Posted: 3/22/2008 1:27:10 AM | | The shortest guy I have ever dated was 5'11". However, to me there are a lot more important features than height that I consider before dating someone. | |

I don't judge a guy by his height...
I prefer tall men. What is wrong with having preferences???
Hey! thats cool.....people are entitled to their requirements/preferences..
My preference in height for women is 5" up to 5" 9.....but it's not a requirement, if I happend to meet a woman who is shorter or taller than my preference....I would not rule her out..
But, if a woman is not attracted to my height....it wouldn't bother me, as i know physical attraction plays an important part in beginning of a relationship. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:20:08 AM | Why are women who want guys to be taller then them superficial? Lets face it here looks matter . It's the outside that attracts first. This may suck to those who were handed the ugly stick at birth , but that's life. I see no reason why someone is superficial for wanting to be with someone who is attractive in their eyes.
Even the ugliest and the least desirable require some kind of physical attraction in a romantic relationship. This is not superficial this is just the way human have always been and will always be. If this were not so then we would all be with someone already.
People try to get others to believe that what's on the outside doesn't matter when it does. We may not like getting rejected for not being the best looking or the most sought after , but there is nothing we can do about it. Complaining about it just makes us look babyish . We can't all of been blessed with good looks so we have to make do with what we have been given and hope that we can find love anyway.
We are all superficial in our own way and to some degree so let's not try to deny this . Oh and what is tall and what is short i think is rather subjective. For a woman who is 5'1 then 5'8 would be tall to her . Heck even 5'5 would be tall to her. Even i would not consider 5'8 short for a man . It's pretty average i think . | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 4:13:42 AM | | ^^^^ I agree with this totally. So what if a 5'1" girl wants a guy that is 6'. That is what she is attracted to. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 5:11:34 AM | Its all down to preferences at the end of the day, and that is a very common preference. There are some women who buck the trend on this school of thought but there's not too many who do.
I've learned to live with the idea that a man needs to be taller than the woman and I'm not interested in anything long term with any woman who is taller than me, as I know they would eventually run off with someone who is taller.
Shame really, as stockings on long legs really are divine!
Being such a short ass myself, it severely limits my range of potential partners, but have found women who are 2 or even 3 inches taller than me declaring their undying love for me anyways lol I get called pixie boy a lot!

Posted: 3/22/2008 5:41:51 AM | "Wooow...looking at this post made me go "WHHATTT"
except for 'prettytough' here, some of you women are completely out of your mind and which make people out there depressed more when they are find that women out there won't date them just for being 5'5 or below. I mean c'mon, forget what society thinks, be independent and have a mind of your own...one that being non-judgemental."
Hmmmm
Completely out of our mind eh?
So I guess that goes both ways then so the men who don't like BBW's, or don't like women with flat chests are completely out of their minds and are being judgemental also.....Tell all those guys to forget what society thinks too.
You see your logic does not make sense.
We all have preferences, and that does not make one "completely out of your mind" now does it. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 5:42:44 AM | | Well if you purely look at someone height I find that quite amusing. Unfortunately for a lot of people there isn’t too much you can do about the height you currently have. You can do something though about education level and your body weight. I find shorter people who a little bit larger than life really appear to pack it on a little. Myself personally I look at IQ there body and there bust size. Well if were all going to be picky you might as well stipulate your preferences, women appear to do so. Oh yeah by the way I am 5'11 and university educated. I find some women who have completed high school appear to be intimidated by that. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 5:53:42 AM | | I guess this conversation is on the lines that I wont date a woman unless her breasts are a certain size(I am not like that).Then certain people who have been talking about short men stamping their tiny little feet would be left out and be experiencing the same kind of ignorance that she displays. | |

I "prefer" women with big knockers, but you don't see me NOT dating them if they have smaller boobs. 
"Ok we know where these short guys threads stop . With short men stamping their tiny little feet throwing themselves on the ground and demanding that women be attracted to them."
you don't like these threads and yet you keep returning to these threads like a dog returning to its vomit.
Eh, she on here talkin' smack and feels brave enough to do so behind the computer screen (something she wouldn't do at all face-to-face), because she's secure in the fact that she currently has a boyfriend.......at least...for now..... and brags about it on a dating site.
Making fun of the "short men" who can't get a date. | |

Height is a number. Looks requires you to actually "look" at someone. Women reject men based on height as a number (at least on dating sites). I suspect nearly every guy you'd ask would tell you that both tall and short women can "look" hot, and equally no men would equate height with "ugliness". Talk about being superficial, I think you've pretty much covered it. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 7:19:41 AM | Sorry trailviews are you calling me superficial? As i have stated before we are all superficial to some degree even you. And height is also something you see and look at when you are looking at someone. I would not mind if a guy was a couple inches shorter then me , but at 5'8 dating someone who is 5'3 is just not something i am willing to do.
Oh and by the way i was including myself in those who have been handed the ugly stick at birth. It sucks to be ugly . I know because i have first hand knowledge. I am not going to call others names and pout because of it though. It's just a simple fact of life that you learn to live with. | |

If that's the case, then I have a very low degree of superficiality.
I personally am one of those rare people that over look appearances (to a certain extent).
I was at a party one time, and there was this man he was thin, he was remarking to me ( said to me confidentiality) that all the women at this party were '....well...fat.
And, well, I pointed out a woman I specifically and personally found attractive (she was VERY cute, and had a decent figure...not thin, she was average.
He was like , "Nah, man, she's fat".
I thought he was insane at first. But I had a few instances with other male acquaintences of mine where they didn't see eye-to-eye with me one what me and them found attractive.
So I thus concluded, that I am just one of those men who has no problem of being physically attracted to women like other men do.
I find it as not as hard to be NOT physically attracted to a woman. I guess, naturally, I find alot of women attractive. | |

I thought my statement was pretty clear. The online dating equivalent to your story would be that the woman gets a list of the heights of the men *before the party*, decides they're all "ugly" and chooses not to attend. How is that productive? Say she's 4'11" and her requirement was 6' men for her to attend the party. How did she know that Mr. Otherwise Perfect 5'11" who happened to be there was ugly? At least you and your friends looked. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 8:53:24 AM | | I think a lot of people are really superficial and judgmental irrespective of someone's height. When you first meet someone 95% of it will be looks. I have gone out with some of my female friends and asked them if they were attracted to any men within there vicinity (approx over 100 men). They said not really. I turned to them and said but you keep saying I just want a nice man! My ass they do they want good looking man who generally might treat them bad. I told them good looking men get a lot of women and they can be trouble. Same would apply for good looking women. Its like skilled people will get work, plain and simple. The judgments people place on each other don’t just start at height. Then there is career, do you own a house, what education level are you etc. You think the good looking women are going to notice the fat bald accountant in the corner who might have the nicest heart and he is 5'3? Please they don’t go for nice hearts they go for looks first why do think the divorce rate is so high in western countries. | |

There is a difference between weight and height. You can modify your weight. Now, in some cases there are problems such as thyroid disease, etc., which can affect your weight, but in general it is under your control. Height is not. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 2:11:04 PM | | I just want to know...the women that don't date shorter guys because they make them feel like giant's or manly when standing next to them. Do you also have only ugly friends because a pretty friend would make you feel not as pretty when standing next to her? LOL | |

The number of times I have heard women saying that they want a nice man that is tall dark and handsome only to hear about their abusive boyfriend or to go for the ***hole guy cracks me up. Its a wonder to me that anyone could get into a relationship with anyone nowadays. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:02:19 PM | | Yes but really what is tall and what is short is relative little dynomite. To you someone who is 5'5 would seem very tall . Someone shorter then you well i have never heard of a man shorter then that unless he is a little person. To me 5'3 would be very short in a man , but to you that would seem to be a good ideal height . | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:05:08 PM | I'm 5'9, and considered short in my family. Out of six uncles the shortest is 6'4, growing up with that vision of what a man is supposed to be really sets things up for a girl. If a guy is shorter than 6 foot its not going to work. Not that I havent tried in the past cause i have but to be honest i'm sort of disgusted by shorter guys (in a romantic sense.) Also I'm a lacrosse defender and constantly am taking down chicks on the field, i need a man whos big and strong enough to take me down ;-) ya know what im saying.
Oh and no my friends are very pretty but i do know girls who do that sorta thing. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 3:16:42 PM | | im 5 10 and i need a taller man i sometimes wish i could be attracted to shorter guys but to me its weird. when im in heels im over 6 ft tall and feel i cant even talk to guys my height cause my heels make it more weird. if i was shorter i would love a guy 5 7 or so. the shorter men tend to be built up muscle wise more as well. i dont get it ladies if ur little why have such a tall man? what about the tall women ??? are we stuck with the leftovers that the cute petite ladies dont want ???? are we unactractive......??? i think not. i stand tall and proud but i also stand alone.... | |
