I'm within her acceptable height range, but I wouldn't date her, and it ain't because of the color of her skin, that's for sure.

[Archgirl]

Umm.. Not saying you're lying, but, what else could you be? If you've got a non-euro genetic component, I don't really see it, to be honest with you. I don't think it shows in any of your photos. Do you? I'd like to think I'm a good judge.

 

Thats actually pretty cool to hear. I usually get it picked.

Are you Australian?

[Radu]

That's the trick, isn't it? Letting your hands take over and trusting it. When it flows it is pretty amazing.

 

Wish more things in life were that way.

 

They are.

It boils down to trusting yourself.

[Radu]

ok, well, the pic is in the album. Just to prove I'm not BSing

 

That's a very nice one.

 

Can tell she's a dancer

 

Really, how ?

[Radu]

I'm just trying to get closet to the ideal standard of beauty as possible so that I can have more success in dating. I have to be able to compete with all of these lightskin/mixed/white/asian girls out here. Lightskin is a prerequisite for a lot of men

 

Not really.

I'm a white guy, in Eastern-Europe.

We don't have black ppl here outside of students coming from Africa.

 

I have an attraction for darker skinned women, and those women are usually with some Turkish ancestry or Roma ancestry.

Olive skin [darker as well] literally makes me melt.

I will gladly date a girl who's a pale redhead if she passes my high standards [they are not physical], but i do have this attraction.

 

And the students i mentioned above who come from Africa ?

They stay for 3-4yrs, men or women they have no problem getting dates.

And these are not the US version of black [which is shades of brown from some white blood many generations ago], they are completely black. I do find those women attractive.

 

There are other guys just like me, who have a thing for dark skin.

There may be some guys who only find a certain skin tone attractive.

Or there may be guys who don't care that much about skin tone.

 

PS: I find Michelle Obama hot.

[Els]

Ohhh, the horror, OP. Maybe you should hook up with guys who also had to 'settle' for a redhead, or for an A-cup, or for a non-hourglass shape woman? Misery loves company, and you guys could throw pity parties for each other!

[ScreamingTrees]

Are you Australian?

 

Nope. Not an Aussie.

[Woggle]

I say it like I have said it before men are not nearly as shallow as the OP thinks. Believe I have known a number of men who left attractive women because they couldn't stand her personality.

[TaraMaiden]

I don't get this - I'm 4'11"..... my tallest partner was 6'5"..... my shortest partner was 5'3".....

 

From any POV the tallest was the most awkward.

If you've never danced cheek-to-belly-button, you'll never understand why....) and sex was just tedious.... Missionary involved me looking at nothing but chest hair, and doggie just flung me across the bed.... not good.

 

Gimme a guy nearer my height, any time.

[salparadise]

imo it's more of a primal urge on the part of the female to be dominated.

 

It's a primal urge on the part of the female to use that irresistible nookie to get exactly what she wants...

 

six foot two inches tall, dark complected white guy, perfect teeth, full head of dark hair, big shoulders, bedroom eyes, square jaw, six pack, nobel prize winner, 750+ credit score, perfect diction, immense vocabulary, fourteen bedroom house with pool, french maids, media coverage, porsche-lamborghini-maserati, big package, mayor of medium size city, never told a lie, never cheated, loves cats, no children or ex's, private jet...

 

and just happens to be attracted to her and her alone - would never even think about looking at any other woman. They all deserve this and I feel so sorry for any poor girl who has to settle for a guy who just doesn't cut the mustard.

[Eternal Sunshine]

Height is of not much importance to me. I have liked men from 5'7" and above. It's usually an advantage but not always. Chemistry is sometimes there with short men

[soccerrprp]

I sometimes wonder whether it's so much primal than it is cultural. Depending upon the culture one comes from, you find that different women have varying degrees of emphasis on a man's height. White and African-American women, in my experience are most interested in taller men. But of course, there are those who feel "safer" with someone taller.

 

I have a few women with preferences that seem extreme willing to date shorter guys. As long as they are not shorter than themselves, their height preference is just that, a preference. I always find it humorous when a woman wants someone 10+ inches taller then themselves.

 

The other thing I can't help thinking is that it's also a trophy, ego thing. I got the much taller guy, look at me sort of thing. Nevermind, he's just as capable of being the jerk that I never wanted, but he's tall...

 

In my experience in OLD, it is uncommon to see profiles of women who want someone at or very near to their height as a preference. When you do, these ladies tend to be more realistic, honest about height, I think.

I hear guys online say they have a preference for very dark women but IRL, when I see couples, the woman is usually of a lighter complexion.

 

Not saying that really dark women don't get men, it's just the type of men they date, are not the cream of the crop. I want to attract a man who has a decent profession, not some ex con, or really old geezer.

Or short, heaven forbid.

[manup]

I can never get what I'm looking for. The men I'm usually the most attracted to are 5'9 and over. However, it seems that the guys the most interested are usually short, 5'5-5'6 and I have zero attraction to short men at all. I dated a short guy for years and really resented the fact that he was not what I wanted. I used to wish he was taller all the time. The relationship was strained and we eventually went separate ways

 

It seems that no matter how ugly the guy is, if he's really tall, he seems to think he's quite the catch and plays a lot of games. I can barely get an ugly 6'0 tall guy to date or committ to me because even they are in high demand. They seem to really realize their value to women despite being facially challaneged. I'm at the point where I am very frustrated and bitter right now. It appears I may have to settle for a guy who is short but that is just not what I want. I dont like short men at all but I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life

It just sounds like you're reaching out of your league.

[soccerrprp]

I know tall guys who have height limits themselves. Too short and they are not interested.

 

How tall are you? Perhaps TOO short for many of the taller guys you desire?

 

I must say that everyone is entitled to their preferences, but your initial post seemed to have a scent of disdain for shorter guys and place them less worthy of a healthy relationship as you would like. I sure you don't think this way, but it did come across as such for me.

 

It also disturbed me that you had a lengthy relationship with a shorter guy and all along stewed internally about it. That also says something about you as a person.

 

Anyway, short guy signing off... No hard feelings, I'm confident about my height, characteristics, and don't let people like you keep me from finding someone good, considerate.

And I know why you can not get the man you want. It sounds like you have no self confidence in yourself, and you might be too judgmental. And by the way, my sister is a dark skinned woman and I have never seen her have problems attracting good looking and professional men regardless of their race.

Would have loved to see that.

Aww dont settle i know tall men are most womens dream please dont give it up i know i found one after years of dating short men and coming up empty and disappointed

 

Just try to increase your social network and ask your friends if they know any single tall men

[ls32ssibm]

Did the OP ever mention how tall she was? She's in denial about how relevant it is.

 

 

If she's 4'11, men who are 6'4 are going to opt for the taller, leggier girls for obvious reasons. The only exception would be if she was completely gorgeous with perfect proportions.

Hey, we found another shallow one. Good to know.

[Barnacle-Bob]

I'm still trying to figure out why there aren't more 5'5"+ white guys playing basketball on the courts near where missjones lives.

 

Of all of the bonkers crap she has said so far, that was the biggest head-scratcher.

[Lonely Ronin]

Get over your damn height man, the sooner you do, the better off you will be.

[ThaWholigan]

The stupidest thing about this thread is the short guys so willing to take the bait. Just take it in your stride, it's all you can do.
