mesmerized Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Right, but heels don't simply make a woman have nice looking legs. If you have short dumpy legs, you will still have them when you are in heels. They aren't a magic camoflage, lol. I have long legs and they they are "toned"....they look that way in heels and in flats. Really you walked into a pole? I guess seeing good looking legs is rare then if it causes THAT. Which...kinda proves my point that heels don't make regular legs suddenly look amazing. But they do make them look better. I'm a short girl who wear heals often so I should know.
KraftDinner Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Yeah, but you're already tall....so you have an excuse. LOL. It's more reasonable. But a woman who is already shorter than the guy, well...says she's like 5'3" and she won't date anyone less than 6 feet? Sorry, just doesn't cut it. Cut what, exactly?
O'farrell Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 I've never offered up my "plus heels" height to anyone, though I've had several men ask ("...so, wow you'd be like 6'3", 6'4" in heels?") more times than I can count. I don't get involved with men shorter than myself, but that's because I am really tall, and it's awkward being intimately involved with a small person. Things just don't line up very well. Also, while I don't believe short men all have complexes, I do find it odd that someone much shorter/smaller than me would find me appealing. It may not be fair, but I do wonder, is it a power thing or a mommy issue? Here we go again. The man is still stronger than you. And how come liking a taller woman would be a mommy issue? Ridiculous.
silicone Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 I do think personal choices plays a large role in the height one reaches as an adult. In a correlative sense, nutrition, exercise and other controllable variables are all proven determinant of adult height.They should have eaten their vegetables when growing up and lived healthily. Now they can suffer for their impure childhood. Or some of us might just be small... I was born two and a half months early, on the very small side -- exceeded expectations to live, exceeded medical expectations when I went through puberty, but I'm still very short, within that 2% percentile, if less for someone my age. I love my vegetable, I love my food. I'm a bit softer and every so slightly round but it's going away slowly. I didn't like meat too much, but I ate it when I was given it. I also note that I had meat about once or twice a week the rest were vegetables. I had a financially positive upbringing. The only thing that was wrong, I feel, in my childhood was that I was always compared to my friends, by course of intellectual, mental and physical metrics. That has caused me to become competitive, though very subtly.
RachR Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I get a kick out of some women, if they're 5'6", but they say, "I come up to 5'11" in heels, so you would have to be 5'11" or higher for me to date you, or else it won't work." What's the obsession of including heels as part of your height? Just curious though, let's say if this weren't online dating....if a man that approached you, ladies that didn't meet the above criteria....would you even notice or if you did notice, would you ever care at that point if he was funny and engaging? Women do this? I didn't know that. I am 5'7. When I wear heels I can be up to 5'10.5. When I say I prefer a guy to at least be taller than me, I mean 5'8+ Edited December 15, 2012 by RachR
