Content Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I'm only 5'3" I would "humor" an extremely persistent man of 5'7" 1/2 to possibly 5'6" 1/2... as I have in the past. The thing is (with the exception of one), they all either had "napoleon syndrome" and or their qualities were also not what I was looking for (and being confident didn't make me appreciate those qualities anymore than I already did[not]). It would really probably take some god-like/amazing inhuman being inside of their shortiness to get me to part my legs for them The other two, whom were nice, confident and intelligent (with similar interests to me) were actually 5'6" (well one was a little shorter) and... it just, didn't work for me. =/ it's like... "you're a wonderful person, but I have no desire to create electrifying pleasures between your body and mine". Interesting..we ll have prefernces its just weird that 5'8 somehow would turn you on but if that same person was an inch or just a half an inch shorter which isnt all that noticeable youd somehow lose attraction Not knocking you for it Im just curious how such a small difference in height can make you lose all attraction.. I also get annoyed at the naopleon complex label..maybe some short guys are jerks just because well a lot of humans are jerks? ive seen this in the past..it's like a owmen will use any negative experience with a shorter Men and say all short men are bad.. If she dates a tall jerk i never hear womne say all tall guys are jerks ill never date them again.. Edited August 31, 2011 by Content
Author FrustratedStandards Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 I would think so. Since that's a good bit taller than me, I would automatically consider the 6ft version more powerful than her 5'4" counterpart. So, I see your overall point. Tall is associated with power, while short...well, isn't. I understand. I guess the only way to counter this (for us shorties) is to hope a woman can overlook it, because from my experiences, that's a big strike against you. Going after short women isn't a solution, unfortunately. That's why I think confidence, in this case, likely wouldn't be enough to change a thing...now that I'm actually taking the psychological factor into consideration. Damn it!!!! Now where dem special lifts for my shoes.... Maybe..... tall is attractive because many think the "height gives away penis size" myth is true. Maybe? Although in my experience, its more where you are from.
PJKino Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I never realized how much women find shorter guys unattratcive and love tall men till i came to these sites.. To each is own but its kinda depressing..Its hard enough to attract women but when you have a trait that seen as highly unattratcive from the get go it leaves you at a huge disadvantage.. I understand preferences..But not giving a guy a chance because he might be a half an inch under some height requirement you come up with? Women are pretty damn picky..
Author FrustratedStandards Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Women are pretty damn picky.. I suppose its easier for women to be picky because its not hard for them to get a guy into bed. At least, if that's the intention. If it's for long term or something serious, height or no height, it becomes equally as difficult for women to find someone.

Cracker Jack Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Maybe..... tall is attractive because many think the "height gives away penis size" myth is true. Maybe? Although in my experience, its more where you are from. That's possible. Some woman I knew for awhile said she was mainly attracted to tall men because she thought they all were large; then she ended up sleeping with one who was small and threw the myth out of the window rather quickly. Honestly, I think some women believe penis size correlates with height, but I just think a larger amount of women just like to feel really small next to their man--or be able to wear heels (that's the big one) without being taller than their man. I might be wrong, but I think I'm somewhat accurate there. Agree?

I don't understand short women who insist on guys at least 6 foot. Leave the tall guys for the tall girls! I'm 5'9" and 6' is perfect. I don't like guys over 6'2" (too tall), so I don't understand why some women want a guy 10 inches taller than they are, or why a guy would want a girl this much shorter.

I think it's true that humans themselves (regardless of whatever flesh capsule they're steering around) are capable of being jerks/cruel/nutty etc or the opposite: considerate/compassionate/grounded etc. Unfortunately, people do tend develop associations with what they can "see". The eyes are the vagina and the mind is a fresh womb for stigmas =x. I try to remind myself that sight is imperfect and in fact quite susceptible to being deceived by "illusions/light" etc but... drawing associations with sight isn't always negative. It's why I can not only overlook other features that are typically considered to be "ugly" --- but why I can become endeared to them and can appreciate them and show affection for them. People link things in their minds that, in truth, can't be applied to anything else (not precisely, anyway). There are other reasons why I prefer a taller mate --- it makes "me" feel more feminine and sexy. I also think that it has something to do with feeling like I'm with a "boy", if they're too short, and that's definitely not arousing. Every inch counts ... I think FrustratedStandards also brings up a point of feeling safe in a big and total encompassing embrace. And it's fun being packed around and able to pounce my guy and him just take it with ease (If I lost more weight to help a shorter guy be more capable of that then I'd be bordering on what I consider too thin, I like the curves I have at 112lbs... as for a "muscle-bound" shorter man, I don't like that lifestyle and the trade-off is not worth it). All in all it's probably just unnecessarily complex lol. Edited August 31, 2011 by OnyxSnowfall
thatone Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Does the same apply to women? Does the same woman seem more powerful if she is 6 feet rather than her 5'4 counterpart? yes. i have always liked tall women, for that reason. i'm not attracted to submissiveness, either in appearance or behavior.

It is what it is i guess;) I feel for you guys but what can you do.I posetd that article on here awhile back that said for a women to take a short guy over a taller man the tall men would pretty much have to be a murderer or pedophile Ladies in this thread evne said they can deal with ugly or avergae looking but not short. A short man to a women is like an obese women or maybe a burnt vitcim to a Man,its disgusts women

If you give them a shot, yet find different problems, height is not as much of a dealbreaker as it seems. Preference? Sure. Dealbreaker? Seems not.
OnyxSnowfall Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 fair enough..just seems goofy to me that 5'8 is aceptable yet the same exact guy a half an inch shorter would make the guy totally unattratcive to you.. hehe, well to be honest, around 5'11" is what I "prefer". Maybe it makes more sense that I've already scaled down from what I find far enough away from that, and scaling it further and further is like... asking a man who is appalled by too much weight, what it's like when he's with someone who is 20 or 25lbs beyond what he prefers. Difference being, weight "can" be changed...

In my experience, I have never been able to develop sexual attractions to men whom I deem to be too short. At one point I was open-minded about it... but after meeting men who were short and who shared a lot in common with me and "should" have otherwise been attractive... I certainly rejected short men after them, without even humoring them. As for ones who are a little bit taller, they have to be "extremely persistent" as in, not heeding my rejections or what I have to say about the matter. Yes, I've given "men" chances ... somewhat out of guilt and pity and likely for other wrong reasons. I am currently taken so I reject men by default now, regardless of their height but... yes. I've never had a sexual attraction to a short man. Just... hasn't happened.

Good old "correlation does not equal causation" thing.

Good old "correlation does not equal causation" thing. =P I suppose it means that we're all at risk of becoming sexually interested in something we've learned that we're just sexually indifferent to (if not appalled by). Lemme get ridiculous: If you are certain you aren't sexually aroused by dogs, you just haven't found the right one then. Maybe you're sifting through pit-bulls and you need to try poodles. Maybe there's all sorts of other reasons, besides the fact they're dogs, that it could be. I could think of worse that actually involve humans but, nah. If I met every short man, at every "legal" age and up, and somehow had the time and faculties to differentiate them all appropriately (not confusing the thousands of them together), I will just say it may be POSSIBLE that one might be able to get me moist. But the chances are really slim, and quite frankly, I already am very familiar with what CAN get me moist and what I DO want etc so... this is a safely/reasonably tried and tested thing for me. Not being sexually attracted to "short" men is not something I am "proud" of or something. And if I'm single and looking for a romantic partner, it benefits me in no real way to be deterred by it.

EnigmaticClarity Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Maybe..... tall is attractive because many think the "height gives away penis size" myth is true. Maybe? I've dated at least two women who said exactly that. There is some minor correlation between height and penis size, but mostly it's all over the place...as far as indicators go it's extremely crappy. It may be the only thing a woman has to go on unless you're bold enough to go digging for worms on the first date or you want to give 7orbetter.com a whirl.
FitChick Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 There is some minor correlation between height and penis size I thought it was small hands and feet.
AD1980 Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) I'm 6 ft. It's cool, but trust me, it hasn't transformed me into a rockstar. I think women really aren't attracted to men short men simply because it doesn't make them feel feminine. I think it's that simple. Think about how men are naturally taller than women on average. I'm sure this is something that's been going on for a loooong time. So naturally, I'm sure it's just a natural response in them. It's kind of like how I am completely turned off by women taller than me. (unless she is just banging hot..but even then, it wont last:o). And there's just something about embracing a small, soft female between your arms, while she rests that pretty head of hers on your chest:love: (and being just tall enough to grab that ass is even more bonus points) So I say, don't hate em for it. Because its just too natural for them. Instead, find a shorter girl (this is MUCH easier to accomplish, than trying to make a woman feel bad for not liking shorter men) Power to ya! Shorter Women are the biggest heightists It's not enough for a man to be just be taller most women want to be towerd over Edited August 31, 2011 by AD1980
Cracker Jack Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 ^Was about to post that. Good looking. But I must admit, being pissed at females for having this preference does nothing but make you feel worse and even more bitter. Something I've constantly did in the past. Since then, I've just learned to deal with this fact and accept the reality of it. I can still see why it's a touchy subject for some, because no one wants to feel like they're less desirable to a large amount of the opposite sex. It's normal. Fact of the matter is I see more same height couples or couples where the man is only a few inches taller than the woman (when the woman is about 5'5" or a bit less) and they seem to be happy. You'll see the occasional couple with man towering over the woman, but....who cares?
AHardDaysNight Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 No confidence doesn't change things. If someone is unattractive, he/she will remain unattractive.
AmEricanWomann Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Gotta agree on the short thing. A man who is really short wont be attractive to me no matter how confident he is, sorry. Its a real deal breaker with me. Oh and BTW, most women's preference for taller guys has nothing to do with penis size. Not that we don't mind a guy with a nice size magic stick, but its almost never the most important thing. Its how a tall guy makes you feel in his arms, especially if he's tall with great shoulders and big chest. Edited September 1, 2011 by AmEricanWomann

What's "really short"? and is it the smartest thing to judge a relationship on how someone makes you feel in their arms or chest? Sure beign rubbed up against D cups would be nice but its not one of the more imortant thigns on my list of a good parnter
AD1980 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 You know... guy to guy here: How masculine would you feel with a woman who is much taller than you? I get that whole thing of wanting to be smaller then thier man and us wanting to bigger.. i want to be taller then the women but its not enough just for man to be a litle taller ihe has to be a lot taller and they count their height in heels.. Women in this thread who say 5'10 and over are like 5'3 so its not as easy as you say to just go after women shorter then you and everything will be fine..
