D-Jam Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I say all the men unite and give some love to those taller women who don't have many options for taller men. Ms 6-foot woman who feels like no one will want her...shower her with attention guys.

Cabernet34 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I don't really see the point of the OP's post. She wants a taller man, can't really tolerate someone her height or shorter. No biggie.... we all have our hangups. I guess she's looking for feedback and not advice. I'm 5'8" and definately want a girl that is shorter than me or my height at the most. Just preference. Don't need to be told whether that is OK or not because it is just a preference of mine. Now what I think is super shallow, is to say, "I'm 5-4, but must have somebody over 6 ft." That is rediculious to me. JMO. I have no issues with preferring that your partner is shorter than you or taller than you....... but to demand that they are a certain height, ie, 6 inches taller than you, is being overly selective in my opinion. PS. I was way tall as a kid. In seventh grade, I was 5'8". Since then I have not grown and inch, still 5'8" (in my mid 30's!). Given everything I've said, I sure would like to be a couple of inches taller
Green Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Oh its times like this when I enjoy the fact that I grew up to be a man of 6'3... in fact I really wish I was 6'5 there is something so cool about being super tall except when it comes to airplanes and hatchback cars and sitting in the back seat. Now because I'm 6'3 women are rarely ever taller and I'll admit being tall comes in really handy with the ladies... but I've always been curious if I could still get women as easily if I were 5'7 or something like that... well my hats off to the guys who do it, but seriously I think the height thing can be overcome if you build attraction some other way.
Author Hi Powered Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 The point of my post is that i want to know other peoples opinions on height. I am pleased to hear that more then a few women and men share my views. Now i feel less shallow. Taller men stand taller. They have more confidence and therefore are closer to that alpha male we all seek.
pniggy12 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 i Agree no one should be told who your attracted too , height either it be short or tall can not be altered .. If your fat you can diet , don't like you looks try plastic surgery , think you need bigger boobs get a boob job appearently now you can even get an ass job .... if your to tall or to short nothing can be done My self i don't care if she's 3'11 or 6'4 big or small boobs realy doesn't matter i would never judge on any aspect but there has to be an initial attraction , and that is primal and must run it's coarse
Isolde Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 It's true what Ruby Slippers said--men reject women all the time based on looks, often not even asking her for a first date based on how she looks. Honestly, many women don't want to be in a serious relationship with a short guy because they fear, on a subconscious level, their kids would be short. (This is especially true of like a 5'2 girl dating a 5'5 guy, for example). And also, many women like feeling protected, but a guy doesn't have to be tall for that, just at least her height, and heavier/bulkier than her. At just a hair over 5'4", I tend to go for guys anywhere between 5'8 and 6'0, but I would not set specific criteria...thats stupid. I don't like guys that are overly muscular or "rugged," but I've always appreciated a visible height difference. I don't think having preferences is shallow--there are lots of people on this earth with DIFFERENT preferences, and I truly believe there's room for most everyone to find a partner they're attracted to.

Let the short guy go so he can be appreciated by a women that doesn't have the same requirement. Problem solved.
D-Jam Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Shallow to me is when you only put priority on the physical and financial. When you only care if said person looks hot and/or has money. Frankly, height is one of those things that can't be fixed...so it's not like being fat where you can lose weight. I don't knock anyone who wants certain physical qualities in a mate...provided those qualifications give them good options. The time I say someone is "unrealistic" is when their qualifications basically rule out most of the populace of single people. When they lament on how they can't find a decent man or woman, but yet there are loads of said decent ones...but they don't fit every single qualification on their list. I said it before I'm not attracted to large women, but if I lived on an island of 1000 people, and every single female on the island weighed 300lbs or more, then I have three options: Change up my standards, find a large woman I can be attracted to, and fall in love, ORStay single and alone til I die...and hold the opinion that I don't want anyone in my life, ORLook outside of the island, and eventually move to where I can meet women I'd want.

What's your point? Short kids...woopty doo.
Isolde Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 So what if their kids would be short? What's your point? Short kids...woopty doo. I'm not saying it's a conscious decision, but it does figure in--just like men's preferences for small noses, full lips and big eyes figures in what they consider attractive. How much it matters depends entirely on the individual. When it comes to love, that obviously takes precedence. I'm taking a more theoretical standpoint here. It's just the same way most men would rather date a smart, kind Barbie doll than a smart, kind woman with no curves and a big nose. There are some men who would rather have the latter, but most would rather have the Barbie.
kizik Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Look - I am a short guy, and to be honest, it just hurts my feelings coming on here and seeing a bunch of women say they wouldn't be attracted to me. I think if you got to know me, or many short guys for that matter, we would win you over with our humor, charm, and intelligence. I just think people can be really cruel and demeaning with their preferences. Like D-Jam said, height cannot be altered - it's not like being overweight. So, we shorties need to learn to accept ourselves, and all you tall people out there need to try to accept us too.
Isolde Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Look - I am a short guy, and to be honest, it just hurts my feelings coming on here and seeing a bunch of women say they wouldn't be attracted to me. I think if you got to know me, or many short guys for that matter, we would win you over with our humor, charm, and intelligence. I've liked several short guys. The guy who rejected me the worst was around 5'7 or 5'8. Ohh and I once met this really handsome guy in a bar that can't have been more than 5'6 . He was gorgeous, but too drunk.
Yamaha Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I do think the short kids thing is shallow. It says that short people have a defect and shouldn't reproduce. You should have let it go with having a preference for taller guys because now you have shown your A**.
Bells Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 This is funny, I saw a woman online that's only 5'4", and she said she only will date about 6'2" and SHORT men are a major turn off for her. So lame.
kizik Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah but Bells, you're pissed off at women in general. You gotta get that in check. Every day you have a new thread about how lame certain women are. I would try to relax a bit.
Gremio Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 For my part, I'm over it - the problem is all the superficial people with types out there. THEY need to get over it. I don't believe it's superficial to not be attracted to a certain type of person. Sure it's only looking at the outside, and what matters is what is on the inside, but in the end you must have both or the relationship very well may not work. As others have said, some women here dated shorter men. They loved them, but in the back of their minds it ate at them. I don't see being 5"7' as a bad thing for a man. Most women I see are right around 5"3'.
kizik Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ...in the back of their minds it ate at them. Yes, and I see this equally as superficial as dating a woman and wishing her boobs were bigger, and getting resentful because of this wish. How would it feel to find that out, ladies, that your beau wished your chest was bigger but never said anything? My guess is it would be a bit demeaning and/or upsetting to know that.
S.T.C Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 No wonder no one listens to me, and now I understand why I am unsuccessful: I am short and ugly! Why do you use women as a measurement of you? I couldn't careless if most women found me too short, too ugly or whatever, the chances are I am superior to these people anyway. There's so much more to life than women, if I never have another woman again I couldn't careless, there's always porn and in my experience masturbation has been better than any sex I have had with a woman. Women should be a very small part of a man's life, there's so much more to life.
D-Jam Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah but Bells, you're pissed off at women in general. You gotta get that in check. Every day you have a new thread about how lame certain women are. I would try to relax a bit. I agree. I will admit I used to be just as frustrated as he comes off as here. I was rejected many times over by many women simply because I wasn't good looking enough, not exciting enough, not wealthy enough, or just didn't "wow" them fast enough to make the "chemistry" happen. It's again why I backed off it all and treated dating less as a priority in life and more as a side thing. I worked to make myself happy in life by myself and not depend on the idea that I'll find a good woman and such. I tell it to all men and women out there who deal with the frustration of never being seen as "good enough" for members of the opposite sex. You could spend your life being bitter, or spend your life living it and enjoying it. Life's too short to get all angry about this love stuff. Better to walk around and be happy in life with you, and let the ones who reject you see what they tossed away in the long run. Believe me...seeing how many women who rejected me are worse off now than before...I imagine some of them have some regret.
Isolde Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I do think the short kids thing is shallow. It says that short people have a defect and shouldn't reproduce. You should have let it go with having a preference for taller guys because now you have shown your A**. Nonononono I was saying that GIRLS SUBCONSCIOUSLY THINK THEY WOULD HAVE SHORT KIDS AND IT BOTHERS THEM AT THE BACK OF THEIR MIND. You might not think I'm pretty, or your "type," and I couldn't change that, but it wouldn't make you an a**, and it wouldn't mean I had a defect.
S.T.C Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Isolde, your example to try and defend your claim is futile and fruitless at best. If women want to date taller men, go for it, I don't need a Black Widow injecting me with their venom and causing me harrowing nausea and necrosis. (I sound like Bells).
Isolde Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 What the heck, why is everyone pouncing on me? You guys know you wouldn't date certain girls, and all I said was that I liked some short guys but would prefer an average height guy if I could choose my ideal guy. For all I know I"ll end up with a short guy. Don't be so harsh people... For example you might think I'm ugly as hell and not want your kids to be ugly... I wouldn't be offended if you rejected me nicely because I know the next guy will dig me.
S.T.C Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Do you not understand sarcasm? Though my comparison of the average woman and the black widow is something I meant and FYI, I don't want to marry a woman or have children. So, no I don't look at a woman and say "I wouldn't want to have sex with her and reproduce an "ugly baby", I think "damn, I'd sex her slow, with a few rounds of ale pumping through my blood". I don't dig women, I find them an endless amount of pain, humiliation and torture, I wish I was gay thanks to women. >P
Anastasia0309 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yes! Don't be so hard on Isolde. I feel the exact same way as you Isolde. I mean to me short is 5'2. LOL. I was in love with a short man (5'2) but now moving forward I would just prefer someone who is a little taller. If anyone else wants to judge me or anyother girl for that then so be it! One more thing, I don't consider 5'7 short. Well, at least for me it's not cause I'm 5'2 and I usually am more attracted to men who are around 5'4-5'8. I think cause my dad and brother's are all around that height but yeah you can't judge someone just cause they have a preference. I also would rather be with someone who is Catholic rather then anyother religion. Is that a problem? If it is then Oh Well!
