5ft6 and under, especially if he is insecure about it - if he's not insecure about it, then it might not even matter that he's under 5ft6.

 

5ft11 and over, he may be attractive, but physically, I've found that guys that tall aren't very compatible with me. I once dated a guy who was 6ft2 and he also lifted - it was very awkward.

But don't you see, his tallness is an aphrodisiac, like catnip for women, his tallness maxes everything out and makes him a 10.

 

Oh, what do you know, I'm tall, I guess that makes me a 10 :lmao:

 

:laugh:

 

I'm female and thin, so I'm a 10, too! With those two factors, I don't even need to have personality. Whew. What a relief. ;)

I see this guy and people who look like him getting a lot of woman attention for the most part. http://www.magweb.com/picts/actor/83604/dean_mcdermott.jpg

 

 

He's just the right amount of tall with a twist of a scumbag vibe. I've got about 50% of those things women respond to :laugh:

 

I'd be afraid to have babies with him. I wouldn't want my full lips genes die with me and I want my kids to have pretty faces :laugh::p

Verhzns situation is bad ... for a woman but she's still far ahead than the guys on here. Her male equivalent, SomeDude81, has not had 1/100th of the experiences with the opposite sex (in terms of sex, relationships, and others) that she has. Even on this forums she's getting offers from all over the world, I bet she gets lots of PM's too.

 

But does she talk to Somedude or try to work it out with him? Hell no. She instead drools over your fake pictures and pretends you're actually smart or funny (you are neither) when you posted your first account.

 

 

 

I'd rather be the man too, but not for romantic reasons. An ugly woman can get a decent looking mate just by not being fat, atleast in America.

 

I know you love hollywood gossip, so I will show you an example you could comprehend. Look at Tori Spelling and her husband, who is pretty much what every woman is looking for in a man physically. Tori Spelling has a hideous face, yet she was able to get with a guy far above her in looks.

 

How about that Kardashian that looks like shrek. She's with...erm, what's-his-cock, oh yes, Disick, who is very wealthy and handsome.

 

Having a lot of money can get you women sure, but why would anyone want to have a committed relationship with a prostitute?

 

 

 

 

That isn't true. How common is it for famous guys to leave their women for the nanny , etc? Most famous men are married or dating nobodies, while women in hollywood instead opt for fellow movie stars, or bigger names than them.

 

 

 

You're looking at things with incredibly biased eyes

 

 

Let's consider a few things here

 

 

1)Yes women can get sex much faster than men can. This is men's fault for having absolutely no standards at all. I've seen very good looking guys bang fatties and seen it often. Men have no standards for sex

 

 

2)Men are the pursuers and women are the ones getting pursued. This basically means that the men who don't have the confidence to pursue at all will be left with nothing while the women who are at least average looking are still going to get pursued. Somedude's story is not indicative of the real world. Most average looking guys who have some confidence to pursue and approach women are going to have some success. I've never met a 31 year old virgin in my life so let's not pretend like that's a regular occurrence. A guy with no interest or desire in pursuing is about the equivalent of a horribly fat and ugly chick

 

 

3)The top 20% of women who are beautiful/have nice figures have it far far far far far far better any other part of society. This is just reality and always has been since the beginning of mankind. Just accept it because it will never change. The other 80%? Sorry I'd rather be a man, you just have more potential

 

 

4)Men are just as picky as women when it comes to relationships. I've asked many many websites online about dating preferences and across the board, 90 - 95% of guys say dating is 50/50 between appearance and non appearance traits. Yes an average looking girl with terrible personality could go to a bar and probably get laid but she'll have a very hard time keeping a relationship because men will hate to spend time with her. It's a complete myth that guys aren't picky when it comes to dating/marriage. Complete myth

 

 

The thing is that men are more willing to sacrifice on success/income because of pregnancy. Men can earn money all the time while women often have to take time off to have kids. This is why women are more willing to sacrifice on looks - they need a man who is stable so they can have kids without worrying about going into bankruptcy

 

 

5)Kim Kardashian is gorgeous. What the hell? You're trolling right now?

 

 

6)I can post tons and tons of examples of very hot women with ugly ass husbands/boyfriends. Look at Trish Status' husband. Dude is a nobody and Trish is gorgeous. I can post examples of the opposite too of course, so it all evens out

 

 

7)How are most Hollywood men dating or married to nobodies? Arnold was married to a kennedy, Brad Pitt dated Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie, etc... etc...

 

 

Life isn't nearly as one sided as you're making it out to be. It's all actually pretty even across the board and makes perfect sense if you look at it with an objective perspetive

Spent a lot of time with friends at a summer share this past month and each of the married women made commetns about how theyd never date a short guy and belittled guys under like 5'10 its pretty insane how powerful this height thing is for even really short women

 

I dont even mind the prefeence but it seems women look down[no pun intended} on short guys as less manly then other guys its beyond just not being attracted its almost as if they annoy women and make women feel less feminine and pettite beign around them

Another thing that gets me, is when a 5'3" woman demands a guy that is 6 feet tall.

 

You know when a woman says, "I wear heels...so...." Yeah, if they're factoring in their heels into the height factor, it pretty much sums up how shallow they are, when they care too much about an accessory of fashion.

 

Getting sick of seeing, "He must be taller than me in heels"

 

 

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 actually understand this one, as i know several women in the 5'8" to 5'10" range. Pretty much all of them associate being shorter and lighter to being feminine. So the heels thing is just about making sure they look/feel feminine around you in the worst case scenario.

Snap, and I'm 120 lbs. Does that make me a 10 too, or do I need to be 100 to be that? :laugh:

When are women going to stop thinking that less weight = more attractive?

 

 

 

 

Straight men like lots of curves, as long as you're not fat. Perfect size for me is maybe 5'5 135 LBs (assuming she works out)

Do you know what being 6 foot does for me? I hit my head on a lot of things...yay!

Oh, I can see over stuff. I can reach high and I can kick little people in the face without much effort - if I was a mean bastard :laugh:.

no, just the majority. Most straight men like lots of curves

 

 

Hell Victoria Secret models are way too thin for me and way too thin for lots of guys. Adriana Lima has no ass and Giselle Bundschen has zero appeal to me

The last girl I was in love with was 5'2 and 97 lbs but she was very sexy...mostly because of her sarcasm and intellect

You could say the same thing about a lot of the shorter guys here and the fixation they have on height. I think part of the reason is it's a concept to latch onto. It seems in today's society very few people want to here, that to be considered generally attractive to the opposite sex, they have to be a very refined person.

That was sarcasm on my part, m'dear. ;)

He likes to make these kind of statements even though it’s simply what he prefers, not all men or even most men.

 

I know many men who think Kim Kardashian is :sick:. My best guy friend loves short, petite, dark haired girls. My best friend is a personal trainer; she’s tiny and an AA cup. Men love her. I have never dated men who were into heavy, curvy women. Of course, some men prefer very curvy, but it’s by no means the majority.

Not really because overwhelming majority of girls do prefer a tall guy

 

 

I've never really been into very thin girls and neither are a ton of other guys. So it's not a valid comparison in that regard

No, the majority of women prefer a guy taller than themselves. Just as how the majority of men prefer a woman who weighs less than themselves. Sure, not all men want 90 lbs women, but equally so not all women want 6'3" guys. That's the whole POINT.

You can be petite/thin and curvy too. I've seen 5'0 100 LB girls who had nice figures and looked great

 

 

My point was not that all guys are into 38D breasts or 40 inch hips, that most guys just like a woman who is healthy and curvy looking

 

 

Losing weight does not necessarily make you more attractive, that's all I was saying and women's obsession with being super thin is ridiculous. They're better off working out to gain some muscle and make themselves more ahtletic

I'm not sure if I agree you, primarily because I think 95% of women would prefer a 6'3 guy in a perfect world and that's just not true at all when it comes to weigh with women

 

 

 

My perfect girl would be around 130-140 Lbs

Uh... no. Personally, I think a 6'3" guy would look really weird with me because I wouldn't even reach his armpit. We'd look like father and child, not partners. And I know many women who echo this sentiment. I personally don't give a crap about height and would never exclude a man purely due to being too tall or too short, but my preferred height in a man is most definitely not 6'3".
