar

@Akua I feel like if a midget did have a normal sized penis or was well endowed, even, it would be like in Austin Powers where Austins faja says to Mini Me that he’s a tripod!!!!!!! it couldn’t be far from the truth!

Bellatrix's avatar

This song just came into my head as I thought of the well-endowed little person…

Akua's avatar

@deni (can’t stop laughing)

bkcunningham's avatar

You should all really stop and think about what you are doing and saying.

deni's avatar

@bkcunningham Well, will you elaborate? And answer the question honestly?

bkcunningham's avatar

I have two very good friends who are little people. One is a female who has dwarfism and the other is a male who I graduated from high school. He was born with Turner Syndrome. He actually set me up on my one and only date in high school. He had a girlfriend in high school or I would have considered going out with him. He was one of the kindest, funniest and best photographers I’ve known.

Would I consider going out with someone who is shorter than me? Absolutely. Been there, done that. I find it hurtful and mean to make fun of people. If you ever catch me doing it on Fluther, please, by all means ream me a new one.

Akua's avatar

I wasn’t making fun of anyone because they were small and my questions were genuine since I have never made love to a dwarf. And I don’t give people a “pass” just because their different. I have dated guys with one leg, deaf guys and I tried to date a person with dwarfism and you know what? They had faults just like everyone else. I’m happy that your experience was so positive, not everyone is as fortunate. The dwarf lied and the man with one leg kicked me out of my own home. I believe in equal opportunity and your a bad person whether you are 3 ft tall or 6 ft tall.

FutureMemory's avatar

@Akua I’m happy that your experience was so positive, not everyone is as fortunate.

My experiences with dwarfs have largely been negative, too.

6rant6's avatar

I hope my answer doesn’t seem insensitive. I was just saying “here are the things I’d use as standards for any woman.” Actually, maybe my STANDARDS may seem insensitive to some, but height isn’t one of them.

deni's avatar

@6rant6 No it did not seem insensitive. I meant the question as, if someone had the general qualities you want in a partner, and was a midget, would it hinder your feelings toward em.

FutureMemory's avatar

@deni Just fyi, I think the term midget is generally considered quite offensive by little people.

edit: According to Wikipedia:

“midget” is regarded as offensive to those with dwarfism by both the Restricted Growth Association (UK based support network for people of profound short-stature) and the Little People of America (the American support network), along with many other nationally based groups, advocating the rights of individuals with disabilities and dwarfing conditions.

Ela's avatar

Nope, I will not date anyone shorter than myself. Shame on me also @Bellatrix : (
