Have you ever thought of this? that guys with dating problems usually have a reason why theyre not dating?
when you refer to women as "chicks" or "old chicks" it makes me wonder what you say to women when you want to dance with them?
Its always the guys who blame the world for there dating problems and insecurites, one minute your telling us you are this badboy stud and the next minute your complaining about no dates?
I have male friends 5'7" and they have no problems meeting quality ladies, maybe its your attitude Ace. | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 8:25:07 PM | | Of the alluring physical characteristics of the opposite sex, height is right up at the top for me. I was with a man who was just slightly taller than me for a long time and it was problematic...my grandma calls it, "Napoleon Syndrome". But, even before that relationship, I've always tended toward taller guys...Now, 5'10 and up, please. I have no intention of missing out on wearing heels, standing small in his frame/stature, wrapping my arms around his neck and reaching up for that kiss, etc.! | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 8:41:20 PM | sddude...I feel for you guys. I'm just under 6 ft, but I knew someone who had issues with his height all his life. Guys picked on him in high school, etc. I never knew the full extent of it, but I'll bet it was one of those things in life that kicks you every morning when you get out of bed, if you let it. He committed suicide about five years ago; it wasn't the only issue, but it didn't help.
We're all short in something. Some people have really bad acne, others struggle with weight, still others aren't very bright...I hope we'll all learn to be a little more gentle with others someday. | |

Posted: 10/25/2005 10:20:34 PM | | my vote is 6'2" on up, I am just not attracted tot he body shape of shorter guys. it's been a consistent pattern for me. I have dated a couple guys under that and the attraction just wasn't there. I found myself doing that when i was just out of my divorce... it guaranteed that I'd never get too drastically hurt because I didn't have the depth of feeling combined with lust. I like leaner body shapes too. Double chins are a huge turn off. I can't get past that either. :) | |

Yup , I got beat up everyday after school since I was in fisrt grade , I even remeber my first pounding , two little boys , one a blondie the other a mexican , pounded away until I cried , yup the memories , jajajajaj like barabara straisand's song . memories hehehe
in third grad a big girl that people called baboomba because she was hot to all thge little boys , hahahah , well she pounded my face into the playground cement , I have a front tooth that is chipped because of that , was in live with her little sister ....
yup all the way till highschool (fresno ca )I was beat up after school it was a tradition for the gangs to beat up nerds and short people .youre right Ace , yup a fact sometimes .
Girls really do not think those guys are cool at all , no one wanted me for the prom so I took my cousin , she was hot enough to impress untill the guys found out then guys hit on her and I ended up going home early ,
nawww no relevence , did not affect me at all . | |

AAAAHHHHH okayyyyyy, (tip toeing on eggshells )
hmmmmm , well sorry if I refer to woman as chicks, sorry , I sould try harder to be more formal in my etiquette of writing style , no offense intended towards anyone , I am just used to expressing myself that way , in your part of the world it may be offensive , maybe dude , guy , or bro is offensive to you if men are referred as that , I live in san diego , I am a surfer spend alot of time on the beach , well not lately too cold at the moment , people, men and women refer to women as chicks, babes , hotties etc... in normal conversations , sorry if I offended you in this manner or someone else, our subcultures are different , maybe you were brought up in speaking more formally , the same as.... well forget that , I am on eggshells here , hahahaha.
I am not really blaming women , never said it was their fault , have I ? I am trying to explain that I found that women have their natural preferences , have you not read some of the height responses from women in old posts , this hieght post has been beaten to death many times. I also state and not erroneously on what has happened to me in dating , I am not the only one, it is not placing women in an evil light it is informing on the realities oof what has happend to me and many guys , oh sorry , men .
Women have their natural preferences according to culture , you probably do not beleive waht happens to guys in real life , you just work and point out ever guys specific faults without any real resolution , I like people with real solutions to questions , everyone likes and honors those , why just live here to bash people , sometimes you applaude but the longest inputs that are most passionate are in anger .
Yes I complain , I complain that I cannot be just me , the man that my friends think of as great person , I hate to be the a*** but my friends think I am sexy when I am like that , I hate to be the a*** but it works in every social gathering , being me gets me alot of female friends , most of my freinds are female and I have alot , I just would like that someone would be attracted to the real me without using the a*** "guy" (yes I said it ) as the hook , you do not understand where alot of guys are comming from .
I am a very very confident person , I have given presentations for embassaders to hundreds of people , confidence is not my problem , I am usually the first one to go out dancing at the dancefloor with someone who had the grace to accept my offer or alone . for some reason this phenomenon exist but many do not accept it as true . Not only with women that are perceived as beautiful all others apply also .
Still I and others get the dirty end of the stick while beautiful women like you enjoy dating life and many interested gentlemen . You cannot ever fathom to see it in our eyes , I remeber girls like you in school .... but I have no negativity towards them I am a runt and must make myself "bigger" or different to attract what I can get and I do get it but it is a change I hate , I hate to kill off my old self . You do not know , you are one of the beautiful people that have it made in this department , you just have to choose the "good" ones and ignore the runts .
5ft 7 in my book is not short for me but borderline for most women , data is from this site and many women I know , maybe it is the region where your friend lives .
I had to edit some comments to prevent breaking more eggshells .... | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 2:06:47 PM | Short guys can hold thier own. But i have a problem with men staring at my boobs even when they are taller than me. Put me in heels with a man who is SHORTER than me, and he is BOOB HEIGHT. There is no eye contact for the entire evening.
Best guy I ever slept with was 5'6" though. Maybe overcompensating for height is a GOOD thing hmmmmm. | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 2:16:28 PM | Im a short guy also and I find a lot of women prefer taller guys, chic thing I guess, lol
Myself I have dated 2 women taller than me, one was 6" and it didnt bother me that much, dancing was kinda weird close up and it did make me self conscience to a point.
Thing is it is the person inside, not physical attributes that really matter but we are all human I suppose, personally I like blondes, lol | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 2:22:05 PM | "Also I saw something that said the definition of a dwarf is "less than 5 feet tall," and that was m or f. I find that hard to believe, especially for women."
Damn it...4'11 3/4"....1/4 inch and I could have been normal! GRRRRR!  | |

Posted: 10/26/2005 2:28:20 PM | | I totally agree with you. To me it doesn't matter what size you are but to me the size of your heart that matters. If a girl was much taller then me, I would just go with the flow. Im not one to judge, im another person that likes to spend time with others. | |

Posted: 10/27/2005 8:30:19 AM | | For me it doesn't really matter. If she's taller then me...then bonus(I like climbing) ha ha. I also like short girls. There are alot of short girls that out there that put tall girl to shame. So no it shouldn't matter...as long as you can deal with it. Boo hoo to the guys out there that are intimidated by tall girls (DEAL WITH IT). | |

Posted: 11/16/2005 7:59:45 PM | | Well, I'm in a wheelchair and only 5'4 or so to begin with. So yeah, a girl who was short enough to kiss without her having to get on her knees might be nice for a change. Not that I have a problem when a girl gets on her.... wait , that sounds dirty. Best I shut up. Haha. But women around 5 feet tall or shorter sound just about ideal for me. Anyone got a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory? I need to find some oompa loompas. | |

Posted: 11/16/2005 8:18:56 PM | | My last relationship was with a guy about 2 inches shorter than me. Initially he seemed ok with it and it didn't bother me, but his friends teased him about it constantly. Eventually it became a major issue. So, it isn't always the taller woman that can't handle it. | |

Posted: 11/16/2005 11:47:18 PM | some people are saying that height isnt an issue, then add they prefer someone their height or taller....ummm so isnt that an issue or is it just the way I'm reading it??
but yes height is an issue for me...im just under 6foot and prefer my man to be taller than that...as i said in another thread on the same topic...the taller the better
everyone has their preference and we all know what we do and dont want in a potential partner | |

Posted: 11/17/2005 1:31:52 AM | I had a friend in college that was 6"4". He was always wanting to hang around with me and I hated it. He had a really cool name, but that was the only thing cool about him. Wait, the other cool thing about him is he was the smartest guy in medical school.
Concerning the thread, my ex-wife was three inches taller than me. Most of the time, it was ok, but I hated it when she wore heels. Since our divorce she found a guy that is about four inches taller than me. She married him and she seems happy( he might be taller than me, but he is half the man I am LOL)
I try hard not to date women taller than me, but it has happened and I would NEVER married a woman taller than me. I like women up to 5'7", but no taller. | |
