Posted: 12/3/2005 10:29:18 AM | | Hi just me again ,,You ladies are great at what you are doing to these poor fellas, stop teasing them,,,Like I siad before Ithink I'm the smallest guy who has responed on here, Hey I was the tallest in my grade 1 class,,,Yes the small man syndrome,,,my expiriece in life is its the taller guy that wants to pick the fight with the smaller guy...and then my lady friends step in ,,,its so funny.I always have loved a challenge and have played almost every sport there is,not to prove anything I just love a challenge,so Idon't think that is the sms...as for the guy on here talking about his fighting skills,,,hambone,,,I think, people that wear glasses where them for a reason, you are already at a disadvantage for your sport. you have to be in top physical condition to be the best and that goes for eyesight,I had my own kick boxing club and vision is a huge part of fighting,,,show me the trophies or where I can find your name on a website if you are soooo good. I'll show you mine...sorry I just think he's full of it...then again I could be wrong and I'm sorry if Iam,I will apologise if I'm wrong but I don't think that will be happening. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 11:06:09 AM | | I appreciate the women's responses on this issue, but, I would like to make a stand for the "little guys." I can understand very well that tall women want to date taller guys...I personally don't feel comfortable dating someone taller than me and therefore tend to date women who are under 5'8...To me it just doesnt look or feel right...Hard to explain....I will tell you that guys shorter in stature generally have to work harder to make it in all aspects of life! I remember playing on a teenage basketball team in the 9th grade at 5'0. Most of the guys were at least 5'8 in height..I had to work harder than the others to score points, and perhaps jump higher to block shots...I really think these experiences have made me more mentally tough and confident as a person....I also remember being picked on in college by the guys over 6'0..What I learned is that sometimes you just have to take on the big guy...As a freshman in college I wrestled a 6'8 guy to the floor and pinned him in a college dorm room hallway...It took this to gain the respect of others and eliminated future confrontations....Many tall guys I have met are "all talk" and I never really felt intimidated by them." In the corporate world and even in the schools I have noticed that yes the tall guys have an advantage...I have used the same strategy in moving up the ladder...Rather than decking them now I just work harder and smarter at getting there. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 11:27:38 AM | I find it humorous that a short guy (or anyone for that matter) needs to even talk about strength or fighting or work ethic.
Women have preferences, men have preferences. Looking at the responses of the ladies here and contrary to popular belief, it would seem that using logic to change their preferences isn't going to work. Move on.
But never the less, just to add to the macho****ness(sp) stuff here...I'm a short guy, I'm also a doctor, I make big bucks, I'm a former National Champ in track, and if you look at my pic, I probably have more muscle mass and physical development then most of the folks here.
Let's move on to page #8 woo, woo!!! | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 12:21:27 PM | | I dont care how some man fights another.......this forum wasnt about that (whether short men could take on tall men). It was how ladies felt about short guys. It is all a preference. I have men in my life who are short and I ADORE THEM. I wasnt out to judge anyone so please stop. The forums ask for our opinions and Im very opinionated. If a shorter man knew what I liked, could do it for me, it doesnt mean just cause he is short I wouldnt go near him. I know exactly what it is that does it for me, I prefer taller men, but if the shorter man was more intelligent etc etc then without a doubt he would have my attention. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 12:44:42 PM | | July, I apologize profusely. As far short men being more intelligent than tall men, I don't know who said that, but they were full of it - intelligence has NOTHING to do with size. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 2:07:51 PM | | Sorry Iron Wolf what I meant with that was its not necessarily the tall one I would go for just cause I prefer them tall, I meant if I met 2 men at a party and one was tall and one was short but the shorter one had intelligence and could light my fire way better I wouldnt go for the taller one just cause he was taller.....its just a preference nothing more.... there are totally loads of YUMMY GORGEOUS, what I like in a man shorter man mmmmmm good. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 3:57:06 PM | shorter men are more defensive, and act like they have ... something to prove.
well, yeah, they do have something to prove. I'm not short, but I can still see the arrogant bullshit that gets handed out by the tall guys, and the women that worship them and just lap it up. I can't imagine what it's like to be a genuinely short guy, and that " small man syndrome " label is just adding insult to injury. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 5:14:58 PM | | I had a boyfriend that was 6'6"......that was sick and tired of short guys trying to pick fights with him...wanting to prove they could beat a tall guy.......I have a friend that is 6'1".....stuff like that happens to him at bars....don't label tall guys; maybe they won't do that either. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 7:05:14 PM | | Well like they say it takes a better man to walk away from a fight,,,I have alot of tall friends,it would be suicide to pick a fight with these guys...and as we know its not like the movies the first punch in a bar fight usually is the last one,and to the guy that talks about it being a struggle for a short guy,,you are right especially in my work place they are all big boys, but you also need ahead on your shoulders,job performance is a big thing,you can't hide in my trade if you are week in body or mind. Its funny how this has gotten way off topic...have a nice night everyone. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 7:23:02 PM | I once dated a fairly tall guy with really broad shoulders and a developed chest. He had the demeanor of a teddy bear. He hated going out to bars, because other guys were always out to pick a fight with him to prove themselves. But it wasn't just short ones.
I can understand shorter men sometimes feeling like they have to prove themselves, though. Being one of few women in my sport, I sometimes feel like I have to prove that I can hang with the boys. I felt the same way when I was in the police academy, which was under 10% female. I can't even imagine what it's like to deal with that feeling all the time. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 8:38:14 PM | I think personally speaking I have met and seen so many really hot shorter guys and I find myself attracted to them often...cough...lostprophet...ehemmmm, the problem is that I am so tall I do feel awkward next to a guy who is shorter than myself. I guess it makes me feel like I am taking the guy's role or something and I'm all about being the girly and feminine one. So that is the only reason why I do have a height restriction on my profile.
I have read on here many women around the 5.5 mark claiming they NEED to be with tall guys that are around 6ft tall or more??? why? I wish I was 5.5 I'd be all over those 5.7-5.9 hotties I see everywhere....so ladies if you are 5.7 and under do us all a favour and open your eyes to all the men selection you have and stop being nit-picky wanting only super tall guys. Get a grip ladies that's retarded!!! | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 8:47:09 PM | It's hell on earth!!! I think it all comes down to respect.I can somewhat understand TALLER guys poking fun at the shorter guys at times because being nearly 5'8 myself I too get tempted to pick on the shorter guys who are between 5' and 5'6 but it's not in a mean or derogatory way.I'VE got a couple of guy friends who tease me about height and I TEASE THEM BACK SAYING,"YOU MIGHT BE SIX INCHES TALLER BUT MY ARMS ARE SIX INCHES BIGGER SO WATCH IT,PAL!!!!"As for the women...they're entitled to their choices and I can respect that and I don't even mind being called "SHORTY" or "LITTLE BOOGER" as long as it's in good taste and in good fun.The only thing I DON'T like is when the taller women try to pat my beautiful "bald head"!!!I'M NOT A TOY!!!! NOW that's toooo much!!! | |

Very Well said. Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated! If women held your perspective, it would be much easier for a shorter guy to get a date. Because although I'm not tall, at 5'7 I still am as tall or taller than many women. You said that you have seen women around 5'5 claiming they need a six foot man, well I can top that I've seen women 5'0-5'2 saying the same thing. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 9:29:27 PM | Wow that's totally insane, prophet!
What's wrong with going out with a guy the same height or a few inches taller? My ex was exactly one inch taller and truthfully I have always gone out with guys considerably taller than myself yet I didn't mind the fact that we were practically the same height, at all. I would just not wear my super tall heels, not because of him he didn't mind at ALL, it was more me I was the one with the height thing. So now I find myself checking out guys that are around my same height. tee-hee
A study revealed that taller men are offered higher starting salaries and make more money than their shorter counterparts.
and speaking of retarded things...yes this statement may be true but it's true professionally, tall men get into management positions or postions of power...blahh blahh blahhh But what the he-ll does that have to do with dating!?!?? Sometimes I am embarassed to be a woman...some women just make us look so bad and it's no wonder they keep calling us superficial and gold diggers. | |

Posted: 12/3/2005 9:52:48 PM | | Not if you're a bricklayer!!! THE mortar tables are two feet off the ground and the shorter guys tend to lay more bricks because they have to bend less and in masonry the more bricks you lay the more bonuses and contracts the contractors tend to give you.IT'S also easier for the smaller guys to get around on scaffolds AND BUILD THEM. | |
