| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 10/16/2007 9:44:43 AM | | I am 5'7" and very proud and confident of who I am I understand the preference thing we men are just as shallow it is human nature. I guess we could start a forum for why do men like women with big breast? should not the heart and character triumph first. everyone seems to be looking for something that is perfect when we all are so far from it. another forum could be why women keep falling for the same jerks that treat them bad, then ask everyone why did it not work out? | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 9:51:36 AM | | I love dating shorter guys. When I want a kiss I love to be able to just reach over and snag one. I love dating taller guys. I love dating guys in between. lol I certainly wouldnt say ..you are too tall for me to date. But as far as comfort level I've always liked shorter guys. | |

Posted: 10/16/2007 1:08:06 PM | i totally agree w/july16ladybuginitial post & funny, we're the same height. i actually WISH i could conjure an attraction for shorter men, however 99% of the time, i just can't. similarly to anything else that IS OR ISN'T attractive to a person-height in me, is a trait that i find very appealing.
i am not the least bit offended when men express a non-patronizing preference such as being into fit women, heavy women, tall women, short women, asian women, older women, younger women, etc. i also do find it a valid point to consider the REASONS we are attracted to what we're attracted to-but at the end of the day, god created us w/certain chemicals in tact, to proliferate the species. if we're not tunred on by something, we're going against our own biology & i don't think i should have to "fight or compromise" to find physical attraction in another person. (believe me, i have tried, as i have had many male friends w/whom i didn;t feel an attraction, but because they were incredible people, i tried to force the issue, but always ended up feeling less than fulfilled). i have at least, branched out & attempted to date outside my common preference, but when it comes to height, i have consistently found that my interest is simply not fueled, if in heels, i am towering over the guy i am dating. height is sexy on a man the way curves are sexy on a woman. why certain people are offended by this notion/opinion baffles me. (shorter men seem to REALLY be offended- & they needn't be. i am a shorter women & when men are searching for taller girls, i may scratch my head, since women wear heels & the trait is not associated w/femininity as much as it is w/ masculinity, but i SO am not offended nonetheless, & can totally appreciate a person's preference!~ :) | |

From what I've read on this forum, it seems like most short men are less offended by this notion and more offended by the extension of that notion. Most women seem to go much farther than "tallness is sexy in men as thinness or large breasts are sexy in women". Instead, most women tend to associate short stature with physical weakness and/or moral turpitude. They also tend to apply their inclination as a universal rule or "requirement", rather than in terms of a personal preference which is simply one factor among others. Height is usually not seen as a "factor" by women, but as a prerequisite.
This is why short men probably have just cause to be offended. Can you think of any other physical characteristic (or even moral characteristic) that is widely viewed as a prerequisite for a relationship? The only one I can even think of is "the man must be taller than the woman". And in the minds of some women, the rule is that "the man must be much taller than the woman when she is wearing heels".
Hope this helps.

Posted: 10/17/2007 2:05:58 PM | | I don't care... though I seem to be more inclined to be shy and quiet to somebody taller than me... I don't know why... and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just am. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 2:30:03 PM | My Freudian amigos,
a tall and lean man's figure is a phallic figure. More than a tall and muscular man or a short and muscular man. Women would like muscles for a little bit, but at the end they will fall for the tall and lean man. :) | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 2:36:21 PM | There are many really cool short guys. Think about Tom Cruise (actually he makes barf but he is handsome/buff), Michael J. Fox, Bob Costas, and on and on.
I am just under 5'...my husband was 6'4", my current is 6'2" and on and on.
I would love to meet someone down here on my planet......that didn't have to lean over to kiss me. However, I never dated anyone because of their height.

Posted: 10/17/2007 3:11:59 PM | Dear ladies,
reading all these comments on how many of you prefer taller men, makes me think that the percentage of superficial bimbos airheads must've trebled since the last time I was here. The justifications you offer are so lame and ridiculous that it would be better if you didn't say anything, all you're doing is offering a very unflattering portrayal of yourselves. Some of the comments are downright offensive, and if a guy would proffer them about a woman he would be hung at traitor's gate. As far as I'm concerned, I'm 5'6'' and I've dated many beautiful women sometimes even taller than me (I know, they needed a shrink pronto...). What I say is: if a woman is concerned about my lack of height, not only I don't want her as a partner, I don't even want to talk to her, I don't want to wast time on someone obviously so idiotic. Cranial boxes full of fecal matters are not my cup of tea. No wonder you're still all single, girls..........Even tall men have a brain and they use it to put as many miles as possible between them and such moronic hags........ | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 5:21:53 PM | ^^^
If you "only date men who are at least as tall as" you...then how is this "just a preference"? It sounds like a prerequisite, or a requirement" Not a preference. 
And of course it's shallow. You are automatically rejecting (sight unseen) an extremely wide variety of people, based on one physical characteristic.

Posted: 10/17/2007 5:54:56 PM | if women were REALLY honest in their profiles for preferring tall men, they'd fess up and admit it has to do with penis size. they equate height with penis size being larger.
the truth is i've met men in varying ranges of height..and not all tall men have large penises.
conversely, not all short men have short penises.
and thats a fact, jack! | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 7:19:00 PM | ^^^^^^
Height and penis size have zero corrolation, same goes for how big his hands or feet are. it's a myth pure and simple. JD has it dead on. it doesn't bother me if a woman doesn't find me attractive because of my height I can deal with it. but it offends me when they equate being short with being weaker, less capable, inferior, etc. because then you're crossing into bigotry. Many women just don't want to admit they are shallow! that's another thing that annoys me and lastly I don't know if there is a language barrier or something but alot of women on POF can't tell the difference between a requirement and a preference. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 7:42:47 PM | | Many women don't date short men because they think short men are "insecure" or a taller man can "protect her better". Both generalizations are false. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 8:00:19 PM | I once dated a man that was exactly my height (5'4") and I thought he was really cute. The relationship didn't last because of differences in personality. It had nothing to do with his height. If I met someone my height again, I would be fine with that, but no shorter. Most of the people I've dated have been only 3 or 4 inches taller than me. Whether a man is my height or taller, I'm looking for someone with a compatible personality and a sense of humour.  | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 8:26:46 PM | Sexy, attractive. confidence, must come from within,
It is nobody's fault but your own, So quit blaming everything on other people . take responsibility, for your actions, and quit whining,
I love men, It's the soul that counts, | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 8:42:15 PM | Again, Why do men think, they have to fight over women, very few times it is needed, it is a waste of good energy, All confident, women, can take care of themselves, and not get themselves in a situation, where they say[ my husband is watching] does that
Mean, if he wasn't around it would be okay, Men just be nice men the way we love you, short or tall. | |

Posted: 10/17/2007 11:53:28 PM | This may be a hard pill for many women to swallow, but to reject some man based on their height without getting to know their personality is well, er..shallow! Same thing with men who won't even talk to women because of their weight. To judge someone based on something without seeing the person for who they really are is not a very high quality trait. Are you going to reject a person from a different race because of their race? Isn't that racism? Hate to break it to you, but making judgement on someone based on their height and racism fall into the same category, it's all bigotry.
You can bottle it up all nice by calling it a "preference" or whatever by trying to defend your beliefs, but deep down, you know that you are simply being bigoted. If you all truly believed that your tastes and attractions were normal and right, you would not be on this site all the time asking other people if your tastes were normal and right!
And to the women who say "tall men make me feel secure," all this shows me is that you yourself are insecure and have issues with your own self-esteem. Most secure men would avoid you. And before you go any further, realize that I myself am 6ft, so I am above average height, I do not have a "chip" on my shoulder, I just call it like I see it.
Well, that's my two cents. I guess it's time to sit back and watch the flaming begin | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 1:28:07 AM | WOW I never even realized that I don't have a Preference in the Height of a Man!!!
Till, I read this Forum. Now I do have preference's about somethings that I am looking for in a Man. However I have been with Shorter Men and Tall Men. I am 5'7, and
I have never cared either way!!! I will say that I, Spent 34 year's with a Man that was the same height. I also wore heels, and it never bothered him or me. Nor have I thought about it since I have been Dating. I do agree that Shorter Men have no Problem Defending a Woman. I also have a Friend that is over 6ft tall female, and married a man that is about 5'8. I had to Post this since, I seen this even though its unlikely that anyone will read it, since the post has been on here for quite a while.
I Just Never Thought about the Height of a Man, as being Something to be Concerned About!!!!! | |
