Cypress25 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Ah ha! But don't expect a guy to always want to date much shorter women. I am 6' and wouldn't really want to go after a girl who is less than 5'6", all my previous girlfriends were at least that. It's a myth that all girls like tall guys. I wouldn't want to date anyone who's over 6 feet tall. Even 6 feet is pushing it. I'd much prefer to date guys in the 5'7" to 5'9" range.

If there is a HUGE difference, say, 6' man with 5' woman... overall attractiveness of couple lowers

I am 6' and wouldn't really want to go after a girl who is less than 5'6", all my previous girlfriends were at least that. Has to be at least 5'6? Damn. Not a lot of women are as tall as that or taller. Do you have trouble finding women who meet your height requirements?
AD1980 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Because even the short girls want a tall man. Bottom line: girls like tall guys Were well aware how shallow and vain women as a whole are but being "tall" is not the norm or average so tons of women will have to settle for short guys or be alone
jadedone Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 The best solution is to make lots of money and tell them you are 5'8" if you stand on your wallet.

ShannonMI Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 How is it any different then a women demanding a guy 6 feet or taller? Because women equate tallness to masculinity. If the dude is a jockey, he's not as manly. If he's 6 foot or more, he's more of a man. Yeah, I know it's ridiculous, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I know it's ridiculous, but it is what it is. My point is you brought up how him being picky about women beign 5'6 or taller limits his options because the avergae owmen isnt that height The average guy isnt 6 feet plus so a owmen who demands that is also limiting her options

Do you have trouble finding women who meet your height requirements? Really? I always thought people over in NYC are pretty tall no? I try to keep in my ethnicity, and yes sometimes finding an Asian girl at my height requirement is difficult... but not impossible. BUT, it's not a hard requirement for me If the girl is really great and we click and she has great values and fun, blah blah etc. Why NOT! But my last 2 gfs were 5'6" and 5'8"

ShannonMI Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Were well aware how shallow and vain women as a whole are but being "tall" is not the norm or average so tons of women will have to settle for short guys or be alone There are short men, average men and tall men. Women will date average and tall men. Short men have a harder time.

Yeah, I know it's ridiculous, but it is what it is. Women are goofy,so a shorter muscular dude isnt as masculine as a tall skinny guy because hes higher off the ground? Are all women this immature? Im glad i cant attract women sometimes,theyre naiveness is astounding

I see a lot of effeminate Men who do well with women

But my last 2 gfs were 5'6" and 5'8" I live in upstate NY, not NYC. Yeah they are all models in the city I'm 5'5. It's cool you can find girls that reach your height requirements AND are Asian. I'd imagine it would be difficult, but apparently not.
somedude81 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Somedude, I know you think women rule you out based on your height, but they don't. It's a myth that all girls like tall guys. I wouldn't want to date anyone who's over 6 feet tall. Even 6 feet is pushing it. I'd much prefer to date guys in the 5'7" to 5'9" range. And you pretty much ruled me out right there because I'm 5'6.... I know you're trying Cypress, but it seems that for every one woman who doesn't care about height that much, nine do. And then as you said, there is a huge chance that the one woman who doesn't care about my height, rules me out for something else. For as much trouble I'm having, I might as well be 400lbs.
ShannonMI Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I think height is more a status thing then masculinity.. I see a lot of effeminate Men who do well with women Well women do love gay guys. I do, that's for sure hahahahaha:laugh:
Cracker Jack Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Does getting on women about their requirements make you feel better? Lots of women are simply just attracted to tall men. That's life. At some point you have to let it go and try to focus on things you can change.

Content Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Height seems to be much more important online then in the real world ime,plus women will say they want a tall guy but any guy who makes them feel something they wont let height stand in the way I wouldnt listen to shannon luckily most women arent nearly as shallow as she is,she was ready to bang a stranger on here off having six pack abs

Ilovewater Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I would like the guy to be as tall as I am. I don't wear heels, so he doesn't have to worry about being taller haha. Some women don't mind short men though. One of my best friends is 5'9'', and her ex-boyfriend was only 5'5''. I know of a few other women who are taller than their boyfriends/husbands. They are out there, but I think most women still prefer men who are taller than they are. Can't really blame them, it's their personal preference.
Cracker Jack Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Sure there are things we can change, but how important to women are they? Depends on the woman. Some won't care if you're perfect in every area if you're lacking in height, because it's too much of a flaw to overlook--whereas others won't care. You gotta find the latter.
Eclypse Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I asked my girlfriend this the other day. She said if I was short she would have probably just rejected me outright. It's very important to her that the guy is tall, dark, handsome and athletic. I was flattered I guess thems the breaks unfortunately. Oh well, if she was fat I wouldn't have asked her out so I guess it evens outs
Wolf18 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Women are goofy,so a shorter muscular dude isnt as masculine as a tall skinny guy because hes higher off the ground? Are all women this immature? Im glad i cant attract women sometimes,theyre naiveness is astounding being muscular doesn't make you masculine either. If you think masculinity is about how many inches off the ground or how muscular you are, you are dead wrong and chasing a dead end. You'd be surprised at how many tall and muscular guys run away screaming when the **** hits the fan. Time to stop relating masculinity or feminity to superficial things like how tall you are. By that logic, tall women are masculine, yet it's safe to say there are countless graceful and feminine tall women. If women are sexually attracted by tall guys, that's one thing, but numerous anectodal experiences make the concept of "tall guys are masculine by default" pretty laughable.
