Posted: 10/3/2006 11:40:31 AM | The only thing that ticks me off on the whole height thing is that women act like high heels are an appendage, ie "I'm 5'6 and I like to wear four inch heels so that makes me 5'10 and then I need the man to be four inches taller still, so at least 6'2 for me, sorry thats just my preference". Ok, thats certainly her right, but it sounds like pretty stupid logic to me.
I'm not going to bother wiki on the history of high heels, but I'm going to guess they were created to make women more comfortable around men that tend to be half a foot taller. Now they've become dating logic lol | |

Posted: 10/3/2006 4:44:02 PM | Ah, the Napoleonic Complex... Short Guy Syndrome...
Yet another stereotype, yet also somewhat valid.
When you're shorter than average while growing up, yes the taller children have this perceived superiority and often pick on the shorter children. Kids are cruel. You're either the timid, wimpy type who takes it, (and ONE day goes postal) or you're the kind who doesn't take it and stands up for yourself. If you stand up for yourself, you get lots of practice while growing up.
Don't worry ladies, most guys grow out of short-guy syndrome, but how they handled it growing up will determine how they let it affect them later on.
Another short guy in this thread posted his disgust at the perceived notion that short guys aren't capable protectors. I am with him on that. But, at this day in age, does that ACTUALLY have any bearing? We're not living in prehistoric times, and we do not have to club women over the head and drag them by the hair back to our caves anymore, after a long hunting trip.
Go ahead, pick on a short guy who doesn't take it... you'll be surprised and sorry  But again, this comment is just rebutting the belief that the taller guy is "tougher" or a better protector.
I think I am a decent looking guy, in decent shape... and I DO see the short thing is indeed an issue. I'm a "superstar in the car" :) You know, stopped at a light or stuck in traffic, I get a look or two, it's nice when you see her roll up a few feet to get a better look and smile. I get enough instant messages from my yahoo profile and pictures. But walking down the street, or in a mall, it is extremely rare when I can establish eye contact or even get a smile out of a girl. Years of this has provided the proof that the short thing isn't a PLUS :)
Oh, and that "proportionate" arguement... well, people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and yes, proportions... but there is no mathmatical equation to relate to appendage size
But I certainly do subscribe to the belief that the man should be the taller of the two. Blame it on society, it's one that stuck with me. But I do find it silly when a girl who is roughly 5'2" states in her online profile that her preference is for 6 feet or taller. Chacon a son gout... I have my own "shallow" preferences as well. But tall guys... quit stealing our short women!!!
We're all the same height when lying down! | |

Posted: 12/22/2007 12:55:26 PM | | You women, perish the thought that a tall guy will offer better protection. When the time comes and you are being held up in a dark alley by several knife wielders, the only thing that will protect you is a 9mm in your purse, not your 6'3" neanderthal . | |

Taller is subjective...being that I am only 5'3", anything over that is taller
It's true that taller is subjective. But doesn't the problem lie in the fact that "taller" is generally considered intrinsically superior to "shorter"? As long as that concept exists, the relativeness of people's height is a moot point (imho).

Posted: 12/22/2007 10:13:51 PM | | My personal prefrences is for a man to be 5'10" to 6'2". I am used to a man around 6'. I am 5'11" and am used to looking into a guys eyes and being able to lean over and kiss. No toe standing. I am used to it, that is what I am comfortable with. I have gone out with taller guys and have not been comfortable. I haven't gone out with anyone shorter than 5'10" except one guy and he was a jerk, he lied and well...yeah, didn't having anything to do with this topic. But yeah men around my height are fine with me. | |

I used to fret and b1tch about my height when I was young. Then, it occurred to me that what I can't change shouldn't bother me (5’7” isn’t THAT short after all). On the other hand, I was very skinny all my life (I am sure thin people will agree that gaining weight is just as hard as losing weight for overweight people). That did bother me because it was something that I could change. After six month of exercising, I am happy to report that I am a much happier and healthier person then ever before.
It doesn’t make any sense to worry about things that you can’t change (unless you are willing to break your legs to make it grow). Work on things you can change you will be a better person for it!
Well posted ajmodestus(d2343532).......I agree with you..iam 5ft 7 as well and really comfortable with my height..
Funny enough....all the whining and pitying replys are coming from guys around 5ft 10....i have dates with women from various heights and they have shown no dissatisfaction about my height. I feel relaxed about myself and just go to a date to have a great time.
I think the height issue boils down to women's individual preferences.....the women i went out with didn't have a preference regarding a guy's height.
I think us short guys, just have to accept a women's preference and go with the flow....there is someone out there for everyone....just don't get hung up on this height issue. | |

Posted: 12/22/2007 11:04:31 PM | im short and ive stayed away from women who look like they like tall men which is most! im not realy ready to hear someone tell me im too short like it is a defect! and to good job on this!
but one thing that has changed, im 5'8 and im extremely strong.......in fact im a cage fighter and ive been doing it for 3 years now and im 14-0 no losses and ive went against poeple 2 times my size but that didnt mean anything. some women these day's prefer a tall guy because of the reasons you stated.....but imo i think they just like to look up not down.....im not ok with it but what can i do......not a darn thing so ill stick to women talking to me so i dont get shut down! just how i do things. | |

Posted: 12/22/2007 11:54:09 PM | Cute reply Coastergal, loved it. Also Vanessa from Canada, I agree with you, preference.
I am 5'9"; have dated women taller than me and enjoyed it, as did they while we were together (everyone is the same height in water) so I don't discriminate.
And if you are wearing 6" heals, most women go for 2"; 3" or perhaps 4" heals, but even if you were wearing 6" heals and 5'3" you would not be taller than me. Yet I have seen women out here that were only 5'0" - 5'4" that would not date someone under 6'. LOL, what a preference (and artifically limiting the size of your dating pool).
And if you are worried about procreation (some might want their children to be taller) My ex wife was only 5'6"; I was the tallest in my family growing up. Yet our children where all over 6'0" by the time they were 13, personally I think its something in the water, or growth hormones in the dairy products, but both of us did have Aunts and Uncles over 6'0"; so it could be genetic.
Let's see at my age, I would only consider having additional children for the next 4 - 6 years, after that the baby creation business is over...LOL So if that is important to you, better contact me sooner and not wait 4 years....
Based on slow turn around in responses to emails and the difficulty with meeting in person, it might take that long to find the special woman of my dreams anyway. | |

Posted: 12/23/2007 12:06:10 AM | | Women specifically looking for tall men tend to be boring anyway. They don't have much to say about anything except the latest celeb gossip they catch up on at the check out isle. So nothing lost there. | |

Posted: 7/13/2008 12:43:11 PM | Most women seem to like short fat guys and I see alot cute women with short fat guys.
Im 6'5" tall 200 pounds and a 36" waist and cant find a woman.
Tall men live longer and are in better shape so why do short fat guys get all the women? | |

Ok, thats certainly her right, but it sounds like pretty stupid logic to me.
Maybe men should take back the high heel since it was originally invented by men for men. High heels originated in France as male footwear around 1500. Raised heels are stated to have been a response to the problem of the horseback rider's foot slipping forward in stirrups while riding. The "rider's heel," was approximately 1-1/2" high. The simple riding heel gave way to a more stylized heel over its first three decades.
Beginning with the French, heel heights among men crept up, often becoming higher and thinner, until they were no longer useful while riding, but were relegated to "court-only" wear. By the late 1600s men's heels were commonly between three and four inches in height.
Not until 1533 did women start wearing heels. High-heeled shoes quickly caught on with the fashion-conscious men and women of the French court, and spread to pockets of nobility in other countries. The term "well-heeled" became synonymous with opulent wealth.Both men and women continued wearing heels as a matter of noble fashion throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. When the French Revolution drew near, in the late 1700s, the practice of wearing heels fell into decline in France due to its associations with wealth and aristocracy. Throughout most of the 1800s, flat shoes and sandals were usual for both sexes, but the heel resurfaced in fashion during the late 1800s, almost exclusively among women.

Also, since this is in the sex and sexuality section I should have referenced this and said that I am a shorter than average heterosexual male. So this post is based completely on men being taller. | |
