There is nothing scary about your height to me. You are spectacular, and I'd ask you out in a hot second if only I lived a couple thousand miles closer. | |

Posted: 10/27/2007 7:27:36 AM | I personally "love, love and love" a man who is close to my height, he's easy to cuddle and hug and look in the eyes. There is nothing wrong with tall guys but my experiences with guys my own height have been more comfy shall we say..  | |

Posted: 10/27/2007 9:50:45 AM | Well maybe that is one reason I have so many Asian and oriental girlfriends. From Like Japan, Korea & Philippines. They are excellent women. I am 5’ 7” and they Love me.. Not because they want to get into the country. Tell that to The Japanese women
they will laugh at you.. Short Men out there, Try these Women they are Good Women let me tell you….. Maybe that is why I seem to attact so many of them – Thank goodness I live in Hawaii where there are like hundreds of thousands of them..
I have been to their countries too and the food is great… | |

Posted: 10/27/2007 9:24:34 PM | Generally lotsa ladies here (POF) like their guys to be at least 2" taller - here's some food for thought:
Bogart 5'8", Bacall 5'8", Bergman 5'10"
Viggo & Liv both 5'10"
Chuck, Di & Dodi all 5'10"
And here's the kicker:
Napoleon 5'6", Josephine 5'4" | |

Posted: 11/4/2007 1:09:45 PM | I think it boils down to confidence...Iam 5ft 7 and if i am interested in lady to ask for a date, her height is not an issue...
If I come across, someone who is very nice and I like her and enjoy chatting with her...I would be honest and upfront and ask her, if she minds that iam a bit shorter than her....I have no problem with my height....Iam quite proud of it actually.
If she answers me with a yes....that she prefers guys to be taller, i won't hold that against her...I would thank her for her honesty and move on....If she answers, no she doesn't mind....I would continue to pursue her...
We all have to be comfortable on the physical side i guess....it doesn't mean your shallow at all...
I think the ladies deserve a fair go on what their preferences are.....
Me, Iam pretty easy going though, i would give a tall and short woman both a fair go. | |

Posted: 11/4/2007 1:25:25 PM | Totally LOVE short guys! In fact when I was available I specifically stated 6 ft. or under and a preference for 5'8" or under. My bf is 5'8" and that is a perfect height for me. Easy to hug, kiss, dance with and look in the eyes. So much easier than straining my neck all the time to look up!
I met my bf on-line. He was on-line for about 6 months and never had any trouble meeting and dating women--either on-line or in the real world. He is very outgoing, confident and fearless so his height was never an issue. | |

Posted: 11/4/2007 1:35:04 PM | I am 5'8", but I don't have any problem being with a man who might be a bit shorter than me. I have a bit of a crush on Kevin Connelly, and he's 5'6" or something...I know, it doesn't matter in the world of fantasy...anyhoo...
One of my good friends is 5'6" and hot as hell...we are both attracted to each other, but live far apart, so it's just not going to work...if it weren't for that (and the fact that he's a slut...haha), I'd be all over him.
I think there are two reasons that some women won't date a shorter man:
1. They assume he has a small penis...I'm here to testify that sometimes their body's decided to put more effort into building up other areas...
I can tell you from personal experience that body size and build have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with penis size.
You all have heard the saying about big hands and big feet?
It's just a guarantee that they wear big gloves and big shoes.
2. The woman wants to feel small and dainty...for some of us, that's just never going to happen, so suck it up, ladies!
It's funny that threads like this get women coming out and bashing men for something they can't control, yet when there are threads that might be negative about women's bodies, women freak out.
Some of us just plain ol' love men and worry more about things like:
-Is he a good person?
-Is he at least semi-intelligent?
-Does he love his family and friends?
-Can he laugh at himself? | |

It's too bad that more women don't think like you do. Yet, the majority of women put height first on your list. Height has become more important than...
"Is he good person?"
"How will he treate me?"
"Will he love me more than anything else in this world?"
Women have hidden their superficial and shallow tendencies behind "preference" and "physical attraction". Many will use the word preference incorrectly when it comes to height because they will not date a short statured male. The word that should be used is "requirement". Women should have a sign like the amusement park that says, "You have to be atleast this tall to date me."
Then there are those that will try to compare height with weight. Weight can be changed...Height can not be. They are not the same.
You stated a double standard that I have talked about for a long time. If a woman says, for example, "I want a man who is tall, dark and handsome." It is called preference or physical attraction. But, if a man for example says, "I want a woman who is skinny, blond and large breasted." He is called a superficial pig, who only cares about the outside by women. Isn't this a double standard? | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 2:41:00 PM | | Well.. I think it is the same as why men don't like larger women. You will find maybe 2 in 10 men prefer large women over thinner women and its the same for the whole short/tall thing. Its just the way things are. | |

All I know is that I don't want to date fat women....
Of course, you will be branded as a shallow pig by making this statement. It seems women are very supportive of other women who express a height preference, patting them on the back and telling them it's very important to express their preferences. They suddenly become rather upset when a man expresses his physical preferences towards a women, be it weight, breast size, etc.
I actually remember an incident a few years back where a women in a bar told me she couldn't date me because she's attracted to taller men. I told her I was generally attracted to thinner women but I'd be willing to make an exception with her. She was mortified at this statement. How dare I objectify her in such a manner! How could I be so shallow and insensitive! Of course, I was just stating a preference in the same way she was stated a preferences only seconds earlier when she mentioned my height. I don't see how it's any different. Reeks of a double standard in my opinion. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 2:53:16 PM | | Being short is not a fault is it. Its a genetic fact, over which they have no control. Its what a guy is made of, thats important, not his height.A good heart and a gentle spirit does not have a measurement.How many nice guys are rejected because they don't match height requirements. Its mad look at the heart not the height. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 2:56:38 PM | | This is a lot of bull. I'm 5'6'' tall. Short huh? I make 125,000 a year. I was born in Harlem, N.Y.C. worked my way up the line went to Columbia U. where I got my law degree. In all my career, my shortness was no problem and really didn't enter into it. It was my brains and personality that did it. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 3:18:35 PM | My personal preference I like a guy who is taller than me, maybe its because I feel protected and more femine...not sure. My ex was 6ft2 and all the men in my family are 6ft's maybe thats a reason...I have dated guys around my own height 5ft8 and its been ok...although I dont think Id feel comfortable with a guy who is smaller than me.. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 3:31:06 PM | This is a pretty huge tiopic for POf. Guys don't care about height, women are the picky ones. I am 5'3. and a half. I have actually been rejected on this site and even laughed at for being short. Its really lame and shallow. I don;t care about high heels those things are torture devices but whear what you want as long as they are not ugly clunky blatform heels. a Shoe should be comfortable. Since when is 5'8 the acerage considered short and 5'10 is the defacto standard for a girlt o be attaracted to a guy? It seems liek a minimum for the shallow lady and there are lots of them. Especially on the internet. And I agree about the crushing thing. I would like a girl who weighs less than me. I weigh about 160lbs. I would not want a hefer crushing me. Men care about weight and women care about height. My rule of thumb women should weigh less than 200lbs it depends on height to weight ratio. And have a height of anywhere from 4'10-6' Anything taller is a bit uncomfortable.
And its weird seeing a tall towering guy witha gril who is my heights. You feel protected from what? Especailly, if you live int he suburbs. Its jsut abnother excuse to be shallow. If you live in the street of harlem you need protection thats a survival instinct. If you live ina ritzy little suburb where people on average make 80K a year then stop being a shall snob. Sure everyone has their prefernces.
But what ever ahppened to loving someoen for what's on the inside? getting to knwo someoen and givign them a chance isntead of outright rejecting people before even talking to them? And the person who wrote this she seems to knwo something. Height does not relate to penis size I have had too many female friends who get upset with their 6 '2 guys with 4 inch  Meanwhile I am 5'3 with a 6 inch and its thick and juicy
And doy ou want to get crushed under someone's weight? What about when he eats you out of house and home. MY pal chris is 6 feet tall and he eats like a horse! But seriously height is a non issue that many shallow women make an issue out of. I've actually been dumped by women for guys who were unnattractive with blemished faces but the guy was about a foot taller. Cna he really protect her ebtter than me? A guy who was in many fights in highschool and even stabbeda locla bully in the chest witha screw driver when I was 16 and being attacked. That guy never btohered me again. | |

Posted: 2/17/2008 4:35:26 PM | | I've dated men who have ranged between 5'4" and 6'4", and their height has never mattered to me. However, their height has really mattered to them. The shortest guys I've dated have unfortunately had Little Guy Syndrome, which has turned me off a bit. But if the guy is 5'0" and genuinely decent, I have no problem with it at all. | |
