OpenGL Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I am find that most women who wants a guy that is taller than them... thats why I usually go for women who are 5'2 and under (I am 5'7). But I am really at a loss when I see things like this: About me im 4"11, yes im a short verythick, not fat..i carry my weight very well *she posted her pic, shes fat You- handsome car and own place 5'8-6'2ft tall So yeah, I don't get it. Do I need to go for women 4'10 and under? I looked at wikipedia and 4'10 is technically dwarfism (even for a woman). Does this mean because I am 5'7 that I am restricted to dating dwarfs? Serious question.
WalkInThePark Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 You need to go for a woman who YOU find attractive, and hopefully she will also find you attractive. Not all women want a guy who is at least 5'11 (1,80m). Small women have to know their place = they are in general considered less attractive than a woman of medium height. If on top of that they are fat, they are even lower in the picking order. I am a bit smaller than 5'7 (1,69m) and I don't mind dating a guy who is the same height as myself. I wouldn't date a guy who is or looks smaller than myself but as long as he is handsome and attractive I would consider him.
kassy Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Go for a girl you like and see how it goes... 5'7 is hardly excessively short - why limit yourself at all.
SilentVoice Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I am like 5'8 .... and the last guy I was talking to was 5'7. Why do people limit themselves?
elysium23 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 5'7 is not short! The only thing I care about when it comes to height is that the guy is either my height or taller than me. I think most women would feel the same way (although some don't even care at all). Since the average height for women is 5'4, you meet that requirement for most women (to be the same height or taller). So there really is no reason to limit yourself. Your height is fine.
Els Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'm 5'1", the bf is 5'7" and it feels perfect to me. I suspect most women will tell you that you're fine, they have no problem with 5'7" guys, that most women who are less than 5'6" and with half a functioning brain wouldn't mind your height. But I suspect you will ignore all of these and believe what you want to, based on your previous posts. :/
USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 The height you need to go for...? 5' 7" (or even 5' 8") and below... I think society's whole obsession with height, especially among men, has a lot to do with increase in online dating...this is because women will often list their height "preferences" in their profiles...and it's just a way to narrow down the dating pool that is heavily skewed in favor of women as it is while getting their "ideal man"...and in the case of online dating, women are able to make these sorts of "demands" while still having plenty of potential suitors coming to their doorstep... Height for women is no different from large breasts and a nice ass for men...it's certainly something we'd like to see in a potential mate, but if the person we do find and are truly interested in doesn't necessarily possess these ideal qualities, it isn't going to make us leave them...they are just nice to have, but certainly not a requirement... Hahah, imagine if you put bra size as a requirement in your dating profile... It's essentially the same idea as height... In my limited experience, height has never been a factor for me...and I'm 5' 8" on a good day...
Engadget Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I like a girl to be short, just my preference. I've rarely found tall women attractive, that being like 6' and over.
xRJ85x Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I'm guilty of serious height standards lol. I'm 6'2. I don't restrict to, but I really prefer girls 5'7 and above. I'd like to avoid the neck and back injuries that come with keeping up with a short girl.
Author OpenGL Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 But I suspect you will ignore all of these and believe what you want to, based on your previous posts. :/ Why do I need to believe what I want when I read the kind of stuff that I posted in my OP everyday? It's not like I make my own opinions up, I read them from the women themselves.
sweetjasmine Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I am like 5'8 .... and the last guy I was talking to was 5'7. Why do people limit themselves? Because they think there's a Book of Rules that you absolutely must follow if you want to get laid. God forbid you look at people as, well, y'know, human beings instead of products who meet your checklist requirements.
Peaceful Guy Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Ladies, what height do I need to go for? i think you should grow until you're 6'2" and then STOP immediately.. that would be perfect..

Ok, you're an inch under the random number she made up when she had to post height details - big deal! Dates aren't amusement park rides (well.. not unless you have a REALLY good night ) - she's not going to break out the measuring stick when you meet up and say "Sorry, you must be *this* tall to ride." I seriously think you're holding yourself back for very silly reasons. Don't count yourself out before even trying!

Rorschach Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 So have all the posts by women in this thread served to convince you of anything? Of course not! This is openGL after all, he's the victim of a giant feminist conspiracy to prevent him from ever being happy and nothing he sees/hears will ever convince him otherwise. Oh woe it is to be openGl!
Kaplan Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Um, didn't you know that the shortest women always go for the tallest guys? I thought everyone knew that. Anyway, I think you should just get a horse with arms and legs attached to it like Lord Farchwad from Shrek. Seriously though, you're worrying about this way too much.
EricaH329 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Does it really matter what we say? Is it really going to make a difference? If you spent half as much time trying to change your attitude, as you do thinking negatively and posting about it here on LS... I bet you'd have much better luck finding someone. And for the record, this stuff about height is getting really old. You already know what we are going to say. Women are usually happy with dating someone their height or taller. If dwarfs can find partners, why is someone who is 5'7 having such a hard time? Attitude perhaps?

Yamaha Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Seems like the shorter the girl is , the taller the guy she's holding out for. So true...... Short women want a tall guy so they can stand out as a couple. Makes up for her being short. Go figure......
Eeyore79 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I am 5ft 7, and I used to date a guy who was also 5ft 7. His height was not the reason why we broke up. I will however say that if you're not tall you need to be in good shape. Tall guys can carry a bit of extra weight, but shorter guys just look like a little fat barrel if they gain weight.
Eeyore79 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Yes, I will admit that I find tall guys more physically attractive. But I would date a shorter guy if he was attractive in other ways, and in fact I have dated shorter guys in the past. If you're shorter then you're not getting the plus points for being tall, so you have to make up for that by being great in other ways.
USMCHokie Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I will however say that if you're not tall you need to be in good shape. Tall guys can carry a bit of extra weight, but shorter guys just look like a little fat barrel if they gain weight. This definitely helps, but to an extent...the shorter guys really have to be careful not to gain so much muscle mass that they become pumpkin shaped...to be honest, although they'd probably be in very good shape, it's not a very attractive look...
Enema Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 openGL I can solve your problems right here and now. Click Here openGL This site is dedicated to shoes that increase your height by having concealed heels. Wear these shoes to gain an extra 5.5". You will officially be over 6 foot. You're welcome.
Rorschach Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 With all this talk of short/tall lately (which I still believe to be completely bull shat excuses on you guy's part haha) I looked up average height in the US. Did you know that average height is only 5'10"? I guess that makes me tall, huh I never knew. Still what woman is shallow enough to go off height alone? I believe it will be in the 'won't win brownie points' category but it's not a knock out question like you all seem to think.
BobSacamento Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 So true...... Short women want a tall guy so they can stand out as a couple. Makes up for her being short. Go figure...... Those are the Bar Graphs that always stand out...makes you say what the hell??? Still holds true in both cases.
