It's like being a short male - forever alone

 

Petite girls are hot. Provided they are hot, besides being petite.

 

I think really tall girls could have more difficulties than women that are average height to petite, but still probably have an easier time than short guys.

oh fellas i just watched a documentary about evolution which made me understand why girls like tall guys, something about the prey and predator and wanting a more capable offspring.

 

You need to be able to see above the foliage. Makes it more difficult for stuff to sneak up on you.

Man, you need to get over this height thing. My last two gf were 5'9 and 5'10 and I am close to 5'9. Not tall by any stretch.

 

Some women will always find a reason not o date you: your hair, your height, your weight, and etc. but here are plenty of women that will.

An under 5'7 guy is roughly equivalent to a 300lb woman.

 

 

Heh, it's almost as if every inch under 5'10 is equal to 100 lbs.

 

5'9 guy = no issue.

5'8 = 200 lb woman

5'7 = 300 lb woman

5'6 = 400 lb woman

 

Yup, I'm as hot as a 400lb woman. Go me!

Am I the only person who finds this incredibly appealing....? :(

 

I actually think short guy = overweight girl...yes, it can be changed, but I'm assuming that we're taking a single snapshot in time of a person's surface traits...so we don't care whether they can change their height or weight...we just care for that one moment in time whether they are physically attractive to us...

 

So if a guy is short, then he's short. If a girl is overweight, then she's overweight. We don't gauge what she's going to look like in five years, do we...? :confused:

But then who do overweight guys equal? Because there are plenty of women who find overweight guys unattractive.

Overweight guys = short guys = overweight women = etc.

 

I'm a big proponent of the binary system, so everyone's either a 1 or a 0, and any unfavorable characteristic will affect someone's attraction to another.

You'll never succeed in dating. I hate to be the first one to tell you that. And it's not due to your height, but due to your intelligence.

She told you the truth. Plenty of guys your height and shorter that have no problem dating. If you were taller, you'd find a different problem to point at and blame.

I've said repeatedly, that if I had my Dads height of 5'10, (instead of being 5'6) I would have no problem with women at all. None. I'd probably be married right now.

 

Yes I know that there are tall decent looking, not overweight guys who do horrible with women. The main reason for their troubles is their personality. And IMO, if they're tall and decent looking there must be something really wrong with who they are to make them undatable. Here's the kicker, from what I've experienced in my life, observed and read about; my personality, aggressiveness etc would be good enough to land me a girl(s) if I were taller. There's also the obvious thing that my confidence would be higher because I wouldn't be carrying around "short man's mentality."

 

Long story short, if nothing about me at all changed except for my height, I'd do fine with women.

 

The next point is that there are short guys who do OK to great with women. What they all have in common, is that they have, high confidence, very outgoing personalities and are possibly very funny. In other words, they used some excess of their personality to overcome being short. But you know what, being very outgoing, having a killer since of humor. Those things are also genetic.

 

Like my parents, I am a quiet introverted person. I have to force myself to be more outgoing.

 

TLDR: A quiet short guy gets no love from the ladies.

So where would very tall women fall in this equation? From what I have seen, super tall girls have issues competing with other females just like short guys have a problem competing with other men.

Only short guys have a problem with tall women.

 

And since a girl would rather gouge out her eyes than be with a guy shorter than her, it's not an issue.

BS unprovable fantasy. Besides guys that are tall and good looking not having a good social life there are also plenty of short ugly guys that do fine. You're just living in a fantasy world that limits you because its comfortable and you don't actually have to do anything because it'd be pointless since it wouldn't work anyway because of your severe handy cap. Plenty of guys worse off that do better than you with women. You're like those dudes that are completely convinced, "that hot chick wants me". But they'll never do anything about it because it might disprove what they so want to believe.

How many tall women do you know? And Im talking 6ft and up. Ive known a couple...especially when I was in college, as some sports girls were taller. They werent in high demand and will tell you that. And seeing as most guys would be close to their height or shorter than them...plenty of guys had a complex about it. Or simply felt "it wouldnt look right".

speak for yourself. i have a date tomorrow with a girl taller than me, and she isn't the first taller girl i've ever dated. and no, she isn't obese, old or unattractive either

 

but of course, by the laws that govern the intertubes, i'm just another anonymous lying troll. i couldn't possibly contradict the elders of the loveshack ! :rolleyes::laugh:

Dude being tall won't help you, I'm terrible with the ladies, but I'm tall enough I can walk into a store and be the tallest guy in the building or at least one of the tallest people, which is helpful for looking over people's heads but not necessarily getting a relationship.

Can you explain what you believe is holding you back with the ladies?

The reason you do so poorly with women, is your personality. Honestly most of the women I know would probably bitc* slap you or throw their drink in your face after having to listen to you talk about anything for 20 or 30 minutes.

 

You are abrasive, & obnoxious as all get out. You think you know everything, but your dating history or lack thereof shows you don't know jack. You have an inferiority complex the size of the Titanic, and a disdain for women that I don't know what to compare to.

 

Regardless of what you think, I promise it's blatantly obvious to everyone around you.

Ask yourself the same question just be honest, except don't think about your height, unless you are so short you can be classified as a midget then that may be causing issues. Now what other issues do you think could be holding you back?

 

For me a host of things can be holding me back I'm not sure exactly but I feel that I'm somewhat socially inept at times (I'm not retarded just have difficulty in social situations), I have a speech impediment, super nerdy, shy, no relationship experience at all (never even been kissed), and I have a few minor physical issues as well being my scoliosis, left hand whose fingers do not extend out and the tips for some reason do not work without assistance, somewhat out of shape (most people say I look strong but I could do better), bad skin (working on it).

ROFl! :lmao:

 

You must know some extremely violent women because I've never been bitchslapped. And I have talked with many women for 20-30 minutes.

 

Abrasive, & obnoxious, hardly. Yes some people take offense on some of my beliefs. There is so much more to me beyond that.

 

Newsflash dude, many men think far worse about women than I do, and they do far better with women than I.

 

I have never cursed at, yelled at or hit a woman, do you think I'm worse than somebody who has? Cause right now, you're making it seem like I'm scum of the Earth.

 

Piss off.

I can't post the photo here because of invasion of privacy issues but...

 

I was just Facebooking time away and an old co-worker of mine got married. Preppy, blonde girl. Smart, BU grad. Very cute in a conventional/consensus sense (although I didn't like her). And NOT someone who would have to settle for someone less than 6 foot if she didn't have to. Nor someone with the personality that would settle for any less than the best. She had pics all over the place. I guarantee she's much prettier than a lot of women who post here and dog short men all the time.

 

She was like an inch or two shorter than me, so 5'3" or 5'4". And maybe a three inch heel. And her husband had on shoes and they were about even. So, he's like 5'6".

 

Like someone said, in a previous post, if you're a short guy, run, run, run from this place and never look back. :laugh:

A cups?

fat?

ugly?

old?

I don't mind short men as long as they don't have dicky-doos
