Another article that proves how delicious Tall guys are to Women

[MrNate]

I BETTER never hear any of these women bytch when their man talks about how fat their butt looks in those jeans.

 

Usually they wind up fitting in them perfectly. Oh yes

[Content]

That is really silly. My friend is tall, other than that he's got nothing else going for him that makes him more attractive in a woman's eyes. Yet we go out , I'm always the confident one who tries to talk to women and etc, he sits in a corner afraid since he has really low self-esteem.

 

Guess who women talk to, or try to talk to anyway? The tall guy. I sit in a confident posture, joking and laughing with my friends I look like I'm having a good time and am a fun guy probably, yet women will still talk to the quiet, unconfident tall guy over the confident short guy every time. So many guys remark and compliment me on my "balls"(lol it's not what it sounds like) yet it means nothing to women at all.

 

To call me less of a man because women don't like me is ridiculous. The social phenomenon of women defining masculinity is what has turned it into this stupid, superficial thing that is all about having the biggest muscles and the flashiest car, rather than a deep spiritual ideal. I am pretty much the leader of my group and my friends look to me for help in a fight or to help them fix something etc, over my tall friend, yet that means diddly squat to women.

 

P.S. , I don't act masculine to get girls, it's just how i am and how I was raised.

 

 

Because you approach women doesnt make them obliged to be attracted to you

 

Perhaps these women you approach arent fond of your face or personality and perhaps they like your friends face better,the fact your tall friend does better then you with women doesnt mean all women love tall men and ignore short Men

 

My guess is you may overestimate your other features [personality or face] and this height thing your using as a crutch and as a defensive mechanism towards reejction convincing yourself your such a great catch and height is the only thign holding you back

 

Have you ever talked to any of your friends girlfriends /wives that your close with for an honest assesment of you?

We'll have to hit the town sometime. I generally am not extremely outgoing, talkative, etc, nor do I approach tons of women. However, I am 6' tall. I'm taller than most of my friends and acquaintances, but I certainly haven't noticed that I get spoken to/hit on more by women than the guys who are more outgoing and amiable, despite being shorter. Do you understand how the things you say are entirely subjective and that you can't extract any generalizations from your personal observations? I don't doubt that in your case, it may be true that a tall but average-looking and shy dude is getting more female attention than shorter, more outgoing guys. My case is different. I'm tall(ish), I'm probably a bit more outgoing than your friend, and my looks have generally been described as above average/good looking, yet he seems to be having an easier time meeting women than I am. How do you rationalize this?

[donnamaybe]

It's not just my friend. You go to the bar and even the most awkward and lame tall guys have 3-4 women all around them fighting for their attention, while the shorter guys all sit in the corner getting drunk alone or with their male friends.

Oh, fer cryin' in the rain, just what planet do you go bar hopping on, seriously? I go out all the time, with friends or with my sweety, and I NEVER see the above.

 

It could be your perception is playing tricks on you.

Seriously where does this place exist where every tall Man has a harem of women at his disposal and every short guy is sitting in the corner alone and angry and bitter at the world.

 

This dude needs professional help..I can assure him heights way down on the list for reasons he cant get women.

[Content]

I live in NYC, and I've gone out with my friends to a whole slew of different places, and the story is always the same.

 

 

 

Are you female ? Do all the other guys here who agree with me need mental help too? Is it really everything except the fact that women do not like guys just for their height? Get off cloud 9. It would take all of 25 seconds to prove height is the most important trait a man has in the eyes of women.

 

 

 

Where do you live, the phillipines? Because I'm sure any guy here who goes out a lot will agree with me, the only guys at bars who get girls to talk to when they're out are extremely tall or roided up.

 

Im a short Male who does fine with women is who iam

 

Where in NYC are you?

 

I live here and have lived in most boroughs and have seen men of all sizes get women, ive seen ethnic Men like italians who arent that tall as a whole do very well with women

 

The picture you paint of all short Men single and lonely and all Tall men swimming in women is laughable

[USMCHokie]

I'll give you 25 minutes. No, make that 25 years. Prove is a very strong word...you might be able to suggest a correlation, but prove...? I doubt it...

 

 

Where do you live, the phillipines? Because I'm sure any guy here who goes out a lot will agree with me, the only guys at bars who get girls to talk to when they're out are extremely tall or roided up.

 

Two things. First, steroid use outside of athletic competition is actually pretty rare...so associating fitness with steroids is reflects a bit of ignorance...and second, I don't agree with you...I've seen plenty of people succeed in the bars who don't fit the types you describe...of course it makes me scratch my head and wonder, but it happens...

How much $$$ do you have and how many hours do you spend at the gym everyday?

 

 

 

Queens.

 

 

 

I haven't. THe only short guys I see with girlfriends are mexican immigrants with mexican immigrant girlfriends, who I'm sure date them because of the language barrier from taller american men.

 

 

 

It's a trend. You can't deny it. And scientifically proven. The short guys who slip through the cracks have a lot of money etc.

 

 

 

 

LOL what's with the mental gymnastics?

 

Are you going to suggest being tall isn't an important feature to most if not all women? Sure if you have 10 features that balance it out superficially like huge muscles or money you might better your chances, but 1 feature like height is a deal breaker for most women. You have to work 10 times as hard to be half as attractive as a guy whose just tall.

 

What part of Queens?

 

And i make average money nothing great and still get women

 

I know Tall men short men fat men all with women

 

I know tall men short Men and fat Men who cant get women

 

The idea that short Men can only get women if theyre rich or roided up is hillarious

[ascendotum]

Women don't even give me a chance to show my personality.

 

Don't under estimate this. I have hit the bars before with a mate or co-worker who has been a short build guy, to meet women, and I certainly have noticed the difference in their approachability. The last time was so bleak, so much 'talk to the hand' attitude straight off (women in 30s). It was hard work. Buying the women drinks (which I dont agree with) is what kept the few conversations going. Neither of us are what you would call handsome guys but then we weren't hitting on women that you would call pretty. I know the bar scene is not great way to meet women, but noticing a lot more attitude from women the times I have gone out with a wingman who was short, I am certainly not going to dismiss Warlord's claims that just being up for contention is hard. It’s like an overweight woman going out with her skinny girlfriend and complaining that 80% of the conversation from guys is directed at her skinny friend, and being told by men that’s rubbish. (but guys wont BS that)

 

Donnamaybe, don't get me wrong, its really great that you wave the flag for guys who are less well endowed with height, and your current boyfriend is not a tall guy, but I agree with the other guys that it would have counted for more if you were saying this when you were in your 20s and 30s. What prompts me to say this is because three short build women I have known for quite some time are now dating guys that are avg to below avg in size and they love these guys....but these women are late 30s early 40s single mothers and its the first time they have had a boyfriend below average (or even avg height) for all the time (10+ yrs) I have known them. The actions of women in the days they wear high heels, short skirts, tight tops, is really what resonates with guys.

 

I know the above women don't represent all women, but it would be like me responding to a post were a woman in her 40s complains how internet dating is a lot harder for women over 40. I could respond with 'bollocks, I currently know 2 women in their 40s who are getting over 60 msgs a week from guys week in week out and who have dated great looking guys (and yes usually described as tall) who were pilots, successful businessmen, finance directors, marketing VPs, etc.' and left it that.

 

If I then went on and mentioned that these women have great skin for their age, very feminine, still have long hair, slim build, go to the gym, dress stylish, financially independent, that would change the context somewhat. If I was then to go on and say that none of these 'fantastic guys' they date last past 6 mths, that would then change the context again.

I agree that below average height guys who blame their dating difficulties 100% on height are wrong, however it’s a big factor that they need to do their best to offset. Come on, height rocks for women, and short guys getting told otherwise just frustrates them all the more.

 

 

Warlord999 – since you mentioned Mexican girls, I really think you should focus more on ethnic girls.

[TheBigQuestion]

this is by the fairest and most honest post in the whole thread.

 

As far as I can tell, no one here has ever said that being shorter than average puts you at a disadvantage in dating. The real question everyone should be asking you is, what have you done to better your chances in spite of it?

[USMCHokie]

And this is "the big question"...

 

Shorter men who ask themselves this and do something about it are the ones who are just as successful at dating as their taller counterparts. The ones who ignore this question get left behind and blame it all on height...

When you say short how short are we talking?

 

And you say yourself neither guy was handsome which might have had more to do with it then height,do u think if you got a short good looking guy hed get rejected or an ugly or average tall guy would have been sucessful?

 

AS far as the girls not beign that hot contrary to popular beleif women are as shallow if not more then guys,and average or mediocre looking girls are evne more picky then the aveage mediocre guys becasue quite frankly the have allot mroe options then their male counterparts and probably have been used for sex by guys above their league which has inflated their ego

As a slightly short guy whos had sucess i dont buy that we have to work harder unless youre talking an extremely short guy

 

Guys still have to approach women and show a personality to get them wheter short tall or whatever

 

Very few guys are good looking enough to not have to put in any effort

[AD1980]

So a slighty shorter guy should have to get six pack abs make allot of money and have a better personality then a tall guy to have a shot?

 

Im 5'8 which is a inch under the national average if a guy 5'10 has to do allot less work to get women because therye 2 inches more off the ground then me then that means women have reached an extremely goofy and shallow level and i feel theyre not worth my troubles if i have to jump through hoops to try to attract one or get one to notice me becasue of somethign so trivial in the scheme of things....

 

All you hear is how women just want to find love and Men are pigs blah blah blah truth is women are pretty damn selfish and shallow themselves if they wouldnt give a guy a shot who could be their soulmate because hes not a maybe few more inches off the ground..

 

I understand women not wanting to be taller then their man i get all that but when women need to be a foot smaller and look like a little child next to theyre Man to feel "feminine" you scratch your head..

 

Ladies are you looking for love or a trophy?

 

Ladies Are you looking for love somebody to make you look better in contrast to his size?

We're all dealt a genetic "hand of cards" when we're born. You choose what to do with yours; mope on an internet forum or live your life to the best of your ability with what you're given. Does it suck to be short? Yup. I'm dead average in a region where people are generally above average height, so I'm not in a great spot in that respect either. However, I also recognize that it sucks to be born paralyzed. Just sayin'

 

I'm not saying that you shouldn't mope about the state of society if you really want to. You also have the choice to make some use out of yourself than you are by continuing this unnecessarily long thread.

 

I'm a victim of negative thoughts about my height sometimes, as well, but I know that if I can find a way to stop measuring the success of my life by the number of women I attract, and my life will be sooooo much less stressful.

[AD1980]

I agree it shouldnt ruin someones life but i guess seeing in the internet world how much height effects thousands of Men i guess im more curious then anything as to why Male height or lack of it is by far the biggest dealbreaker in the dating world

 

Dont tell me weight with women because i know more then plenty of guys who dont need women to be stick figures to be attracted to them

 

And dont tell me its like fat women because neither gender is overly attracted to soembody overweight severly

 

So how is this one trait so powerful to women that its almost universally attractive/unattratcive to them?

 

 

Is it that women are so impressionable and the media feeding them tall dark and handsome and seeing movies and pictures as a child of fairtytales where the Mans so much taller?

 

Its just frustrating as a man that becasue your not maybe 2 more inches off the ground your datign pool is sevely limited

 

WHy have women become so demanding and shallow about trivial bs?

 

I thought you just want to find love?

Women want their men to be protectors, that's why they tend to prefer taller men. It's compounded now by the fact that many women love wearing high heels, so it's no good being only a couple of inches taller than her if she likes wearing 3+ inch heels.

 

I think it also stems from them idolising their fathers and wanting someone to remind them of their fathers when they were a kid.

 

It's not just height - women go for masculine traits. Being considerably taller than her is one, facial hair is another, also ruggedness and visible signs of strength or manliness. I don't think women like the Mr Olympia bodybuilder type, but they sure do like rugby players and firemen.

 

I'm generalising of course, but this is the impression I've gleaned over the years.

[callingyouuu]

So how is this one trait so powerful to women that its almost universally attractive/unattratcive to them?

I agree with your post. As people who weren't just given the most attractive qualities to begin with, it pretty much sucks balls, and this is a natural question that I've also asked many times. However, I think that even if I had the answer to that question, it would still suck balls. I actually think the answer is akin to why men prefer bigger breasts. We just...do.

 

The only thing we can possibly get from this thread is recognition from women that it sucks. It would be nice, but even if we were to achieve their pity, in the end it still doesn't change the state of society and what they tend to be attracted to.

 

Do shorter guys have to work harder to gain the same level of "attractiveness"? On average, probably. I agree that it's frustrating. I just don't think complaining about it is going to do any good in the long run.

 

A good tip for shorter/average guys like myself would be to step out of the internet dating scene; dating in real-life tends to bring out the more attractive sides of you, which in most cases would be more accurate for a woman to pick from than a superficial online profile describing you as a less-than-six foot tall object that likes pets and goes hiking on the weekends.

[lino]

I guess since it's talked about so much here there must be some truth to it but I've never seen this height disadvantage thing myself.

 

I have 2 friends that are both clearly less than 170cm tall and they clean up with women. They aren't rich by any means or massively good looking either but they do treat their girls with very little respect ie. cheat on them, don't consider them one bit when making decisions, etc

 

From what I've seen in real-life, keeping a girl hungry for you by not treating her so well scores waaaaay higher than height. Then again it could have to do with the location.

 

I reckon if you're struggling with women in the USA and you thinks it's because of your height, you should move to Autralia because I've never seen evidence of height in a man being so valuable here.

So long as you're in shape, decent looking, have decent finances and aren't too nice and/or respectful to female partners - you shouldn't have any problems

 

Even in Europe I've never seen or heard of this height disadvantage that guys in the USA seem to face.

 

 

Aussie girls also go nuts over American accents!

[irc333]

Good post here....yeah, getting out in the real world would probably help matters, women will typically just delete anyone under 6 feet without giving you so much as a wink.

 

Which is funny, I bet these VERY same women taht reject you online, would probably have no problem getting to know you in person, regardless of height.

[PJKino]

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle of all this..With thousands of guys complaining about this theres obviously SOME merit to it at the same time its probably not to the etxreme level some posters make it out to be at least id hope not..

 

To be honest coming on sites like this all over the internet where women seem to choose heels over a good short Man and the feeling of looking good and like a small fragile women is more important then finding a true love to some women is kinda of disheartening but i try to look at the positive and believe real life women are much better and less shallow then they show on the internet..

 

Besides some of these "heightists" arent always the cream of the crop..Some of these women demanding tall guys and putting down short Men look like theyve been run over by a Bus TWICE and are pushing about 2 or 3 bills in weight..

[Sweetie1977]

Short guys are like fat women,ever have fat women approach you guys in a bar and you roll your eyes and go oh god here they come thats how we look at it when a bunch of short guys approach.If any of you watch jersey shore short guys are the male version of "grenades"
