Lizzie60 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Then they need a lot of money. Truckloads. hahaha.. right on!!!
kashmir Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Have you ever thought that it could be something else ... (not your height ) Lol, I could have worded that better. I was trying to say that I see plenty of short guys around with girls while I don't have a girlfriend. Though, there was this one time I was out with some people and this girl hooked up with this shrimpy guy and kept looking at me like "haha, you can't have me" when she was kissing him on the bus ride back home. She was into me for a while, until I told her that I wasn't Jewish (and the other kid was) but Palestinian and Persian instead. Not the best thing to say to a Jewish girl...oh well, she was pretty immature anyway if you couldn't tell.
fral945 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Call me a hypocrite but I won't date a man under 5'2.5"! I always envisioned you as a 6' tall, fire breathing woman.
MusicChick24 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 How interesting...I see it all the time! However, it's not what I practice partially because I'm 5'3" and I don't see alot of guys my height or shorter! But I dated a guy that was my height in High School and it didn't bother me...keep in mind though I'm not a shallow person I don't turn someone down because they are "short" as I wouldn't want someone to turn me down because I'm short. Maybe I'm just diff because I don't judge people like that. I am one person who can honestly say they don't judge on looks at all. It's about the person inside. <3
rod_in_gtown Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm going to start wearing platforms to dates.
Author Bells Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 I should add that I don't see why it would be any worst than overweight, balding guys looking for fit attractive women.. What up with THAT??? They noted in the article That nothing can be done about height.
kdark Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Yes, people seem to be forgetting, absolutely nothing can be changed about a guy if he is short... Women, if they are having a big enough complex about it, can shell out the thousands of dollars needed for both liposuction and breast implants, completely alleviating two of the biggest concerns women have about their bodies. Men can do something about hairloss, men can get liposuction too, men can workout, work harder for more money, and buy more stylish clothes. But if he is short, there is absolutely nothing he can do about it.
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 its funny how the really tall men (like 6' 3" and above) always have women around them even if they are nerdy and average looking
Shygirl15 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I always envisioned you as a 6' tall, fire breathing woman. lol.. Infact most of LS fire breathing women are not taller than 5'3"..
Trialbyfire Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I always envisioned you as a 6' tall, fire breathing woman. I'm a little thing but packed full of fire and ire!
carhill Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 its funny how the really tall men (like 6' 3" and above) always have women around them even if they are nerdy and average looking Verticality embues a perception of strength. It's a phallic thing.
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Verticality embues a perception of strength. It's a phallic thing. indeed...almost every very tall man i've known has no problem getting women, even if he's ugly and jobless and shy.... i met this new married couple last weekend. she was gorgeous and he was this quiet nerdy computer programmer with glasses but he was like 6'4"
grogster Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 indeed...almost every very tall man i've known has no problem getting women, even if he's ugly and jobless and shy.... i met this new married couple last weekend. she was gorgeous and he was this quiet nerdy computer programmer with glasses but he was like 6'4" That's true, most women are "Height Queens". They don't necessarily want NBA centers but they love looking up to taller guys. I'm almost 6' 2" , speak in complete sentences and have a job. Therefore , I'm golden with the fairer sex. (Except I'm much too old for Lizzie ). My retractable claws can get in the way, too.
lovestruck818 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 An interesting article.....this sounds pretty grim. Dating column: Women hypocrites for refusing to date short men I was really taken aback when even short, petite 5'2" about the "Heels" on her shoes. LOL What's up with that? These Single women actually count their SHOES as part of their height? I'm a short woman and I actually prefer to date a short guy...tall guys, IMO, are just gross and awkward. 5'5" would be the absolute perfect male height. <3. Where my shorties at?
Shygirl15 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm a short woman and I actually prefer to date a short guy...tall guys, IMO, are just gross and awkward. 5'5" would be the absolute perfect male height. <3. Where my shorties at? Most much taller guys also think short-short women are awkward to be with anyway, so the feeling is mutual.
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Where my shorties at? you won't find them in the oval office
Trialbyfire Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Most much taller guys also think short-short women are awkward to be with anyway, so the feeling is mutual. Is this wishful thinking or real hardcore knowledge? Most of the men I've dated have been 6'+. Nary an issue with my shortness.
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Most of the men I've dated have been 6'+. heightist!
Trialbyfire Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 heightist! Totally true... But... It's one of those negotiable wants v. non-negotiable needs.
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Totally true... But... It's one of those negotiable wants v. non-negotiable needs. i'm 6' so i don't have any trouble...even in heels most women are shorter than me. but i wish i was 2 inches taller
I Luv the Chariot OH Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 tall guys, IMO, are just gross and awkward. This might be the most bizarre thing I've read in all my years at Loveshack. Thanks!
Shygirl15 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 This might be the most bizarre thing I've read in all my years at Loveshack. Thanks! lol..You must have not done a lot of reading around here recently then..
Brimstone_Angel Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I knew a woman who looked for love the right way, it is sad we did not workout (she had issues that she could not get over and it put a strain on the relationship, plus me losing my address book did not help either). She did not care about my height (I'm 5'6" and she was 6'2"), she did not care about my ethnic background (I am African American and she was German who migrated to America), and she did not even care about our distance. Size in truth means nothing when it comes to one's ability to love and/or protect another person. I have known a few short guys, like me, who could and would jump on, take down, and put out someone much taller than them. I have personally dissuaded and turned back several bullies after I surprised them with my viciousness and combat capabilities. I am not a fighter, perse, but when I do have to fight, I am not easy to take down and I usually come out looking better than the one I am fighting.
Jaytb Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 women aren't hypocrites for wanting to date tall men. They have their preferences and they have every right to date whoever they want. If they're missing out on a good guy because he's not tall enough, it's their problem. Also, RE the Tom Cruise picture in the article, most people don't care if he's short, but he's an absolute nutball. But I think it's interesting most women go crazy over Ewan McGregor (who was opposite Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge) event though he's a shade under 5'10" (making Nicole slightly taller than him).
alphamale Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 at 6', i don't think i've ever dated a woman taller than me...does that make me a bad person? also, i think there is something to this "napolean syndrome" that some short men suffer from....in other words trying to compensate with an aggressive personality because they are 5'5"
