short guys are whiny, always ready to fight to prove what big men they are, and if a woman is not attracted to a short guy, get a different woman. we cant all be attracted to the same type, geeze, cut the insults get over it.
I have never once complained about being short only that the majority of people think like you that we are whiners ( one thing that I am not). I also do not pick fights with anyone unless they have it coming to them. this is not to make my self seem big, just that I do not take crap from people who start crap. I was born with the gift off gab, I try to talk my way out of it if at all possible.
My problem is not looking for women that except me at my stature, but finding them. Most women would want that cookie cutter Ken doll type of male that is Tall. Actully most women are unfortunatly attracted to the Archatypal/stereotypical male. Not all men are Giants. I have never once lashed out or whined. I jst find it sad that by virtue of my parents being short, that my dating pool is smaller than need be. Most women arent 4'11" and under, and I do not find them all that attractive; besides even a 4'11" woman wants a 6' or better specimin to make herself feel safe and girly. | |

short guys are [...] always ready to fight to prove what big men they are
Science had shown that taller men are more physically aggressive, but I suspect you'll believe whatever stereotypes you choose to. | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 7:53:09 AM | Awesome thread.
Yeah from the responses I can definately say this forum's demographic certainly favours taller men. Have to say tho Tall women + heels = Big Win!
Also evolution is certainly favouring taller people. I believe we are 1 ft taller since the 1800's so 5ft used to be quite tall.
Anyway women have been wearing wonder bras for years time for us shorties to get some of our own back. hahah http://www.increasingshoes.com/ <--- im so getting some | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 8:13:52 AM | Shortness eh? Well it all depends upon where they're are short! Also do you like midgets - they need love too!
Actually I think your post is pretty inane. If you want to date short guys, why should we care or have an opinion, and if we do, why do you care? Are you uncomfortable being seen with shorties?
I remember a british actor who dated Susan Anton (very hot), and I always thought they looked goofy together. Also remember Tattoo on Fantasy Island? He dated a lot of hot tall women. Very weird but money and fame can make up for a lot of short comings (LOL)!
I believe most women prefer tall men due to the role men play (or are supposed to play) in a relationship as a leader, provider, protector, & teacher. Somehow some midget or short guy doesn't quite seem to fit at least conceptually.

Fair enough :). Seems like a legit answer.
Most women would want that cookie cutter Ken doll type of male that is Tall. Actually most women are unfortunately attracted to the Archetypal/stereotypical male. Not all men are Giants. [...] I just find it sad that by virtue of my parents being short, that my dating pool is smaller than need be. Most women aren't 4'11" and under, and I do not find them all that attractive; besides even a 4'11" woman wants a 6' or better specimen to make herself feel safe and girly.
I know what you mean about a short gene pool. Unfortunately 5'4" mother + 5'8" father yields 5'7" son. *sigh*
As for the rest of the conjecture provided, is that based off something you've gathered from talking to women, or is that an assumption based off other data, i.e. media generated images of what society *should* be, not necessary what they are? | |

Posted: 3/19/2008 7:03:10 PM | I believe that people who put other people down for whatever reason have their own insecurities.
About the security issue, in American society if someone attacks you they can be jailed or sued. Even if the attackee attacks back and seriously hurts the attacker, he can be jailed or sued. Of course, I believe in fighting back if attacked and I have done just that. Steven Seagal is a big man at 6'4", but the founder of his main style (Aikido) was a short Japanese man (Morihei Ueshibi) who wasn't even 5'0" tall, which was the minimum requirement for joining the Japanese military. And yet if he were still alive, he'd throw Stevel Seagal around as the latter does in his movies. Bruce Lee wasn't that tall. He was about 5'7" or 5'8". His main style (Wing Chun: of course, he founded Jeet Kune Do later) was founded by a woman and Wing Chun is ideal for short guys who don't have a lot of muscle mass.
Seriously, though, a woman who is insecure about protecting herself should consider taking martial arts lessons. She will meet a lot of men since those classes tend to be male-dominated and attain/maintain a good fitness level. | |

I think that you're right. Women prefer the appearance of being with a provider/protector, even if it's not literally so.
But, good things do come in small packages, and I'm reminded that the second true love of my life was 5'5" (I'm 5'8"). I have no insecurities about being involved with a shorter man. It's usually the guy who seems to have issues with it. I have gone on a couple of first-and-last dates with men who had misrepresented their height in online profiles, and who seemed embarrassed that I stood eye-to-eye with them. I guess they expected to grow a little before our meeting  . | |

My thing is "Why lie?" Once I meet up with a girl she's going to know if I was telling the truth about my height or not. On the other hand, not a lot of girls want to go out with a guy who's under 5'10", so I do understand why a lot of guys lie about their height. | |

Not true at all. It's the women who have trouble. Short men are used to looking up at everybody. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 3:32:02 PM | I went out with a crowd on night two of the guys were well over 6', they had started bumping this guys chair on purpose, well he told them to stop a few times, next thing I knew this guy jumps up puts one guy in a head lock, kicks the other guy in the face, he never got back up and rotates around and puts the head locked guy in a choke hold and he is down and out in about 4 seconds, so much for feeling secure with the big boys, this guy was maybe 5'6". I actually smiled and giggled those two clowns got what they deserved.
After they came to their senses one guy asked how many were there, then we all laughed at them. | |

No not from media but from women I know and from what women say here. read the other posts aout short men ( there are more than this thread) and tou will see a pattern develop. Media does play a role too I am sure, I know that you would love it if I posted a URL's to prove this...The reason I did not post any is simply go to magazine racks or watch tv. You will see more than enough info if look closely.\

Posted: 3/20/2008 4:35:59 PM | | It has nothing to do with assertiveness or success. I prefer the way a tall man looks - physically. We all have preferences. I prefer tall men. What is wrong with having preferences??? | |

See we can protect ourselves and others when protection is needed! | |

There is nothing wrong with preferences, but what if those preferences cause you to miss out on someone special? | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 8:19:00 PM | Though I rarely read threads on this subject anymore, and this is the first post to one, in over a year. A lapse in judgment resulted in stumbling across this mess, to which I had to respond.
why should we care or have an opinion,Are you uncomfortable being seen with shorties?
Beats me, I gave up trying to think of a good reason for responding on this topic a while ago. But you managed to without a good reason anyway.
I always thought they looked goofy
Funny, I was thinking the same about you.
Well it all depends upon where they're are short!
Especially when the opinions confirm its between the ears.
But to be fair one statement is true.
midgets - they need love too!
.
the role men play (or are supposed to play) in a relationship as a leader, provider, protector, & teacher. Somehow some midget or short guy doesn't quite seem to fit at least conceptually.
So what do they do in your little world, join the circus, live on welfare, pray they make the casting call for the fantasy island remake? Sounds like you're living there.
If I may take the role as teacher even if it doesn't conceptually fit with you, I believe they manage to fill all the roles listed, likely far better than you. And it wouldn't surprise me if the majority of shorter guys thought of as being the aggressor, were seen that way while trying to deal with someone with an attitude like yours.
For someone calling himself eagle, what I hear sounds more like a turkey. | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 10:54:56 PM | I see that this has been running for a very long time. As such, I gave up reading beyond first posts and last.
If it hasn't already been stated...where are all of these guys who don't mind being shorter in stature than their partner beside them?
Height has never been a prerequisite for me...I figure if you have a connection with someone, that is most important. That connection will see you through the tough times, like a serious car accident ( they happen every day! ), where one person may end up in a wheelchair. Whose taller then???
That being said, I am tired of meeting guys that are attracted to all of my 6', thin frame, then really deciding that they need someone smaller beside them to feel better about themselves. Like the women on here stating preferences of feeling "taken care of", I think some men feel that they need someone smaller than they are to feel like they can take care of her.
I have dated men both taller and shorter...and still looking for the personality not the height | |

Posted: 3/21/2008 5:13:25 AM | While women might like tall guys I find I usually find shorter women more attractive.
Tall women can often look masculine with big faces and features.
I have yet to have good sex with taller women ?
Bigger woman bigger hole ? | |
