[SierraRose]

i think i'll get me a penile extension that will take me well beyond 9 inches. i'll let you guys know how it works out soon as i get a female to try it out on

 

:lmao::lmao:

Many things are irrelevant if you are over 6 feet tall. I guarantee the OP will notice a marked difference in the attention women give him. Who cares if it's not for the "real him", the women who won't be able to accept his real height are superficial trash (and he'll be able to hump and dump them) and the women who initially wouldn't have given him a chance but got to know his personality because of his height will stay, it's win win.

 

Yep, the women who can't accept his real height (like he can't do himself) are superficial trash. But the ones who wouldn't have accepted him at his real height without him faking it are winners he should keep around. Not superficial trash at all. Makes total sense to me.

 

Men being tall isn't sexy to women?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!

 

It is probably the sexiest physical trait of all according to the majority of women.

 

Confidence is sexier than height, especially when we're talking about faked height. Fact is that it's not a social norm for men to wear heels to make themselves look taller. It's not sexy.

 

I think the comparison to women using inserts to look like a D is a good one. A guy probably would have liked the girl with the B's, but the false advertising is unattractive and makes her look insecure with what she's got.

But you cant deny for whtever goofy reason women have mens height is the most desirable physical trait and biggets delabreaker in the dating world so i wouldnt totally kill a guy for being a little insecure its part of life..

Of course, height is a big factor. I've met more than one woman with a height requirement. But I've also seen that "height requirement" broken when the woman meets a slightly shorter man who she really likes. So, it's not the most important factor. If it were, this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bao_Xishun would be rolling in p*ssy.

 

I can understand why I guy would be insecure about it and want to make himself look taller. I just don't think it's going to help, especially when the shoes have to come off at some point. *picturing a guy doing it with shoes on* He's more likely to get teased or laughed at, which could make him more insecure (when 5'9" is nothing to be insecure about).

 

I can see wanting to do it as a goof/social experiment. But since I've never seen a guy wear them, I'm not sure if it would work. It might be obvious that they're lifts.

Human beings are shallow, both men and women (won't get into an argument about who's more) and while having a great personality will keep the girl by your side, it won't get your foot in the door. Being tall will.

 

Of course you, like every woman on these forums, are the enlightened exceptions who would never judge a man's sexual attractiveness ("chemisty") by his height However, in the real world, I don't see the problem in getting a woman who you perfectly match with by wearing a little cosmetic addition to your overall package.

 

I think your biggest fear to be honest is falling in love with a man who is not as tall as you originally thought!

It's easy to say "confidence is sexy" when the guys women talk about as confident are generally physically attractive and successful. No matter how confident dan akroyd or danny devito are (which they obviously are as they are both ugly short guys who have the balls to go out there and star along side the typical hearthrobs), you will never be sexually attracted to them (of course sans their money and fame).

The male view between B's and D's isn't a dealbreaker, height usually is for women, even if the guy is otherwise perfect. Don't even argue this with me, every shorter guy on this forum will attest to it. Were we all born "unconfident" or "negative"? Or are we just being realistic about woman's undeniable STRONG preference (bordering on obsession, or is obession) with a man being tall?

Actually, it's great you bring this up, as BAO has a wife, a normal wife who is 168 cm! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10431350

 

And this is considering by most definitions that Bao is a "freak" who is almost 8 feet tall.

 

Does the world's SHORTEST man have a wife? How about the world's second shortest man? In fact, what about the average guy under 5'6?!

 

If anything using Bao as an example is proof that even a guy 8 feet tall has a better chance of finding a wife (who isn't even gigantic like him) than a normal guy who is 5'3.

 

I can understand why I guy would be insecure about it and want to make himself look taller. I just don't think it's going to help, especially when the shoes have to come off at some point. *picturing a guy doing it with shoes on* He's more likely to get teased or laughed at, which could make him more insecure (when 5'9" is nothing to be insecure about).

It's worth a shot. And I bet he's going to score with women a lot more.

 

A short guy can do one of two things. Sit around waiting for a woman who "will accept me no matter what" that is 300 lbs, of low intelligence, and quite unattractive, or wear the lifts and inrease his chances of finding a wife who is like he is but wouldn't have given him a shot without the lifts.

 

I can see wanting to do it as a goof/social experiment. But since I've never seen a guy wear them, I'm not sure if it would work. It might be obvious that they're lifts.[/Quote]

 

I disagree, when I used to wear lifts nobody noticed, except women who would ask me if I got a haircut or something. And these were modest lifts (1 and a half inch which made me 5'8 1/2, which is still short in the eyes of women). If I were to wear lifts that make me 6 feet tall I know for a fact i'd be taking a new woman to bed every night.

[crazy_grl]

I'm sorry you're so negative and have such little confidence and such a low opinion of women, cognac. The things you say are not accurate. If they were, no woman would date any guy below 6' 3". Your beliefs about the opposite sex border on insane.

I think women just say the politically correct thing, especially in an anonymous setting like this one. To pretend women don't notice a man's height in the dating equation is the same as saying men don't notice if a woman is overweight in the dating equation (Although women notice body type too). It's living in a bubble.

 

What can a man do if his height is holding him back from success with women, a vital part of the human experience and happiness? He can wear special shoes that increase his height. It's vain, it's dumb, and sure we wouldn't do it if the difference wasn't so dramatic, but unfortunately we live in a vain and dumb world and you can either play the game or sit on the bench watching all the tall guys get all the girls, as we shorter than average guys have seen our whole lives.

 

WHy don't you walk a mile in our shoes (without the lifts ) before going on with all your feel good comments about how only confidence and sense of humor and other abstract concepts are the only thing that matter. Comments like that are just annoying and patronizing , I am curious if you even live by this yourself. (doubt it)

Oh i agree cognac goes to extremes. Especially when hes 5'9 which is average and fine

 

Im 5'7 1/2 not exactly great height

 

I dont kill ymself over it but its not only the biggest dealbreaker in the datign world its the ine thgn soeody cant fix

 

A women can put the twinike down and lose weight or get implants..

Oh ok

 

Thats not midget size but its short and probably takes half of the dating pool away from the jump unfortunately

 

Why not take a chance and enhance your chances instead of listenig to allot of flfuf and patronzing that maybe a few women out of 100 will not like your shortness but look past it and at your great personality..

[TheLoneSock]

that are supposed to make me 3.2" taller. According to that, I should stand over 6'1. I'll let you know if there's any greater female interest in me.

 

I'm against any kind of falsification of someones looks. Women dye their hair, wear pushup bras, wear high heels, cake on makeup, inject themselves with botox, and account for most of the plastic surgery done in the US (breast implants, lipo, tucks, lifts). It's all falsification and pretty pathetic IMO.

 

That said, a guy wearing elevation shoes is no different. Women are much more guilty than men of falsification of their looks, but this is rediculous just the same.

 

It all falls into the same category of deception in the hopes of attraction.

[crazy_grl]

That makes no sense. People are more likely to be politically correct just for the sake of it when they're NOT anonymous. Have you ever considered that, while there are shallows hos, that maybe not all women are and women here say what they do because this forum just happens to be a place that draws those kinds of women? Perhaps because women here put more thought into dating and relationships.

 

To pretend women don't notice a man's height in the dating equation is the same as saying men don't notice if a woman is overweight in the dating equation

 

I've never made that claim. Noticing and placing it as all-important are 2 different things. I'm also going to notice the color of a guy's shirt, but that's not going to make or break him.

 

I am curious if you even live by this yourself. (doubt it)

 

I don't even know what you mean by this. If you mean that I don't sit around and let myself be angry and bitter about things I can't change, then yes, I do. I also don't sit around looking for excuses that put the blame on other people as to why they don't like me.

 

Anway, without even trying, I can think of 4 guys I used to be completely crazy about in the past that were probably 5' 6" - 5' 8" but who weren't interested in dating me for one reason or another. The guy I recently was dating for the last 2 years was "only" 5' 9". The guy I dated for 9 months before that was only a couple inches taller than me, maybe 5' 7" or so. Actually, really thinking about it, I've only dated 3 guys over 6' tall. I've dated mostly men around 5' 7" to 5' 9".

 

But that doesn't matter. You won't believe me or anyone else. You're convinced that your failing is your height, the same way that my roommate is convinced men don't like her because she's too tall. You both have the same issue. Your belief is irrational, but you'll grasp onto anything that will help you hold onto it and treat it as though it's a fact. I've spent years trying to help her, so I know how fruitless attempts like that can be.

 

Please get some counseling, cognac.

[carhill]

In heels, my mom was taller than my dad and probably weighed nearly what he did (he was small-framed); he was an accountant and she was a clothier and model when they met, during the much more 'traditional' period after WW2. Still, interestingly enough, she saw something in him which didn't have to do with what a scale or yardstick said. Go figure

 

Back then, men wore suits to parties and women wore cashmere sweaters and torpedo bras and hair and makeup to the nines. You can clearly see their style in the picture of the two year old in my avatar, which is me. Still, somehow, it worked out. One datapoint

[NopeNah]

I'm 5'11(in flip flops) and I've "considered" getting something similar just for fun to wear to bars and clubs..let me know how you like them.

[dreamergrl]

So OP.. what will you do when you get yourself these girls, and eventually they find out you are not that tall, and they start giggling because you wore these silly shoes? You know, like if you ever get them home with you, and you take your shoes off? Or maybe you'll just wear them to bed

 

I'd so date a guy who was 5 feet 7 wearing NORMAL shoes before I'd date a guy who is faking his height with shoes.

[Citizen Erased]

You're not even short, what the hell?

[Johnny M]

No offense, but if I found out a guy was wearing lifts I'd just think he was insecure and vain.

Hey, we live in the age of equality...women no longer have a monopoly on looks-related insecurities As stupid as these platform shoes sound, it's really no different than push up bras, booty lifting jeans, and various other shape-enhancing female accessories.

I agree with this, even though it was written by a crazy grl!

 

I'm 24, and the females I know don't care about height (normal, attractive, fun women). They want men who make them smile, laugh, who care about them and who they have chemistry with. I'm 5ft 7, my boyfriend is 5ft 6 and I'm head over heels for him! His height has never been an issue.. He doesn't feel like less of a man, and I don't feel like the butch one. So please stop tarring us all with the same brush... It's like saying all men want a thin woman when, if you ask a good portion, you'll find a lot prefer curves and softness. It's just that your insecurity is such a big part of you that the portion that like tall men cancel out all the women who aren't bothered.

We are out there, you just seem to be magnetised to the shallow ones.. Please recognise your positive points and use them to attract women, accept your height and don't see it as a negative. You are taller than the average woman! and being your height makes kissing so much easier..

 

Let us know how the experiment goes though, hope you can walk in them okay and they're not like heels... especially after drinking!

But men like it when our booty looks good and our breast look perky. Find me a girl that likes guys who wear shoes to add on inches.

 

Besides.. as far as bras go, we need different type of bras for different types of shirts. Some girls are limited on what types of bras are available depending on their breast size as well. You don't see many A or B cups with a smaller band size without padding these days.

[Johnny M]

Yeah, but when the shape enhancing wardrobe comes off....talk about a huge disappointment. Personally, I think that finding out that the girl you brought home has a saggy @ss and is as flat as a washboard is far more traumatizing than learning that your male date is a coupe of inches shorter than you thought he was (although I'm sure some women would disagree).

That's only because women with A and B cups don't want unpadded bras. Supply and demand.

Just because a women wears enhancing under garments doesn't mean their butt is sagging and they have no tits. We just choose to show them off.

 

If you don't like the girls assets don't date them. Just as if a girl doesn't like OP's height, she can pass on him.

 

I'm happy with my sizes and I accept myself for who I am.

 

As far as more traumatizing.. Knowing a guy isn't comfortable with his own height is a huge turn off. A huge sign of insecurity.

 

It's also the reasoning behind WHY you are using something to enhance yourself.

[Johnny M]

Just because a women wears enhancing under garments doesn't mean their butt is sagging and they have no tits.

Unfortunately, it often does. Take my word for it.

 

As far as more traumatizing.. Knowing a guy isn't comfortable with his own height is a huge turn off. A huge sign of insecurity.

That's exactly right....as is the case with women who wear enhancing undergarments because they are hugely insecure about the size and shape of their T&A.

[cognac]

Yes I hope dreamergirl doesn't wear makeup either, it shows you're insecure about your facial features. Or change her hair color, it shows you're insecure with your natural hair color. I can go on forever, 90% of what you see in a woman is not real, yet a man is "insecure" and "fake" for wearing a shoe with some extra inches?

[Isolde]

Wow, the OP needs to get over himself. 5'10" is nowhere near short.

[johan]

It's pretty hard to have much respect for a guy who wears "lifted" shoes as a way to appear taller. And I like women to wear makeup and high heels and nice clothes. If that makes me a hypocrite, that's fine. But don't wear your special shoes around me, cognac, because I'll be laughing at you. I might even point.
