meerkat stew Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Lots of women share men. Ever wondered why married men have women throwing themselves at them? because women desire men that other women desire. It means there's a larger and larger pool of men getting nowhere with women.. A woman would rather share her "ideal" man than have an less than ideal male all to herself. The above is true, and was a real eye-opener for me to what degree it's true when I first read the book "The Game." (which is not a PUA manual and has a very good message for both men and women).

LDR Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Well, in my case I would prefer to be alone than having to "settle" for a man that didn't satisfy me, and I don't mean look-wise only, I mean personality wise. I am sure a guy wouldn't want a woman to be with him, just because she didn't find anything better. Women take into consideration many things, and assign more value to traits other than height. . . I am sure that not all of those married men that you say woman share are 6 feet tall or more. Link to post Share on other sites
PinkToes Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Kind of vague. Yeah, do show me more 'evidence'. Don't hold your breath. I'm still waiting for the studies showing that 99% of all women prefer tall men. BTW, I read every word of the link posted, and it isn't exactly good news for women, either. This little article contradicts every man on here who insists he would be totally happy if only the "average" women would go out with him. But that point would be easy to miss if you were only looking for information that supports one side of the coin. Link to post Share on other sites

And when a guy on here said that he and his friends were extremely picky about looks and I quoted that as that went against what most of the 'women hate short men' guys are saying, I got no reply.

PinkToes Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Check out my youtube link, its' from 20/20... It doesn't say what height they like, but ho wmuch they dislike short guys. Is that the one that interviewed only 4 women? There are more than 4 women on this site who disagree. I still think the problem is where men are meeting these women. For every women who dismisses a man for being too short, there's a man dismissing a woman for not being attractive enough. The speed dating study confirmed that as well. The first cut in a bar situation can be brutal for both genders. The men I've dated who were shorter than me probably wouldn't have sought me out in a club either, but once we got to know each other, the superficial stuff became insignificant, for both of us.

Sweetie1977 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I prefer Tall Men but i know plenty of women who would date shorter guys The short guys on here who want to make extreme examples to make their point dotn realize how idiotic they sound My guess is they are probably blind to the fact they cant get women because maybe theyre ugly or have the personality of a sloth not becasue of their height Link to post Share on other sites
betamanlet Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Let's ask this another way. Do you think that short women are at the same advantage/disadvantage that short men have in the dating world? Who is more likely to get more dates, a 5'0 tall woman or a 5'0 male?

OpenGL Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Lets expand this even further. Who has more trouble dating? A 4'10 woman, or a 5'6 man? BTW, 4'10 is 6 inches below average for a woman, and 5'6 is 4 inches below average for a man. Link to post Share on other sites

OF course height is more important to women then Men just like ass size is more important to Men or whatever other feminine trait,height is a masculine trait women are the shorter gender so of course a women for the most part would like for her man to be taller Yes allot of women prefer Tall Men,allot dont care were all different Do you realize how dumb some of you sound trying to make your point in extremes saying no short Man has ever gotten a women:rolleyes: You probably have other faults you dont want to come to grips with not height thats keeping you with women Link to post Share on other sites

brock25 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Oh please. Guys are generally more visual and care more about looks than women do. Yes women, do care about looks, but a little less than men. I disagree. I think women in general care about looks just as much as men do. The primary difference is that some women may make an exception and date an less attractive man just because he is rich, famous, or powerful. As for height, it's not impossible for a short man to find a date. But being short does limit your potential dating pool. Especially on dating websites. Link to post Share on other sites
cognac Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I don't get it, where are all these women who don't care about height on this forum that you are talking about? The only posts I read by women are ones that say "I like tall guys, but my friend of a cousins friend's dog thinks a 5'7 guy is cute". The other ones who say they don't care, are by women who are...dating guys that stand at 6'3:lmao:! I have to say, I agree that the majority of males my age I see with girlfriends tower over the girl. Go out and the other guys I see with girlfriends are 6' and up, maybe a handful of 5'10 guys, but the rule is the taller the more women. Even if you're boring nerdy or a loser. Before you say it's my attitude...it seems that whenever I go out, very overweight women and gay males don't seem to have a problem with my height. They start talking to me and flirting with me but I'm sorry I'm not overweight or gay at all . After enough going out this weekend to places packed with young people my age and giving it my best, I am finally thoroughly convinced that being under 5'9 and male is the worst thing sans serious disability or obvious deformity when it comes to meeting and connecting with women romantically. The couples I see where guys are only somewhat taller than their women are generally older people in their late 20's or 30's. When I see a guy whose only 3 or 4 inches taller than his 5'5 girlfriend I have to take a double take because of how rare it is. Link to post Share on other sites
randall Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Check out the sad truth.. The researcher's final words are: "The main lesson to draw is that life isn't fair." The short guys in this thread need to take this advice and accept that being short is unattractive to women. Most women don't get the same feeling of security or excitement from short men as they do from tall men. Likewise, most men don't have the same feeling of attraction to fat women as they do to slender ones. Weight can be fixed, height can't. Since you can't improve your height then you should look at improving other things instead. Of course this may not be enough to overcome the height disadvantage...but as the researcher in that video said, 'life isn't fair'. Edited January 25, 2010 by randall Grammar.

Since you can't improve your height then you should look at improving other things instead. Of course this may not be enough to overcome the height disadvantage...but as the researcher in that video said, 'life isn't fair'. I don't think it has to do with security. What does the 95 lbs heroin addicted beanpole rockstar women love offer in terms of security? It's more like excitement. Why women think tall guys are so exciting and superhuman, I will never understand (having many tall friends and tall relatives myself), but it is what it is. Why do women think guys under 5'8 are automatically ugly no matter what else? Because life isn't fair. But I suppose where there is a will there is a way. Women will be more forgiving to a man's height if he is very muscular for example. However don't expect the results to be vastly different, but if you have a muscular body coupled with a handsome face perhaps you can expand the pool of people who find you attractive beyond really fat girls and homosexual men. Focusing on your career and getitng a high paying job is also another way to make you more attractive in the eyes of women. Unfortunately for me, I really don't care that much about women enough to become really muscular (can't afford the supplements, high calorie diet, and powders needed for a guy who has a metabolism like mine to get huge ) or completely dedicate myself to work and school. I just don't give a **** at this point because the second. Once in a while I feel desperate and needy for female company to the point of thinking about doing all these "improvements" I don't even want like being a gym addict and saving up for a flashy car, but then I have myself a jerk and all these feelings disappear and I go back to doing things I'm more interested in and pursuing a lifestyle I like. And you know what, seeing as to how shallow women are, I have learned to put myself over any and all women because even the ones who may like me one day are so fickle that what they like will change every 10 minutes.

samspade Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I would just like to share two of my more recent dating experiences. I went out with two different men these past two months. One was all of 5'5 and the other was 5'6 AND heavy (over-weight..whatever you want to call it) and both of them ended up rejecting me. The 5'5 guy I was attracted to. The 5'6 guy I decided to give a chance becaues he was fun to talk to and is a talented muscian. I am in no way ugly and have infact dated men 6+. I work out regularly, I am quite charming, and do not pester men with questions about their baby making abilities. I am not super hot..I am pretty cute though. I get cat-called on the street sometimes. So I am sick and tired of seeing the average guys here complain how the super hot chick doesn't want him. Boohoo. Sometimes the average 5'6" or less guy doesn't want the girl either. Which is fine. Because I am not broken hearted over these guys. But I liked them both enough to at least want to date them longer and get to know them. Neither was interested in me for the same. I am just sharing this to point out the fact that 5'5" guys reject too. And that they are not just rejected. Both of those guys would have been lucky to be with me. And I don't say that arrogantly at all. There will always be self-defeating men who reject themselves before they give the woman a chance to. They'll always come here to complain about women. Some of them will never learn. These types of guys are like crabs in a barrel - when one tries to get out, the others pull him back in. Their lot in life is to settle for less-attractive women (physically or otherwise), settle into a "provider" role, and put up with a lot more b.s. than they ever should. Too bad for them, I guess.
