Posted: 6/16/2006 7:30:36 PM | come to think of it, I have never dated any women shorter than me.
It could be a concept I would like to try! | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 8:52:57 PM | Cdn grl.......... what does height have to do with security.....a guy built well is built well no matter his height....what you are feeling is the strength of the man when he wraps his arms around you....its the same no matter the height.... Quite frankly for the most part many shorter men are stronger than their taller counterparts....... SO it is lame to blame it on security.... I may be short, but I have broad shoulders, a big chest and strong arms.....more so than the average tall guy that usually borders on slim to skinny.......
It really doesn't matter....we all have preferences in what we want in a date....in this case it is height....could just as easily be hair color, eye color etc......In this case the height issue is very pervasive and I think a lot of potentially very good relationships never have a chance to develop due to this height bias.......
It is laughable that I am somehow less of a mn cause I am only 5'7.......
your loss | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 10:49:47 PM | The more I read threads like these the less I respect the fairer sex. I mean are you looking for a date or are you hoping to just skip to the I do's?
"..taller equals more money...I need to feel secure...give me a REAL man...I don't want to think about it...give me a cowboy...give me shaved head and goatee guy...give me some other marketing-think-tank-hired-by-Cosmo "type" that I can co-ordinate my outifts with...package it all up nice and neat for lil old me and throw in a Firefighter calendar while your at it..."
..."i don't want to think about it..."
For Christ's sake...for once in your superficial, contrived and blissfully ignorant, J Crew lives...please...do us all a favour and "think" about it!!!
Think about why you keep innocently "attracting" the same "losers" and yet you keep coming back here with the EXACT same criteria that landed you the last winner...assuming it was them that was lacking in substance.
Think about your completely irrational need to feel secure for reasons you don't understand, would NEVER accept in your partner and yet still accept as perfectly normal for you.
Think about what kind of person you are when you would shop at Walmart but would never date someone who works there...
Truth is I can spot you poor, defenseless victims a mile away. You tend to travel in packs like neurotic, boy crazy teenagers even at 30. Twitching and preening...posing yourselves near your taller, fat friend so you look even better to Johnny Alpha Male and the 5 oclock shadow brigade...who I'm sure have NOTHING but the best of intentions for you as he buys you yet another shooter...
These sites are partly to blame...as is the ratio of men to women. Too many women receiving too many emails and inflating their own self worth. I mean most of you act WAY prettier than you ACTUALLY are.
I have an idea ... you want someone to find you an atractive, tall, dark exotic man who's ambitious, successful and enjoys the finer things in life. The kind of man who takes charge of a situation and doesn't take crap from anyone???
No problem...just put on this Bourka and let's see what we can arrange... | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 10:56:49 PM | Actually, I try to disarm this in my profile with some tongue-in-cheek.....just my way of saying I don't really care about it. But it it's important to you, nothing to see here... | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 3:21:58 AM | | I personally don't care what these women want lol, truth is shorter guys are better at most sports other than basketball are usualy better drummers [as I know of none over 5'7" worth a damn , we live longer than the taller dudes and hey the way I see it... when the women hit 55 to 65 there won't be anything left alive for them over 5' 6" anyway so eh' he who laughs last laughs best... | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 4:00:33 AM | Yep! My loss completely...but wait! I said that! I prefer taller guys. It's what I like. Honesty doesn't cut it I guess! Hmmmm.... Honesty...must be overrated..
Initial attraction...tall guy. I have dated shorter, and tried...but sometimes it's too much work to get past an ego that is out of proportion to their height. Not all short guys are like this, and yes, tall ones have out of control egos as well, as do women. (hope I covered everyone there so I don't get blasted)
Maybe I just haven't met the shorter man who is my match. Never say never...always have to look beyond the surface anyway... It all comes down to compatibility. And yes...I'm still ATTRACTED to a guy who is taller than me. Just my honest opinion of my PERSONAL preference. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 5:37:58 AM | ^^^And you are still here why? Just kidding of course. You have been here but a month and surely will get "swiped" up quickly. Yes, that is your opinion and honesty is what I asked for. Thank you for it.
I dated a girl once I met on a site and she asked me over the phone before we met "Do you have a problem dating taller women?" I have to admit I was stunned. That is one area short guys MUST get over is feeling self conscious and thus making the woman feel the same when with us or short guys in general after meeting a self conscious one. She was 4 inches taller and had two bad divorces previous. She was just waaaaaay to fast for even me and it is very difficult to scare me away. She had two taller men previous. She told me I was better than both of them put together when it came to intimate time. 20 O's in one night to prove it. Not bragging, but sometimes the book can get real interesting and entertaining once you get past the cover. That poor girl is probably still recovering. We can make up for height in many ways.
Just recently I read an ad here where a woman HAD to have a taller guy...no ifs ands or butts. I send her a message Subject: "What if I stand on a bucket?".
Message: "Will that qualify me as being taller?"
Of course I didn't get a response but I got a chuckle doing it. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 7:33:32 AM | I've thought about getting those "rings" those women in that other country (somebody help me out here) put around their necks to stretch out and lengthen their necks. I just figured it would look kind of silly having a super long neck and short body. Would that still qualify me as being taller though? What would you ladies do if you met a guy on a blind date who was short but had a super long neck and was 6 foot tall but was supposed to be 5'5"?

Posted: 6/17/2006 7:51:39 AM | | Wow..when I read the title of this post, I just had to respond. I sat and thought about it for a bit..initially I am attracted to taller men..BUT would not pass up on the opportunity to be with someone just because he may be shorter than me. I have only dated one guy that was shorter than me..and he turned out to be a jerk anyhow..but thats another story..lol..I guess it all comes down to preference. Some people like red heads, and others like blondes. Some like atheletic builds and others like average. I can't judge anyone for their preferences. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 7:52:51 AM | | I haven't read this entire thread, but it is refreshing to see that some of you shorter gentlemen are secure with your height. As for those who are not. I just did a search, and found that most websites list the average height of a woman in the US to range from 5'4"-5'6". More times than not, the average fell closer to 5'4". I am 5'4", and I do not feel short compared to most of the women around me. In my neck of the woods, tall women often feel a little insecure about their height, so if dating a taller man makes them feel better about themselves, more power to them. Most of the women I know simply prefer to date a man who is at least close to their own height; therefore, national statistics would suggest that height is rarely an issue. Some of you are telling women how they should feel about the height, so I'm just telling you how you should feel about it. It's no big deal! Could it be that you are insecure for other reasons, or do you prefer taller women? | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 11:18:17 AM | | Do you guys remember "Joey" who used to play and tour with Kid Rock? Remember he wore that white t-shirt and in bold black magic marker had the words: "I am not a f*ckin' midget!" written on it. And he wasn't one either but he was about 4' tall I believe. Poor guy died too I think of alcohol overdose. I wonder if any of Kid Rock's women were nice enough to make him feel like a big man. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 2:02:51 PM | Well I for one am not that short nor that tall so I've dated many women, some taller, a lot of them shorter, but mostly ones the same height. That being said I have also been discriminated against for not being a towering 6' 3". And it is what it is, but what gets me is that so often the women who discriminate against shorter men are the same ones who criticize men for only dating women with big tits and not dating fat ass women. Now I'm not saying one thing is more right than the other, but just pointing out that it is the same train of thought. And ladies don't deny that you have done that very thing. I've heard some of the most venomous insults hurled at women by other women. So next time before you ladies start ****ing and moaning about why you can't get a date, take a look in the mirror at that huge ass or those itty bitty titties and push away from the table or get yourself some implants. Because it says more you when you can do something about your condition (being fat) and you don't than it does about someone who can't help what they are (short).
Moral of the story - women are and always have been more shallow than men so don't hate us when we leave your fat asses for younger, hotter women and then use those hotter, younger women until they start getting fat and then it's adios to them too. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 2:19:16 PM | I'm 5 feet even.I don't want to be with a giant.We'd just look silly together.However, if I date anyone shorter than me, we'd look silly then too.For me an ideal height is anyone from 5'5'' to 6'1''.I would not date anyone taller than that.That would be just too scary.

Posted: 6/17/2006 3:47:01 PM | Since the beginning of time when humans lived in cages, a tall and strong man was looked at as the hunter and protector, they can supply food. A woman with wide hips, big breasts and full lips represented a healthy woman capable of bearing children. Those instincts are still in us. Till around 50 years ago, a voluptuous woman was considered the attractive woman. Look at all the old paintings and early movies. Here comes TV, Motion Pictures and magazines, they brain wash people to make a thin woman the sexy woman, but most men still like curves and big breasts. In a lot of cultures a fat woman still represents wealth and good health.
I am 5 7 and I have dated taller and shorter women. Some woman won’t give me the time of the day because I am not taller, but there are plenty of fish in the sea. I think that some short men have a problem of confidence, and a woman loves a confident and take control man. Some short guys were bullied in school and that left scares. A few guys tried to bully me when I was in school, I got a few ass kicks, but I always left the other guy with broken nose. Eventually they stopped messing with me.
If you are short and you get some 1st dates, but not a second date, it’s not your height; it’s your personality. My buddy is 6 2, he gets 10 times more first dates than me, but rarely a second or third date.
What is shallow??? Good question. Shallow is refusing to go out with a short guy, but you would go out with the same guy if he wins the lottery. I have my own preferences and I rarely find a woman attractive unless she has the physical characteristics I like.
I am tired of all the short men whining and saying, “it’s her loss”. Be confident, approach the beautiful woman that other men are afraid to because they think she’s out of their reach. You will get rejected a few times, so big deal, think about the rewards. If you can’t handle rejection, then you do have some issues you need to work on . NICE is not good enough for a woman. So short guys like me, stop your crying and go after what you want, and if you have the personality, you make her laugh; you entertain her, you listen to her she will like you. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 3:52:17 PM | | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^AMEN brother!! We do create some of our own problems. I am only tapping into what we are capable of if we are confident and just go after what we want worry free of rejection. Let your sense of humor out, don't let anyone get you down. Have a great heart no matter what happens. Be YOU. Remember, two choices? Nice post Uonlylive1ce!! We are "what" we are, but we can be "who"ever we want. I still have to work on it daily and always will. But the alternative scares me. | |
