Posted: 3/5/2006 1:06:31 PM | Am the smallest of my pack. my 2 brothers are 6'6" and 6'2", father was 6'7..and am a small 5'10" for 185lbs (mother was 5"7). aaaah! genetics.
Height doesn't matter much. True it will be ackward if I meet a 6'6" woman (guess the jokes: what do you do in life? > what ever she tell me to.")
it's just like weight. If your athletic, you want someone who take care of herself and so on.
it's all about balance. | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 2:31:55 PM | I have dated from 5'6 to 6'7
Married the short one....
It is odd how the short guys never notice when women ARE dating short, just when women say they prefer tall | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 7:29:42 PM | But the truth is....some women DO date short men...and we also MARRY them. Quit with the blanket statements about how shallow all women are.....
Women here love to show off and boast how tall a guy is
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
women are shallow, it is inevitable...
You'd be a lot taller without that big chip on your shoulder. | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 8:00:32 PM | girl , most of my friends are women , it is not a blanket statement , I know their friends and the friends friends , mostly women , guess what all the same ... attracted to taller guys , only tall guys seem to get the action , the shorter guys get mocked in secret , I hear that in their little group talks , I am always let in their groups like I am a chick with a penis , all the same ,
Just because it does not apply to you does not mean what we say is abnormal and not valid , just walk down the street and see couples , do not tell me that women have short guys 50/50 .
You will never see it at a guys view you are not in the recieving end , though you are older and know more .
I am with 6 female friends right now , they are talking about guys and some comments are wow he is tall and hot , some short guys are mentioned , he is cute ... too bad he is short .
Yeah , that never happens it is very rare , maybe in your world . I have lived with it all my life , I still get told I am too short for them and in my face , do not tell me this happens .
Yes it may be a chip on my shoulder , no one hears about it unless it is part of the subject that i am involved with , these forums do not count it is for telling opinions and how someone feels about the subject and giving advice , not really for saying the subject at hand does not exista nd is not revelent . | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 8:11:22 PM | Statistically, men are taller than women. Therefore, in any random sampling of the couples population, there are going to be more taller men-short women pairings than the other way around.
sigh
enough already
And your 6 female friends would not constitute a statistically significant sampling of female opinion. | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 9:54:29 PM | | I'm 5'2" and I've dated men my height up to 6'5". Height doesn't make a difference at all...men of all heights can be a good catch. Besides being short myself, I don't think I'm in a position to judge based on height...lol | |

Posted: 3/5/2006 10:15:50 PM | | Im 5'5" ( one doc said 5'4" 1/2 .. i fired him right away) and my ex wife is 2 inches taller than me. bothered me i suppose at first but I was with her for 19yrs so I obviously got over it. But now im single again, I find I only want to date shorter woman than me and coincidently.. only shorter woman.. want to date me too. I dont even look at a profile of a woman over my height because they usually dont want to talk to a guy my height. I realize that. most guys my height do. I always thought my ex was kind of rare in that aspect ( liking a shorter guy ) . | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 8:20:25 AM | the sampling of 6 female friends were that a sampling of that moment , 28 years of my life I have been hearing it , maybe thousands , my first was in first grade , I kissed a little girl on the cheek , she told me " go away you little midget " her little friends laughed , started from their and repeated over and over until present day , now it has more serious tones of course .
women still pretend to know what a guy goes through and trivializes it and pretend it does not happen . | |

Posted: 3/6/2006 1:59:05 PM | Here is an article I found, with purported advice for shorter guys:
How to Attract Girls Even if You're Short
by John Alexander
Let me mention a few names and you can tell me what they all have in common:
Al Pacino
Humphrey Bogart
Napoleon
Okay, no surprise here... they're all short guys. But you know what? They were all awesome with the ladies (and not just because of their celebrity status... they were all players before they became famous.)
In fact, the reason they could attract girls was because of their strong inner attitude.
There are a couple things you can do in the short term. Wearing boots right now will subtly add 2 or 3 inches to your height.
Also, when you dress, wear vertical stripes and tight clothes. That will make you look SLENDER, which will make you appear taller.
Long term, one way short guys can be more dominant physically is to work out. In fact that really should be first and foremost. If you've got muscles, it helps A LOT, not only with your physical appearance, but also with your confidence levels, strong inner attitude, and poise. So get in the gym.
When you're muscular and you're a short guy, you become like a pit bull. And by the way, I'd like you to experiment with that.. do not always be the nice guy who's polite. For the next few months, try to let your "inner badass" come out a bit when you're with girls.
Do the affirmation, "I'm becoming like the pitbull who can dominate the bigger dogs."
Once you start feeling more and more confident in a few weeks, change your affirmation to, "I AM like the pitbull who can dominate bigger dogs."
I've noticed that a lot of short guys develop a VERY strong presence by having cultivated that inner badass.
Now, I'm not saying you should become a jerk... but just try to balance out that inner nice guy.
Next thing to do long term is to GIVE UP any approval-seeking. Who cares what women think of you? Go through life doing what you want and being who you are. (That is so key by the way... those guys I list above were players exactly because they went through life doing what they wanted and being true to who they were.)
You see, short guys who are badasses really have a bit of an advantage. Because of their stature, they automatically are able to have more rapport with chicks (who tend to be short themselves) than the guys who are beanpoles. And when you add to that a bit of a "badboy" element, it makes chicks dripping wet with attraction.
The bottom line is this: only if YOU feel uncomfortable with your height will it affect you with the girls. If you feel completely comfortable with your height, then they will too.
By the way, when it comes to tall guys, what women find attractive about them isn't their height. It's their dominance. If you have a tight sense of inner confidence, and project a personality that sucks them in, height will be the furthest thing from their minds.
So to sum up, be true to yourself, take risks in life, cultivate your inner badass, and stop caring about anyone's approval. And hit the gym ASAP. And do the fashion things I said.
Then you'll attract girls without worrying about irrelevant things like height. | |

Posted: 3/11/2006 7:04:28 PM | Yawn...I can't believe this thread is still alive. If this is an issue for anyone then they have
bigger problems than who to date. (Who cares what people like that think anyway?) | |

Posted: 4/14/2006 7:15:26 AM | | To sddude & cw5 just some helpful hints about your pics;Just keep ones on your profile that show you smiling, happy approachable. Don't have pics that give the impression that you are too serious or angry. Just remember a pic says a thousand words and the ladies want to go out on a pleasant date...............About this thread; Yes there is a overwhelming prejudice against short guys. Just look at the pop culture stereotypes:woody allen,george castanza,and a few others. All portrayed as insecure nerotic loosers; heck, I wouldn't even want to befriend them. These negative stereotypes keep women from even considering that a short man can be confident & sexy. Also it brainwashes (social conditions) a women to think of themselves as loosers for going out with a short man. | |

Posted: 4/14/2006 7:24:53 AM | | Yet again..it all boils down to personal preference, and what you're attracted to. I'm 5'10, and I prefer taller men. I've dated men that were slightly shorter, but I'm more attracted to those that are taller. It's not shallow, it's not anything against anyone. Everyone has a certain preference, and there's nothing wrong with that...some people aren't attracted to those that are heavy, some aren't attracted to slender, some aren't attracted to those that are taller, and some aren't attracted to those that are shorter. It's a fact of life, and it's why we're all individuals. | |

Posted: 4/14/2006 7:36:58 AM | A picture is just that, a picture. It can't tell you if a person is happy or sad. Ever heard of "smiling" for the camera? Faking it? People assume too much based upon a picture or profile. Give me a break... | |
