EnigmaticClarity Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 A women 5'0 in this thread said 5'6 is too short for her Women want to be towered over I don't believe a majority of 5' 0" to 5' 2" women would reject a guy who is 5' 6". Some would, most wouldn't. I do believe it is a common desire--I've noticed the same thing in Match.com women's profiles for very short women--but not a majority desire, I think it's only around 20% to 40% of short women who have this preference.

I think you're wrong online datign at least the majorty of women no matter what their height is specify 5'10 or over.. Some will go down to 5'9 if you're under that online as a Man you might as well have leprosy
somedude81 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I have had guys tell me that they only date short girls, yes. Granted these were buddies of mine and not men I was pursuing, but the point still stands. Moreover, like everyone else I've been rejected in my lifetime and who's to say height wasn't a factor? Most people don't go around telling their dates/admirers why they're being rejected...particularly if the reason is physical. I don;t understand why you wont acknowledge this as truth. You seem hard-pressed to even see it as a possibility. As I said before, men really don't reject women based on height. Only in rare occurrences. Men are simply less picky than women. That's great. So a girl being taller isn't an absolute deal-breaker for you. Now what about the 5' tall girl mentioned earlier by another poster who you said was "too short". You'd still be passing her by based on height. Is that not shallow as well?Just because I think she's too short doesn't mean I wouldn't date her. Honestly, I like being able to look into a woman's eyes when we're both standing. It also makes kissing easier when we are the same height. But I'd still date a shorter girl. My point is, that everyone, male and female, has physical standards for who they date. Every now and then when an amazing person comes along, hopefully we all have the sense to deviate from those preferences. But my issue, is when a woman who is roughly my height, thinks that I'm too short for her. That's just retarded. For the record, my best relationship to date, was with a guy who was 5'7". That's right, two inches shorter than me. Go figure. Then you're one of the good ones.

I just did a Match.com proximity search of women 4' 6" to 5' 2" for my zip and clicked on the first ten women in the results. Two of the ten wanted guys 5' 9" or greater (one said 5' 10", the other 5' 11"). I'd like to do that search for your area and see what I see. I'll be very surprised if after looking at several hundred profiles that anywhere near half of girls 5' 2" or less are looking for someone 5' 9" or greater.

EnigmaticClarity Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 11426..... Three of the first ten who are between 5' 0" and 5' 2" aged 18 to 50 within 10 miles of that zip want a minimum of 5'9" or greater. Clicked on the next ten and found four wanting 5' 9" and up. Clicked on the next ten and three wanted it. It's not as bad as you're making it out to be, it's a minority of women.
Cypress25 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Short women are "lucky" that most men don't care about height. If they do, the fact that she has a vagina makes up for it. No woman in the world wants to be liked for her vagina. Besides, women get rejected all the time, for all kinds of reasons. Having a vagina doesn't guarantee success with men. Believe it or not, men do have standards. So next time you're with a tall guy, just be happy with the thought that he may wish you were taller, but your vagina makes you good enough for him It must be her vagina that he likes, right? It couldn't possibly be her personality or her sense of humor, or her beautiful face, or her killer body? There are a lot of factors (other than height) that determine attraction. A tall guy might date a short woman because he's attracted to all of her other qualities, not just because she has a vagina and that's good enough for him. If men were only after the vagina, they would date any woman. Even you wouldn't date anyone with a vagina. If that was your only requirement, you could easily find women to date. As I said before, men really don't reject women based on height. Only in rare occurrences. Men are simply less picky than women. Some men may be less picky than some women, but a lot of men would absolutely reject a woman if she was too tall. That's very common because most men prefer women who are shorter than them. They feel insecure and emasculated if the woman is taller. I have a few female friends who are 5'9" and taller, and they always complain that guys won't date them because of their height. But my issue, is when a woman who is roughly my height, thinks that I'm too short for her. That's just retarded. Just like most men prefer women who are a few inches shorter, most women prefer men who are a few inches taller. I mean, I wouldn't want to date a guy who was my height either. Luckily I don't have to worry about that, because I'm only 5'1" and I'm not dating 11-year-old boys. It's easy for me to find guys who are taller than me. I've ruled out men for being too tall (I prefer them no taller than 5'10"), but I might reconsider if the guy turned out to be perfect for me in every other way. I would happily date a 5'6" guy, but only because that would make him 5 inches taller than me. If I were 5'6" myself, I probably wouldn't want to date that guy. There are women who like short men, so you can't keep blaming your height for holding you back. Out of all the short guys I know (and I know a lot), only one of them has ever had any trouble with women. And he's a complete douchebag with no social skills; his height is not the problem.
Woggle Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Any guy who needs a short woman to feel masculine is an idiot and vice versa for women needing a man to make them feel feminine. I never gave a damn about any of that. Masculinity and femininity come from inside and and if you have it you don't need outside validation.
OliveOyl Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Masculinity is not about height or muscularity. Yes those help but they are not the real key. Masculinity is about a certain kind of presence. I remember in my 20's having a big crush on a friend who was probably 5'6" or shorter. Height may matter to a lot of women but it most certainly does not matter to all women. It really doesn't matter that much to me (I never had a thing for really tall men. They just don't do anything for me.) There is a solid percentage who just don't care that much about height. So find those women. They are out there.

It's only when women get to define masculinity that it becomes all about physical traits that mean nothing except getting panties wet, that in itself is thoroughly unmanly. Masculinity is not about height or muscularity. Yes those help but they are not the real key. [/Quote] Again, being physically attractive to women doesn't equal masculinity. Often times, the opposite is true. 21st century women should stop trying to define masculinity because whatever they say, real masculinity will be the anti-thesis of their opinion.

I think it's all subconscious. Like if you see a tall dude with big muscles, you just think he's more masculine. It might not be a CONSCIOUS thought, but your brain just tells you that. It's because of society, the media and what they shove down our throats about physical beauty and appearance.

I don't really see that many guys over 6' that have big muscles. There are some, but generally speaking most of the most jacked up guys I know are average of below average height. Some people say they're compensating, but in reality it's because it's a lot easier to put muscle on shorter limbs than it is on lanky arms that many tall males have, as well as the fact that testosterone is more concentrated. You need to be really dedicated or have amazing genetics to be a tall guy with big muscles. I find that intimidating people (if that's what you mean by masculinity) come in all heights and even body builds. One guy I would never want to fight unless necessary is this guy whose like 5'4, emotionally unstable, and not particularly muscular, but lord that guys punch will break walls. There's a skinny tall guy I grew up with whose similar. Body building came way after masculinity. It really only took off in Venice Beach in the 1960's, and being 6 feet tall has only become relatively common in the latter part of the 20th century.

Average guys with big muscles are considered masculine too though. Like 5'7 - 5'10 or 5'11 is average to me. Anything over that is tall. Anything under that is short. My point was you see a man with big muscles, your brain thinks he's more masculine even if it's not the case. You see a tall man with muscles or not, and you think he's masculine. Your subconscious says it, not so much your conscious mind.

LOL

LOL Well no because I know for a fact Russell Crowe is a bad ass mother f*cker. He does look like a little skinny puss in that pic though. If I didn't know who he was and if he had that skinny body like he does in that pic I might think differently or perhaps not. Tattoos like Rusty's also make a man more masculine even if he's a rail and 5 foot nothing. It's all about the visuals baby. I know you love to argue with me Wolfie. You are right and I am wrong, but I still heart you:love:

ShannonMI Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 Tats make a man more masculine? Sometimes they just make you look like a tool Sometimes they do. If it's a tat of f*cking Tweetie Bird then no. It depends on what it is.
SteveC80 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Height does make a huge difference,my friends wives tell me how lucky iam to be 6'3 and they wish their husbands were taller ,to me im just more off the ground the another guy to women it's like a magical spell Women are goofy but ive benefited from it:laugh:
