I bought a pair of manlet shoes online

[dreamergrl]

Usually, it's to hide acne and other skin imperfections.

 

Eye make up doesn't do that generally. Nor does lip gloss or lip stick.

[mbeewood]

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..

 

I personally find that kind of hilarious. 5'7 is 4.3% shorter than average

 

4.3%

 

That's nothing. And yet it's so much to women. What the ****?

[mbeewood]

Good luck with that, manlet. Wearing those shoes is sort of like a girl wearing a stuffed bra. Looks good at first, but when it comes off, you are highly disappointed.

 

Whatever, at 5'9 is still taller than like 95% of women, I have no idea how a woman could be 'dissapointed' by a guys height when he's taller than her. By the way, so many girls say things like "I need a guy 5 inches taller than me so he's taller when I wear heels." Well how about you just get the guy to wear height boosting shoes whenever you wear heels?

[dreamergrl]

I think it's all in your head that it means so much to women. How many responses have been posted that women aren't obsessed with height? Yet how posts keep getting started about height, by those who are obsessed with the idea of not being tall enough?

I shouldn't really care since my height is above average anyway, but superficial is superficial - and no matter how you spin it it's unnatractive. I have literally stopped talking to a girl cold because she told me she dumped a guy she had been dating for six months because a guy 4 inches taller (making him 5'9") came along. She was very frustrated. Most girls are not like this, but there are always a few bad apples.

 

It all evens out in the end, karma does come around in more ways than one.

[Sith Apprentice]

Did you try out the shoes yet? I'm curious to know the results of your experiment.

[EcstasyX6]

Theryes more girs like megan out there then you think..I undertsand preference but i never understood womens WORSHIP of height makes no sense to me..Its goofy

 

I can undertand easier the girls who want tall guys over 6 feet and have that fetish to be dominated and tretated like therye 5 year olds and theyre man is daddy all over again..I have more problems with girls whod dismiss a man who a few inches off their height preference..

 

So then is it goofy when a huge percentage of men worship a woman who wear a size 6, when the average female in the US is a size 14, or 'overweight'? What type of woman do you prefer? Should someone call you goofy because of your preference that you can no more help than your favorite type of food?

 

I know I'll never be a size 6, and I don't give a f---- about men who don't like women my size. I know I'm sexy, and have never had a problem meeting nice attractive, and yes tall men. Shoot me...I prefer tall men, but I wouldn't ignore a nice man who wasn't over 6 feet. My STBX is 5'10", and we actually fit together quite nicely in the br. I'm 5'6".

 

Men who are not tall, need to come to an acceptance about themselves and realize there are plenty of women out there who will date them.

 

OP-

Begin with changing your name. Betamanlet?? WTF! Have you read the attitude in Alphamale's posts? YEAH! I mean, I don't always agree with him, but he's got tude big time. You are defining yourself negatively in advance. Why not give yourself a positive name at least? This all starts with the stories you're telling yourself.

[Sam Spade]

Women are repulsed by ANYTHING that reminds them of themselves. They all have low self esteem, and insecurities, about anything, reminds them of themselves, and completely turns them off.

 

ha! Very interesting. You might be onto something here.

Settle down as i said everyone can have preferences but women who over a few incehs wouldnt give somebody a chance to me is goofy

 

I prefer a somewgat cute girl nothing more nothing leas i have no strict prefrences that i will not date under an ycirucmstances

 

Yes some guys have size preferences but the majority i know dont want stick figures and dont mind curves as long as the girls not fat

 

Lack of height is by far the #1 dealbreaker in the dating world..

My first bf was the same height as me, a few inches shorter when I wore heals it was in no way a deterrent for me, we had a great physical/emotional connection regardless of his "height".

[EcstasyX6]

OK. Call me whatever...I stopped dating a guy who was 5'3" because of his height.(I'm 5'6") Yes, I admit it. It was truly my problem, but I couldn't help it. I felt just weird towering over him, especially with heels on.

 

His current gf is petite and blonde and taller than him as well. You see, he didn't have any trouble finding someone else because he's full of confidence. He said that I'm the first girl he dated who had a problem with his height. All I'm saying is, people can't help their natural attraction for the opposite sex whatever it is, so don't judge people for it. You can't tailor yourself to suit everyone's needs. There will always be someone who you'll disappoint.

[TheLoneSock]

Hahaha, I think what you meant to say was: "There will always be people out there who desire something else."

[EcstasyX6]

It's late and my brain is a little mushy...yeah, that's what I meant. Lol.

Eye make up doesn't do that generally. Nor does lip gloss or lip stick.

Eye makeup and lip gloss exaggerate a woman's natural features (i.e. making eyes look larger and lips more defined). Elevator shoes exaggerate a man's natural height. Same concept, from the logical standpoint (although not from the standpoint of social acceptance, obviously).

You seriously think that making eyes look slightly larger is on the same level as changing something like your height?

 

To walk in the shoes of some of the people on here, I would give a lot...

If I ever found myself in your shoes I'd march your ass right over to my house.

Exagerating secondary gender differences is essential, because a sweaty, unshaven woman with no make up is virtually identical to a man (except for the dick, that is).

 

Which begs the question why the hell do men waste so much time and resources in pursuing marginally polished versions of themselves .

Hope you don't wear manlets.

You gotta bite that stuff - like a cheeseburger .

Oh, this body needs no manlets. In fact you'll find me at my best when I'm stark naked.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't do it. What I am saying is that there is nothing inherently wrong with a man trying to exaggerate his height if you factor out societal biases. The reason why it's okay for women to wear makeup, high heels, padded bras and booty lifting jeans is because women have been doing it for a long time, so it's considered 'normal'. If it was common practice for men to wear elevator shoes, no one would associate them with insecurity.

 

Keep in mind that I'm 6'2, so I don't have a horse in this fight. I'm just looking at this issue from the standpoint of simple logic. Here's another example. Today, most people still scoff at the idea of breast implants. However, if someone figures out a way to make breast implants that do not cause health complications and look and feel like real boobs, pretty much every mammarially challenged woman will get them and breast implants will become 100% socially acceptable.

People are getting much taller which tells you shorter people are lesesning

That's not logically possible, since shortness is a relative measurement. By definition, ~50% of people will always be shorter than the median no matter what height the population reaches as a whole. As women also increase in height, so too will the bar be raised for what constitutes a "tall" man. In evolution, this is (ironically) known as a race to the bottom because the process doesn't benefit (and can even harm) the species.

Different day, same old....

[tryagaintoday]
