| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 3/4/2008 7:21:33 PM | I go with LovingAngel's reply. I too find myself lower to the earth and many call me tiny at 5'3". All men seem tall to me and when I get to date someone and really look into his eyes without craning my neck..... I find that a treat. I have stared into many chins, a bunch of chest, and even a few bellybuttons.

| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 3/4/2008 10:07:27 PM | | For many years I would only date men 6' or over. I am 5' 6" and not small by any means. With smaller men I felt large and ugly so I would date men who made me feel smaller and more feminine. Then I met my husband. He is 5' 7" and about 145 pounds. Somehow, it has never mattered with him. He is sweet, sexy, charming, and always makes me feel great. I am just really glad I broke my rule for him. :) You never know what you might be missing when you limit yourself. | |

Posted: 3/4/2008 10:32:38 PM | Starfish: you have no idea what you are talking about short guys not making the big money. Seems like you have your eyes more on a mans pockets than what is in his heart OR WHATS IN HIS PAINTS. I'm 5'6" And make over 100k per year after taxes. So keep your negative views about short men to your self . He maybe the one that will never CHEAT on you . And as far as being a Man maybe your not woman enough to handle a good short guy. Some of us have more to offer than Bobby the Beach Body Lawyer. Besides in my line of work I catch them all the time CHEATING on there wife or girl friend. Maybe some day I'll catch YOUR BIG TALL MAN, DARN AND A SHORT MAN CAUGHT HIM. Now who's the man. | |

even the guy friends that i have that are short seek women that are shorter than they, so they can feel like a protector
Really? I've never heard of this before. Why would they need to be taller than her in order to feel like a protector? Wouldn't they only need be stronger? And I (for one) have never chosen a woman based on whether I feel like I could protect her.

Posted: 3/5/2008 4:48:57 PM | I think it’s called tall girl syndrome I have no problem with my height, i have no problem being with people taller than me, they stick out in the crowd.

Posted: 3/5/2008 4:54:38 PM | I love Kates message. Seeing as how i am a guy who is 5'2". Being 5'2" i probably would not be comfortable dating a girl taller than 5'6". I don't mind girls stating that they like tall guys but i do think it is funny when a girl 5'0" to 5'5" states that they will only date tall guys. Watching a short girl and a tall guy together is like watching an oddity at a circus. I guess they don't realize how goofy they look. Give it up for the short guys | |

I would rather date a tall guy in good shape then a short fat and balding man.Oh and Tom cruise is ugly.
Haha that makes me laugh, I'm 5'8 and probably fitter and sexyier than most tall men i see around.
I don't notice too many tall men in the gym on my four visits every week, and i don't meet to many at my Aikido class, I am led to believe there all sat at home watchin tv with there nice lady, eating takeaway and drinking cola, leaving the shallow girls to the dating sites lol 
Personaly, i'd rather date someone who is nice  | |

I think it’s called tall girl syndrome
Actually, it's called "Tall Man Syndrome", also known as "TMS", but contrarily, this profoundly debilitating condition only afflicts a portion of the female population. While the disease in rather contagious in pre-teen girls, and prognosis is somewhat bleak for those already suffering from TMS, there is still hope for a cure. Scientists have recently documented a control group of women who seem to have an natural immunity to TMS, which appears to be passed on to young girls in their formative years, from one or both parents. The best minds in medical science are now studying various treatment modalities, but have higher hopes for a pre-infection vaccine. | |

Posted: 3/6/2008 4:42:29 PM | That' a fable. I can tell you hundreds of short men who are fairly wealthy. I am only 5'5" tall, but I make $175,000 a year. I started in this same firm right after college, along with 20 graduates from 5'3' to 6')). 10 of us were picked starting at the same salary. 6 were between 5'2 and 5'6, the rest were about 5'9" tall. I've been in this firm for 20 years, and am the Executive VP. The rest of the guys did okay too.
Ladies, I'm married to a wonderful lady. She is a bit taller than me, and it sure doesn't make any difference to her or to me. Yes, I know how you feel, but consider the man himself. What is he inside. Will he make a good husband, a good provider. I tell you this, when you're married for about 40 years, happy, then you'll see that height doesn't make a damm bit difference. Incidently, I have 2 assistants. One guy is 6'2" the other is only 5'2", but they both are whizzes.

Posted: 3/6/2008 11:12:49 PM | | I can go along with that answer. I think the heighth preference is misguided by insecurities anyway. Heighth seems to allow, that being just one item, is a way to compensate for the security they possess. I mean, really, I would be lying if I said I did not have some preferences, as it just simply depends on why you have the preferences. | |

Posted: 3/6/2008 11:33:06 PM | | I agree with you on the fact that discrimination is a bit much. The problem only is that after awhile in a long term relationship, those attributes, will become less important and your attractions change in the relationship. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 11:51:33 AM | Height discrimination is a big issue. Almost every state in the country right now has at least one height discrimination lawsuit.
Also, Massachusetts is about to become the first state to protect against height and weight discrimination. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 6:40:13 PM | Hey Chucky, what do they mean by protect against height and weight discrimination?
I want to know how they can protect those that are discriminated on height and weight (Like proving it). Is this strictly in employment? or in general? | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 10:50:49 AM | | I am 5'8 and I have dated a guy who was shorter than me. When we hug he would reach only to my shoulders. It didn't matter. I don't understand if a guy is taller he is supposed to be attractive. Wow. I thought it was about personality. A man who is 6'2 can act jacka** like a man is 5'6. Therefore, it shouldn't matter. | |

So how does being taller make a man more masculine. Saying that just because he is taller he is more masculine is a poor argument.
Why does height alone make a man more attractive? Do larger breasts automatically make a woman more attractive?
Who said that a man is supposed to be taller...Did you learn this on MTV?
Thanks for calling me a child just because I'm shorter than the average male. | |

Thank You for looking beyond outward appearance and dating a man for who he is on the inside. It should be about personality, but as you will see from this forum and others about height is that height is number one to most women. Other than a 6'2" man acting like a jacka**, he is also more likely to cheat based on research. | |

Hey Chucky, what do they mean by protect against height and weight discrimination?
I want to know how they can protect those that are discriminated on height and weight (Like proving it). Is this strictly in employment? or in general?
The Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is considering bill H.3752, sponsored by Byron Rushing, which would make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on height and weight. Jurisdictions in the United States routinely protect citizens from discrimination based on race, color, religion, creed, national origin, sex, and sexual orientation. Yet is it perfectly legal to deny employment, promotion or raises based on a person's height. That discrimination is real. Research shows that short people lose about $800/year per inch of height
Only one other state, Michigan, makes it illegal to discriminate based on person's height or weight. These protections were added to their discrimination laws in 1979. Since then we have seen very little progress. The only other governments that have similar protections are the cities of San Francisco and Santa Cruz. | |

Because men are naturally bigger therefore bigger men are more masculine.
^^^^^^^ Hmmm....false stereotype...prove it ( back it up with objective data ).
As usual you are freaking out and trying to put words in my mouth.Nowhere did i say you are a child.If you are going to quote me ,then quote me correctly.I said it's "LIKE" being with a child "NOT" that short men are children.It :"FEELS" to me like being with a child"NOT"that you are with a child.
^^^^^^^Whatever spin you put on it....it was still insulting to him.
Annikat.....it's fine that you state your preferences or requirements for tall men....that's fine.
But, there is no necessity to state your reasons for your preferences as they come across ridiculous and sometimes insulting.
Just state I prefer men 6ft tall....enough said
You don't have to rationalise your preference. | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 4:40:46 PM | After 28 pages this thread has run its course. Is there really anything anyone canb add at this point that is not rude or argumentative?
It is all about preference people.......... We all have them. How we rationalize them is different from person to person, but we all have preferences. Often times these threads are the first time we ever truly think about our preferences and try to put our rationale into words. For most of us, our preferences have always been there and we have not given them any thought. For most of us our preferences have always been the same or they have evolved as we have aged and matured.
Posting on a thread and arguing about someones rationale is pointless. There is no better example of this than this thread. 28 pages later and I bet despite all of the posts, no one has changed their point of view.
If someone doesn't like me or does not want to date me because I am short, or balding or whatever of their criteria I don't meet, I don't want them........... The person that I want to share my life with wants me for who and what I am......... They don't need to be convinced that I am the one for me.........
Now can we let this thread die?   | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 4:43:04 PM | I broke my rule and went for a date with a shorter guy recently (thought I may have been too selective before) only to be asked if I minded walking in the road whilst he was on the pavement so he looked taller!
I'll stick to my guns and go for the taller guy if you don't mind! (If I ever find any! lol)
