Posted: 3/3/2008 12:23:21 PM | OMG!! You want a woman to be 5' 10'' and under 125 lbs??? They would have to be annorexic! A girl that is 5'10'' will definitely be heavier than 125 lbs and not because she is fat just because of the height. I am 5'11'' and I am 140lbs and I am a normal weight....Not at all fat....Good luck finding a girl that is 5'10'' and under 125LBS!! LMAO!!!  | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 12:31:25 PM | Although I prefer a man who is tall, I always wind up dating short men.
In all honesty, it doesn't really matter. I am just a fan of men. A guy who is attractive to me, is attractive regardless of his stature. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:07:08 PM | | Totally agree with you, well said. I'm 5'7" not very tall and I love short and petite women (my wife is 4'11" and 90lbs) just because that's what I like same as you, to me it's very simple just like you said it's a matter of what you like and what you don't. Not that I can't find tall women pretty, smar, intelligent, nice or whatever else but just because I feel more comfortable, more of a fit for me I would say when I'm with a short and petite woman. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:18:42 PM | | Ohhh girl! I do adore small men! Not smaller than me but at the same height...5'5/ 5'5...ish...and proportionate. And if they're small and gentle, and have lovely deep eyes..and sensual lips oh god-dess! they drive me crazy!Why is it???Well haven't analyzed it but the men i have favored in my life (and can think of one especially)had these characteristics. Works for me!Together with some other personal values of course! | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:20:15 PM | And I agree to what has already been said many times...it is no different than those who have preferences to blonds over redheads....DD cups over a C cup....long hair over short hair....Petite to Voluptuous
I understand your point. Everyone is entitled to a preference. However there is one difference between height and the other examples mentioned. Men's preferences for hair color, body type, breast size etc can vary. For example, if a woman with black hair is rejected by a man because he prefers blondes, then she could easily find another man that would date or prefer a black haired woman. Most women are attracted to taller man. Therefore it can be harder for a short man to find a date.
You see, this is one of the big problems. Women are quite flippant about openly judging a man on their height yet get all pissy when a man judges them on an aspect of their physical appearance.
I agree. A segment of women won't date short men, bald men, fat men, men from a certain race etc. Then they will get angry if a man doesn't date them or one of their friends because they are fat. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 1:24:35 PM | | I'm 6'1 and have only seen a handfull of girls thats taller then me.. However do have a few shorter friends and the prejudice they go thru because of thier height is pretty harsh.. But once again its ok for a woman to be that way .. because of the double standard society we live in... a Woman can bash a man for being to short even though the guy has no control what so ever and nothing is said.. But soon as a guy dosen't like a girl because she's too fat ( Something thats controlable) All hell breaks loose and he's the " Shallow **stard" LOL Geez you gotta love it ! To all my Short Fella's out there stay strong.. You guys have some pretty good company.. Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stalone, "Pretty boy" Floyd Mayweither Just to name a few guys 5'9 and under... | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 3:57:54 PM | | I never understood why so many people judge people by appearances. I believe that it's what is in the heart that matters. I'm 5 foot tall and in a wheelchair so I'm lucky if a woman even looks at me. I've had one woman tell me that she'd never get involved with a man in a wheelchair because she wanted to have children and it wouldn't be fair to her children to have a father in a wheelchair because he wouldn't be able to run and play with them. Another woman told me that she'd never get involved with a man in a wheelchair because she was still young and didn't want to be burdened by a man in a wheelchair. I don't discriminate. I don't care if a woman is 2 foot tall or 10 foot tall. It is what is in hear heart that matters. When you judge someone on outward appearances you may just be missing out on the person you've been searching for. | |

It useless to argue over it. And anyway, big guys can't dance. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 6:13:57 PM | | Although I prefer a man who is my height or greater, I don't limit myself. If the man was shorter than I was and had the qualities I am looking for, height would not be an issue. I actually prefer men who are not much taller than I am to those who are much taller, but either way, height is not an issue. It's the inside that really matters. | |

Read many threads where a guy says he wants a woman with DDs who isn't overweight? Disgusted by it? Well, most women are.
I related a story in another thread about height awhile back. I remember a girl in a bar I was chatting up telling me at one point that she couldn't go out with me because she was attracted to taller men. I said, "that's OK, I'm generally attracted to thinner women, but I'm willing to make an exception in your case." Well, she freaked. She called me rude and insensitive, not to mention shallow.
Now, why was it OK for her to pass judgement on my height, and openly express it, while it was wrong for me to pass judgement on an aspect of her physical appearance.
You see, this is one of the big problems. Women are quite flippant about openly judging a man on their height yet get all pissy when a man judges them on an aspect of their physical appearance. Then we hear that old whiney rebuttal: "It's what's inside that counts!!"
Let me ask you this ladies, ifyou see a women's profile and the headline says "Looking for a tall man" do you find that distasteful. How about if you see a man's profile that says "Looking for a thin women" or "Looking for a women with big breasts."
It's interesting that no one has really responded to this one. I think the women are afraid of looking shallow because of the double standard. | |

Yes, it is interesting. No one addressed it in the other thread either (which was eventually deleted, of course.)
It's easier just to ignore the double standard than admit it exists.
If they admit it exists, then they have two options.
1) They can openly accept all "preferences" and encourage men to express their preferences in the same way they encourage women to express a height preference. Whether that means a weight preference, a breast size preference, a butt size preference, etc. [I don't see this happening, though. Most women will still deem such male preferences as "objectifying" women. Funny, why isn't expressing a height preference also a form of objectification?]
2) They can condemn all expressions of physical preferences as shallow and wrong. [But, they will not do this as they would openly be condemning women who express a height preference. And I've noticed women are quick to commend other women who express such a preference. "It's important to be clear about what you are attracted to, they say." They suddenly change their tune when it involves a man expressing his preference for large breasts! "That man is just disgusting and shallow." Same if he openly expresses his preference for thin women. "How dare he not see the personality below the exterior!] | |

I agree that it's useless to "argue" over it. But I think it should all be put onto the table for all decent people to cringe. The best cure for shallowness is a little social scrutiny and sunlight.
In other words, I think it's very telling that some of the posters are playing the "move along; nothing to see here" game. Some of the posters keep saying "it's just an individual preference, and not an indication of a widespread social prejudice; just move along...don't mind that man behind the curtain".

Posted: 3/3/2008 8:43:59 PM | | I'm 5'8" and have always been more attracted to taller men. I have dated guys my height, but they always ask me not to wear heels so that they don't feel and look short when we go out in public. My ex's comments about my height and me feeling as if I was restricted to sneakers or flats all of the time gave me this self consciousness about my height. Even though we have been broken up for 2 years, I still have a hard time buying or wearing heels, because I feel like every guy in the club is staring at me! | |

Guys who are your height are not really "short guys". You didn't say that they were shorter than you, and so I'm assuming that they were about 5'9"? 5'9" is not really considered all that short for a guy. It sounds like you were just dating a jerk and it had nothing to do with height.
Also, you have to consider that an actual short guy will be less concerned about "looking short" because they ARE short. It's the medium height guy's who don't want to "look short" because they know (on some level) the discrimination and social bias they would face from others for being perceived as actually being short.
Also...guys in a club are not staring at you because you are a 5'10" woman (after heels). 5'10" is tall for a woman, but not an Amazon or anything like that. Plus, lot's of guys like tall women.
