Is There a Dating Site for Short People?

Yes. Midget Singles welcomes short women, short men, little people and the people who want to date them. Shorter Singles (in the UK), Short Passions and Short People Club are also built for short singles, and on Hinge and Bumble paying members can filter matches by height.

Here are all six side by side, then who each one suits, how to choose and how to meet safely. If you are a little person or have dwarfism, our guide Is there a dating app for little people? goes deeper on that side of things.

Midget Singles: short singles, little people and their admirers

Midget Singles is a dating site for little people, short singles and the people who sincerely want to meet them. You do not need dwarfism to join. If you are a petite woman of 4ft 11in, a man of 5ft 4in, or simply happiest with a partner close to your own height, you belong here, and so do taller people who are drawn to shorter partners.

It has over 29,000 members: more than 20,000 in the USA, over 1,400 in the UK, and others across Canada, Mexico and South America. Joining, building a profile, browsing and daily match suggestions are free, and free members can read and reply to messages from VIP members. A month of VIP is $39.95 (£24.95) and adds unlimited messaging, advanced search and seeing everyone who likes you. Every plan is on the pricing page.

Profiles are checked by the moderation team before they go live, and a free ID check earns you a blue tick so others know you are real. The full list is on our trust and safety page.

Short women: be the petite partner someone is hoping to find

Plenty of men love a petite partner, and plenty of short men would rather date a woman closer to their own height. On a site built around height, that is the starting point, not something to explain in your third message. Put your height in your profile, say what you want, and let the people who are pleased about it come to you.

Midget Singles is the broadest choice for short and petite women in the USA and UK. In Britain, Shorter Singles is a second option worth a look. If you would rather start with friendship and group chat, Short Passions is free to use and has a public chat room for its members.

Short men: be seen for more than a number

On the big apps, a height filter can hide a man of 5ft 5in before anyone reads a word he wrote. On a short-singles site it works the other way: everyone there chose a site built around being short, or around dating someone who is. That changes the first conversation. Nobody is surprised by your height, so you can talk about everything else.

Shorter Singles is aimed squarely at short men and women in the UK. Short People Club takes members from any country and welcomes taller women who prefer shorter men. Midget Singles welcomes short men alongside little people and admirers, with its biggest membership in the USA. For a few practical pointers, read our confidence tips for dating as a short person.

Hinge and Bumble: height filters, if you pay

The big apps can work well for short people in large cities, simply because of the numbers. Both now let you filter by height, but only on paid plans. Hinge's own help pages list height among the preferences that subscribers can set, alongside things like dating intentions and family plans; free members filter by age, distance, ethnicity, religion and relationship type. Bumble lists height among its Advanced Filters, which come with its paid Premium and Boost plans. Tinder tested a height preference with some paying subscribers in 2025.

The trade-off is that on a general app, height is one line among many and you pay to make it count. We compare the two approaches in detail in Midget Singles vs Hinge and Midget Singles vs Tinder, and every comparison is on our comparisons page.

How to choose the right site for you

• Where you live. Shorter Singles is for the UK. Midget Singles is strongest in the USA with a solid UK membership. Short Passions and Short People Club accept members from any country.
• What you want. For a relationship with someone who likes that you are short, start with a height-focused site. For friendship and chat first, Short Passions has free text chat and a public chat room.
• Your budget. All six are free to join. Messaging freely, or filtering by height on Hinge and Bumble, usually means paying, so try the free side first.
• If you are a little person. Midget Singles is built around little people as well as short singles. Our little people dating guide covers the dedicated options.
• Use two. A height-focused site plus Hinge or Bumble gives you the best of both, especially in a big city.

Meet safely, wherever you met

• Keep chatting on the site until you trust the person, and do not share your phone number, address or workplace early on.
• Have a video call before you meet. It confirms the person is who their photos say.
• Meet somewhere public, tell a friend where you will be, and get yourself home.
• Never send money to someone you have not met, whatever the story.
• If anyone treats your height as a fetish or a joke, block and report them. On Midget Singles the Block & Report control is on every profile and chat.

The best place to start

For most short women and men, the best start is a site where height is the reason everyone is there. Midget Singles is the broadest: short singles, little people and admirers in one community, free to join, with a large US membership and a solid UK one. In the UK, Shorter Singles is worth adding. If you live in a big city and are happy to pay for the height filter, Hinge or Bumble can sit alongside it.
