| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 3/30/2008 12:49:41 PM |
mate408: How many tall guys want small women? Loads. Coz it makes them feel manly. Small guys want tall women as they want to feel like they can attract them. Power in other words.
A lot of tall guys go for the short gals. That leaves tall women and short guys in an undesirable position, usually in the bed alone at night.
This really pisses me off. I was in a night club once, minding my own business. Along coms a small guy and asks if he can climb me.
Was he Brazilian? "Trepar" means "to climb" but it also means "to shag".
And before you get on your "You don't know it till you tried it" horse, I married a guy at 5'9" and it is not great.
I'm not going to try to convince you to change your mind or your preferences/requirements. I'll be looking for women from non-Anglo countries because they don't seem to care about a guy's height that much.
In short, if you are vertically challenged, don't think that every tall girl is gonna luv ya coz we don't!!
In short? 
Point well taken. That reminds me of that Rob Schneider movie ("Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo") where he's going out with that super-tall Norwegian woman: "That's a huge b****!" | |

There's a term a friend of mine used when referring to rather Amazon-like women, I know it sounds bad, but , "Broadzilla". I chuckle everytime I hear that.
When I get a hug from a guy, I like it to go dark. I like to feel feminine. I like to have someone put their arm AROUND me. I like to put my arm around their waist. Not their neck. I like to smoochy dance knowing that I can breathe in his aftershave, not his hair gel
You're 6'2", I dont think you'll find a man that has the ability to do that. Cept maybe in a Fable. Unfortunately, You're BARELY lucky to find a man equal to that height, and if you do, it won't get dark, because he's just your height anyways.
And before you get on your "You don't know it till you tried it" horse, I married a guy at 5'9" and it is not great.
In short, if you are vertically challenged, don't think that every tall girl is gonna luv ya coz we don't!!
Rather a judgemental thing to say there ,Mate.
Yet you MARRIED a man that's 5'9, hmmmmmmm. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 6:54:28 PM | i havent read every single post in this forum, but man some of this sh1t is hilarious. Some of you are intentionally funny and some of you are spouting nonsense. anyway, i thought i would add a story because it has an unusual height bias included.
a girl i dated at one point was well under 5 feet, very tiny. She said that I was almost too tall (I am 5'10) for her to date. She told me that she had rejected a lot of guys because they were too tall. that alone for her was enough for rejection, no need for getting to know him or anything to do with personality. so shorter guys, maybe, you will want to find excessively short women? lol besides dont act like the first thing you worry about is a girls personality. the first thing is a physical attraction, you find out how compatible you are after some conversation, then the dating happens (or not) .
for most women, height is a deal breaker. EVERYONE has some physical thing that they will find to be a deal breaker whether it is height, thinness/fatness, acne issues, bad teeth, bald head, body hair, skin color, etc. so i dont think it is right to hate on women because they generally prefer taller men. if youre a shorter guy, well, it is going to be harder for you to date, but if have other good things about u, u still have a good chance to find a nice girl. the whole point of dating someone is to have a sexual and emotional chemistry. if you only have an emotional one, you will find that they become your friends. This is why straight guys dont have sex with their male friends, no sexual chemistry, but they are happy to watch a football game or go to a bar and hang out for a few hours. so if a woman feels, " oh he's too small", well shes not going to force herself to physically like you because you have a nice personality, etc. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 8:29:43 PM | Many people get screened out by a significant number of the people they're interested in. Height is one reason. There are many other "single issue" characteristics that men or women may possess that are deal breakers.
Height is a bit different, though, because its so exact. I know some people lie, but those cases aside, if a man is 5-6 he can read lots of profiles here that express a desire for someone different from him. Healthy people tend to give themselves the benefit of the doubt. A guy can genuinely believe that 30 pounds overweight is a few, and not think much about it. He can be nasty or dull, but focus on the few positive responses he's gotten from people, and believe that he's nice or funny, or whatever. But if he's
5-6 he can't imagine that he's taller than that. He can claim that he's taller, but he knows better in a way that the overweight or unfunny guy really doesn't have to face. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 9:04:49 PM | "I believe, even if we're talking about Neanderthal or modern day man, woman are still attracted to a strong man, one who is a good "hunter", one who is confident, attentive and caring. I would imagine even in prehistoric times, a woman still looked for those traits in a man that "she" found attractive or important to her whether it was for protection, a good helpmate, or one who simply tripped her prehistoric trigger. "
Please don't tell me that these qualities are only limited to tall men. A short man can't be strong? confident? attentive? caring? a "good hunter" (Simo Hayha "white death" is the greatest sniper of all time he was only 5'3'') That's fine if you don't find short men attractive but please don't rationlize it with bigotry. The whole caveman beating his chest and dragging his female by her hair is not in style anymore. This whole "it's natural because our ancesters" etc. arguement is also bull.
Size means jack in the modern world. When it comes to protection. A bullet doesn't care how tall you are neither does a bat, or a knife.
I can see it now a woman confronts an armed attacker "my tall boyfriend is gonna kick your ass!"

Thank you for allowing your true colors to shine through on here. I think the cruelty of your statement will be...Well I better stop there before saying something mean. | |

| Waaa waaa people have opinions and speak out against bigotry!
Posted: 3/30/2008 11:33:51 PM | "Yeah i suppose so but why settle for some short guy when you can get all those great qualities in a nice tall manly hunk . Why settle for hamburger when you can have filet Mignon."
It's not about "settling" for anything. From what I gather from your posts you're basically saying shorter men are inferior to tall men which is a rather flawed ideology that clearly borders on bigotry. I don't see how terrorist and mass murderer Osama bin laden (6'6'') is any more "superior" or dateworthy then peace and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. (5'7'') or Adolf Hitler being more dateworthy then Winston Churchill because he's 3 inches taller then him (who won the war by the way?) The Average Vietcong soldier was 7 inches shorter then the average American Soldier yet who got driven out of Vietnam? You don't find us attractive? fine, but Enough with the Nazi crap.
Futhermore, you can't assume that every tall man will have all these qualities he won't would you take a tall wuss who was as weak as a butterfly and scared of his own shadow over a short strong man?
"Face it sweetie short men are at a disadvantage . You always have been and always will be . A person can lose weight to become more attractive to a larger majority of people , but there is not a single thing a short man can do. Wow that sucks. "
Yes short men are at a disadvantage.. but so are ignoramuses *cough* not refering to anyone in particular .but it's not like they can't do ANYTHING short men can make lots of money (money beats height every time just ask any tall guy) Besides there are many women on POF who have defended short men (I gather you are selectively ignoring those posts) besides shallow women are at a disadvatage to by rejecting any man under X height she's rejected a good half of the male population reducing her chances of ever finding someone by that much more hence why you see so many "I don't date men under X height" on POF who are in their 40s and still single. That with a 50% divorce rate what can I say? finding a tall man is no guarantee of bliss just look at the numbers. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 11:58:40 PM | I think it's sexist how women have media telling women with problems like fatness, being ugly and just plain undesirable, that they are beautiful, yet there is no such things like that for men.
So be quiet when I say I prefer thin woman, it's just my preference. And I can be ignorant like that because I am worth it!! Wait! I'm not ignorant, I'm outspoken and opinionated!!
"I don't see how terrorist and mass murderer Osama bin laden (6'6'') is any more "superior" or dateworthy then peace and civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. (5'7'') or Adolf Hitler being more dateworthy then Winston Churchill because he's 3 inches taller then him"
Annikat would boink osama and adolf over the good guys because she knows she would get a good spanking from them, And she knows she would have to watch her step with them or else, just like daddy, right anni? of course I'm right. that's why they are superior. | |

My father had money and we were never happier as when my parents divorced and we moved in with my grandmother. I had it when I was married, but life has been so much better since my divorce. I'm not impressed with money or things.... show me your heart, your soul... someone who won't lie or cheat... that's what turns me on.

Well, annikat is quite hot-looking and can afford to have the preferences she does. I took a look at her profile and she's Canadian, so women preferring tall guys isn't just a USA thing; it seems to be a North American thing all around.
However, I wouldn't go so far as to say that there's not a single thing a short man can do. First, he can totally overlook shallow North American women and start looking for foreign women, either those in his country who live in big cities or abroad in Eastern Europe, Asia, and Latin America. I dare the average American guy to take a week off work and go on a 'single gentlemen's tour' to a Latin American city. No need to look for a girlfriend or wife. Just go and hang out with about a dozen or so of other American guys and meet and date about a dozen Latin ladies (out of the 100 or so who show up) with an interpreter around to facilitate communication. You will have so much fun and receive so much better treatment from these ladies that you'll never look at North American women the same ever again.
Sure, not all North American women are shallow, but the ones who are not tend to be well into their 40s and 50s (middle to old age). I'm 36 and my personal age range is 27 to 41. If you're a guy in his 40s or 50s, there are decent North American women who are in your age group. | |

I think this is taking it too far. It is probably easier for short men to find women amongst a European population than in North America because of the culture difference. BUT, there are women in the United States who are not height obsessed and who are in your age range. The key is to not rule out women based on arbitrary things as they do. | |

I have been to these countries you talk about the they are in desperate poverty and if they have to pretend to actually love and be attracted to an ugly American man until they can get their own citizenship then it's worth it to them.
That's why it's always good to have a failsafe and have the INS on speed dial once she pulls something, even POST marraige, you can have the INS deport her at the first sign of trouble.
Of course, I wouldn't go through all that hassle. bleh. | |

annikat: Don't ever fool yourself into thinking any of these women actually want you honey. The only thing these women want is citizenship. You are a means to achieve that and nothing more. They have become great actors in order to make these ugly American men think they are wanted and desirable because they are fully aware that the women in their own countries don't want them. They are using the fact that you are undesirable in your own country against you. It's sad how you dont' see how badly you are being played.
Well, women like you don't want guys like me, so what would I have to lose? I had a Brazilian girlfriend who wasn't desperate to leave her country. We broke up and stayed friends for a long time. She said that after the breakup she wrote to other foreign guys who wanted her to live in their country. Last time I talked to her she seemed to be going for only Brazilian guys.
I have been to these countries you talk about the they are in desperate poverty and if they have to pretend to actually love and be attracted to an ugly American man until they can get their own citizenship then it's worth it to them.
Yeah, well, I've been to those countries too. Constant 80-degree Fahrenheit weather and most people don't have an air conditioner or central cooling and heat. One of these days I plan to move to Latin America and buy a house there. And then the argument about the girl who 'settles' for me so she could live in the States will be invalid. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 3:57:03 PM | "But of course it is . As i said why settle for hamburger when you can have filet Mignon."
Men aren't hamburgers and you're not that clever.
"Inferior no. Less attractive certainly."
Less attractive to YOU and why not just say that and be done with it? instead you got into several paragraph tirades on everything that's wrong with short men.
"Nor will every short man which is the propaganda short men would have us believe"
What are you even talking about? the only propaganda being promoted regarding short men is almost always negative. That NO short man has these qualities and every tall man does.
"Uhh honey why would i care about yours or any mans money ugly and short or tall and handsome ? Thanks to my grandparents i have more money then you will ever see even if you live several lifetimes."
 and that is suppose to impress me? Provided that's even true! Whatever you say Paris!
"Why would i care what some women do or don't do, say or don't say or feel or don't feel. Besides as i am sure you have read most women want a man to at the very least have a man as tall as they are , but would much prefer if he were taller then her."
Stop acting like you speak for all women you don't.
" am completely sure that the great majority of those men getting divorced are average to below average in height so i guess going for a short guy is not the answer to not getting divorced. "
You are completely sure? that they were all below average to average height? Where is your reasoning behind that? Where is your evidence? Taller men are more likely to divorce why it's simple they're more likely to cheat (more options) Any group of men who have an easier time getting women is more likely to treat them like crap. because these women can easily be replaced. A shorter man has a better chance of his relationship being genuine because the woman he's with actually likes him for who he is instead of being fixated with superficial qualities or some fictional representation of what a man should be.
"Thanks but i will take the gamble of marriage on a man i am actually attracted to who is tall , rugged and manly instead of a short , wimpy shrimp."
Ahh name calling... Typical...
"Little hands.....little feet..... "cough"... need I say more!! lmfaooo"
Little what?...penis? I'll say the same thing I say to every woman who says something along the lines of that.
How many short men have you f*cked to confirm that theory?
Don't ever fool yourself into thinking any of these women actually want you honey. The only thing these women want is citizenship. You are a means to achieve that and nothing more.

They are using the fact that you are undesirable in your own country against you. It's sad how you dont' see how badly you are being played."
Like he said, women in his own country don't want him either. so what differnce does it make? and plenty of men (of all heights) seek women from abroad. It's more common then you think. and they're plenty of women in his own country who will play him. so like I said before it makes no difference atleast these women don't care about his height.

Posted: 3/31/2008 4:16:03 PM | Zain she very clearly said "MOST" not all . Anyway most of us , "NOT ALL OF US", want a man to be at the very least our own height. However i think you will find it a very rare thing for a woman to deliberately search out men who are shorter then we are. While i don't mind an inch or two shorter it's still not ideal for me. I would at least ask for 5'8 which is my own height.
On the other hand i don't think i would much like to date a guy who is 6'6 . That would actually be too tall. So does that make me discriminatory against really tall men? Maybe, but there is such a thing as too short and too tall for each of us. | |

This isn't about that.
Did you miss the part where she resorts to name childish calling? where she uses ad hominem attacks? Either way, It is futile to have a debate with her without allowing things to get personal. (she's clearly not emotionally mature enough to not resort to personal attacks)
I'm gonna stop feeding the troll. | |

Steven Seagal may be 6'4", but the founder (Morihei Ueshiba) of his style (Aikido) was 4'11", a foot and a half shorter than Mr. Seagal. And then Bruce Lee was 5'7" or 5'8". The founder of his base style (Wing Chun) was a woman. And like my older brother (who's 6'1") always said: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
I think somehow women have a secret fear that if they date a short to average-height man that they will be more attractive targets for hoodlums and other bad guys. | |

But it is about that. I only pointed out that she said most not all . Anyway i am soooo not interested in fighting her battles for her. I gave my opinion on the subject so of course it's about what i said. For me shorter then me would not be ideal and much taller would not be ideal either. | |

am completely sure that the great majority of those men getting divorced are average in height
I think you'll find the great majority of anything doing anything is average in many ways. The concepts of 'majority' and 'average' tend to follow each other.
The majority of people getting married are average height.
The majority of people having affairs are average weight.
The majority of workers earn an average wage.
The majority of fish in the sea are average sized.
The majority of water is averagely wet. | |

I met a younger stocky muscular guy 5ft 5in. Very handsome and has showed me he has alot to offer a woman in many different ways. I must say, my view on dating smaller men has totally changed. He is all that and a bag of chips with soda | |
