Body vs height when it comes to getting dates.

[Necromancer]

Women if you had a headless body would you rather date 5'9 muscle man(190lbs)or 6'3 skinny dude.

[MrCastle]

<---Proud, short, muscle-less man that cleans up

[Necromancer]

6'3" skinny dude...he can gain weight.

 

He has retarded metabolism so he can't gain weight. Try again!.

[edgygirl]

Height is prob my only 'requirement' looks-wise, so 6'3 will win anytime. Sorry.

[yongyong]

It would be different for women btw

 

5' with nice body Vs 5'6" with chubby chin and belly.

 

Obviously 5'. men don't care about women's height as long as she is shorter

[Badsingularity]

Guys who are not 6' 3"

 

Do not feel discouraged by this thread.

 

There are certain traits a man can have that can cause powerful attraction no matter his height. Work on those.

[Jono85]

Everyone can gain weight...either by diet, exercise, or a combination of both...barring that he can obtain medical help (thyroid medication). Try again!!

 

Assuming he's fully grown, he'll never get taller without serious surgical intervention.

 

I'd still take the skinny dude either way. Short is short.

 

"short is short". i know right, isn't it crazy that you're forced to live in a world with shorter men too? pretty raw deal if u ask me.

We have to live in a world with flat women. Both sexes got screwed

[iris219]

I love skinny guys, so definitely the tall, skinny one.

 

190 at 5'9" sounds huge to me!

[Carenth]

I'm a 14' giant, so awesome I have my own magnetic pole that attracts women. I have no other redeeming qualities and I get all the babes because that is the only factor a women looks at in a partner.

 

These height threads are getting a bit old...

[MrCastle]

there will always be more than enough tall guys to go around.

 

well being that tall is an outlier, and then from that outlier the men have to be

 

-physically attractive

-single

-be attracted to you

 

I'd argue that window is pretty small.

 

*Sigh* Me and math. I have to stop bringing logic into these conversations.

[Mer-Maid]

Everyone CAN'T gain weight - that's a myth! My mom new a woman who was boney and she drank cream, among many other fatty foods, trying to gain and couldn't gain an ounce. She hated it!

[Jono85]

Who cares what she prefers. Everyone, including yourself, has preferences that will exclude a segment of the population.

 

i agree with you. but i also think it's ****ty to say flat chested is flat chested. to me, as a guy, IF i prefered bigger chested girls (which I don't, i like a nice B cup) i would still never say "i'd prefer the chubby girl with the nice tits b/c well an a-cup is an a-cup". is there nothing that sounds sh*tty about that to you? lol.

[MrCastle]

Your math makes no difference LOL! Haven't had a man under six foot in over a decade...and they were single or married to me, attractive to me, and apparently attracted to me.

 

Hate to bring evidence into these conversations.

 

Why are you guys so touchy about this? We're all entitled to our preferences. Is it necessary to couch them in terms that make those individuals who don't appeal to us comfortable with them? Why should I not be able to say that I would go for the tall, skinny one without getting an eyeball full of crap from the little dudes on the is board? I promise I won't crawl up your butts or be offended if you don't like tall, cranky, lean, old broads.

 

I can't tell you how many time I see men on those board say something totally rude/disparaging/nasty about women over forty, I've never once called anyone out on it. I'm old, you're short... so friggin what...we're not hooking up so is it absolutely necessary for either one of us to have to defend our preferences??

 

Nothing wrong with preferences but the way in which some people convey their preferences can prove to be inflammatory. Your post can certainly be considered inflammatory given the language you used and which is why I assume you got flack for it. There is also the idea that preferences are where you begin, but not where you stay. There is a difference between preferences and requirements. If you prefer men to be 6+, but meet a man who's 5'9 and fall for him, you had a preference. If you will only date men 6+ no matter the circumstances and don't wiggle on that stance at all, that's a requirement.

 

Aside from that, the reason I constantly post in these sorts of threads is because with the amount of insecure men and shallow women, you would think there is no hope for anyone that doesn't fit that requirement.

 

The belief is tall, muscular, and white. I'm 5'7, 145 lbs, hispanic. I'm also considerably successful. Not bragging, just giving hope to those who feel there is none. The last girl who wanted me was 5'10 before she put her heels on. When she had heels, it was even more comical. Luckily though, we didn't spend a lot of time standing. She was also irish and pale skinned, so there goes the whole minority can't get white women thing either.

 

I post in these threads to remind men that looks are not nearly as important as they believe they are. They should not let this bubble of shallow women and unsuccessful bitter men get in their heads and destroy what little confidence they already have.

[Carenth]

People have their preferences some will be attracted to you others won't deal with it. Seriously...

[SmileFace]

5'9 muscle. I don't like when guys are tall and skinny. I wouldn't mind a guy who is 5'9 and skinny either. However I rather guys to be more solid when that much taller than me. I am 5'8

[iris219]

i agree with you. but i also think it's ****ty to say flat chested is flat chested. to me, as a guy, IF i prefered bigger chested girls (which I don't, i like a nice B cup) i would still never say "i'd prefer the chubby girl with the nice tits b/c well an a-cup is an a-cup". is there nothing that sounds sh*tty about that to you? lol.

 

Guys say that about boobs all the time. Some men insist on a woman with huge knockers (ha ha...knockers...). Could it be left unsaid? Certainly. But it's their preference and it doesn't bother me.

[Stephanie]

Let's keep this thread on topic please and leave the insults for another time, if you cannot then accept the infraction without complaint.

 

Thanks

[SmileFace]

Granted I just reread the stats - you will have to be completely jacked at 5'9 and weigh 190 and not be fat or fluffy - however I have seen it done and I rather someone at that size. Plus someone can always drop a few pounds. However if it is basing off of attraction at the moment - I would choose the guy with more muscle.

 

My ex was 6'4 and a bean pole and I didn't like - not enough for it to make a difference in dating him. The first guy I dated was actually 190 and 5'9 and he was a little fluffy but wasn't fat and worked out - plus I like them solid so it worked. The guy I have been most attracted to is 6'3 and a muscle medium build - he may be around 190-195 I am not sure but it was just perfection. I am not sure of his weight so may be off.

 

However in this case I will take the muscle guy.

 

At the end of the day it would matter on his personality and face..lol

[Jono85]

mr. castle is spot on. it has nothing to do with preferences. we all have preferences.

 

i'm 5'8 btw and have never been really insecure about it. i do have other insecurities but this isn't really one of them. not a big one anyway, obv i wouldn't refuse being 5'10 or taller, etc.

 

 

but back to my main point. can one not see the difference between these 2 statements??

 

"i prefer the tall/skinny guy b/c i have a preference for taller men"

 

and

 

"i prefer the tall/skinny guy b/c the short guy is well short"

 

 

some of us grew up to treat ppl with respect. IMO there is nothing wrong with girls that are flat chested. most guys might not prefer them, but there's nothing wrong with them. so i would therefore never say to anyone "i'm not really digging her, afterall an A-cup is an A-cup". like it's some sort of defiency or something.

Guys also remember that although many women have height requirements that they will stick to. Many women who say they have a height requirement and thought that they just couldn't be attracted to someone under a certain height will many times meet a guy that causes them to throw their requirement out the window. Most likely the guy had the traits I mentioned in my first post in this thread.

[MrCastle]

How is "short is short" inflammatory?? Since you're a fan of logic you should appreciate the very X=X nature of my statement. Even Leibniz himself would have gotten on board with this one. The statement is only inflammatory if you personally have a problem with being short. I am old, I don't get bent when someone says "old is old". It's accurate and I don't give a flying **** lol!

 

Remember, folks, no one opinion on this board represents the final word on anything. I'm just another goofy old cow ...disregard my input if you don't like it.

 

Because it wasn't just "Short is short", you were also talking about how at least with skinny men, you could bulk up. So "short is short" in that context means there is nothing you can do to change it, with the assumption that it is some sort of flaw or something that people would change if they could. I have never had a desire to be taller than what I am. In fact, it wasn't even until I joined here and some other relationship forums that I found out height was even an issue. In my reality, it's not, and will continue to be that way.

[Badsingularity]

I don't see why I should be chastised by the "petite (since short is somehow a flame), young" men here.

 

lol

 

I don't consider myself short, but I think I would rather be referred to as short than petite.

 

Though this is just a newly discovered preference of mine I'm sure there are others who would prefer petite:laugh:

[PJKino]

Did you really need to ask this? Isnt there enough posts circle jerking tall men on here?

 

I dont need to be reminded that as a short dude i have to stand out and be perfect in every other way for some women to "tolerate" my shortness

[MrCastle]

Seriously, if you guys don't want to hear the truth about what we (women) think and feel about these things

 

Ahh, didn't know you spoke for all women. I should give that 5'10 woman a call and tell her you have spoken!
