As with any dating requirements, if you can still find guys to date, then good on you and more power to you for your height preference. But if you complain that there are no men out there for you, then you'll get no sympathy from me, and I hope you die alone.

 

That being said, best of luck to you! :)

 

my complaint is there's too many men....and so little time.

I didn't expect rationality and logic as your premise was it's not a biological preference in gals since guys don't have a preference. It's clearly logical to think if gals have a biological preference then guys would have one as well otherwise gals it's not a biological preference. :rolleyes:

 

I think male biology has a preference for youth and waist/ hip ratio- even if they are not looking to procreate.

I'm not tall, and when I walk down the street people get out of my way. Why? Because I wear a tshirt with the face of Adolf Hitler, Dr Martens boots, and am a very angry person.

 

You obviously aren't the average short guy.

 

Maybe you are insecure about being short and overcompensate by being angry and shocking. Google: Napoleon Complex

I don't know what the story is with your experience, but why do you assume people get out of his way simply because he's tall? Didn't you say you were married to a black guy? That could be why, a lot of white people are scared of black people in general. Understandably, when you look at interracial crime statistics.

 

Possibly, but I live in a racially tolerant area. Most white guys around here don't have that fear because black guys are their friends, neighbors, classmates, teachers, coworkers, etc.

I agree there's likely a general preference for youth and a waist/hip ratio.

 

Though that's quite different from a tit for tat mindset of gals don't have a biological height preference since guys don't have a biological height preference.

USMCHokie pretty much said it.

 

If a woman wants a tall guy, then more power to her.

 

If she can't attain a guy who is tall and has all the other qualities she wants, then that's life.

 

I'll never come down on a woman for wanting someone tall...it's only when she complains and moans that all the tall guys only want to have sex and not commit, and all the guys who want to commit are short.

 

That's your dating pool then. Either choose to be a sex toy, or have a shorter husband, or be alone.

Even though many women in the forum do not plan to have kids they are still driven by evolution.

 

Taller men are associated with better genes and success even if there is no desire to procreate.

 

 

Right, even if he was a doctor and not a door-to-door insurance salesman, she STILL would not date him because of the height.

I'm actually showing this thread to my 5 foot 6 brother before he goes out - he doesn't have these problems......

 

This is how the convo went, just before he left

 

"Bro, how does your shortness affect your looks to girls?"

"............it doesn't."

"Fun size" is a relative concept. Remember that for every man with a short, skinny d*ck there's a woman with a loose, sloppy vagina. If you have a tight vagina, you can have fun even with a relatively small penis. And if you're "loose lipped", you may need a baseball bat to feel anything.

 

Someone has a small penis...it all makes sense now considering your complex about black men. Too bad you don't even have a .

The personality to compensate for it.

this whole height + dating thing is terribly over-rated.

 

...so a girl has a preference for taller guys; whoopty-friggidy-doo. stop the presses ! :laugh:

 

for the time i've been on LS, these sorts of threads accomplish two things: 1. make insecure shorter guys feel even more insecure about themselves; and 2., make dead-beat taller guys, who are essentially losers in every possible way except for being over 6 foot tall, feel better about themselves.

You're right. I'm done with the short guy threads.

Yep. Not forgetting the mass exaggerations of the over-proportionate amount of women who prefer tall men. Not that height is any great advantage, other than you can reach stuff and see over walls. I've been passed up for shorter guys before. There were times I was out with my bro and girls have come up to me.........to ask about him! :lmao:.

 

My cousin, is 5 foot 8. Dated models, even older than him. Has girls blowing up his line. Never mind the fact that he's a nutcase and sold crack, coke, heroin and weed out in the country. They still liked him. (none of them were clientele).

 

An acquaintance of mine is a semi-famous rapper in UK. Small dude, probably same height as bro. VERY popular with girls. Fame might have something to do with it, but he is also a very cocky guy, and doesn't mince his words. I reckon that's more attractive to girls than his fame.

 

I could tell many stories about my small friends. A close friend in school was always made fun of for his height. Fast-forward and he's 5 foot 8- and getting engaged to a hot latina girl. An old friend from school and his brother were both very small, about 5"6 and 5"4. Both very popular, and talented. Girls always liked them.

 

Could go on.......

5'8" really isnt short though.

 

I definitely think you either have to compensate to be successful as a short man. You describe your brother like hes probably pretty buff and masculine and kind of an arse with girls. If he was 6 foot tall, he wouldnt have to ... maybe.

 

I duuno. I'm used to it now. Being a little guy is just part of who i am. But i wouldnt want my son to grow up short.

I agree, 5 foot 8 is actually a decent height, never known anyone of that height to have trouble. Best friend is 5 foot 8, always did well with girls, still does. He was even stalked (that was not fun for him).

 

Yeah, my brother is a bit of an arse with girls. Not a jerk (well, he's cheated on his last 2 GFs so yeah, I guess he is), but he doesn't really take girls seriously. They tend to like him for it. He is very masculine, and has always been quite stocky and active, and it helps that he's a good looking guy (he's my brother, same blood, of course he's good looking :cool:). If my brother was 6 foot, he'd be exactly the same :laugh:.

 

I think it's best to get used to your shortness and love it. My brother actually doesn't care about his shortness, he embraces it. He's comfortable being short.

Come on. Mario obviously lost his plumbing job if he's resorting to picking up coins on the street. On top of that, he's short, fat, and he has a high pitched voice. Peach gives him a kiss on the cheek and then it's friend zone. She's just stringing him along for the next time she gets kidnapped.

Oh god...OP, unless you are a troll (I have my suspicions), why why why why WHY would you post this thread?

 

As if short men need more inflammatory material to fuel their self-deprecation; and as if tall men need more ego-caressing.

 

My ex was only 5'10 (I'm 5'9) but stocky and teddy-bear like. I loved it. I felt tiny and safe and secure in his arms, and knew that his height was a non-issue: he was clearly bigger and stronger than me (it helps that I only weigh around 110 lbs).

 

My current bf is 6'4 and slim/athletic and I love it. I feel like we "match" proportionally as far as body types go (tall and lean), even though he is about twice my size in lbs due to muscle mass. And, again, I feel tiny, safe, and secure in his arms.

 

I appreciate both of their builds...loved the way I felt with them, next to them, and in their arms. Height was and is a non-issue.

I think online dating is the primary culprit in the modern wave of height-obsession...with online dating, height became a quantifiable number...and myself being in the information field at work, I know that when you're given information like that, you'll find some way to use it...

 

For example, when's the last time you (general you...) met someone whilst out and about and asked them exactly how tall they were...? Or perhaps they were seated and before continuing a conversation, you asked them to stand so you could see how tall they were...?

 

Just a thought.

And your point? That just proves that I used to almost exclusively consider short-to-average height men my "type," and that I've since expanded that. In fact, I've noticed that my "type" is whatever guy I'm currently digging: short, tall, stocky, skinny, athletic, nerdy, dorky, fashionable, blonde, brunette...whatever.

 

Just like I said in both posts, there are perks to dating men of shorter and taller heights. I posted that post in a thread where TigressA was considering not dating a guy due to his being "too tall". I was just giving her reason give something outside of her comfort zone a chance.

 

Every boyfriend I've had before my current one has been shorter than me. I was very attracted to all of them. :)

Short man syndrome has become a meme on LS! :lmao:

 

Christ, most of the guys who suffer from it, aren't even short!
