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

January 18, 2010

While the op clearly is whacked out i can symphatize with her in the sense of not attratcing people you're attracted to..

Im not an attractive Man and while iam not asking for a 9 or 10 by any means at the same time id id rather be alone then be with somebody i have no physical attraction to just because thats all i can get..

January 18, 2010

Or they're pathological liars, don't forget that one. All of the women on this forum (myself included) that have dated men 5'7" or less are just liars. Unless the 5'6" guy I was involved with for a year was lying about his height. I hadn't thought about that. Do you think he was actually 6 feet tall and I just didn't notice? Damn.

Why is it all of these women who have "no problem with height", all have boyfriends 6 feet tall and up??

I can talk about how good and holy I am because I am willing to date obese drug addicted women. But does it really mean anything if I'm married to Giselle Bundchen??

Yeah, but in the past we have, or at least I have, dated guys who are 5'7" and 5'8" and was not bothered by their heights.

Well I have to say being tall myself even if you don't mind about the height, eventually the snide remarks that you get when you go out will eventually get to you.

Its better to go out with someone who matches you. one or two inches shorter than you is ok though. As long as at least half his head is past your shoulder you should be ok

And plus there are loads of tall guys out there. You can find them more easily on dating sites!

I still go by what I've always felt...

Standards are only good if you can attain them.

So MissJones wants a tall guy, but is that it?

Tall guy is attainable. Very tall guy is harder to come by, but attainable.

Tall guy who is drop-dead gorgeous is a little more rare.

Tall guy who is drop-dead gorgeous and has a great career/income is insanely hard to come by.

I don't think plastic surgery will help MissJones if she believes the men she wants will bypass her for younger women. I think bigger boobs, or skin lightening, or lipo might more make her a fling target over anything. Meaning she'll meet guys who want to sleep with her, but not much more.

I think if MissJones is insecure and very plain Jane in looks and doesn't have much else to offer in terms of intellectual and lifestyle...then she's going to meet a lot of Average Joes who might not be as tall as she wants. We've seen the articles out there about women who want 6'3" men, but they point out how few of those are out there, and how 5'8" is the average height for most men.

If you like tall, then go for it. Lord knows I like thin and I won't date fat. It's ok to want a tall guy...just make sure there isn't a massive unrealistic laundry list that goes with tall. So you might pick a 6'2" Average Joe who works a bland office job and likes to watch movies...rather than hope for a 6'2" athlete with loads of money, excitement, and drool-worthy face.

Like you women tell us men, looks fade and beauty is only skin deep. When you focus too much on the physical, then you end up at some point being disappointed when that person ages and/or changes. Look how many men fear marrying a woman who looks great now, but they think she might blimp out after the wedding.

Don't fault yourself for wanting tall...just make sure you're not chasing an unrealistic standard, and keep the laundry list very short with "tall" at the top of the list. It's about a connection...not a trophy to admire.

January 19, 2010

I'm 6'1", very fit, well groomed / clean, w/ a symmetrical attractive face and should be very confident and I always get flustered around attractive girls.. so don't feel bad sweetie.

it's human nature to be shy. confidence is sexy.

January 19, 2010

Oooh now I feel good about myself cause I have one of these

Seriously some people just have preferences - I am really short and am totally into over 6 foot well built guys. Some guys love short girls like me, some really arent into it and think taller is better. Thats just life - I dont take it personally!

Fair point but allot of guys like short girls hieght isnt a issue for women unless theyre insanely tall

ALmost all women prefer Tall men..Theyres just not enough to go around for every women to have one..

Iam not one of these people like cognac who goes to amazign extremes and thinks short guys cant get women and were doomed but at the same time i think its selfish for people especially women to come in and say stop whining when this is a place to vent or ask questions..

Just because it doesnt effect you doesnt meam its not a valid concern and people shouldnt post about it or u should enter the post saying its a stupid thread..

AS i said i understand certian posters go overbaord and ruin it for people who just want a regualr conversation about it but lack of male height is the #1 physical delabreaker in the dating world and this is a site about dating so to say it should never be brought up just becasue it doesn effect you is selfish..

Good luck keeping a guy like that around for too long.

It's easy to have a "preference" when that "preference" is something universally attractive, like a tall guy with a lot of muscles and a lot of money ,that every woman wants. Imagine if men had a "preference" for huge natural tits, long natural blonde hair who are tall skinny women. Hey, don't take it personally torrance, it's just a preference

Okay but I don't like how all the men try to discourage women for searching for a man who is tall, drop dead gorgeous and has a lot of money. Implying that I may not be pretty enough for one. Its annoying. It seems that any woman who desires a guy like this is shot down regardless of what she looks like

January 19, 2010

saying "not bothered by their heights" is like me saying "I have no problem for brunettes, but I really go crazy for blondes"

Some men do have a preference for women like that and they get them too.

I'm already tall, and can exercise my way down to a size 0/2--all I need is the implants. But I am black so that makes it harder...but at least I can have the bodytype..

We only disocurage it if you complain about not being able to get that when maybe you arent good enough to get one

Not saying you are or arent but people usually hook up with someone on or near their level of attraciveness.. So if youre an average looking women or just cute and your holding out hope for a tall gorgeous rich man chances ar slim to none that youll get one..

January 19, 2010

No not really. I prefer the guy to be taller than me. I am 5'5", so most guys are. Whether he's 5'7" or 6' isn't all that important.

January 19, 2010

I think everyone should try to find the best mate for them. Clearly the best mate for ALL of us is someone who is tall, hot, fun to be with, rich, kind, honest and monogamous. Gee - I wonder what kind of mate THOSE people are looking for.

The post below is comical in one sense. It is purely physical and as such it addresses the lust component of the equation but not the compatibility piece. I don't doubt MJ can create a lusty reaction in her target audience. What I doubt is whether or not she can connect with them given all of her interpersonal and communication issues. True to form her focus is on fake breasts - and skin lightening - the two things that may help boost the lust quotient - the area she needs the least help in - but will do zip for her in the personality department.

On the bright side she is helping some plastic surgeon pay off school debt or take his family to Hawaii....

That really isn't true. Why do so many models marry ugly men? Beyonce is with Jay Z, and he's not classically handsome. Alicia Keys is with a man who is short and not classically handsome either. I rarely see two really good looking ppl together anyway. Usually one person is not as attractive

Because those guys are rich and famous..

Usually people are with somebody somewhere near their level of attraction..

Its a a shame only amazingly good looking guys are your type..

Though i dont think its all your atrtracted to but you feel somrobdy likekthat would validate your existence..

I wish you were a troll, but unfortunately I know so many women like you in real life it's pretty likely you are being serious.

As a man I will say this who people claim are so "visual", investing so much into physical appearance of yourself or another person is just sad. It's the symptoms of an empty person who can only form the most shallow relationships possible with other people.

Being a black woman will hurt you in the dating game, just like all those Asian males you would never date. It's not politically correct, but it's the truth.

Have fun being an empty and flat human , eternally chasing an ideal you will probably never be able to fulfill no matter how many surgeries or how many hours you put into the gym. There are plenty of perfectly good guys who I'm sure you could be attracted to if you just had realistic expectations of other people and I guarantee you would be happy with.

What's so wrong with investing a lot into your appearance? Typically when men see wmoen who are very super hot they usually flirt with them and give them a lot of attention. Yet when you strive to look like this ppl call you shallow, vain and empty. I dont get it. Its nice to get noticed and told you look great when you go out. And I haven't met any men who are not shallow. Over 90% of men are visual and very shallow. I've talked about this before. If you aren't dressed sexy in some way its hard to get men to notice you

Yes we all want that Tall hot guy but sometimes life isnt perfect

I dated a very sweet guy who was only 5'10 maybe 5'11 at most and he was great and i learned to eventually love him even though he was short

You can never predict who youre gonna fall in love with

Sure, women who are very 1 dimensional and hot are great to try to get into bed for sport, but most men aren't going to want anything else to do with you, particularly the men you are seeking. I would never want to date the kind of woman I would meet at a bar who is obviously extremely vain.

Men are not as shallow as society says. If a man thinks your appearance is passable and feels remote attraction to you, you are most likely in if your personality is good. There are so few women who have a personality and kindness beyond the stereotypical bottle blonde paper thin and flat woman who is the rule nowadays, that a woman with even an OK personality will do. Trust me on this, we men don't care how tall or short you are, what hair color you have, how big your boobs are, don't care how well we "fit" (women use this stupid term a lot and it is pure nonesense) we generally value stability and a woman who will stick around through thick and thin and just accept us for good and bad. The only physical dealbreaker really is obesity. And I'm not like some of the women here, saying this while Giselle Bundchen massages my back, I really do date and seek women like this, "plain janes" with sweet personalities, but unfortunately they are so few and never single.

The racial thing could be a barrier for many men, but the solution is to date men within your race.

OP can you be any more shallow?

I would rather have a short man that treats me like a queen than a tall guy that has no idea how to treat a lady.

And there you go. This really is all that needs to be said about this thread, however ridiculous it may be.

And I'm 5'6". My ex-gf was 5'10" and easily 6' in heels and we were together for 2 1/2 years. So my height has never really been a hindrance to me. Unless I'm at a concert.
