Please come with me to my next high school reunion. I'm not making this statement up. It's a "tribal" thing. Down in Cinti they are mostly German and English. | |

| Ladies: your take on short guys?
Posted: 5/13/2008 11:02:21 PM | I'm a short guy 5'4". My biggest issue is that my preference in women, 5'7" or shorter, want a guy 5'8" or taller. It always makes me laugh when a 4'10" woman won't date a guy shorter than 5'8". Yes, at least 10 inches taller folks. That's just the starting point, they WOULD date a guy up to 6'5". The guy is going to have back issues in the future with that much of a height differential. I guess some women just like to spin!
My problem is getting past the first email and the initial reaction to my height. Other than that, I have a great personality, stay healthy, workout to keep a tone body, dress well, and have a fantastic job. I've made the most with what was given to me.
Yes, for most women, height is the most important trait. It's the first thing they look at and the first thing they filter by. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't annoying.
Just to change topics a bit, how about the overweight women who wine that no woman could ever live up to the standards of beauty that magazines have put into guys heads. Yeah ladies.. right. Try exercising and eating healthy. Something you can change, but most refuse to. I can't change my height without excruciatingly (sp) painful surgery that probably costs more than 5 years salary.... nah, I think I'll just find a woman who is open to short guys ;)
Trust me guys, if women stayed the same size, but the average size of man increased to 5'9"... the majority of girls would set 5'9" to their limit. It's average ladies... meaning many guys are shorter and many guys are taller. | |

Posted: 5/13/2008 11:04:17 PM | Oh, and I don't count heels as height. If you're 5'4" and you're wearing 4" heels... you're still 5'4".
Do guys really care about heels? I would think it's more that the girls are self conscious, not the guys. | |

One of my best investments has been learning major foreign languages of countries where English isn't spoken that much or well. Spanish and Portuguese mostly. Even so, there are men who don't know much of either language and yet when they go to Latin America the women treat them so much better. Yeah, I know, they want a green card, blah blah blah. American men are highly respected and prized in many places around the world simply because for the most part we're not womanizers or drunkards.
Go to Eastern Europe, Latin America, or Asia and for the most part the women there don't have problems with obesity as we do. North American cities are laid out to benefit the car and oil companies. Sure, some cities have gotten better public transportation, but for the most part it's people in cars. Same with folks who live out in the boondocks and commute to a bigger town to work. In a lot of countries not everybody has a car, so they walk and take public transportation. Want to go to another town? Take a bus. The food in tropical countries tends to be on the healthy side. When non-Westerners eat a mostly fast-food diet, they'll gain some weight as well.
There are foreign ladies here who live in big cities. That's also an option to explore.
Yeah, most North American women place too much importance on height. Not all tall guys are cheaters, but my older 6'1" brother has had 1 son and 4 daughters, 2 of them born out of wedlock from affairs he had had. But women here don't care about that; they just want a tall guy. Not surprising for a consumeristic culture where we'll buy huge cars until gas gets too expensive, where parents will do anything for spoiled children as long as they don't throw a temper tantrum.
Forget the leg surgery. You'd only get 2 to 3 inches extra max. If you had that kind of money, you could actually pay a woman to be your girlfriend.
I think one reason why more men don't pursue the so-called "mail-order bride" route is more or less a reason why they stick to Microsoft: FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). Oh well, that just means more foreign ladies for me!

Maybe there is some truth to what you are saying, but I haven't noticed it. | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:54:54 AM | "That's exactly my point Jonathan. It means that it is not an issue at all unless someone acts "short" by being hung up about it and thereby making it an issue."
so if a tall guy is hung up about being tall is pushy and domineering or has self esteem issues does that mean he's acting "short"? define acting "short" what does that even mean?
you're not making much sense to be honest | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 11:25:42 AM | | I've heard women say they want someone their own height or close to it because the relationship "feels" more equal. It's like, some men want big boobs-- really. My mother loved bald men. Some women really want a big penis, other's don't care; others won't even have sex with well endowed men. | |

I've never heard that before. Do those women prefer shorter men to taller men? Do they view taller men as superior to them? If so, I think they are as silly as the women who think that THEY are superior to shorter men.
It's like, some men want big boobs-- really.
How is it like that? Men reject women soley on the basis of their breast size now? When did this start happening? When did men start commenting on breast size in their profiles (i.e.: please don't reply if you are less than a D-cup)? This height obsession thing is nothing like the slight preference that some men have for breasts.
My mother loved bald men. Some women really want a big penis, other's don't care; others won't even have sex with well endowed men.
This is NOTHING like height requirements. How could you know a man's penis size before you are already in some sort of relationship? It's not the same as an automatic rejection because of height. And even baldness doesn't create requirements in most women. Most women don't have a requirement that says "must not be bald". At least, not that I've ever seen.

Exactly. I'm trying to figure out what she means by "acting short"? That's why I said, "what about the short men who are proud of their height and don't think there is anything wrong with being short".

Posted: 5/14/2008 6:43:13 PM | Here is the opening statement in my profile: (I am currently 5'6" and in the wonderful age of the shrinking woman.... I was 5' 7.5" in my 'youth'.)
"Dating sites are like a box of chocolate, you don't know what you will get until you pick one. Some look delicious on the outside but the filling is not what you wanted. Be open to trying different shapes and sizes until you find the one you have been seeking."
Me being a larger woman, I do personally prefer someone my height or taller, just because a man my height or smaller makes me feel 'larger' if that makes any sense to you men. There is something to be said about the comments (which I agree) about 'fitting' to your partner. It just works better.
