Will I be destined to be alone if I don't accept short men?

[MissJoness]

I don't like short men. At all. I just don't get those butterflies in my stomach like when a tall, well built man enters the room or asks me out.

 

Recently, a few short men tried to approach me and I ignored their advances. I know if I gave them a chance, I'd never be happy with them. I'd feel incomplete and always long for someone taller.

 

But I feel that if I continue to reject short men, I will be alone and never find anybody. But the idea of marrying someone not that tall doesn't excite me. I'm trying to look past this..but I can't. Cause I know I'm like every woman who wants a tall guy and not all of us can get one..

I don't buy into that crap that one would not be happy iwth someone was short, I think you will be happy, but you're thinking you could just do so much better.

 

I never heard of someone being miserable in a relationship/marriage, because they decided to go for a shorter man.

I love it when women validate my posts.

 

Thanks.

 

The only difference between you and every other woman on this forum is that you're actually honest.

 

I admire that.

[allina]

Is there anything you can improve on so that you can have your pick of men? If you want a desirable man you have to be desirable yourself.

[dreamergrl]

I bet your insecurities about your looks compared to younger women don't help your chances.

You seem so sure you wouldn't be content with all men that are short. I mean how short are we talking here??

 

I wouldn't want to date someone that is convinced they need a taller man to make them happy.

Isn't it an amazing coincidence that the only honest woman on all of loveshack just happens offer the opinion that validates your own. It couldn't be confirmation bias or anything, oh no, it's that everyone in the entire world MUST SHARE YOUR VIEWS or they are liars. Do I need to even tell you how arrogant and utterly stupid that sounds?

[doushenka]

Short men are not your problem, from what I've seen. If you are tall, it's not unreasonable to want someone closer to your height. Me, personally, I don't think I care, but it's up to you whether you want to make that part of your personal criteria.

Hey I'm 6 feet too! Ya is it enough? C'MON!

If you don't get approached by tall men, it can only mean one thing: you're not good looking enough. There is no other explanation. So to answer your question, yes, you will be destined to be alone if you don't settle for more vertically challenged guys.

 

My advice is to play in your league....your life will be much less stressful that way.

Yeah but short men do nothing for me. I have talked about cosmetic surgery; breasts implants and skin lightening. I know that will work

This is a rhetorical question and only answerable by yourself. But I would be curious as to how tall you are and what the cut off is for a potential man you'd be attracted to. Is there a gray area here or is it like a ride at Disneyland where you must be 'this tall' to ride?

[Kristine]

I have a problem with attracting white guys, I attract foreigners often. My 2nd husband was white but I really only liked him for that reason, and no one ever thought we were together and I'm a blonde blue eyed girl.

 

My date looks like a dark complected white guy, but he's not white. But I'm actually attracted to him so I'm going out with him. And as far as the short/tall guy thing. Well I attract reasonable height guys, thank God because short guys make feel insecure and I'm only 5'4".

 

You may have to accept that those are the guys attracted to you and find one you are mutually attracted to. Not all short guys are bad, I went out with a guy who was only 5'6" once but he was totally built. You may get your pick of short guys if you start hunting them down.

 

You have to adjust your standards to your appearance. I'm accepting a guy whose 44 although I'd prefer a guy whose 36 for example, and I'd prefer catholic but he's not he was foreign raised.

I'm going to get plastic surgery to get the type of man that I want the most. I will never be happy with a guy whose short. I dated one and always longed for a taller guy; he just wasn't enough.

Hallmark should make a valentines day card outta that quote. Honey, I accept you sooo much! Blech!

[mem11363]

Nothing wrong with having requirements whatever they are. So if you need 6'4" thats what you need. What is dysfunctional is that we are a dozen plus posts into this thread and you still choose to not specify your definition of "short".

 

Why?

 

No one can give you a meaningful answer until you say what you want/need. If this is how you are in RL it would tend to make people much less inclined to even try and help you after a while.

I'm sorry but it's virtually impossible for there not to be any men over your height limit that would be attracted to you and vise versa! If you don't like short men then don't date 'em. But don't tell me that everyone over some random height requirement you've lasered into your brain is out of reach.

 

Btw, the solution to your problem has absolutely nothing to do with plastic surgery.

having preferences is fine, but I've seen soo many posts from you complaining about men liking women who have a certain look or a certain age, so how is it that you complain about men having preferences but you have strong preferences yourself?

[Johnny M]

Skin lightening? Are you black? So you're gonna be like a female version of Michael Jackson?

 

Maybe you could get your short man some of those 'manlet' elevator shoes that somebody made a post about recently?

[PJKino]

I thought you were destined to be alone because you're a whackjob

THAT is your problem.

 

You don't accept yourself as you are, but you think cosmetic surgery will fix that and it won't. It can't. As soon as you finish with one procedure, you'll find some other flaw. You need to be in a place where you accept yourself under the skin before you start considering the skin itself.

For the love of god, there's already one never-ending thread on this topic!

Women you make me sick

http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t216431/

 

Why don't we just merge these height threads into one all encompassing thread called 'Insecure short guys and the women who hate them'.

 

[StalledGirl]

I love tall men but my last partner was shorter than me (i'm tall) and I loved him so...it isn't a dealbreaker.

Tall men are always attractive to me and always will be but you can't help who you feel fall. If short men are a real turn off , move to a tall country like the Netherlands:laugh:

[Peter Attis]

I'm really confused now. Is this a serious thread or is it a parody of all the other short guy threads?
