| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 6/17/2006 4:01:45 PM | StarFish....
You have a right to your opinion.. for it is just that...
I am 5'8'' and have an Electrical Engineering Degree and make a six figure salary...
I have never heard of such nonsense!!!!
I dont' say this to boast.. just to reply on what you have to say.. which is a bunch of crap
There are plenty of successfull short men out there making good incomes, well educated and intelligent. I will put my intelligence, career and success besides any 6' tall man any day.
Shorter men have to me more confident to get by in life...
In fact a study was done and it found that the man who were most successfull at dating were men in the 5'7-5'9 range... because they tended to be more confident.
A friend of mine told me about this.. I probably shouldn't bring it up since I cant quote the source. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 6:16:17 PM | I've always thought it's kind of cool to be a short dude. Closer to the women folk for conversational purposes and tall chicks boobs are right in my face! Which is awesome, because I can stare away and not worry what they'd think since they wouldn't be interested in me anyways.
Sure, on average tall guys get more interest from the ladies... the key words there being ON AVERAGE. But fellow short dudes... there are worse things in the world than being short. One of them would be being insecure... lack of confidence. And besides, not getting all the ladies is hardly one of the worlds greater injustices.
How do you think a refugee from Darfur whose family has been raped and murdered would react to your insecurity about your height?
But this thread does make it seem like women really are more shallow than men. To each his/her own though. I mean, I have my hangups... anyone even slightly overweight better be f***ing gorgeous, be amazing in bed and treat me like a king. But it could be argued that being fat is really a character defect, since it stems from behavior, and it's something that can be changed. I've found that the women I've been with do prefer tall men, but they liked me enough to not care so much.
But one Chinese woman I dated said she preferred white men in the 5'4 to 5'8 range, but is looking for a tall Chinese husband because of her mother's insistence, and for status/social reasons. If you think height is only a concern to Westerners, the Chinese are ridiculous. You can't be a diplomat for the Chinese government if you are below 5'6 for a man, and 5'1 for a woman. Those are the average male and female heights in China. | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 8:01:58 PM | | OK, so I'm short and that's why I had to chime in on this topic. Not dating anyone just because of their height, weight, whatever, is just plain shallow. Don't get me wrong, I do have a "perfect" perference in a mate, but I would never allow that alone to stop me from dating a taller or heavier woman than my perfect, physical dream girl. And I must say it's a great thing because I've some tremendous ladies that I would have never met otherwise. Sorry but your only hurting yourself by limiting your possiblities. Oh and for all you sex crazed ladies, a short man can have large penis, just like short women have large breasts. lol - lighten up!! | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 9:34:52 AM | Thanks for the props guys.
I really wish a few good women would set their sisters straight for a change. I mean I understand we all have our little preferences but don't run me and other men down just because you think you can get away with it...
Honestly, if we judged women by the same criteria they judge us, most of them would be sitting home getting older, wider and ultimately just what they deserve!!!
Let's see...sing and dance for some high maintainance brat who will NEVER truly appreciate what she has...or invite a bride over from another country who doesn't need any sort of reality check...just a good honest man to respect and cherish them... treat her like an equal.
Stay home while little miss "do these pants make me look fat" sorts her 5 grand in make up, reading up whether "I'm really that into her"...or go out for a few pints with the boys and maybe stop at the old rub and tug...
After reading this thread, I can understand why more men are trying these alternatives!! | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 9:40:50 AM | Hell. before signing up on POF I though being 5'10" was a decent hight. But there's a hell of alot of chicks here that feel being 5'10" is too short for them. WTF!? | |
|
| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 6/18/2006 10:02:01 AM | | I know. That confused the hell out of me, but it's true. There's dozens of women who would not even fart in the dirction of a guy that's under 5'11" or 6'0". | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 4:08:59 PM | | ^^^They are the ones you usually see on these sites for years and years. Eventually they realize "hey, I better lower my standards a little because pickin's are gettin' slim and all the other girls are out having fun with someone less than perfect and here I sit waiting for that <1%er" | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 8:14:07 PM | it is your loss when you judge someone because of how tall they are.
you expect us men to accept you as you are regardless of your imperfections,ie wieigth,too small this too big that.
i have always looked for the inner person ie heart and soul of a person.
my doctor has told me i should have been over six feet tall but i have medical issue.
so i may not be quite six feet but i am inbetter heatlh than 50% of the men out there
i am on the soccer field refereeing 5 to 6 games a week and in the winter i ref anaverage 5 games a week.
tell there even half of that 50% who can do thta at my age over 45
i have done this all my life.
i have dte dladies taller than me and ones who had an inner spirit thta was hard to reach but once we found it we really clicked
yours truly

Maybe you define yourself by who you are with, rather than who you are. | |

There's nothing wrong with not being attracted to a certain type. You shouldn't feel obligated to explain yourself. It's your preference. Some people are not attracted to a certain race, or facial hair, or someone's laugh, or the mentally retarded. I've personally never been attracted to anyone over 800 lbs. But I'm not going to say "I know it's probably wrong". Our carnal desires are not politically correct, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
I'm 5'7 and scrawny and I've found myself with women who are constantly checking out other guys, and the guys are always tall and big guys. They can't help who they're attracted to, so I don't kick myself in the ass about it. And they are attracted to me, or they wouldn't be dating me, having sex with me, trying to settle down with me, etc... I must be the hottest short guy! Yes!
Some shorter guys probably say 'psshhh.. 5'7. try being 5'4'. And yeah it's not easy, but get confident. Stop placing so much importance on whether a woman finds you physically attractive right off the bat. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. There are worse things than being short, and if you got the balls you can overcome anything. You can be quadriplegic and find a beautiful woman (see 'Murderball' the documentary film). The trick is to just make friends first. Show no sign you want more than just friendship and conversation, but passively get her to notice your strengths. If you're smart or talented in some area, let her know that (not by bragging or showing off). If you have a good looking face, get her to look in your eyes more and make facial expressions that she will respond to on that sexual level. The best thing you can be is funny. A good friend of mine is the same size and height as me, and looks like rodney dangerfield, but he's funny as hell. He always seems to get girlfriends in the 8.5-10 range, and when he's single, he gets more p**sy than any 6'2 guy i know.
Just know that you are the man (if your career, social life, and mental and physical health are in good shape there's no reason for you to feel otherwise), relax and don't care what women think about you, and grow a pair of testicles...
And oh yeah. quit looking for women online. Because nothing works on here but the physical, and if you're under 5'10, forget it. I'm still on here for the forums, but I just changed my personal ad because I got ZERO response, even though I had all these great qualities listed. If you base your worth on your results off this site, you're pathetic because it's all just superficial BS, so I might as well make my ad reflect that as well. | |

Tall men make me feel womanly and sexy and they make my body come to life......
My scentiments exactly. I'm short but tall men ..over 5'11 make me feel secure, protected and womanly..they come across as more masculine..and strong enuff to take on the world if it should come crushing down on me....i will however date someone 5'8 but I DO have a preference for tall men...and I get beat up and criticised for my preferences..but if a guy can stipulate WANTED: woman, short, blond, athletic, nice ass" why can't i ask for "tall, big strong hands and muscular forearms..?" | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 1:42:04 PM | | One thing I've noticed is how many women are looking for a guy who is at least 5'10", even if they are about six inches shorter. Quite honestly, I don't think there are enough single guys who are at least 5'10" to go around for all the women who want them! | |

Technically not. Almost 3/4 of women want a guy over 6', but of course average height is 5'9. I think about 1/4 of the women have never dated someone under 6'.
So 75% of the women are fighting over about 40% of the men. | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 1:58:29 PM | ^^^like I once posted...those are the women who spend years on these sites and by all means they should have had no problems meeting someone. I think they are a little on the, should I say it, picky side. | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 2:13:25 PM | | Oh what a great irony--fortunately or unfortunately the women mainly stand to lose. I wouldn't want these kind of women bringing children into the world with their heightist values--yes it does bring a smirk to my face whenever I see a 30- or 40-something who says she is holding out for only the best or something along those lines--excuse me honey?...move along...your time is up...LOL. The music has ended and you don't even have a stool to sit on. | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 2:36:03 PM | | devil princess, not to start a war here but I have seen some of the biggest p*ssies on earth take the form of a tall guy. They can't fix anything on their own, have to hire someone to do any project, couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag haven't worked a day in their life, have girly hands. If you dropped them off in the woods, they would lay their in the fetal position because they have no survival abilities whatsover and wouldn't know what to do without complete "technology" surrounding them. Spare me the "security" part of it. That's all I ask. I still believe 50% of it is the worry of what others will think of you when they see you with, God forbid, a shorter guy. I dated a girl 4 inches taller and I will bet my life on it, she will never find better than what she got with me intimately. I thought the twice divorced girl was going to die. Why? Because it is about passion and what is in your heart. I can't think of a woman that I have been intimate with, short or tall, that I didn't make her body, as you say, "come to life" and surprise the****ns out of her. If you are attracted to tall and that is it, that is fine. For those out there worried about their image, open the cover of the book, you may find it to be one of those stories so interesting and entertaining, you may use the restroom as an excuse to keep reading it. All in light hearted fashion, of course | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 5:54:32 AM | | I'm 5'3" if I stand very tall in my bare feet. Men shorter than that border on being drawfs, but they don't make me nervous, and I will date them. Doesn't bother me in the least. | |

Posted: 6/22/2006 7:33:48 AM | AmberAngel, to answer the question, I first need to make a statement. I am not a little person. I have never been and I will never be a size 4, 6 or even 8. I will not break if he grabs my arm; I am not so waif-like that he needs to worry about touching me. I am a woman with curves and I love it.
OK... having said that, when I think about being with a man, I think about being the Woman in the realtionship. If I feel like I'm physically bigger than him, I just can't deal with it. As strong as I am, I still like to feel comfortable and protected in the arms of a man. I've dated men who were smaller in size because I didn't want to be "that girl" who was hung up on physical appearances, but I just couldn't get over it. It's as if all the teasing I endured growing up haunted me because I felt so uncomfortable in my skin... no one should feel that way in what's supposed to be the safest place - in the arms of your man. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 6:20:26 PM | I am only five feet tall, and have dated BOTH 6'5" guys and guys who are 5'6". Surprisingly, the shorter guys were the ones with the bigger hearts and heads that were not huge upon their shoulders. Most of the tall guys I have dated had huge egos to go with their height. I would rather date a guy who is a few inches taller than me than one whom thinks he can get any woman just by walking into the room because of his height.
I personally think the reason why woman like taller guys is because the feel more protected by a guy who is tall. Height does not tell what is inside. I would rather have a diamond in a short package then a lump of coal in a tall one.
Don't get me wrong...there are jerks of all heights, and there are some really nice guys out there who are tall men. I just don't think a woman should limit the guys she dates just because of their height or weight. Guess the heart isn't that important to these gals. | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 7:19:51 PM | | Well my thought is..it is not always always fun being a woman who is 5'10 in my bare feet...I feel like an amazon..but I know who I am and I am a heck of nice person..I have a wonderful personality...but I get some ridcule because not only am I tall..I carry a few extra pounds as well,thanks to a bout of thyroid cancer several years ago....I found when it was a matter of life and death...it was easy to put vanity on the back seat....I just wish others wouldn't judge me before they know a thing about me...no matter who you are or what you look like..as long as you are a good person on the inside..that will always shine thru and you will always win in the long run...but when a person ugly on the inside,...in time I have found no matter how perfect in looks or whatever..they end up being some of the MOST unattractive people I have met or know...good luck all...=) Lori | |

Posted: 6/28/2006 7:24:31 PM | ^^^You are so right. Don't feel like "anything" because of what anybody says or thinks. You are what you are, but it's who you are that really makes the difference. If someone don't like you, too bad on them. This is what I wish I could instinctively do to someone if I know they are thinking something about me in a prejudging way:
BTW I dated a girl 5'9" one time and loved every bit of it. She and I both felt comfortable. | |
