i get a kick out of women who say it is uncomfortable to bend down and kiss a short man.
ladies who say this... don't you realize most men have to bend over to kiss YOU!!!! so THEIR comfort has no meaning for you. get real!
I never said it was physically uncomfortable (if you actually READ my post), I just found it nice to be 'shorter' or 'smaller' than my man for once. I have dated plenty of shorter guys - and I'm open minded about it. I'm just enjoying being the shorter one for once. I come from a family where the next tallest family member is 5'6" (among the male and female members...) so it's nice not to feel like Godzilla for once. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 11:28:56 AM | This thread has obviously stirred up a lot of sentiment. I have myself made, I think six posts on this thread. If a woman or the majority of women prefer tall men, which I suspect they do, I don't particularly care. What am I gonna do? Start a picket line? Life is too short.
Everybody's got to accommodate some reality. A lot of tall men are rotting on this site. I see them in the forums. I have been on this site a year. I see the same women still looking.
The man they dream about is not interested in them. He can do better. Nobody wants to settle. I don't either. So we are going to sit on our hands. A woman's power resides, guess where? So they tend to enjoy flexing their muscles. | |

and at 5'10'', he's just a little bit taller then me he's not even tall enough to call most short guys "short" | |

It's not that I'm insecure about my height. It's just hard to feel feminine when I'm towering over the guy.
But isn't that the definition of insecurity? Wouldn't a self-assured/confident woman feel feminine by the fact that she is a woman. Height doesn't come into it at all. I don't feel "less masculine" because there is a tall woman nearby.
Just my opinion.

Posted: 12/15/2008 7:16:07 PM | | That is what I was getting at as well. I don't date guys shorter than I am, it's an insecurity about feminity, if I felt secure about being a tall gal then I would probably date people shorter as well as taller. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 11:01:07 PM | | I am pleased to announce that my long awaited growth spurt has finally arrived. I have been waiting since the age of thirteen for that magic summer when I would shoot up six inches. This thread was my magic summer. A summer in Hell. I am tall now and I am getting double headers from the Olson twins. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 11:10:45 PM | My dear greenjellocup..don't be shy about your height. You are gorgeous - and very intelligent. And a beautiful writer. And very young. It's all just starting to happen for you. Be secure!
Sorry, everyone, but that needed to be said.
Actually, no one should give a rat's ass about height. Seriously. It's no biggie. | |

Posted: 12/16/2008 12:07:50 AM | No HUGE biggie, however I at 5'5" love my men at least 2" taller than I, so it's a matter of preference! | |

Posted: 12/16/2008 1:27:01 AM | My first love was 2 inches shorter than I. Height was never an issue, even when I grew another inch taller during the time we were together.
Online dating gives us the chance to list our preferences.
There's not much that those of us on either end of the height spectrum can do about it. | |

Posted: 12/17/2008 7:47:26 PM | I admit, I peeked at greenjellocup's profile, just to see if I had a chance. I don't meet the minimum requirement. :frustrated:
That said, I also note she's fairly young. Perhaps as she ages a bit, her attitudes might change. I know that when I was a decade younger, I had a different outlook. | |

For men Preference = Preference.
If a woman says that she wants tall, dark and handsome it is called preference or physical attraction. If a man says that he wants skinny, big boobs and blond he is called a superficial pig.
It seems that men may no longer be the superficial species since women have passed up the guys. | |

There's nothing wrong with only considering people you're physically/emotionally/mentally attracted to. Women care about looks. Women care about a lot of things. That's nothing new. | |

Posted: 12/18/2008 11:56:19 AM | Yeah I'm the same height and get the same response. Even from women shorter than me lol.
Maybe they are just being polite and using my height as the excuse when in reality I'm inherently undatable or something. I've had no luck on this site at all and I've been here for a while now. No contacts to me and rejections from everyone I've contacted.
Mostly due to height. | |

Posted: 12/18/2008 12:34:21 PM | | I admit I've used the height excuse when it was something else. Men respond better to it than hearing, "You're unattractive" or "You're uneducated" or any number of reasons why I don't want to talk to them. If I say, "I prefer men who are taller", they leave me alone quickly since they know they can't do anything about their height. The real reason is usually, "your height is just one more point against you" rather than something that breaks the perfect deal. If the guy was fantastic in every other way, his height wouldn't matter as much. Few men are like that though. | |

Posted: 12/18/2008 4:39:08 PM | | All this talk of bending to kiss is silly. Trust me, if you want to kiss or make love, it's not gonna matter how tall either of you are. I've dated men from 5' 3" to 6' 6" and that's mainly because I rarely notice the height of a guy in his profile. I'm looking at age, non smoker and size as I have a fondness for thick men. Notice I said fondness, not preference or requirement. | |

Girls are too judgmental, like worrying about the age..
Guys care about age too. I've had men over 30 complain that I won't consider them when they won't consider a woman over 40. We all judge: we just hate when someone judges us to be "unworthy". | |

Posted: 12/18/2008 11:44:24 PM | I encourage you to go to the mall one weekend and look around at the couples. Tell me how many overweight women you see in relationships and then tell me how many couples you see that the man is shorter. I think we will find here that women are more superficial. You will find more men today looking beyond the physical.
For the few non-superficial women out there...Please don't change who you are. | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 12:30:03 AM | IMO~ really short men [meaning under 5'6] usually have a napolean complex. They're too used to yelling [attempting to be macho] and trying to assert themselves. They are screaming to be heard because they are accustomed to being passed over for taller men. Can be highly annoying. Not all~ I speak generally from experience with this variety on non-personal levels.

Tis the season to spread some holiday prejudice. How charming.

Exactly! As a species the male of our species is bigger and taller then the female. It's just how we are made. Of course there are always exception , but generally men are bigger then women. To argue against this fact would be extremely foolish. | |

This arguement holds no water men on average are bigger then women.
no offense chuck, but your posts are starting to become whiney even for my tastes.

Posted: 12/19/2008 3:29:25 PM | Back in the day.. *ahem* I was 5'8" (I shrank 1 in. after my car wreck) I dated 2 men who were 5'2". Both of them insisted that I wore heels of what ever height I liked. One gent and I did have an agreement that we would not dance slow dances in "public" or kiss in public beyond a peck on the cheek or lips (looking back sounds cold). We did have a lot of fun with the jokes when we were with friends and he would sit on my knee or make like the cave man and joke about carrying me off with my feet dragging the floor. He always would say.. "if she really wanted to get away all she would have to do is put her foot down".
