burning 4 revenge Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'm just like you and everyone else. Some women think I am "pretty" and some do not. The same goes for you. Do you really want to be with someone who will judge you on your height? Of course not, so don't let it get to you. I don't let it get to me, but its one example of the many double standards in society applied to men that Tan is referring to Link to post Share on other sites

Let someone yell at you and call you shallow for not dating a girl because of some superficial reason and then throw the height card back at them. Link to post Share on other sites

IpAncA Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Five Eight That seems like a good height to me. You could always were shoes that make you a little bit taller. Link to post Share on other sites

IpAncA Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I don't wear high heels I knew that would come back on me. I'm not talking about wearing high heels. There's inserts you can buy that can make you a little bit taller. I'm not talking about anything drastic. Link to post Share on other sites

There are these things called "elevator shoes" or whatever that can give a guy up to 3-5 inches in height. Link to post Share on other sites
tanbark813 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I use to get so furious when I got turned down and looked down upon because of my height. Perhaps thats why there is a UFC. It only bothers me if the girl is mean about it. And then I just harp on some physical feature of hers because I'm vindictive like that. Link to post Share on other sites

CaliGuy Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I dated a woman who was my height (5'8) for a while and she constantly made snide comments about my height. She said she missed being with a man as tall as her husband (6'2), that being with someone taller made her feel more feminine. I would have dumped her right there had she said that to me.

Passionate69 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I also feel the same way,if my man is short i feel like he is not a man and strong enought for me. anyway; to be a strong man, it is not base on how he look or how tall he is. Link to post Share on other sites
AriaIncognito Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 This thread interested me because my most recent ex is the first guy i've ever dated that was shorter than me (and I'm only 5'4"). He was only slightly shorter, but he weighed a bit less and that felt weird to me. I think women need to feel "safe" in their mans arms and it definitely takes more time to feel "safe" with a guy that's smaller than you. I dont have a height requirement really. I've dated from like 5 3 to 6 3. Nothing premeditated. I do tend to prefer men to be at least 5-6 inches taller, just personal preference, but I've never dismissed a guy based on height. I fell hardest in my life for the guy that was shorter than me. So, I learned that books definitely shouldn't be judged by their covers. I never thought I'd fall for him, not in a million years. Of course sometimes I wish I hadn't, but that's neither here nor there... Link to post Share on other sites
Yamaha Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Height is simply a mind over matter thing. If you don't mind, it don't matter. I've had women my height (5'10") call me short. I just laugh. If you see someone for their height and judge them merely based on outward appearances, you've got issues. I've seen short men with tall women, tall men with short women and everything in between. But what I have learned is if your height doesn't bother you, it won't bother anyone else. Totally agree. I am 5' 7" and my gf is 5' 8". She calls me shorty and we laugh and enjoy each other ;)no matter that when she wears heels she is 1/2 a head taller than me. It's all good!!!!!

elaina Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Have you ever noticed that even women who are short (5'2ish) often want guys over 5'10? It's ridiculous Ipanca and Riddler ya'll are so funny! Actually a sense of humor is better than height! Anyways, I do confess Burning 4 Revenge my favorite height for a guy is my boyfriend's height - 5'11'' I am 5'2''. He has a great sense of humor too The reason i like his height is because i like where i fit in comparision to him, if that makes any sense... He is also very handsome. and sweet and gentlemanly and responsible and intelligent and mysterious and intriguing and I could go on and on... but all those things have nothing to do with height. But height and looks arent the main factors, what is more important to me is shared beliefs and chemistry, and yeah his sense of humor. Link to post Share on other sites
