Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 6/16/2006 11:06:52 AM
well I can uderstand..myself I like only tall ladies. I'm 6'5" in my cowboy boots and would like a girl to be minimum minimum 5'10". short girls just seem like little girls and I feel like a pedohile when I'm with them..too freaky for me. To me ladies should also be slim and in shape, with nice assets..hmm hmm..the BBW just doesn't do it for me..any women over 125 is just too fat for me. Thats just my preference..and I'm sticking by it.

I say it's just personal preference. I want to look a man in the eye and have him do the same....somehow standing eye to breast just isn't that appealing to me. Not only that but I would be self conscious of my own height if I were significantly taller than the man. Besides, sometimes even a girl that's 5' 9" needs a man to reach things on the top shelf!

Oh, Sir Charles....I hate to be the one to tell you but a girl that's 5' 10" and 125 should probably see a Dr. about that eating disorder......take it from a woman who is 5' 9" and 135#!!

I don't date shorter men just for the simple fact I am big busted. I would much rather look into a man's eyes then look at his forehead while he is staring at my tatas...

KK, no offence, but you are a bit on the older side..and 135 is expected. My last girlfriend was 19 yrs old , blond, sexy as hell ( she did some modeling work ). She was 5'9" and she was 118 pounds. She was not in any way anorexic, she had a super hot body..only problem her breasts were on the teeny weeny side..unfortuneately..I don't think 125 for a women 5'10 is way too skinny..its perfect. OK, lets give it 130...5 pounds, so what.

To each his own.....me being on the "older" side.....let's see....I'm a good six years older than you so I guess that makes me a "granny"......
You're right....My OLD a*s is five pounds heavier than I was at 21!! OMG....what a future you have to look forward to.
And for a man with all of these "hotties" lined up you'd think we'd see a picture of YOU around somewhere.........??

no offence KK, I never called you a granny. Really your only 6 years older than me. However, I'm used to younger girls. maybe 3-4 yrs younger. Its just my preference, as I would like to have a few kiddies running around, hopefully. My father is 5 yrs older than my mom. Most couples I know, the Man is older..guess its what I'm accostomed to.

Hotties lined up?..me? no way..I wish. I know many girls...but not many of them I would consider Hotties..maybe 2 or 3...ok 4, Jamie just got a nice boob job..Nice !!

I don't like to judge on height....but me being 5'1...I like shorter guys as well....there's nothing worse than dancing with someone tall and you can't even snuggle into there neck if you want to be close to them...and not only that but it's hard on the neck dating someone so tall when I'm so short(always looking up)...lol...mind you we can't help who we fall for...but I would prefer shorter if I actually had a choice in the matter

It all comes down to personal preference, we all have things we like and don't like in a potential partner. Some people adhere to their prefernces more strict than others. Some have firm ruls of no one under a certain height.......

While I can surely understand preferences it is frustrating for me as a man of only 5'7. Its frustrating to be contunually overlooked solely on that basis. I know i am not the most attractive man in the world..... but I do know that I am a very good man, a very good father, I have a huge heart, a wonderful wit and I know how to treat people well......It's frustrating to continually see woman post about there not being good men out there when they continually overlook a good segment of the dating pool.

I think this strict adherence to preferences is very much a function of online dating sites. In these sites you are encouraged to creat a menu of physical and other attributes that you want your potential partner to have. Due to sheer volume most women are forced to find a reason not to talk to you so the absence of one of these physical characteristics is ofetn a key factor for dismisal.

In the real world I don't think this is quite as common. When meeting people in the "real world" you are apt to notice personality and other characteristics beyond the physical.

I am not a bitter "height impaired" man. At one point in my life I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful woman of 5'10 that I was with for a long time. She was able to see me for the man that I am rather than my height......I am secure enough in my own self that being with her, even with her in heels, that it didn't matter that she was taller than me....as a matter of fact it often made me smile and laugh to myself when i would catch our reflection when walking together.

Like I always say when it comes to any attibute people are looking for...especially a physical attibute...... I have always been more attracted to the person than any physical attribute that person may or may not have......

I have no problem with shorter guys, whats most important is what is inside a person and who they are, not how tall they are. My ex was 6'4 and he is half the man in all ways other than height of the shorter guy I dated after he and I split up.

I could not agree more!!! ^5

If they don't like me for any attribute I have or don't have, it really is their loss. I think I am a good man....

earth I agree 100% plus the fact that shorter men live longer [something to do with how hard the heart has to work]

I think I might be rather odd as I am a very tall woman (6'!) but I'm willing to date guys of pretty much any height. I've dated guys a few inches taller than me and I've dated really short guys before (one was 5'3"). I've accepted that I'm taller than most people, so I've stopped being hung up about being taller than the guy I'm dating. It allows me to focus on the more important aspects of the guy, like his sense of humor.

Ok an honest question for the ladies who don't like us short guys. What if they don't care if you are taller? I care so little about a woman being taller than me. I guess I am secure in who I am. But really here is the question and I want an honest answer. Is it you couldn't be attracted to a short guy or are you concerned about how others will view you when you introduce them to your significant other and he is shorter? Or worrying about being seen at a mall and "what will people think?" Just imagine a world where it is impossible for people to judge. It only matters what YOU think. Is it you or is it worrying about others seeing you as a "different couple"? What if he didn't care if you wore heels and towered him further...for the ones who say they met guys who wouldn't let them wear heels? What if a short guy knocked your socks off over time because you saw him every day in a certain scenario? Would you be able to accept him despite his height?

Disclaimer: I am ok with my height 100% so be honest.

Disclaimer #2: Alright...99% be honest anyhow.

Ok lotslove68...honest answer here.. I like guys who are taller than me because they make me feel more secure. Yes, sounds lame but anyway... The secure feeling I'm talking about is when he puts his arm around me I have the feeling that everything is safe in my world. I don't know how to explain it. I like 'em tall and built like a brick house.
My feeling this way has nothing to do with the outside world...just my personal preference. And yes, I have dated guys who were on the shorter side... cheers!

Well, I think the ladies on here are being kind of idiotic. We're not talking about guys whose eye level is at your supposed breasts. We're talking about guys who are not more than 4" taller than you that you still consider short.

Short guys are invisible to women...that is it, nothing else to discuss...end of story...we have to deal with it. You would have an attitude problem too if you were ostracized by the opposite sex your whole life. But of course blame the victim. It's the survival of superficiality, not the fittest.
