| Shallowness; Guys vs Girls
Posted: 1/30/2009 12:11:47 PM | I don't really understand this thread. The traits people consider shallow are the ones they lack when the get rejected for lacking it. It's my prerogative to accept or reject someone for any reason that appeals to me, too fat, too thin, too tall, too short wrong race, wrong hair color, wrong eye color, nose too big, tits too big, tits too small, wrong size labia, squeaky voice, too stupid, you name it. It's my life. I'm 5'9" tall and I will get rejected for not being 6' tall. BF deal. I'm not going to get taller or change anyone's mind by complaining. I reserve the right to be as shallow as I choose to be.
If you're too short, you have an option if you really want it. Make a lot f money. If you're making a quarter million a year, your rejection rate will drop like a rock. Ever see Herve Villachaize's wife? I rest my case. | |

Posted: 1/30/2009 12:44:55 PM | Subject of this thread I believe is about us short men.
No need to worry about what you can not change. Yes speaking from experience it seems more difficult for us short guys to get dates especially with taller women, but the process of dating can be work to begin with so what difference does it make. Pursuing the ones that select you verses the ones you select(and think you a have real chance with) can help to remedy one being vertically challenged. ..simple as that..if one says no, move on to the next one. Just remember everybody has been shorter than someone at one point in there life and guess what, the most likely survived and lived to dance with an tall woman who has had to many martinis and to play motorboat..  Happy dating out there. | |

Best is around 1.80 to 1.85. Or maybe to 1.90 if they have a good body built for that height (then that might be even better oukakllalaalalala). | |

Posted: 2/1/2009 7:04:51 PM | I was really really REALLY attracted to a man a tiny bit shorter than me, or maybe "just" my height, and really the reason why is because of his personality and the way he looked seductively into my eyes, as well as his EXTREME intelligence and people skills. I don't know where he is now, but I wish I could have dated him. Plus he had a really manly personality, and he was a really good person and cared about people. He really SOLD himself well. I'm hung up on him, and yet I'll probably never see him again. He was one of a kind. He KNEW how to do it.
I guess it all comes down to a few things:
confidence is number one! Not egotistical but just really healthy positivity
extreme intelligence is next
reasonably good job
Flirting is next. being a master of flirtation.
caring for others, talking about how they try to help
if they can really make themselves seem successful and go getters
if they take care of themselves, wear nice clothes
if they treat others well, is a good person
treats you with respect
has a romantic quality
If a short man does all that, and he isn't ugly, he can get any girl he wants, even a model. | |

Posted: 2/1/2009 10:03:30 PM | | actually I should mention, I'm not hung up on this guy anymore, I was for a "short" while. I would probably like this peson again if he tried to convince me again. However if he didn't, I would just see him as a friend/acquaintance. but I guess really, you just like what you like. And I've liked different types of men. I dated one short guy that I didn't like after a while, for example. But yeah, I mean, some "people" have impact! Some people leave a lasting mark. It doesn't matter if short or tall, you can end up liking someone whom you never thought you would. It is just a matter of realizing it. I think men can sell themselves to women better than women can to men. I think a woman can change her mind more easily. That's just from hearing a LOT of stories where the women didn't like the man and didn't think he was her type, and he persuaded her. But men on the other hand, once they make up their minds, they don't seem to budge. You just have to give up and say "NEXT!" | |

Posted: 2/10/2009 3:56:42 PM | | I know this sounds awfully shallow but I just don't feel feminine when I date some one shorter than me. I feel like a huge amazon. And then if I wear flat shoes I feel kind of dumpy. I love wearing skirts and heels to feel feminine and flirty. Sorry , it truely is a shallow reason but I can't get past it. | |

Posted: 2/14/2009 8:04:45 PM | Money has no significance as long as your comfortable, money can't make anyone happy. I would rather be crazy about him than crazy about his money. I would prefer someone with smarts than rich.
As for his height it doesn't matter if he is tall or short, If there is attraction and chemistry, that is all that really matters to me. | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 11:22:33 PM | | I am 5'8" and that is tall for a woman, but I like my guys to be taller than me just because its a personal preference of mine.... I like them to be atleast 5'10 or taller. I just dont like when guys are shorter than me its not something I can really explain taller guys are just sexier to me.... | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 11:33:44 PM | Some shorter men seem to have a problem when it comes to women who prefer to date tall men. It's a personal preference of mine, to date men of good height. I'm a sucker for men who are at least 6'1. Especially 6'2-6'3.
People can view that as they please. | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 3:34:52 AM | | Well, I'm 5'0 and have dated men as short a 5'2 and as tall as 6'2. Personality and mutual attraction are what count. Although I will say that I think some men who were shorter asked me out solely because I was shorter than they were and they wanted to feel tall. Oh well. I've never had an issue of having to decide to date someone shorter than I am, since I am sooo short. Although I'm not sure I'd like it. ... I probably wouldn't care. | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 9:45:34 AM | | I am 5ft 4in. tall. I have always dated men between 5'2 to 5'10. I like shorter men because I can see their eyes, not their belt buckle. To me I want to be able to put my arms on their shoulders and be comfortable. I do not want to be over towered. I have talked with a few girlfriends of mine, and most have told me, that tall men seem over powering,,, as if they would be more of a threat or controling. Honestly, I have found the oposite. Some of the short men that I have dated, seem to attempt to over compensate for their heights.. If you do not do this,, and are comfortable with who you are.. then, hight should not be an issue! Heck go for the tall ones and the short ones... if you get along,, and are happy,,, who cares.! If that is an issue when you meet someone,,, other issues are going to be blown OUT OF THE WATER, when and if they arise!.. Good luck... OLDER and WISER.... | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 4:17:00 PM | | I think it's simply preference. Althought some women have the ill concieved notion that all men who are shorter suffer from "short man syndrome" | |

Posted: 2/16/2009 10:01:53 PM | Every woman has her own preference just as I have mine. Don't be discouraged by some that are dead-set against dating a shorter guy. I am 5'5" and have had the experience of women digging me for reasons other than my height.
I have always led my life from a "normal" perspective and not from a "short" perspective, and found better luck with women in person than online. This was especially true at work, in the department I used to work in previously where there were a lot of women. Even when I displayed no interest in them, quite a few of them expressed interest in getting to know me better.
I suppose when given a daily opportunity to observe me, they overlooked my height and found other aspects of me more appealing; much to the dismay of some of my colleagues-tall and short.
So, develop a good personality and a sense of humor, be presentable and consistent. Someone might think you're special. | |

I have had that happen to me also. With me being 5'7, at first I had take it to heart & I really hated it. But then a few months ago, I decided I was going to care what women thought of me, as soon as I did that, women kept asking me why am I still single, what do I look for in a woman, & some wanted to sleep with me. I know when people say confidence short guys just brush it off, but from my perspective, confidence does work. | |

Posted: 2/17/2009 8:36:51 AM | | Im 48 years old, and my entire life I have dated men my height or taller because thats what Im attracted to, however, someone on POF who is shorter then me challenged me on that, and made me realize that I could be missing out on meeting a great guy just because he is 2 inches shorter then me. We did go out, and his height didnt bother me at all, so I learned from this experience to think outside the box... | |

Posted: 2/18/2009 3:08:27 PM | I prefer to date men under 6', especially since I am 5'1". Even when I do wear heels, I never get close to the top of their heads. I do not like dating men over 6' because it feels like they are giants looming over and I feel like a child. Ideally I would love a man between 5'6" and 5'9" so I can reach all the right places without too much effort.   | |

I prefer a short man.

I like a man under 5' 11".
Don't really make much sense. The average height for a man in the United States is approximately 5'9" (at least as of 2002). As a result, you might logically say you don't fancy overly tall men. | |

Posted: 5/10/2009 9:41:11 PM | | I'm 5' 0" and even shorter sitting down. I get judged on my height by women all the time. I personally don't care how tall or how short a woman is. She can be 6' 6" or 3' 6"...I don't care. | |
