EricaH329 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 So I've had the distinct pleasure of reading all your threads regarding the dating limitations for shorter men since I've been a member here, and they all pretty much say the same thing. Every now and then you'll start a thread about how you have it so rough in the dating game because of your height. Sometimes you'll cite blog entries, relationship articles, or perhaps an anecdote in support of your position. Now I just have to ask, what is your purpose in creating these repeated threads ranting about how it sucks to be short...? (1) In each thread, countless people discount the absolute importance of height and share their own experiences contrary to your beliefs. But you simply shrug everyone off and remain in your state of denial. (2) I'm not sure if you're looking to get the whole pity party treatment either...where we all tell you that you'll be fine and that women will date you even if you're 5'7", which is the truth...but you jump right back into your 'woe is me' cave and blame women...or society...or your bad luck for being short...but you've all but given up...and when you receive responses with possible solutions to your problem, you respond with nothing but complaints about your height...have you ever stopped to think that it's something other than your height that hinders your dating...? (3) Or perhaps you simply intend to inform us of your beliefs and try to convert the entire community into adopting those beliefs. But given the constant negative feedback you get from LS members, I don't understand what motivates you to keep trying... So my question is, what's the point...? Haven't bothered reading this thread, or what it's about... but I can say that this post is on point!
D-Lish Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 5'7 And I don't do online dating for that reason (among others). I thought joining a website for midgets would help. I guess I was wrong. There are truly no options for midgets. 5'7" isn't overly short GL. You need to get over the height thing- it's only a major thing in your world because you make it a major thing.

Citizen Erased Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Are there dating sites for obsessive morons that spend their time trolling a fruity pink love advice forum? Just curious.
TaraMaiden Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 One:Stop trying to join on-line dating sites. Two: Find an enviable skill and become an expert at it (providing you enjoy it of course) Three: Stop whingeing. I'm 4'10", my partner's 5' 8" trust me - it's not your height. It might have something to do with your somewhat misogynistic and jaded attitude towards women in general. You really need to cheer up a bit. Or move to Italy. Loads of guys there aren't so tall, and it's not stopped them....
Krytie TV Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I feel very strongly that the problem is NOT that you are 5'7". The problem is that you ACT 5'7". Bitter, unconfident, and dramatic. Loosen up... seriously. You are the only one in your way. By the way. there is a Monty Python skit called Archeology Today where they base a man's intelligence and power on their height. It's pretty funny... maybe it'll help you lighten up a little,.
Mme. Chaucer Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I'm old and jaded, and every man in my life has been TALL. I have never before been attracted to a man who wasn't TALL. I didn't even think about it ... just was only drawn to the TALL (and strong!) men. Now I am in love with a short guy. I am also very attracted to him. He does exude a great deal of self confidence and comfort in his own skin, which I love, but I never would have predicted that I'd find myself with a less than statuesque man. Maybe if you exude self confidence your luck will change. From reading your post, you have some work to do on that!
USMCHokie Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 How clever. When you're young attractive and eligible, you only want to date tall guys. But when you get old and "jaded" as you say, and guys run for the hills when you're nearby, you are just now willing to give the shorter guys a chance. I must say that although I don't agree with all of the folks who complain about height on LS, this was just well f'in played here...that's just a great inference in support of your position drawn from previous poster's post...I gotta give you credit on this one...well done...
AD1980 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 How clever. When you're young attractive and eligible, you only want to date tall guys. But when you get old and "jaded" as you say, and guys run for the hills when you're nearby, you are just now willing to give the shorter guys a chance. I see posts of women like the one OP showed us on online dating all the time. It really is laughable, and sad. People always talk about the "short bald guys" who aim for supermodels, but I find it's a lot more common among women to have this attitude. Probably since women can stay a lot longer without sex they can wait for the guy they want for as many years as they have to over "settling" for a guy whose *GASP* not that tall or has thinning hair. Of course theyll settle once the biological clock is ticking and every tall guy has thrown them to the side of the road and their dating pool shrinks 50% Until then well just have to patiently wait to get these leftovers as they settle for us

There are truly no options for midgets. 2 words DAVID SPADE. Short dude that only dates ridiculiously hot and tall MODELS. and no it doesn't have anything to do with him being famous/rich. Hes been dating hot chicks way back before he was "famous". http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/david-spade.htm
PJKino Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) We just have to accept the most desirable thing/biggest dealbreaker in the dating world is Male Height I still say its as social as it is primal..Tons of women are sheep who are slaves to the media and their standards of beauty, look at how women kill themsvles to look like women they see on tv no matter how many times guys say they like em the way they are.. Women hear tall dark and handsome all their lives and how Short is synomous with ugly[short fat and bald] u cant tell me it plays absolutely no part into a womens subconscious..

xpaperxcutx Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 You're omitting someone OGL---- DANNY DEVITO! Okay, so he's a movie star, but have you forgotten that he's short and bald? Yet he still managed to make it in Hollywood where the only standards are tall, hot and gorgeous. 5'7 is not short. In fact, it's the like the average height, and you can certainly not tell the difference between it and 5'8.

USMCHokie Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I think most guys who are my height or shorter would agree that women are just as visual or more than men. All guys would agree that women are at least just as visual as men. Most women would agree too...
CLC2008 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 All guys would agree that women are at least just as visual as men. Most women would agree too... This is true...to a degree. For me, first serious bf was (if I remember correctly) around my height with heals and last serious bf was (if I remember correctly ) 6 ft. 5. The first was FAR better from a sexual attraction standpoint, versus the 2nd bf.
USMCHokie Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 We just have to accept the most desirable thing/biggest dealbreaker in the dating world is Male Height No we don't. But it's interesting that whenever these routine 'short threads' come up, people always reference short male celebrities (e.g., David Spade, Danny Devito)...never the average shorter everyday man...yet you see them EVERYWHERE...and guess what, they're with women... My suggestion is to stop blaming height and figure out what other things you need to improve to attract women, because it's almost certainly something else.

Dont get me wrong i dont think height is as important as open makes it out to be hes clearly got issues but theryes no denying its probably the biggest dealbreaker in the dating world,height is pretty important to women until they get older and have less options

Okay celebrities aside, I will admit I've dated a 5'5-5'6 guy. In fact, I've written about him on here before. He had a nice personality. Pretty average looks. So it wasn't the height.

Pretty average looks. So it wasn't the height. Of course. And that's my point. You don't even need to reference celebrities to make the point. Even average normal guys at 5'7" can have plenty of success meeting and dating women.
FitChick Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Here is a headline short guys can use on their dating profiles: "Good things come in small packages" You're welcome!

Chicago_Guy Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I said screw it I'm just going to join a website midgets since that's where society want us. I'd figure I actually start going into venues where women actually want us. ...and I still am not tall enough. http://www.shortpassions.com/seeme/goodbyetolovex.html Dating site for midgets, and her height requirement is 5'10 to 6'2. Seriously, where am I suppose to go? Someone help me because if I'm too short for dating websites dedicated for short people then I'm out of options. The really odd thing is that the woman who created that profile appears to be obese based on her photo and is very unattractive notwithstanding the obesity yet she feels entitled to a man within a very specific height range.

She is entitled to the world! Why not? We unfortunately don't know her personality. There are some fabulous chunky ladies with the self-esteem of a goddess which a VS model may not have.
