Because for the most part, you van CONTROL weight, so the inherently laziness of people will cause them to be more steadfast in their convictions that judging weight is shallow. 2
jobaba Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Being the total LS addict that I am, these types posts are always hilarious (to me) because what can you do about your height? Who cares what anyone thinks? What are you going to do with this information? Get leg extensions? I live in France, where men are relatively quite tiny and I forget how much so until I fly from Paris to Amsterdam, to the land of Dutch giants... I've been hot for men of all heights - from 5'4" to 6'8" and my current objet d'intérêt maybe 5'5" tops... super hot and it's not even a "he's short, but sexy" kind of thing - I don't even think about how tall he is (or isn't). By eliminating men based solely on their height (like using it as a search criteria in a dating site), women are really doing themselves a disservice and missing out on some potentially great guys. My two centimes. I would like to say something... When I read this post, and saw this poster's avatar, this poster became instantly more attractive to me. And it's not because I meet her height requirement, it's because of her attitude. I actually do meet the minimum height requirement for a few of the women who posted them. It's not like I was like, "I'm above 5'4. Yes!" I still thought it was let's say ... not too attractive of a thing to say. So, ladies, when you start rattling off strict physical preferences, realize that one day you may come into contact with a 6 foot tall, handsome successful man who was raised by good people. And when he hears you say something like that, he'll find it unattractive. It's rare perhaps, but I do believe such guys are out there.

I think that double standard is accepted in some environments as I highly doubt it's the norm. Perhaps the reasoning for the double standard you listed is the assumption that women are more sensitive and suffer more physical insecurities than men who can "take it like a man". In my environment the double standard is it's acceptable to make fun of fat/ugly women but not short men as height can't be controlled while weight and unattractive can since women can diet/exercise and have so much at their hands to improve their appearance. 1
Els Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I don't get some of the venom going around this thread. The question wasn't 'at what height does a man look like a little boy', or even 'what height do you consider to be a dealbreaker'. It was 'at what height do they become unattractive to you'. I'm sure everyone has opinions on what is and isn't attractive to them. Doesn't mean they'll necessarily choose their partners solely based on that - and THAT, to me, is the definition of being shallow. I could start a thread with 'at what weight does a woman of average height become unattractive", and I'm sure plenty of men would be happy to contribute. So.. what's the big deal? This is just like any of the 23762378697823 physical threads floating around. Now, I'm compelled to answer the question or get ousted for derailing, so.. probably around 5'4" or so. I'm really short so I have the luxury of finding men 3-4 inches taller to be attractive, and still finding that at least 90% of adult males fulfill that requirement. 2
jobaba Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Clicking on and reading this thread was like that last shot of Tequila at the end of the night when you're already way gone ... "Don't do it, don't do it. You know it's going to be bad." But I did it anyway. Lord knows why. 2
somedude81 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I'm not denying that men have needs that depend on other people. Unfortunately, we're living in times and places where the people around us are frankly turds, in women it's expressed most egregiously. I'll be the first to say that it can be depressing and weigh down on me sometimes to live in a society like America too. But as men, we have to adapt and improvise. Didn't you ever get into a situation where you had to create your own solution to solve a problem, because it wasn't obvious or pre-packaged for you? Be MacGuyver and use your masculine ingenuity (it's women who find and use things already made..already made by a man!) Get your social and intellectual stimulation from your male friends. Start ignoring women. You'll find more sense and principles on Kids Say The Darndest Things Get your sexual stimulation from escorts. One time I went through a period of some months where my sexual desires were extremely powerful and yet I had no outlets or women around who would even touch me, the worst part was not seeing any light in the end of the tunnel. All I could think about was sex, and was completely neglecting the rest of my being. One day I went on The Erotic Review to see what kind of hookers were in my area and to vet for people with drug problems or diseases (make sure to read their reviews), slept with a good looking chick for a couple hundred bucks, and came out of her room whistling and skipping. It was worth every penny, it was my THERAPY . I know a lot of women here think that is liek soooooo gross, but who cares what they think when men need intimacy for their sanity just like them and can't just have one night stands by pointing at someone at a bar like women? Stop listening to women, start listening to your instincts. If your instincts are dull and have been beaten out of you by this Matriarchal society, then get some instincts worth listening to. Read Plato and Nietszche, try to emulate the Bhagavad Gita, train in a combat sport, live your life for justice and don't fear looking death right in the eyes , much less the poor man's ...man (virtually all women I know with exceptions I can count on one hand). So the only answer is hookers. Unfortunately, I can't afford to get a hooker on a regular basis. And getting a good job so I can afford frequent hookers seems extremely pathetic.
proseandpassion Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I should note right here that I find the actor Peter Dinklage sexy. And he's 4'5". He also has a hot wife.

I am overweight and if the posts on this board were any indication I should be shipped off to a nunnery by now. But I have plenty of options and get a lot of male attention. No worries. People online are always going to voice their absolute "dream" scenario, but real life doesn't work that way. 2

Bob_Funk Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I am overweight... But I have plenty of options and get a lot of male attention. Well, that's because guys have very lax standards when it comes to sex and dating. The same doesn't hold true for girls. Quite the opposite in fact. 1
Lonely Ronin Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Well, that's because guys have very lax standards when it comes to sex and dating. Speak for yourself. 1
udolipixie Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 If a guy is overweight and gross like you, he will remain celibate until he either 1) gets a hooker or 2) Slits his wrists I highly doubt that considering that many overweight guys have sex without hookers and are dating, in relationships, or married. 1
brahmabull117 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Well, that's because guys have very lax standards when it comes to sex and dating. Speak for yourself buddy 1
somedude81 Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Women are more picky then men. That's just the way it is. One thing you'll never see, is men saying that they'll refuse to date a girl who is 20lbs overweight and yet that would be the same thing as women saying they won't date a man who is under 5'8. The average chubby girl has a hell of a lot more options then the average short guy.

The average chubby girl has a hell of a lot more options then the average short guy. I and many others have seen that plenty. The average chubby girl likely has more options than than the average short guy because it seems guys are more willing to be sex options than girls and some guys are probably hoping she'll lose the weight while most girls probably know he wouldn't be growing taller.

I'm not even talking about just sex. Many guys are willing to have relationships with women that are overweight. There are also many guys who are actually into BBW, "big beautiful women" What you don't see are women who are into SSG "sexy short guys"

There are also many guys who are actually into BBW, "big beautiful women" What you don't see are women who are into SSG "sexy short guys" It being something you've never seen is why it's probably best suited to state "One thing I've never seen" rather than "One thing you'll never seen" as if your experience is the standard or norm. I'm aware you're likely and that doesn't change that the just sex options are probably why the average chubby girl has more options than the average short guy. Likely there aren't women who are into SSG "sexy short guys" because women often are encouraged to give chances, let attraction grow, see past looks, and disregard looks. Bit unnecessary to me for there to be women into SSG when likely many women are into character via suppressing or overlooking physical attraction.

jobaba Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) One more plug for positivity in humanity... and then I'm Audi 500 for the day. This being the Olympics time, I was googling gymnasts and came across this guy on the US team (Go USA! ) Jonathan Horton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He's 5'1" and white. This is his wife. Player Bio: Haley DeProspero - SoonerSports.com - Official Athletics Site of the Oklahoma Sooners Sure, she's short too, but if she were a 'normal' woman, she wouldn't even touch a guy 5'1". I mean, she's not that short for a woman, cute, great body, talented, and she's a freakin' gymnast (think flexibility guys). She could get any guy she wants pretty much. Could she set her bar at 5'10"? No doubt. I mean, what is wrong with her? Doesn't she realize she could do better? Instead, she realizes that she is attracted to him despite his height and they have common ground ... gymnastics. What a novel concept! Edited August 1, 2012 by jobaba 1
Leopard Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I never got this concept of compensating for a totally neutral trait, like being average height. Why date someone that has something so bad, he has to "make up" for it with a lot of money or some other overcompensation that makes women reconsider? You mean like how below average women need to compensate by having incredible personalities and being foxes in bed?
