kaylan Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 At least you didn't hear "your penis is the smallest I've ever had". My friend recently told that to a guy who was very mean to her. HA....lovely. Mad funny
USMCHokie Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 cut back on the bar scene then. And work on your career and try to be funny. Girls like funny guys. 2
AD1980 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 The hilllarious part is women on here act like men are outlanidsh for wanting women in shape yet find strict height requierements women look for totally fine Its hard enough to find a women attracted to you mentally and physically when youre not that great looking facially but when you add height it seem like way too much work to attract women these days.. Ive given up
Cracker Jack Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 How exactly did your height come up in the convo?
Author O'farrell Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 How exactly did your height come up in the convo? A mutual friend told me this.
Cracker Jack Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I see. Well, Pyro's been on the money in this topic. There'll be women (yes, even shorter women) who won't date you because you're less than average height, but you just can't focus on those specific women and allow it to get you down. I'm only 5'8" myself, but I understand that despite my height, I more than make up for it in many other areas. So don't allow it to get you down. You win some, you lose some. 3
Pompom Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Strange, new discovery for me, this. I always considered guys short for being significantly shorter than me (5.7), but I never thought someone would call a man short as long as he's taller. If I were short, a so-called short guy who's still taller than me would not be short in my book. Unless she's not at all attracted, in which case she wouldn't mind the "shortness", I guess she missed an opportunity. I was hit on by a pretty short guy and he became the (unrequited alas) love of my life because he may be short, but charismatic and adorable. I saw that in him right away which made me not care about his size. Okay, when I closed in for the first hug I thought "Wow, he's tiny" but it didn't matter.
oaks Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Self esteem hurt. She said I was cute but I was too short for her shes 5'5! I am 5'7...... Well, you are shorter than average... and she's at (or maybe half an inch above) average... so I can see why she's concerned. Now, did she actually call you short (as per the title) or just that you are too short for her, which is rather different. Either way, don't worry about it.
Radu Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Should of called her fat. An eye for an eye mate! God no, it will validate her choice in her mind. You have to say something that will make her question her choice.
oaks Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 God no, it will validate her choice in her mind. You have to say something that will make her question her choice. Why does he have to say anything, let alone something with the intention of making her think a certain way? She's not interested... Walk away, don't play games. 1
Emilia Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 When someone isn't interested, they will often say something that they see as an explanation: short, fat, too old, too young, etc. It's frustrating because you can't do anything about your height and you are sensitive about it but when someone isn't interested, he or she will pick something to focus on. Happens to all of us OP
Emilia Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, because it's an attitude that defines somebodies height Your attitude defines your dating success. Talk about a downer
yongyong Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I am sure she is not the only one who rejected you for that reason. they just told you different reason. (eg: I have a bf) There is nothing wrong with this. However, saying something like that directly to someone's face is unacceptable.
Radu Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Why does he have to say anything, let alone something with the intention of making her think a certain way? She's not interested... Walk away, don't play games. To keep his ego intact long term. Over time, if you keep hearing rejection again and again and again, and you do not have amazing internal strength, you may blow up on her. It's better to come up with something to say that you are a gracious guy, and not show insecurity. It's weird, but it works.
madjac74 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 O'Farrell, I have these dress boots that add like 2" to my height. Women cheat with their heels why shouldn't we? I don't know what you would do in the summer though unless you wear jeans year long.

Emilia Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 brand of said boots? no don't, seriously. it will just make you look insecure. embrace your height, everyone has a disadvantage
madjac74 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 brand of said boots? Mine are Skechers but I've had them for a long time. I am sure many brands have something similar http://www.skechers.com/style/63464/blaine-rogen/brn Something like this! Look at the heel on that sucker
madjac74 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) no don't, seriously. it will just make you look insecure. embrace your height, everyone has a disadvantage Why do women wear heels? Because they are so comfy? And why does wearing a pair of dress boots make you insecure. I think it gives you an added bit of confidence like any piece of nice clothing or jewelry Edited August 20, 2012 by madjac74 3
kaylan Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 no don't, seriously. it will just make you look insecure. embrace your height, everyone has a disadvantage Let him use the boots if he wants. Girls wear make up, heels, push ups bras, and a slew of other things to make up for things they lack. 4
RedRobin Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Next time that happens, just laugh and tell them you are 'fun size' That's what I used to tell my ex-H. He loved it. My ex-H was 5'-7". I'm 5-6". For active women, there are alot of advantages to having a man close to her height. You can run together at about the same pace... ...biking is nice (no need to change the seat height). Don't need to adjust the seat in the car when you change drivers. That said... tall men seem to be gravitating to me lately... *shrug* I really don't care about height.
Emilia Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Let him use the boots if he wants. Girls wear make up, heels, push ups bras, and a slew of other things to make up for things they lack. They are supposed to be used to emphasize what they HAVE. A big difference
irc333 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah, because it's an attitude that defines somebodies height Average height in the US is 5'9-5'10. That's what most women here expect. Anybody under that is short. No way to escape it. Short men should start considering dating Phililpino women. Their entire race of women is probably no taller than 5'3".
