Intersting. While I am not suprised at the club experiment, I think there are always exceptions to the rule.
Yes, its a uphill battle for the vertically challenged, I will admit that, but its not a showstopper unless you let it be.
I chose, to change what I could, in my body and in my attitudes and it has worked. Maybe some people will shut me down, but its really thier loss, not mine. Some guys will chose to be angry over the way they are treated as a result of their height, weight, build, hairline,****size, and the list goes on.
I think its up to the guy on how he plays the cards he has been dealt. I chose to play to my strenghts, wich are my build, my personality, my mind and adventerousness. I really think its who you are, not who you arnt that should matter. If you spend your time obsessing on the unfairness of it all, you will reek of bitterness and insecurity, and nothing is a bigger chick repellant.
So, Babs and I will probably never hook up becasue she wont look twice at me. Thats fine. I dont hate her for that, thats who she is. I understand her needs for feeling secure and what she has found to meet that need. I might debate it with her, but see no need to condemn her for her stance either. | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 12:27:55 PM | | I'm getting a laughed out of some of the responses regarding height. Luckily I'm 5'10" so I fall right in that average area in terms of height. What do most of you women think about baldness? I think if I were to pick one area that I have trouble with it would be that one considering I went from gorgeous wavy brown hair to ... well nothing. I shave it most of the time now othewise I look much older then I should. | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 12:59:05 PM | | Let's hope your right about that hehe. I've always been a little insecure about it because when I was younger I was a model and women used to always stare. Now I have to work a lot harder and I always attribute that to the bald head. Its probably my insecurity keeping them away though! | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 1:56:08 PM | | One of my best male friends is 5'2", still single - he's almost 40 - I must admit I feel sorry for him - unfortunately for him what Babylonia says is correct. Most women just won't date men shorter than they are - I also agree that women are not shallow because of this - everyone has their preferences - most men for instance like slim to average women. Personally I'm 6'4" so the height thing has never been an issue for me but I also tend to be on the slim side and many women do not like that either. I don't hold that against them - I know some women that do like slim men. It is kind of strange though - the women attracted to me have always been short like between 5' and 5'3" I guess tall women don't like me!! | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 2:17:45 PM | Then why is it I have the hots for a woman, she could be a tall leggy woman, or a short sweet and petite woman. I mean, I know they are tall, but that doesn't bother ME.
I like tall women for some reasons, and average to short for others. | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 2:36:36 PM | | Well we weren't talking about YOUR preferences, we were talking about hers - I have no doubt you are attracted to women of all different shapes and sizes - besides attitude matters more to me anyway although its just as well tall women dont like me - I get intimidated enough by the 5' ones - I dunno how I'd handle a 5'8" one!! | |

Posted: 4/6/2005 10:05:16 PM | I have to agree with Babylonia and verycdn on this one.
I am 5'10'' and prefer the taller guys (6'0'' - up). It is a shame though... there are so many cute shorter (than me) guys out there! I even dated a short-chubby guy in the recent past but it was too awkward. I guess I have the movie image stuck in my head: girls should look up when they are kissed, not down. I didn't break up with him because of the way he looked --I obviously didn't mind much when I started dating him-- but rather because I moved back to my country (plus he was separated and had a daughter... I'm too young for such a complicated love life! But that's another story...).
So I guess it could happen: short guys dating taller girls. Personally, I don't think I would do it again.  | |

Posted: 4/7/2005 12:26:32 PM | Yah,
I think that is the hardest part about being a shorter guy. Creating a air where the gal will still feel protected and secure.
In some ways, I like the balance I have. My confidence, my strength is tested and proven, but not overbearing. I have a fairly soft personality, but there isnt any doubt in the way I carry myself that I can do more than hold my own when necissary.
What helps a LOT is the fact that I have been doing martial arts and body sculpting for about 20 years (started when I was 13). Balls to bones, I am stronger, faster, and potentially meaner then most of my taller competitors.
Course, barring a life long persuit of physical improvement, I am not sure what advice to get all the other underdogs out there. I think, there are a lot of smart women who are looking for real personality and confidence. Yes, a lot of shorter guys do try harder becasue we have to compensate, and women know that. Its really, about being confident with who you are, not compensating for it.
There is also the concept of choosing your targets. If you are my height, and have a penchant for tall blonde scandinavians.. well, there may be some dry spells. Then again, there are some 4'10" gals that can be described as nothing less than mouthwatering out there, and frankly, they dont always fit well with 6'4" guys. (and having a really tiny gal to throw around can be just as new and erotic as the tall girl fantasy)
I will say one thing tho. Should one of us shorter guys hook up with a taller gal, be ready for some heat. I usually date eye catchers. I have dated outside my race, and am used to all kinds of competitive behaviour from other guys. Nothing comes close to ammount of heat, dirty looks, and covert passes I get to deal with regarding my new girlfriend. Its funny, but the taller guys get really offended that I am with her.. almost like since shes over 6' she should default to guys at the same out of respect for the mutation. | |

Posted: 4/7/2005 3:55:59 PM | | well im fat, so if i judged a guy by his height..id be doing the same thing i hate when guys do about me...I'm 5'8...kinda tall..but no i wouldnt turn down a date with a nice man just cause he was shorter...if he treats me nice, respects me, treats me like a princess...so what if he is shorter...he's be at the perfect height for :) | |

Posted: 4/7/2005 8:41:56 PM | | I don't generally have an issue with a mans hight. But then again I am only 5'1" tall so I don't find too many men that are shorter then me. I prefer a tall man but I wont dismiss someone just becaue they are not 6" either. | |

Posted: 4/19/2005 4:44:44 PM | The thing about short guys is that we have to put up with all the b/s about size (height) doesnt matter ...... I'm 4'11" and I am a doorman in one of Liverpool's top night spots. (Liverpool UK)
Ladies grab a little guy ...... you dont know what your missing
Small is the new large !!!! | |

Posted: 4/19/2005 8:10:17 PM | I am soooooo glad someone has finally brought this up! I am a larger female who is 5'5", and most people tell me that I am NOT fat, but height-weight proportinate... I think that height and weight do go together, although that should NOT be a deal-breaker, It is WHO the person is, NOT how tall, OR how heavy... I actually PREFER larger men...I want something to hold on to! LOL I would like for the man to at least be as tall as I am, But at least be honest in your profile, that is the only way to avoid disappointment when you do meet!
Just a note here: Gentlemen, please don't say that you are Muscular/Athletic when you have a gut and no BUTT! and the next time you read a nice profile, but decide NOT to contact that person, because of size, YOU maybe passing up the love of your life! Get to know that person before you pass judgement! | |

Posted: 4/19/2005 8:11:58 PM | I'm a whopping 5'4" so I don't run into this all that much. My ex is 5'5" and he took issue with me wearing heels....that was kinda dumb.
I've never dated a guy shorter than I am....but I've never been asked by one who was shorter, either.
I like being at eye level with a guy, I like when he's taller too, and I like when he isn't wigged out when I put on my heels and can see right over his head. | |
