I think it is a socialogical thing... goes back to when the biggest badest caveman got all the women. The strongest lion leads the pack... all that physiological bull...

Reality is that it is more about the confidence of the man who approaches the woman.. Most women will tell you in their profile.. like man between 5'10 and the clouds.. but really if you charm em right.. and treat them good..even us shorties can get these women to date them.. At least that has been my experience.

"short people got no reason...."

That was a cute post "whyscracker".


HAHAHA!

Tall white guys have small peckers. *Yawn*.

That was ****in ignorant.

And borderline racist, even tho you look to be white.

Just pure ignorance.

And im not even tall. Im short. But that comment was still full of ignorance. And there are no stats to back up your claims either.

Unless your like a 7/11. And for a while were open to enough tall white dudes. Then you know jack shit.

donnie, don't ask. It doesn't matter what response you get. Who cares why some don't like short guys. Why should it matter what their reasons are?

I know one thing, being shorter than average in stature makes gives a person a unique view not available to others. I can appreciate it is frustrating for dating purposes, and I feel for you. I'm a guy, so I can't date you. Height is attractive to women because in the barbaric societies of our ancestors taller men could more easily survive. This meant that wives attracted to taller men, and children of taller men survived more often also. It is in our genetic code. Even in the last century people have gotten considerably taller. Height seems to emulate power, to a degree. But what a person really is made of is how they use obstacles in their path as stepping stones to climb up over people who get in the way. No one can make it in life if they stumble over obstacles in their path. The wicked shall fall and not get up, and the just will use them as stepping stones. It is better to dine with a civilized man than with the tall, arrogant, and vulgar.

Since you appear sincere, innocently asking for clues on the forum, let me tell you this: The source of all Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, and Power is Jesus Christ. If you know His Name, and take on His Nature, these things belong to you. When you have the source of all Power to derive sustenance from, all Power belongs to you. You can have anything you want. All you have to do is ask The Father In The Name of Jesus Christ, and it will be given to you. First you must take on the Nature of Jesus. Then you can use His Power.

I never have a bad day. I always have everything I want. Whenever I want something I ask God if it is really what I want, and if it is I ask if I can please have it. I always get what I ask for, because I know what to ask for. Here is a principle to start you out. If you always forgive everyone for not doing what you want, including yourself, people will always do what you want, and you will always have everything you want.

I prefer a guy who is at least 2 inches taller than me. Preferably 5'10" and over though as I am 5'7".

I used to make a big deal about height, but in the end it's ALWAYS the person who counts.

Though I have noticed a lot of guys on here who say they're under 5' and when I ask them about it, it turns out they forgot to change the default in their profile when filling it out LOL

I am 5'8", and I have noticed that women that are 5'8" wont date the same ht.

I had a friend that knew 2 single friends in tehir 30's one was about those hts...and I asked, "hey, introduce me!"

And she said, "No, they only date guys 6 feet or taller"

I was like..."Come on man, just give it a chance....have me "Pop up" sometime. lol

It depends on what you like. As for me I always get flack from my friends cause I tend to go out with tall guys and when we’re out partying I don’t even pay attention to the short ones. I can’t help it it’s just what I’m attracted to. The funny thing is, as I’m only 5’4, I always get approached by the short ones.

Yes dear Glowman, I look to be white, since you aren't specifically asking, I'll leave it up to your magic assumption machine to figure out what that means. Oh, I think you bit off that tongue in my cheek, are you fitting any of my description, by chance? Me thinks thou dost protest too much.

There are other ways to get to know Jack Shit without fornicating with him, conveniently or otherwise, such as participation in a university study, or a research paper whereupon major clinical studies are reviewed, compared, contrasted and compiled.

These studies are easy to find on the web, have a look. Actually, the studies state that white men, not necessarily tall, are in the medium to small range. Not the smallest. It's not actually *race* that defines the size but the long term evolution of a particular genetic ancestry affected by climatic norms. The more ancesters born in hot climates, the more likely you are to be large and in charge. To this day, the hotter climes are largely populated by less than white people.

However, these stats are from measurements of the flaccid state. It is the general view that erect penises are in the 4-8 inch size regardless of race. The theory that black males are larger comes from two possible sources, their flaccid state does tend to be larger, *and* certain diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, which primarily affects the African Decendent, can cause larger than normal size. How much elasticity and blood engorgement an individual man has, is not predictable by the flaccid state and, over the course of his lifetime, measurements can have significant ups and down.

Since whoville made the inference that tall men have large peckers and short men have small ones I was simply being argumentative for the sake of showing him how absurd his comment was.

Interesting that you don't seem to feel his comments were out of line. It's not OK to dis a tall white guy for being an ass, but it's ok to dis people who are short? OP was asking a legit question, and so many people gave productive answers.

I dont recall saying anything about black guys.

And yea, yea, yea. I know about the whole flaccid thing. That is obvious.

And I reponded to your post. Not anyone else.

I happen to be 5"7.

And you have no stats to back up claims of actual erect sizes. You have flaw tests. And whatnot.

And when did I diss short people.

And that dude made a joke. And of course a smaller guy with the same size as a tall guy will look bigger.

You are the one that brought up race.

And of course. You have no evidence that certain types of white guys tend to be small. You just have your narrow minded racist bullshit.

And you didn't originally mentioned flaccid. Just go the fuck away.

I'm 5'9 1/2" without shoes on, so I'm about average height for a guy. But I don't think I'd ever date a girl who was taller than myself; it just wouldn't seem right. The thought of having to look up into HER eyes and having to reach up to kiss her would seem to go against my natural order of things...LOL.....Being with a girl who was taller than myself would make her seem more manly in my eyes, and that I don't need! hehe

As a side note: I am very attracted to shorter girls - like 5'1" -5'3". There's just something very feminine and sexy about a tiny, petite girl. And another thing about tall girls that I have noticed that I don't particularly like: they generally have BIG FEET! I personally have a big foot fetish, and I think girls with sexy, well-kept and smaller feet are sexy. But alot of tall girls seem to have really long, narrow feet, with long, skinny toes...I know it sounds shallow but it's just the way I feel. Or their second toe will be longer than their big toe! LOL>...

I don't think height is any different than any number of other characteristics that makes an individual attractive to another individual. Some people like blondes, some people like brunettes, some people find baldness hot ... some like very thin partners, some prefer not so thin, etc etc etc. I like tall men, but i don't have any specific reason why, it's just what appeals to me. i have a girlfriend that is 5'7", and she finds men an inch or two taller than her and on the skinny side attractive. Different strokes for different strokes, and that's a good thing, what a boring place the world would be if we all felt the exact same way.

personally i think the important thing is to be proud and confident with whoever you are, self confidence goes a long long way, and if someone who is short (or whatever other physical characteristic you want to point out) feels he/she needs to apologize for it, or feels they've been screwed over, or has some sort of chip on his shoulder, then personally, I think that's far less attractive than whatever physical characteristic we're discussing.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I'm not tall myself, unless I am wearing my heels. Most women seem to like tall men. So I pretend to be tall. It works for me. High heels are ever so much less expensive and less painful than leg extension surgery. If a woman thinks that I am too short, then I can get higher heels.

I actually didn't mean *small* penis to begin with, it's a double entendre, an irony, a subtlety which some are having trouble grasping. They teach reading comprehension in school, right?

To answer the original question, women don't like to date short guys because they meet so many who are whiners, who assume attacks from every little statement, and who have big chips on their shoulders. The worst are the ones who spend so much time trying to prove that height doesn't matter, they don't see how *small* they are. Hint: *small* here is *not* referencing penis size or height. The few stereotypical short guys we meet scare of us off from even trying to get to know the rest. And here we have the perfect example of why tall jerks like Whoville are preferred over short jerks-presuming one feels like she has to settle for a jerk at all.

my last word, I'm going the *f* away.

I think the poster who said that women don't like shorter guys because they meet so many who are whiners is making a gross generalization. Does she mean "All" short guys or just short guys that she has experienced? I know alot of shorter guys - 5'5" -5'7" - who seem to be the most confident guys in the world, so once again, certain generalizations are made on the basis of isolated people or incidents.

I have to admit that I have always been attracted to guys who were taller than me, in fact it's one of the characteristics that I look for (even says so in my profile). But a few weeks ago I got a message from a guy and his profile said he was 5'8 (in actuality I think he's closer to 5'7 cause I'm taller than him). I thought what the h*ll, so I agreed to meet him for coffee. Well, things are working out quite nicely. I think about it and know for a fact that had his profile said he was 5'7 I probably wouldn't have agreed to meet him, and then I would have totally missed out on a great guy who seems to be totally into me! (I must admit that it's a little annoying that I don't wear my heels anymore though.) I guess that my point is if you can get the right girl to meet you and dazzle her with your personality, the height thing might not matter as much as she thought it did.

Good Luck.

Common response said by women

"I usually find my self dating taller guys"

I am like "What does that mean, does that mean that she just by COINCIDENCE she just accidently dates taller men?"

Does that mean she is actually open to dating shorter men?

You guys are funny im not bitter about it i sorta understand why women are attracted to taller men i was just asking since im not a woman what is it exactly that attracts u to taller guys.

Ive also found that being only 5'2 myself which is extremely short for a man i know... That i have a better chance with a girl who is taller then me as short girls definately do love tall guys...

It really is all about confidence which you cant tell over a computer i tried this site cause i wanted to try to get to know someone before i dated them but i cant even get a girl to answer me back cause all she sees is that im 5'2.. So ill stick to the real world instead of this and just use this as a means of talking to people when im bored thnx...

Oh and thnx for all the great advice..
