brahmabull117 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Oddly enough girls around that height are usually the biggest heightists not true at all. Plenty of 5'6 guys I know are dating girls around say 5'2 to 5'6 1
HopelessRomantic76 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 5'9 Short guys shouldnt take it personally its not even that most women find you unattractive its our own hangups of wantign to feel smalll and pettite and standing next to a short guy doesnt give us that feeling thats all
somedude81 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 At least some of us prefer around our own heights tho. If I was 5'6 I would date a guy your height no prob. Personally I think 6 ft would be too big for me I don't like feeling overwhelmed by a guy. Just date girls who are 5'2-5'3 dude, why is that so hard? It's not like I exclusively pursue women who are taller than me. The vast majority of women I've been into were under 5'5. The whole key is that I somehow have to get a woman attracted to me, and that is a lot harder when women are naturally attracted to men who are average height or taller. In terms of attractiveness, I'm basically the equivalent of a 300lb woman with a busted face.

Lonely Ronin Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 The whole key is that I somehow have to get a woman attracted to me, and that is a lot harder when women are naturally attracted to men who are average height or taller. IMO some women are attracted to what height implies, not your actual height. Strength, power, good genes etc. One thing you don't seem to get, is how much human interaction is based on perception. I'm 6' and pretty much every woman I know thought I was 6'2" or 6'3" when I initially meet them. My closest female friend summed it up, when she said it's how you carry yourself. If you carry yourself, like you're an unlovable dwarf, people are going to treat you that way. 2
somedude81 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 IMO some women are attracted to what height implies, not your actual height. Strength, power, good genes etc. There have been a few good reason to explain why women don't want guys my height. Unfortunately, being thoroughly convinced why I'm undesirable isn't going to do much for my confidence. One thing you don't seem to get, is how much human interaction is based on perception. I'm 6' and pretty much every woman I know thought I was 6'2" or 6'3" when I initially meet them. My closest female friend summed it up, when she said it's how you carry yourself. If you carry yourself, like you're an unlovable dwarf, people are going to treat you that way. That doesn't mean anything. At 5'6, I can't tell the difference if somebody is 6'0 or 6'5. Either way he is just tall. And there is absolutely noting I can do to carry myself that would make a woman think I'm 5'10.
Cracker Jack Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Out of all of the women you've been interested in, how many of them outright rejected you based on your height?
somedude81 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Out of all of the women you've been interested in, how many of them outright rejected you based on your height? Thankfully I haven't met a woman who was stupid enough to say something like that. It would be the same thing as me telling a girl that I'm rejecting her because she is too fat. Even if that is the one and only reason, I'll never tell that to somebody.

Seriously, non-snark, there are women like that, or women that feel like that. Does someone that "far down" deserve contempt? They're here reading this. Don't they deserve compassion and empathy as much as you? I'll stop posting to you now. I've made my point.
Lonely Ronin Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 And there is absolutely noting I can do to carry myself that would make a woman think I'm 5'10. no you can't make your self look substantially taller. Unless you're doing OLD, your exact height is not important, its more a yes/no question. Do you seem bigger and stronger than her.

They should hire a personal trainer and nutritionist.
iris219 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I'm not underweight. I'm small boned and have been skinny since I was born. I was 104 til I was like 24 that was underweight. I look very healthy. I do have wide hips, decent sized boobs and butt, that's what he means by curvy You're not underweight. I bet you have a great figure. I don't know why some people think thin girls can't be curvy. I'm thin, so I'm all butt, boobs, and toned muscle. I'm would say I'm curvy too. 3
MaxNoob Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 No, the majority of women prefer a guy taller than themselves. Yes, but short girls want a bigger height difference than tall girls. From a survey: Short women avg height 5ft 1.6in prefer a range of 5ft 7in to 6ft 1in mean preference of the group 5ft 10in Average height women avg height 5ft 5in prefer a range of 5ft 9in to 6ft 2in mean preference of the group 5ft 11.5in Tall women avg height 5ft 8.5in prefer a height range of 5ft 10in to 6ft 4in mean preference of the group 6ft 2in Women overall -5ft 10in to 6ft 1in was in the ideal range of all women, on average -all three groups of women have a range in their ideal of five to six inches, on average -the shorter the woman, the taller the start of her ideal range is, in relative comparison to average and tall women Sample Info ------------------------------------------------------- age range 18-65 # of men 1249 # of women 1458 average height of women in sample 5ft 4.9in average height of men in the sample 5ft 10.3in
AwkwardGuy Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Damn you guys who are 5'6-5'7, I'm 5'3 almost..you don't even want to know how much worse that is. I would kill to be 5'6. At least that's closer to average woman's height. I'm now thinking of selling the flat and getting leg lengthening to be 5'7. The saddest thig is - I've been rated 8,5/10 in the face, but because of height that makes me 1/10 to most women...
oaks Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 The first kiss has to be picture perfect like in the movies? I had a girlfriend that was almost 2 feet shorter than me and didn't matter to us at all. We were sitting next to each other for our first kiss. Not picture perfect, but it seems like it's going to be an exercise in logistics if there's too much of a height gap... although sitting would help! Ok, so I just messaged someone online and she's a foot shorter than me. We'll see how it goes. (most likely, of course, she won't reply)
oaks Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I'm thin, so I'm all butt, boobs, and toned muscle. I'm would say I'm curvy too. You're tall, thin, and curvy. This just keeps getting better and better. Where are you again? 1
silicone Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Confidence only takes you so far with relationships and dating. The girl has to find it within her that she'll accept you for your height. I had 3 years of rejection from girls then I cooled down for a while before my now girlfriend kissed me whilst I was sleeping, twice in the same night. That said, we were flirting heavily before.

But I don't know how it feels to be 5'3 either. Unless your going to be 5'7, I wouldn't go through that surgery. Because once height is under 5'8, every inch is more pronounced. A 5'6 guy will look shorter than a 5'7 guy even if an inch is their only difference.

I'm shorter than the average female, at 5'2" I do look very short, but most people think that I'm older when they meet me. One even thought that I was married with kids
AD1980 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I dont know if theres any scientific data on this but it seems a lot of womens height preferences are linked to how tall their father is
Kofybean Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 ...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?... Because every man wants to have the same chance at love as the next. Why is this difficult to understand? Granted, it may be a well beaten horse topic, but why do people go on as if they are completely clueless as to why this complaint exist? Do people seriously not understand why a man would have an issue with something that limits (greatly for some men) their chances at finding someone?
Monm82 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 About options: Women have more much sex options. Women have much more dating options. When it comes to relationships, it's a little more even, but still slightly leaning towards women.
