USMCHokie Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 They arent determnig factors for all but are for tons And it is a different factor/level of attractions,its aww hes so cute to compared to Jesus hes hot let him just take me and do what he pleases Ummm...I guess your height makes up for your sentence structure...?
electricity Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Regardless of personal preference you admit being Tall is an amazingly beautiful attractive trait thats great to stare at and admire you dont stare at shortness in the same way Shrotness is not the "eyecandy" you speak of but you realize what high demand tall guys are in so you rather a short guy whos less likely to cheat on you while you admire us from afar Right, because I'd also rather date a pretty sunset than a short guy; too bad sunsets are in high demand. This kind of arrogance (and inability to use proper spelling/grammar) would be an instant turn-off even if I approached a tall guy b/c I thought he were pretty. OP, you should hang out with this dude. Once the girls realize how self-important he is, they'll turn to you and realize that the nice guy is so much better.

Nope im a model for Calvin Klein and get women throwing thmeselves at me[literally] all the time they love my confidence
Toki Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 If you're gonna throw that one out there, than I'm a Billionaire-Astronaut-Cowboy.
StalledGirl Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I would like to date a tall man but so far haven't. I think a woman who is 5ft and asking for men over 5ft7 is laughable in a way as you have to have some common sense. A man who is 6ft2 would suit my height better
electricity Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Nope im a model for Calvin Klein and get women throwing thmeselves at me[literally] all the time they love my confidence Um, congratulations? I agree. Some people are pretty and fun to look at. That's why there's a multi-billion dollar industry built on pretty people. It's the equivalent of a pretty piece of art or a pretty new accessory. The difference is I don't have to listen to my shiny new purse ramble on about how it's so great all the time, else I'd ditch it too. Back to the original point of this thread, sure tall men might have silly women throwing "thmeselves" at them, but there are many women who're content with going "ooo pretty" and promptly forgetting all about them in favor of the guys with an attention span longer than a goldfish and an ability to use proper grammar. If you're short and want to be fawned over for your looks, then I'm sorry, SteveC is right - you're out of luck. But if you're not super tall and want a serious relationship with a woman, you'll find someone. I'm sorry, she might not be as airheaded as the ladies SteveC gets, but I'm sure you can live with that.
USMCHokie Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Nope im a model for Calvin Klein and get women throwing thmeselves at me[literally] all the time they love my confidence Dammit...now I want to be tall...

Youre running around in circles i said short guys can get women but you are proving my point saying how tall guys are better looking
electricity Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Youre running around in circles i said short guys can get women but you are proving my point saying how tall guys are better looking The difference is you're saying that being tall is an advantage in the dating world. I'm saying it's an attribute, but not necessarily an advantage and can in fact be a turn-off.

Hugh Hefner's 5'9", but he's got lots of women fawning all over him.

I'm saying it's an attribute, but not necessarily an advantage and can in fact be a turn-off. And this is the point I was trying to make earlier...height is absolutely an advantage...no one can deny that...but it's only one of many attributes a person possesses that contributes to his or her overall attractiveness... So for those who may not have that height advantage, they have to "make up" for it by distinguishing themselves with a different attribute(s)...it's those who complain about height being the be-all end-all that never take this step of self-improvement and are forever destined to wallow at the bottom of the dating pool. Fair enough. I kinda meant along the same veins of SteveC's having many women throw themselves at him, but yea it's definitely not all about height.

skydiveaddict Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 If you're gonna throw that one out there, than I'm a Billionaire-Astronaut-Cowboy. Exactly and i'm a model for playgirl. But I've always wanted to be a calvin klein model. just couldnt make the height requirement, (I'm only 6'4")
USMCHokie Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Are tall guys better looking yes or no? This guy was tall: http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slideshows/168/slideshow_16801/display_image.jpg

electricity Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 This guy was tall: http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slideshows/168/slideshow_16801/display_image.jpg Good one. Tall guys can be better looking, but that has nothing to do with lust/date-ability. As was the original topic of this thread (and indeed, this entire forum), they are not necessarily more date-able or lust-worthy. Like I said at the beginning - I wouldn't know what to do with a tall guy, physically. My boyfriend's half a foot taller than me and that's plenty enough. I personally wouldn't want to date anyone 6'+, because kissing would be a chore. Ergo, in response to the OP, my whole point was to say that there are girls who don't want the 6'2" blue-eyed six-pack man, and he doesn't need to limit himself to ladies below a certain height.
skydiveaddict Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Dammit skydive...you just crushed my dreams...I'm only 5'8"... oh well, maybe you should join the Marine Corp instead

Heh, yep. I never said short guys cant get women but as u said they have to jump through hoops and be extrodinary everywhere else to get women Tall Guys just have to find away not to f things up

But this viewpoint strongly implies that desirable short guys are pretty much extraordinary individuals...whereas desirable tall guys are...well...just tall...I guess there really would be no need for any other positive qualities if you feel that your height is all you need to get a woman... Therefore, it just seems like the tall guys with that kind of attitude would not be that great of a catch...

You act like you have to be extrodinary to get and keep women you dont,most people arent extrodinary AS i said in my first post here my dealings are that women are insanely shallow,if u are very good looking you can get away with anything and i have
spookie Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 my preference is for muscular guys within about 3 inches of my height of 5'8, but i have never viewed height - or lack thereof - as a serious turn-on or dealbreaker. weight - yes - you must outweigh me and be strong enough to throw me around, but i don't understand the obsession with height.
SilentVoice Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 My entire family is short. My mom is only 4'11 and I am only 5'11 (I'm Male) My uncle, who is only 5'4 also, married a woman who is 5'11 or so and they have been married for 15+ years now. I personally have dated women taller than me in the past and didn't have any problems with it, but did feel a bit odd. I have noticed that the shortness is a huge turn off for a lot of woman, and I have found some women will instantly stop talking to me once they find out how short I am (even though it's on my profile on dating sites) So, when someone writes me on a dating website, one of the first things I tell them is my height. Someone said you were short at 5'11 .. or am I half asleep and reading something wrong?
Tim The Enchanter Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 It works both ways - I prefer women in the 5'4" - 5'9" range. I'm half an inch shy of 6 feet.
Eeyore79 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Just stick with the tall guys and save the charming, fun guys for women who find that physically attractive. Do you have any idea how much it hurts to read this post? I'm not saying it in a nasty kind of way. People are attracted to two things: good looks, and good personality. If you weren't lucky enough to be gifted with the former, you need to work on developing the latter. Of course women are attracted to handsome men at first sight, just the same as men are attracted to stunningly beautiful women at first sight. That's not being nasty, it's a basic truth: good looking people are attractive. If your looks don't have that visual impact, you have to create attraction with your other attributes, and that applies to both men and women who are not gorgeous. Women aren't as visually oriented as you might think; no matter what you look like, you can project confidence and masculinity and sexuality, and women will find that attractive.
