oldguy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Also; The problem here is his father was 6' 1" & a pro ball player. Thats gotta be a tough expectation for someone to grow up with. One of my brothers managed to reach 6' 6", trust me, you are lucky to be 5' 9".
oldguy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 enough of it. There are a million girls out there. Are you expecting that if you were taller that all of those millions of women would bow down to you and love you? You have two things working against you: your height and your piss poor attitude. Height is going to work against everyone at some point. Girls who are 5 feet tall may not be attracted to a man over 6 feet tall and women closer to average height may not be attracted to a guy under 6 feet. Deal with it because there are plenty of women out there to go around. Once women meet the side of you that enjoys life and likes to have fun then you will see the women who have no issue with your height. FTR I am 5'8 and have been turned down numerous times and I can guarantee some of those times were based primarily on my height but I survived. I agree, you will get turned down far more for your attitude than your hight.
Eternal Sunshine Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 My boss is 5'8" and he has a wife and had numerous mistresses. I also dated a 5'8" guy and I am around 5'9" tall myself. So, stop it
Mme. Chaucer Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Please respond to these questions: 1) Why do you keep coming here with different user names but the exact same issue? Do you get banned? 2) Why do you absolutely ignore all the men who say that they are your height or shorter and who advise you about how to deal with it? 3) Why do you absolutely ignore all the women who date or who are happy to date men who are your height or shorter? 4) Are you receiving any kind of professional psychological help? Clearly, to everyone here, your height is NOT your problem. This is a fact.
sanskrit Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 These females are not ogling men "only" because of their height. Yes, they absolutely are. Regardless of the validity of the rest of OP's post, he's dead on correct about this. It's a given reality all men must accept. In big bell curve land, male height trumps all in male attractiveness, this is an indisputable fact of science/cultural biology. How one reacts to this given reality, either learning to work with it or giving up and constantly complaining about it, is the measure of a man. But lets do be crystal clear. Height in men is -astronomically- important in attracting women. And as an aside here, just because -you- don't feel that way, or -you- dated some short guys doesn't mean jack squat in the fat of the bell curve. Honestly do women sleep through basic high school statistics classes? Reading these forums leads to the conclusion that many of them do just that.

Would you care to present and verify your sources for this? Where's the graph to which you refer? I know you are the man and all, but that doesn't really attribute absolute veracity to your every utterance, in the world outside of your own imagination, anyway. Did you really learn this impressive information about women's reaction to male height in a high school statistics class? Whew! Where'd you go to high school, anyway? Lilliput? Truly, you are a veritable fount of creative facts! And they are so reliably couched amongst disparaging remarks about women. You seen so insecure and full of impotent rage. I'm sorry. Maybe some elevated shoes could help you. Just FYI - my newest signature was inspired specifically by you. I thought you might be flattered to know that.
Mimolicious Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Ok, before any of you comment on me "re-posting" my stupid height threads or commenting on how I am trying to get you to "co-sign" my insecurity, hear me out. Ok, I just turned 23 years old. For 4 years now I have barley dated any girls, barley gone out socially, barley done anything that young people should be out doing all because of one thing: MY F***ING HEIGHT Ok, I'm going to give you guys the prime example of WHY I can't stand my height. Ok, I've been working the past few weeks, I weigh like 185 pounds with little to no body fat, my dad is 6'1" and played professional baseball so you can imagine my genetics. Tonight I was feeling really good about myself, ready to go out and hit on girls and what not, but when I go outside my apartment (I live in a college town), like every guy is 6'2" with pretty girls all around them, and when they see me they act like they just saw a squirell, like I barley exist, ONLY because of how much the guys tower over me (AND I'm huge).... when that happened tonight, I went inside my room and almost started hyperventelating, I can't help it, I feel like I will never be able to party and truly have fun because of my height, and I'm supposed to be with these girls but when they look at my height it's like I'm nothing. I've wasted soooo much of my life, the best years of my life, HATING life and hating everyone because of my height... I need SERIOUS help. When I see a 6'2" guy and see how girls look at him ONLY because of his height and see how his personality is ONLY because of his height I flip my s**t.... I'm freaking 23 years old and barley EVER partied with anyone, I smoked weed by myself multiple times daily for years justr to "numb out" this pain I have over my height. Will someone tell me what is going on? Am I a psycho? Am I a narcissist? I want to get out and find a sweet girl that I can love and be in a relationship with but I have this "block" in my head stopping me from going after ANY girls simply because of my height. I reeaally want to be in a relationship with a girl.... but I just have this fear of me being with her, then a 6'2" guy walking by and her jaw dropping to the floor ONLY because his height combined with not being retarted.... like I would go off the deep-end if I were dating a girl and that happened... what the hell is going on. Is this how life just is Where the fack you live? In Green Giant's hood? 5'9 is more than average. Unless you are attracted to Bridgitte Nielsen type chicks, I don't see your height being an issue. You make it sound like you are 4'2. If you are dating a girl and she drops her jaw for anything other than you, then she is doing you the favor. Now, sounds like you may have other insecurity issues and you are projecting them the wrong way. I think is safe to say, since you are not a midget (no pun), it may not be your height.
lolo1234 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 5'9 is not short . You need to get a grip on reality. Maybe move elsewhere ... U must live in a very homogenous area. Move to a bigger city where u have more ethnicities and you will see that you aren't short . Last guy I liked was 5'7... I'm short myself 5'1.
Author Stocky Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 To everyone saying 5'9" isn't short, the ONLY time I have EVER been "average" was aroound hispanics or around a few guys that are so insecure that no woman would ever want them. I am the only LEGIT guy, more legit than the 6'2" "players" that live across the hall from me, under 6 foot.... like, I know who I am, but the height thing is like WOOOOAAAAHHHH. When an ugly, dumb, incapable man towers over me and just smirks like "yea but I'm better than you" I can't handle it. I have become a hermit. I could get girls... lots of girls. It's being around other guys and just the "energy" of the height thing makes me SO FREAKING NUTS. If these guys didn't have their height, they would be a COMPLETELY different person. Where I live, 5'9" is NOT average AT ALL. When I go to small redneck towns, yes there are more short people. But in the big popular city I live in in the USA, no way it's average. Just sitting at Starbucks right now, EVERY guy that has walked by me is 5'11"-6'2" except for one guy who was fat, ugly, and basically a completely insecure, incapable human. The other guys just have this smirk on their face ONLY cause their height....
Author Stocky Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 I just want someone to tell me that facial attractivness is more important, or just as good, as height, given that the guy isnt a midget...
OliveOyl Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 You know what? Trolls are short. Very, very short. Yeah. You're short.
Datura Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Yes, they absolutely are. Quit playing mind reader. In big bell curve land, male height trumps all in male attractiveness, this is an indisputable fact of science/cultural biology. Then cite your source which states it supersedes facial symmetry, and being overweight. How one reacts to this given reality, either learning to work with it or giving up and constantly complaining about it, is the measure of a man. Precisely. But lets do be crystal clear. Height in men is -astronomically- important in attracting women. How important is it in living one's life, and enjoying what the world has to offer? And as an aside here, just because -you- don't feel that way, or -you- dated some short guys doesn't mean jack squat in the fat of the bell curve. Honestly do women sleep through basic high school statistics classes? Reading these forums leads to the conclusion that many of them do just that. Your "aside" better not be in reference to my post...
Mme. Chaucer Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Perhaps you might consider living amongst the Pygmy tribe. Then you would be a tower of a man, comparatively.
Datura Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Then cite your source which states it supersedes facial symmetry, and being overweight. That should be, healthy weight, not overweight. This inability to edit irks me.
westernxer Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Help, I'm only six feet. No one wants me. LOL (Six feet in my dreams, and I'm sure somebody might want me for a night or two, if only for the extra blanket.)
oaks Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Ok, I just turned 23 years old. For 4 years now I have barley dated any girls, barley gone out socially, barley done anything that young people should be out doing all because of one thing: MY F***ING HEIGHT Try dating short girls. Also, barley is what they make beer and whisky from.

Would it be an imaginary bell curve that only exists in your head?
Aveenolover Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I'm 22, pretty hawt (from what people tell me, im not totally stuck up lol) and my bf is only 5'5 and i think hes super hot. Ive been asked out by 6+ft taller dudes and i deny them cuz i prefer to be with my boyfriend. Height doesnt mean everything. Confidence does
LeaningIntoTheMuse Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I've seen some incredibly short dudes (4 foot 11 inches) score with hot women. And some 6 foot guys who go home lonely. It's more about the overall attractiveness, rather than the height. Sure, height can help, but it's not everything. Work on what you can change, not what you can't.
sanskrit Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 So Tall ugly Men are in high demand just because of their height? Absolutely, the only thing that cancels out height as an attractant is extreme obesity or a serious avoidant disorder, and I've seen many tall, fat. -ugly- guys who constantly had women crawling them for height alone.
headsinclouds Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 OK, I am 5'9" and I've dated several guys that are 1 or 2 inches shorter than me. I've also dated multiple tall guys with the tallest being 6'7". Guess what? Your height is fine. It's really not a big deal. It's not like your 5 feet tall or something. Now that would be an issue.
KR10N Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I thought 5'9" was average for a man. I have a crush on a guy who is 5'9" & I'm just a quarter of an inch shorter than he is.
thatone Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 saw in the pregame tonight that jose barea is dating a former miss universe. and he comes in off the bench, he's not even a star player. solution: be an NBA player .
