| A question of height ... Posted: 1/23/2006 1:02:50 PM | [\For many women, a taller man projects safety, being taken care of, making you feel perhaps more feminine. For me, as I am a BBW and 5'8, I prefer a taller man. But, was married to someone 5'6 and it all equalled out eventually anyway\]
when I read stuff like this, it almost sounds as though the macho man gets glorified by the women who are always complaining about dogs and bad men. Contradictory isnt it? | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 2/6/2006 3:05:53 AM | | i do prefer tall men but if i met a really good bloke who was shorter than i'd like it wouldn't stop me taking it further. some things are more important. the heels thing can be a problem though. some girls like to wear heels goin out but my problem is that if i go out lookin taller than my man i worry he'll feel less powerful if thats the right word. most men like to feel like they should protect and look after their girlfriends so i think that by makin myself taller than them i'm taking that away from them. did any of that make sense? think i rambled. sorry.x | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 2/6/2006 6:24:47 AM | This thread about height is great fun. Lots of very entertaining posts!
My story is that I am 5' 7" if I stretch. Most women today, even the little shorties, strongly prefer the big guys, who are 6' or more. That can leave us diminutive men in the lurch. I have gone for several years at a time without a date, while my taller friends would have girls climbing all over them. That drove me nuts.
The obvious solution? High heels. Now that I have fashionable boots with 4" stiletto heels, I can get dates. Hell, the women even ask me to dance, and to go out on dates with them.
The short guy in high heels thing makes for some funny jokes, but now I am laughing all the way to the bedroom. Women stop me on the street, to say they love my boots. I am tall now, even if it is fake tall.
I would date women of any height. Six feet? Why not? In my boots with 4" heels, I am tall enough. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 2/6/2006 6:39:34 AM | | I think with me its become a psychological thing. I had always been with guys 5'9 and shorter, but since my separation I had to deal with a lot of harassment from my ex. It got to be very scary for me for awhile, even threatening a restraining order. Since then I just seem to be drawn to tall men, maybe to me it represents a form of protection, somebody to keep me safe, I don't know exactly, but I do have a tendency to go for tall men now... | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 2/6/2006 6:47:47 AM | | I personally prefer smaller women but height is not a deal breaker even though I'd have a hard time imagining myself with a 6'+ tall lady... | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/4/2006 8:15:18 PM | | .height isnt everything and it certainly doesnt guarantee security. i mean seriously, have you seen what happends when a tall guy, thats 6"+ boxes a guy whos, 5'4-5'8'? their body is a sitting duck basically. yeah, they're face might not get messed up, but those blows to the body does take their toll and the person is done for. its just like chopping down a cherry tree. keep that in mind next time you say a "tall person" can protect you. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/4/2006 10:18:33 PM | Lorry,

That is over a foot taller than me, even in my tallest heels!
What was he, a flagpole painter? | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/4/2006 10:20:47 PM | | Being so tall myself, nearly 5'11 .. I do the man to be taller, but it's not something I ever actively went looking for. My ex of 4 years is 5'7, and it never bothered me, and my most recent ex b/f was 6'4 .. which was actually really nice, lol. It is a feeling of security, that whole being protected thing. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/5/2006 10:19:25 AM | Jumpy's profile shows him to be 6' 1", which is more or less tall.
Why does he think this thread is so brutal?
Heightist rejectionism slams down hardest on the manikins. Why is it that no one seems to say that shorter women are undesirable? Only the shorter men are turned away, based solely on stature.
That is why I supplement my natural altitude with high heeled boots. It gives me the self-delusion of superiority. Where can I get 6" heels, so I can be SIX FEET TALL? | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/5/2006 12:18:28 PM | magick,
Just saying I am shocked at how many women are actually honestly admitting they prefer tall. It is in fact true, and there have been studies to back it up. No one really understands why women prefer it. Just amazed that they are so openly admitting it :)
That being said, I know plenty of short men with drop dead gorgeous wives.
PS: I am a lot shorter until my 20s. I was a late bloomer, so I do not think of myself as tall. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/5/2006 12:43:05 PM | | I really don't think it matter, but sinces I'm almost 2 meters (around 6'5 or 6'6) I guess its not a problem. My cousin is as tall as me and his fiancee is 4'11. Its all about people, people. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/5/2006 12:55:39 PM | | When it comes to height, I really don’t have a problem with it. I have always dated women that were taller than myself, the tallest that I have ever dated was 6 ft, and the shortest was about 5’10. But height for myself is not an issue, as long as there is that connection, and the spark nothing else should really matter. | |

| A question of height ... Posted: 3/5/2006 12:58:45 PM | Le Roi ,
you are shorter than I ,,and I thought I sucked , you get the prize , women are so freaken shallow and flam all the guys that do not prefer fatter women and even call them shallow for not prefering a medically less desireable physical condition and over analize any tiney subliminal comment .
Short guys here just stay quiet while some wone happily express how inferior it is to be a short guy even if he is taller than the women , they seem to think that a certain height of a standard specification makes a man but flame a man really bad when guys prefer certain mesurements and do not care about height, a women with a hanging gut says she is beautiful while a alot of guys know that that does not look good and can be changed .
I have to live with my height .
Le Roi , I recomend you to checkout women in Latin american countries , I work in charity groups located down there and I see alot of tall women with short guiys , the women down there really value a guy on the inside and his smile , women in northern north america are just shallow , hense the marital problems that exist .
I wish women from these anglo countries were not so shallow , I see alot less quality inside them trhan the women I have seen in more humble countries and no matter what career I have seen them in those less wealthy countries , they shine alot more inside .
Their is hope Le ROI but look for wmen here in your culture no more , I was married to a vewry very beautiful woman that thought I was a greater man far more than any guy , guys were jealous of me up here becuse my girl was what guys really dreamed about , she was not subserviant dummy , she had 3 professional degrees but was also a dreamgirl inside emotionwise .
she died 3 years ago , I do not want to deal with the hassel of imigration anymore , I am now checking women out in prison , they do not care about anything like height age and looks , they just want a really nice guy now and give up on the bull they used to create like the women here , I know a few .
Most women here think they are all that and beleive they deserve more than they should , they will get theres one day , they get what they choose , alot choose wrong , claiming to only care what is on inside , so much bull hieght , money , looks and the kind of stuff and jobs they have weigh to most women here on this site nad in real life in anglo america . | |
