KungFuJoe Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 The one benefit I will give tall guys is that they can look down women's blouses without being caught as easily. And we can reach things on the top shelf. 1
AngrySpider Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hmmmm,interesting.I'm 6'3" and I've had lousy luck with women so far.
Author Treasa Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Where did I say quality meant the same things to everyone? Quote me please. I merely asked if ThaWholigans brother and friend were getting good women. And I didnt zero in on physical characteristics at all. Wow, wtf does this have to do with the convo. No one is saying anyone is inferior. We are talking about sexual selection...and in the grand scheme of things, most women want average height or taller men. Thats a genetic preference. It doesnt mean short guys cant date. It means people like you shouldnt shrug off their personal experiences just because you, a sole woman, shares her own sexual preferences. Sure I dont like hearing them complain all the time, but you truly are baiting them into another situation to be down on themselves when you bring up a short CELEBRITY and then dismiss their personal experiences. No, what I'm saying is that opinion and belief don't make something fact. The mere fact that I brought up Peter Dinklage isn't because he's a celebrity, but because a lot of people have watched Game of Thrones and can understand why he has such appeal.
KungFuJoe Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I think what kaylan is saying is true. Two men...equal in everything, except height...more women will go for the taller guy. But you could say that about EVERYTHING. Wealth Penis size etc, etc. It's really a good thing that no two people are alike, because this type of situation is impossible. If a man is taller than you, then you just be better in some other way.
Author Treasa Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 And we can reach things on the top shelf. You have no idea how silly I look when I'm climbing shelves at the grocery store...
kaylan Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I never used to be. I do think its hard for them. I just think they bitch too much. I agree, but threads like this dont help. OP could have used a better real life example...instead of a rich and famous dwarf. Or she could have mentioned her many friends who date short men, or her short guy friends with girlfriends. Starting a thread saying how hot a rich guy is, only plays into the same cyclical crap we read on this forum.
serial muse Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Or she could have mentioned her many friends who date short men, or her short guy friends with girlfriends. Trust me, that doesn't help either. BTDT. 1

However, if two guys who are equal in every way are trying to get with me, and one is 5'8" and the other is 6'8", I'm picking the shorter guy.

Of course, you have to stay within a reasonable spectrum. A guy with a 5" dick vs a guy with a 13" dick...the VAST majority of women will pick the 5" guy... 1

Starting a thread saying how hot a rich guy is, only plays into the same cyclical crap we read on this forum. I have done threads like that. There are the same responses. I guess it goes to show that it's easier to close your mind and be bitter than to open it and try to be positive.

kaylan Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 EDIT: Dont care about thread any longer. Have fun yall 2
KungFuJoe Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I dare say the reasonable spectrum is also going to vary from person to person. It will...but it's more about "in general".
Author Treasa Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 It will...but it's more about "in general". Yeah, but my hope is that there's just ONE GUY reading this thread who will at least consider trying to just be happy and expand his area of women to ask out. I don't like seeing people unhappy. And it has nothing to do with being right. I can believe I'm right all day long. I only post these things to try to show others that the world doesn't have to be black and white. And that you CAN be happy regardless of what lady luck gave you. Trust me, having a bunch of angry men all over my ass isn't my idea of a good time. There's no other reason for me to be doing this than out of a desire to help. If I wanted to be a jerk I'd say, "Yeah, you're right, no one's ever going to want to date you." 1
ScreamingTrees Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 It is much more so for women. How many women in that condition can you name with a cute normal husband? It just doesn't happen. Actually, from the women I've seen, I find quite a few of them attractive in spite of this. I've found some of them to be downright HOT. But that is just me. I can find attractive qualities in most people if I bother to look. Now I may not be cute, or normal, but hey, they can take it or leave it. EDIT: My "area of women" is non-existant. LOL 1

TheGuard13 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I'm 6'4, and it's not any easier getting women interested if you're slightly taller than average. I've been told its intimidating. Everyone's different, but there's a height range that people want, fairly often depending on their own height.
AD1980 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Most women that have been in my social circle ive overheard say theyd never date a guy under 5'10 and these are short or average sized females.. Look at how many women on twitter have disdain for short men https://twitter.com/expsnghghtsm Nobody is saying short men cant get women there isnt enough tall guys to go around..all were saying is say 8 out of 10 women wont date short guys so the few percent who will thats just to get your foot in the door with the height issues then the a few percent of women who dotn care about height she still has to like your face physique personality etc It is much much harder for short men and can be a pain in the ass especially for sensitive people like me who hates beign rejected I cant change it..it is what it is but being of average height or tall opens doors up to a much bigger pool of women
StanMusial Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I knew a guy who was short that cleaned up with women. His face looked like Harry Hamlin at about 20-25 years old. They even used to call him Harry. I think he was about 5'7" or so. He was shorter than most guys I know. But he always had a ring of girls around him at the gym and at the club. I think height has less importance than facial structure. If you're short AND ugly you're more or less ****ed. 1
Revolver Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Im not short(6"1) but ill say this Being short for a man is kindoff like being fat for a woman. Can you get dates or be in relationships? Yes but are you at a disadvantage compared to your taller and thinner peers?Absolutely Will you generally have the same dating options? For the most part no and that's just the reality of the situation. To deny it would be disengenious

For the most part no and that's just the reality of the situation. To deny it would be disengenious My whole point wasn't that it was necessarily the same for tall men vs. short men to get a woman. My point is that regardless of how tall you are or what you look like, being happy and confident will get you a lot more than bitterness and complaining that "no woman" will ever want you.

I love people who say women arent shallow lol there every bit as shallow if not rthen men..

If I wanted to be a jerk I'd say, "Yeah, you're right, no one's ever going to want to date you." You're a good person. My advice (take it for what it's worth to you ha), I would recommend taking time off here and there. Maybe try to help, than three days mental health break. Basically, most of these bitter men are early 20s. (EDIT: not referring to kaylan, I actually really like him, just a general trend I've noticed from the bitter men) Have you ever tried to rationalize with a teenager? People basically either learn by experience or taking advice (wisdom). Most people pick the former. Usually more painful, but hey, their choice. I was like that myself, stubborn, till I got into 30s and found "hey maybe mom and dad do know something after all". Never resounded when I was a teen haha Also, you can end up wasting hours on here for little pay off. Some people seem to have literally unlimited time to argue on internet forums. I don't see how they are productive IRL, where application of these methods actually matters. At the end of the day, do what you think is right in your heart, but just have to let some things go. Help when you can, but don't let negative people drag you down by wasting your time. Just my two cents. Feel free to do what you think is right, but I agree you're a high quality person and a lot of people would like your advice that actually have intention to apply it. Basically I have found there are four types of people in our lives. Those that add, those that subtract, those that multiply, and those that divide. People that are bent on subtracting and dividing, tend to weigh down those that have a vision for their life. Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered, or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared. 2
