Stick your hand up your jacket, lol/
Hmm. Make sure that you advertise your good points. Don't let peeps overlook you because of your height. Make sure they know what your strong points are. Takes more effort, sorry. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 3:53:37 AM | I am only short at 5 feet 2, however I will not consider dating any guy less than five feet ten...
My reason - I have tall children (between 5 feet 8 and up to 6 feet 3) and it kinda feels weird to hug a man that is shorter than my own daughter; to me it would feel like I am hugging another kid. Whereas a tall guy makes me feel like i am hugging a grown-up person. | |

"I don't actually find I have a thing to be ashamed of being Only 5-9 remember women are the haters at the end of the day, coming on this has made me realise how much they do not respect people, this is why I class them as shit, they cannot see past a height for f'ucking hell sake, they certainly are not perfect and are not better than any man. Women automatically hate me, before they know me, this is why they are nothing. All they do day in day out is try boost themselfs up by bringing people down "
I am not being flippant when I say, you need a hug, so here: 
All women don't belittle others to elevate themselves. Some humans (men and women) do that yes, but not all. Keep the faith. Your Ms. Right will swim into your pond sooner or later. However, if you tell her all women are shit, as you say, she will indeed, swim away. | |

That's a really stupid reason. Sorry, there's no other word for it. And yes, you have every right to your opinion, but others have every right to consider you shallow. What makes a person a grown-up is maturity, responsibility and temperament. One inch of height doesn't turn a man into a boy.
Attitudes like this make me wish I'd signed up with the Jesuits. Of course, I'd have to become Catholic first.
Personal growth: Try it!

Where's my hug? In a previous post of mine I said that frying foods came from West Africa and just today I got an e-mail from Ms. *loislane* about how "worthless" I am because I'm from Texas. It's OK to educate, but the e-mail I got was a diatribe of hate. I did agree with her on one thing. I'll be glad when Bush Junior leaves the White House. I voted against Shrub (son of a Bush) in 2000 and 2004 and against his dad in 1992. In the primaries this year I voted for Barack Obama. I couldn't vote for your Senator, Hillary Clinton, because she has gone along with the Bush agenda all these years.
Just because I'm from Texas doesn't mean I'm an ignorant hick. Just because you're from NYC doesn't mean you're a high-maintenance princess, *loislane*. Years ago I had an Italian-American stepdad from New York who was a womanizer, kleptomaniac, and a drunkard. Am I going to say all Italian-American men are that way? No, I will not. One of my good friends is Italian-American and he's not like that. I went ahead and blocked *loislane* (you see, guys can block too!) because she could have approached me in a friendlier way instead of all the hate-filled "diatribe" she threw at me, so when she says "All women don't belittle others to elevate themselves," that doesn't mean she doesn't belittle or berate others herself, and she seems to think all (white) Texans are ignorant hicks who voted for Bush Junior. If *loislane* is the typical NYC "broad" (and I believe she is), then I won't be surprised to see her post something in retaliation.
Back to the topic at hand, just because a guy is tall doesn't mean he's automatically a good choice. I have someone near and dear to me who's 6'1". He's tall, but he can't keep a job. Therefore, he lives with parents most of the time and does nothing but eat, sleep, and play videogames. I, on the other hand, have done all right in Corporate America because years ago I saw the value of learning foreign languages, especially Spanish and Portuguese. I've visited several Latin American countries, including Brazil. I'm not tall, so my height (5'7", 170 cm for the rest of the world) turns off a lot of American women, but somehow it doesn't turn off Latinas (women from Latin America), Asian, or Eastern European women, even the ones I met living in this country. I suppose they see more worth in a male than how tall he is or how much money he makes. nomarriage[dot]com. So guys, if an American woman doesn't give you the time of day (or night) because you're height-challenged, then go spend a day in divorce court and watch these tall guys get @$$-raped by their ex-wives. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 8:29:06 AM | Man, 5'2" , women the size of hobbits won't date guys 5'8"
I thought the "rule of thumb" here was, that it's cool with a woman, as long as HE's taller than SHE is.
I mean, isn't being TALLER than you, good enough?
I can understand if it's some 5'10" woman not wanting ot date a 5'8" man, but if you're a short chick, that's just lame. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 8:54:36 AM | | It is pretty lame, but usually the shorter girls who state the requirement of dating a taller man (like a whole foot taller or greater then 5 in.) have height insecurities themselves. | |

You are lying. I did not say you were worthless at all. I would never say that to anyone. Or anything like it. I said I wasn't surprised you were from Texas. Then I went on to explain how African cuisine and related cuisines, ie, Afro-Indian weren't based on fried foods, which in your earlier post you ignorantly claimed that America's obesity problems stem from the fact that slaves cooked the meals.
NEED I SAY MORE? NO.
My postscript read, 'I can't wait for Bush to be out of the WH.' Clearly, many Americans feel the same way.  That was the extent of what I said in that regard.
I would post the content here but something happened to the message and it's not in my sent folder, which is quite strange as I don't clean out my sent folder often and the messages I sent before and after the one I sent to you are still there. Hmmm?
The mere fact you would LIE about a rather polite, yet, pointed email, shows you are not ready for mature discourse and I have not read and will not read the remainder of your message. Plainly, what you have to say is no longer of any value to me.
Furthermore, I took up my issue with you in a PM, your retort should have been the same. Yet, your simpleton social mores motivates you to attempt to flame me on a message board. You are uncouth.

This is disgusting.
Just my personal opinion, so save the flames.

Posted: 4/10/2008 12:43:32 PM | So then doesn't the guy who is even 5'10' who is even shorter then your son, should then logically make him inadequate because you would feel like he was shorter then one of your children?
Then by token of logic, you would need a man who was at least 6 feet 4 because then he would be 'grown up' in your little world, because hey thats least an inch taller then your son.
Is anybody else getting that this is all based on a frame of mind, and nothing else? | |

This person is entitled to their opinion, but this is one of the dumbest reasons I have read for not dating a shorter man right up there with short men have "Napoleon Complex", taller men can "protect" a woman better, taller men have better genes, taller men make a woman feel more "feminine" etc. | |

She's 5'2" and she has kids 6'3", therefore the dad must be tall, at least 6'3". She chose the tall guy before and now that she has tall kids, she's using them as an excuse to choose tall again. Her tall guy can't have been all that good, she didn't stay with him (or perhaps he didn't stay with her). | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 6:04:35 PM | | I feel glad that there are women out there (Not much, but at least I know they do exist) that don't need to have a taller partner to validate her femininity/security and social status because if there weren't, I might as well become a monk. | |

Posted: 4/10/2008 7:29:10 PM | | My gosh, you know someone made a REAL heightist and bigoted remark when people who aren't even short are find it repulsive. but I guesss JD is right no point in triggering a flame war. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 12:15:32 AM | Beats me! I'm not picky about height, and I'm the one not dating...Guess the Arte Johnson syndrome still exists...{for non 'Boomers, he was {is?} a short comedian married to a taller German lady.} Guess I need to read up on these things{dating, etc...}????
I have liked men of various heights, it never was a factor. I go for the old reliables such as personality, good heart{kind], someone who likes animals, etc. And if he turns out to be a racist or have other hate issues, its definitely a deal breaker....I am sorry other people here have had bad experiences, but if I let some of the bad apples I've met on past dates influence me, I'd be worse off than I am now....It is not an easy lesson to learn, but it seems to be part of life and dating. I'm a late bloomer, and I'm learning things at 40+ most people learned in their teens or twenties... | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 1:07:01 AM | ^^^^^ Well, if I do say so myself, if you are learning things, don't pick up the bad habits of some of the folks 'round here. You seem to know what you want and that's what's important. 
PS: Everyone has their reasons...however, that lady with the kid issue does seem to be a weird one. LOL, at the Ice-Ey9...who pointed out her ideal is still shorter than her tallest child. Poked a hole right through that one!  Maybe she's not being truthful as she feared the truth would make her look shallow. 
UGMAN: No worries, no worries! You're not trying for her an-y-way!  | |

this is why I class them as shit, they cannot see past a height for f'ucking hell sake, they certainly are not perfect and are not better than any man. Women automatically hate me, before they know me, this is why they are nothing.
I'm not a bit surprised women hate you....they're responding to YOUR attitude that they are worthless. Tell me this...if the woman of your dreams showed up and was interested in you.....would you tell her right off the bat that she IS a woman, and therefore you class her as "shit"? I think not. So what YOU are REALLY saying is that for some reason (I can imagine why, with the lovely attitude that you have.....DUH!!) the women that you have encountered are uninterested in you, therefore perpetuating your erronious theory that ALL women are worthless trash, simply because they are uninterested in YOU. | |

^^^^^^ Huh?....you are 5ft 2.......so your daughter i gather is 5ft 8.
So hugging a man who is say 5ft 7.....would be like hugging a child even though he is 5 inches taller than you...
* twilight zone music plays *
doesn't make much sense hun....lol | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 5:16:55 AM | The most passionate lover I ever had was 1 inch shorter than I am. I am 5'6". He treated me like a queen, was TOTALLY turned on to me...and MAY have ruin me for other men as far as attention goes. At the time I was a HUGE woman, and my body type is what turned him on. I'm not huge anymore, and he's not attracted to me anymore...he loves me as a person, but now I just don't float his boat...But I have the experience that EVERY woman of ANY size should have...that of FEELING completely adored physically.
I consider myself among a very small group of very lucky women. Now that I'm a more normal size, I wouldn't hesitate dating a shorter man. But I do have my limits as well. I have seen some VERY short 5'2" men at the gym who look like nice little packages....but I have to admit, unless they pursued me with VIGOR, this my first guy did...I probably wouldn't pursue them either. AND I have to admit, I do like the feeling of big arms around me when we're standing up.

No, but it (being "worthless") was implied, at least that's how I saw it. In the South a lot of foods are fried. I was watching the Travel Channel the other night and they said that fried chicken may have come from Scotland. Maybe I need to do more research on that. Still, I'm pretty sure that Southern food was influenced by the Africans who were brought here (against their will), in one way or another.

"Polite" e-mail? You said you weren't surprised I was from Texas. How is that polite? Basically, you were inferring that Texans are a bunch of ignorant, Bush-loving hicks. And calling me a "simpleton" and "uncouth" is not exactly "polite" either. In an earlier post you said that not all women belittle others, but your post just goes to show that you're not one of the ones who don't (belittle others). And really, I don't appreciate getting belligerent messages in my inbox.
Nowadays there are so many laws against discrimination. There are even laws coming out which are against height discrimination in the workplace. However, laws against discrimination in dating probably won't happen. Can you imagine there being laws which require people who date to give equal time to people they don't find attractive as well as to the ones they do find attractive. Ain't gonna happen! | |
