Any turn off can be fixed with confidence. True or false?

[OnyxSnowfall]

Check. Clear that. So I'm tall in your book?

 

are you male and at least 5'8"?

 

Now, you explicitly bring on (not) being aroused by short guys, comparing them to cats and camels (How do you come up with those examples? ****, why am I even asking this question? I don't want to know. This gets disturbing...)

 

Like Goldeneye said "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is an enemy action".

 

Touching on your recent edit that I read after I had begun to reply to the original... you do want to know... you do

 

Yes god, I have an animal fetish. I'm going to tell you this because I think the "fun" part insinuates you may have one too, and this excites you. And that excites me. We could arrange some great things together... (provided you're tall enough or err, maybe I have a short fetish and I don't really like the tall ones ... getting back in char)

 

Bestiality is my dirty deep dark secret... I concoct all kinds of fantasies and yearn to experience them... I've done things with dogs (PM me if you want details, I'm not doling details out here) but I can't seem to find a camel...

 

I try to hide that by pretending animals actually appall me .

 

Really, I'm trying to appeal to what I find also off-putting and what I just assume others would find off-putting too. It may seem harsh, and I can't really put it gently, but I've literally cringed and experienced a great distaste at shorter men trying to kiss me/become sexual with me. I really don't know why. I don't.

Over the 5'8 mark.

Thanks for sharing. Some ladies have told me I'm an animal in bed. Seeing that you're into bestiality, we'd hit it off nicely, I'm sure.

This is not productive and the point of it has eluded me (it is pretty apparent this isn't going to cease until I stop replying, and this will be my last reply to you). If "dialogue" equates into meaningless exchanges , I suppose I am uninterested in it and I apologize for ever having "engaged" in it with you.

 

You're throwing out all kinds of absurd assumptions that seem pointless to counter and I prefer exchanges to be ones of mutual enlightenment / someone involved being enlightened. This is not the case. Neither you nor me are benefiting from it (or maybe you are)... I certainly haven't learned anything of great worth and I just don't suppose you have.

 

Message boards are for discussing things. It's just that simple. I've read a few of your comments here and there. You're comments around the board aren't exclusive to "mutual enligthenment".

 

You're not uninterested in the discussion, you've proven that time and time again. You just can't argue against what I've said because it's true. You're posts are filled with double entrendres and thinly gusied slights. Again, it's not about the fact that you aren't attracted to shorter men. That's perfectly fine. It's the little snide and sneeky attitude between that talk that is pretty bain.

[OnyxSnowfall]

IME, people who have such a strong emotional reaction to an event ( in this case, your (Onyx) lack of romantic interest to short men ) rarely can not let that emotion carry over to interests outside of said event.

 

Your comment that you can view short men as worthwhile in a non-romantic relationship seems preposterous. I wonder how many short men you actually have in a friendship role?

 

No need to respond. Just a comment from someone curious......

 

I think you are mixing up what exactly my reactions are to. It could be to another topic --- the topic is independent of my reactions. (I hope that makes sense).

 

I certainly do view platonic relations with some short men as worthwhile. Just as how I view other relations as worthwhile where sexual attraction is not present within me (think family or in my case, being as I'm not gay, the same gender, etc).

 

I cannot explain why I am not sexually aroused by some things and yet am by others. I only have a fair grip on my sexuality --- in the future I may look back retrospectively and realize it was far less than fair even... that much I'm at least aware of... but at this point I do at least "know" of some things that turn me off and some things that turn me on.

So I'm curious:

 

Do girls under 5' 8" not exist or something? Because the way this thread is going it sure seems like it. It's as if women are only 5' 10" or higher or something. There are loads of shorter girls out there.

 

*Super Sigh*

 

You're cool, MrNate. I just don't think you understand. It has nothing to do with going after women 5'8" and over. I can tell you that much.

[FrustratedStandards]

Wowow. Relax people.

 

Why is there so much commotion?

 

There is nothing wrong with not being able to see yourself romantically with someone because of a certain feature. I asked before and did not get ONE answer.

 

I asked men if they would be okay dating a very butch woman, because she is the same as every other woman and is worth of love just the same. NOT. ONE. ANSWER.

 

I think that pretty much sums it up.

 

I wonder who gets automatically ruled out more, a taller girl or a shorter guy? I'm guessing a tall girl, but I'm not sure.

 

I would love to know myself. I think the girl too. Men are far less tolerant of taller women than we are of short men. Yet they still complain and say WE are never happy! Ugh.

 

Try being a tall girl and get back to me. I've probably had less dates and boyfriends than you short motherf*ckers who complain so much about height. Try being a tall girl who scares off all the guys because they are pussies about being short. Thats right, instead you babble on about how WE are shallow when you won't even bother approaching a tall girl because... wait why was that again?

 

Oh yeah.

 

HEIGHT.

If it were only that easy,its not just women saying be a little taller then me

 

The poster saying how much short men under 5'8 are ugly to her is only 5'3

 

Short women dont like below average height men much either

Oh, come on:lmao: Do you really think you're scaring them off?

 

As someone who's below average height and IS attracted to shorter AND taller women, I can tell you the reason why I've never approached a tall woman is because I always assumed she would feel uncomfortable with the height difference. Society often says no woman should ever be over her man.

 

Hokie explained it better in an earlier post:

 

I have a feeling that for a majority of shorter men, it's not they don't find you attractive, but rather, they don't see a point in being interested in a girl who is just like the rest of them, obsessed about height, and insistent on someone taller than her...which is even harder the taller she is..sure, you might be an exception to the rule, but like many things in life, exceptions just aren't worth it.

 

More times than not, shorter men are considered the equivalent of obese women in the dating world. Some might exaggerate things, but it's probably how many see it.

[FrustratedStandards]

Oh, come on:lmao: Do you really think you're scaring them off?

 

Honestly yes. I never go on dates. EVER. And the very few that I have had turned into relationships (not serious, but there was exclusivity). Isn't that pathetic?

 

I don't even have options or choices. Isn't that sad? And my honest guy friends admitted that my height makes me intimidating, even though really im so laidback and open minded.

[Cracker Jack]

It's not pathetic. Some of us guys have never been on ANY dates. Most of that is our (or at least mine) fault, I'll admit, because we let our heights dictate our worth. Trust me. That's much worse. I'm sure you can still pull guys. Hell, I should start approaching taller women now.

 

I honestly had no idea so many men were intimated by taller women. Personally, I think your height is fine. And it's really ashame that you're being overlooked because of your height. It's good that you're open-minded, tho, so I want to ask you a question: if someone that was about 5'6" or 5'7" approached you and didn't make the height an issue during this interaction, would you turn him away? Or would you give him a chance? What's the shortest you could possibly date?

[FrustratedStandards]

My first boyfriend was 5'6.

 

All the men ive ever dated were shorter, thats why I have dated very few lol

[Cracker Jack]

Cool. Had no idea.

 

Well, all I can say is don't lose hope. Plenty of men (Tall or short) are attracted to you, I'm sure. I don't think there's anything wrong with you or your height. Hopefully more men will start approaching you soon.

[FrustratedStandards]

I'm 5'10 lol

[PJKino]

I'm 5'10 lol

 

That's not that tall where nobody would date you

 

And the reason short guys might not approach you is because of posters like onyx who is 5'3 and 5'7 is still not tall enough so if being 4 inches taller then agirl isnt enough then were gonna figure a taller girl wouldnt want us

Keep blaming others and adhering to a false absolute (meanwhile, you will miss out on opportunities because you fear rejection/not being good enough. Truth is, no one is "good enough" for everyone but everyone is "good enough" for at least "someone").
