What I do not understand is a woman 4'11 or less only wanting to date a guy 6'0" or better?

Better?

Sorry--I am the woman--and I have many female friends and we get it ALL the time-thats been my experience. I have been told to my face I am beautiful and If I promise to lose ten pounds that he would date me--makes me crazy--but very true--That is the number 1 questions I get asked when guys e-mail me--followed closely by my breast size. Trust me--you are not getting e-mails from the guys

Are you serious? You think that most men would refuse to date a woman who is 10 pounds overweight? Not likely. In fact, most men are quite reasonable in their preferences as far as weight.

I've checked out of curiosity (and no, I'm not gay). I couldn't find one guy with a concrete weight requirement, but about 50% of women have a concrete height requirement. And often times, that height requirement is as tall as or even taller than average height.

I doubt most men have weight requirements that rule out the majority of women, though women often have height requirements that rule out the majority of men. And even if some men did have weight requirements; those women who were not in the range could always just lose weight. It's not the same thing at all.

yes I meant taller but better is a coloquialism Johnathan Doeman if yyou did not know . Better describes the higher attribute number on a statistics chart 9i.e. Better in this case means taller).

No I did not answer my own question. Infact I was agreeing with you and then you turn around and stab me in the back. ***hole.

So we see a short man and assume that he is inferior. If he out preforms our expectations, we do not abandon our long-held beliefs that shorter people are inadequate. Instead, we filter that information and couch it in terms of the shorter man having some sort of character defect. A "Napoleon Complex".

Thus, a stereotype is born.

I agree with you about the size preference of most men. One night I had a friend over who is about 30 overweight. She was looking through all the personals and every single one she opened wanted "slim, athletic, thin, average." That leaves out most American women because I think the average woman in this country is now a size 14.

"In the 1960s and 1970s, Thomas Gregor, an anthropologist at America's Vanderbilt University, lived among the Mehinaku, a tropical forest people of central Brazil who were amazed by such new-fangled gadgets as spectacles....By many measures--wealth, chieftainship, frequency of participation in rituals--tall men dominate in tribal life. They hog the reproductive opportunities, too. Mr Gregor looked at the number of girlfriends of Mehi-naku men of varying heights. He found a pattern: the taller the man, the more girl-friends he had. As he explained, "the three tallest men had as many affairs as the seven shortest men, even though their average estimated ages were identical."

It's sort of like saying that. But the only difference is that men and women are designed differently. Men are designed to spread their seed and women are designed to partner with the man who she thinks is best able to provide her with resources and advantageous genes for her offspring. It is in the evolutionary interest of a woman to stay with a "superior" (however you define that) male, even if he cheats on her. But it is in the male's evolutionary interest to want to impregnate as many women as possible (so his genes will be spread). Therefore, a man is generally only as faithful as his options.

Are there "moral" men whom this rule doesn't apply? Of course, but these men are both short and tall, and so that's a moot point. Because short men and tall men are no more "moral" than one another, but tall men have approximatly 7 times more opportunities to cheat for every short man opportunity....tall men are more likley to cheat.

Do you get it now?

Maybe many men do prefer women who are thin, fit, or average, but there are also plenty of men who would date overweight women. Some men have rejected me because I was "too thin" for them and they wanted a larger woman. I have a friend who is about 10-20 lbs overweight she gets plenty of attention from men. I have seen a fair amount of couples where the woman is overweight.

One, this was done over 30 years ago and way out dated. Two your trying to apply one's cultural to a totally different cultural. Last I check females in the US in general did not accept socially males with multiple partners. The only group that does is hardcore Latter-day Saint population in Utah. But if you check the laws of marriage, most states make it illegal to be married to more than one female at a time.

I am full aware of this, but the same applies to women as well. As they want to give birth to the most "superior" child as possible so they have their own incentive to sleep with as many males as possible. As women can pump out way more than one baby in her life time. And seeing that females can give birth as early as 11 years old, and don't stop until they are in their 40's, that is a lot of time to pump out babies and to find the most "superior" set of genes as possible from the male side.

Where are you getting this 7 from? And I still don't get why you think tall men are more likely to cheat. Yes tall men are more desired and wanted by most women. I think we got that by now. But things like morals and the type of partner you have, and even economic conditions take part if the guy is going to cheat or not. Another thing if you look at stats for the cheating numbers for each sex. The stats for the males has basically stayed the same and/or gone down some (depending on how you look at it), while the stats for females has gone up quiet noticeably ever since they started to fight for equality between the sexes. I believe right now the stats for both are basically even in todays society.

What you said mskes little sence but I do know what you mean.

I assume that you mean that one should be picky basewd upon the requirments of how one treats others, how one cares for them selves and how one looks? A person should be less than picky when it comes to some "opreferences" as you are limiting your opportunities to meet a quality individual that meets youe "requirements".

The propaganda that you short guys spout on the 10 million short guy threads that start up here every hour . That all short guys are good guys and all tall guys are evil b@st@rds.

Anyone can get a blonde too, they're just McDonald's French Fries. They come in cute tiny packaging, and they smell and look great. But sometimes you'll find that soggy French fry thats too salty that tastes awful. Although desired and wanted by most, French fries aren't rare, as there are thousands of potato crops growing more every day.

(By short I mean 5' 7" - 5' 9" ...since there are 3 specific guys I'm thinking of.)

There is a form of surgery which will stretch the lower leg bones over the course of a year. That procedure was created in Russia and used a lot in China. Someone posting on another topic said the procedure was even available here. The drawbacks: it's invasive and you have to be laid out for a year.

5'8"? You're lucky. Here the requirement is at least 5'10".

Most women want tall guys because they are so insecure about themselves that they need the trophy guys to make them feel proud about themselves, just like make up, fake nails, hair, boobs, asses, and all the other things they do.
