Don't you hate when SHORT women require TALL men???

[TheBigQuestion]

...He doesn't kick ass at life. He plays supporting roles in low budget visual piles of sh it like devil and Super Troopers . If Geoffrey Arend was 5'8 instead of 6'5 , he would've killed himself a long time ago (with good reason).

 

There are plenty of 6'5" men on the planet. This one happened to marry Christina freakin' Hendricks. He did something right.

 

Don't you have a lot of not-socializing-with-women-because-you're-too-short to do??

The point is, that inbred looking goof ass has done nothing right. This is the issue I have with modern effeminate society, people defer success in men to how women choose. Christina Hendricks chose this guy, principally, for being tall. Everything else is a foot note and even with his relative small time fame , this Geoffrey Arend would probably die alone if he was 5'7.

 

Isaac Newton, was an amazing man, yet is rumored to have died a virgin. He did a lot of "ass kicking" for the advancement of the human race and its understanding of the world, I guess that means nothing because he didnt marry some famous cum dumpster with huge utters like Christina Hendricks?

Dissing Christina Hendricks? You and I are now mortal enemies.

5'8" here. i met two women out last summer taller than me tell me it would bug them too much to date me because I was shorter.

 

This was AFTER they had sex with me.

 

Gimmie a call, I'm not a-scared.

 

This is how I would imagine things would be OUTSIDE the world of online dating ... in the real world.

 

Woman meets man, is attracted to him, hooks up with him, and only later realizes that their wedding photos would look awkward with him standing on a milk crate.

 

After all, as short as I am, I have seen plenty of very tall women that I am very attracted to. I would be intimate with them in a second. But if they were way taller than me, I'd have to think about being self-conscious about a real relationship.

 

Plus women who have rejected me have thrown themselves over guys who were pretty comparable to my height. Trust me. That hurts even more.

 

I wish I could hang with Phineas and pick his brain about women. Seems like he is able to get the max out of his potential.

What's going on is you're arguing with a guy who thinks the world would be a better place if women weren't allowed to choose who they partner up with. Of course he'll maintain double standards (because women shouldn't have standards at all) and of course he'll fixate on anything that makes him feel like a victim (because admitting that the whole world isn't against you and that you have some power to change your situation is scary).

 

Honestly, I don't think that's precisely the case.

 

There's some obvious trolls on here (like this guy with the Nazi flag, I mean give me a break already). But somedude is just a fearful guy.

 

The details you mention -- victimization, strange standards -- are there. But it's not about subjugating women. (And excuse me, somedude, for talking about you in the third person.) I think he has a problem empathizing with women. He doesn't seem to make the connection that his desires and women's desires are actually very similar, and are governed by the same sorts of cultural rules. As a result, he sees women as an alien other, which is frustrating, because he desires something he doesn't understand (and he doesn't understand that desire). It's not inherently hateful. But only somedude can confront somedude's issues....

Where do you think that comes from, that idea of men/women being The Other? It seems like we all have that philosophy in varying degrees, and that the people who succeed most often at relationships are those who can set them aside. It makes sense... successful dating depends on empathy, and seeing the person sitting across the table from you as an individual of whom their sex is only a handful of defining characteristics.

 

Do you think that the more a person is rejected, the more he/she begins to see women/men as aliens? Or do you think it's the other way around... that the more alien you think the other sex is, the less successful you are at dating?

 

I ask this because I think I also see men as "the other." I just don't get them. But I remember a time when that wasn't the case.... way back in high school, while still learning the ropes of attraction and crushes, I remember seeing and treating guys as individuals. But this (among other things, I'm sure) caused them to reject me... because I wasn't playing "the gender roles" appropriately. I treated them as individuals, instead of men, and thought of myself as an individual, instead of a woman, and got badly burned. So I started to go in the complete opposite direction... subscribing every individual tick to "he's a guy" and living by the rules of "this is how guys act."

 

In a society that encourages deep-seated gender roles, how do you get away from that idea of men/women as "the other"?

[dasein]

feminism

reject feminism

 

I am older than you, probably by at least 15 years. When I was in HS, there was definitely friction between the genders, almost all of it was related to sexual tension, and the various mean, nasty things HS students do to each other. However, gender life had not become thoroughly politicized, and underlying any friction was a basic human respect. Decades of feminism has taken a wrecking ball to that respect by constantly portraying women as an oppressed victim class and constantly portraying men as a criminal oppressor class.

 

Men and women do all kinds of immature things to each other in dating and relationships and always have. Being able to admit accountability is key. Men, by and large, IME are more open to admitting accountability for their foibles than women are, and as long as women perceive themselves as societal victims, this will not change.

[delilah123]

How the hell am I hating on anybody?

 

I'd love to hear some reasons why women don't want to date a short guy.

 

I am 5'2 and I wouldn't date anyone shorter than 5'10.. and massivley prefer 6ft plus. all of my previous boyfriends have been 6ft+ and all have commented how much they prefer shorter girls as well.

 

i think for me it's about feeling protected and safe. i find it a turn on, i generally find them sexier, they seem manlier, and i feel more feminine around them.

 

i have actually been on a ate with a guy who was 5'3 or there abouts and i just felt awkward and totally couldn't help but friendzone him even though he was such a great guy. it's not like i'm choosing to not date them per say, because i can't help that i'm just not attracted to them (and really what guy wants to be with a chick who isn't turned on by him)

This used to be me too. Back when I was in college and after, I expected that I could just get buddy/buddy with a female as INDIVIDUALS in a very casual way and that everything would just happen naturally. I'd meet a gal, we'd both like Indie pop, Mexican beer, and Jim Jarmusch films, we'd be attracted to each other and things would escalate slowly but surely ... and that I'd have a steady stream of the aforementioned women for years to come.

 

Not the case.

 

After the before mentioned 'technique' failed to work, I started investigating things like men needing attitude, non-passiveness, chutzpah, and humor. A lot of the times I face failure, but I've been able to succeed some. And most of the women I've hooked up with really didn't know me that well when they decided to take the plunge.

 

So at least in my case, I definitely see women somewhat as 'objects' that a game has to be played on for me to succeed. Of course after I get them, I'm able to see them more as individuals again. Hope that made sense.

 

I'd rather not play the game that way to be honest with you. Maybe if I were better looking, it'd be different.

Sad as it might sound, I'm almost inclined to say that as long as you respected the guy and truly considered that he could be a friend that might be OK. Some women look so lowly on short guys they won't even consider them as part of their social circle.

 

And women reject men for all kinds of physical reasons other than height anyway.

[somedude81]

Since I'm on my phone I'm going to keep this short.

 

All these women posting about how they prefer a taller man even though she's short herself because she's just instinctually attrated , doesn't want short kids or whatever nonsense basically means that as a short man, I have zero value as a man.

 

Btw, my dad is 5'10. So there goes the crap that having kids with a tall man means that they wont be short.

Cum hoc ergo propter hoc: correlation does not imply causation

 

Why do you think you have no worth as a man, if some women have issues with dating a guy smaller than themselves..? I myself am one of these women btw, but I think theres plenty of women who dont mind dating a guy who is smaller than who they are, and there must be plenty of women smaller than you!

 

Besides theres much more that decides a persons value than how attracted other people are to them.

[udolipixie]

just something that has begun to anger me. i'm 5'8, so not terribly short, but short(er). most of my girlfriends have usually been between 5'2 and 5'5, no taller than that. maybe it's an insecurity thing, most likely in fact, but i don't like girls that are close to my height (heels would put them taller). so basically i'm already picking from say half of the girls (5'5 and under). then i see so many of these shorter girls, on dating sites, say they need a tall man.

 

like who the hell are you? lol that's my initial reaction, most likely irrational (i guess we can all demand certain qualities and shouldn't be judged for them). but i just find it a little ridiculous, that these short girls refuse to date shorter guys. it's a bit lame.

 

No different from:

some fat men refusing to date fat gals

some ugly guys refusing to date ugly gals

some men in their 30s refusing to date women in their 30s

some men in their 40s refusing to date women in their 40s

 

People have preferences or requirements for a partner and as long as it's not illegal or hurting children/animals it's not wrong to me.

 

Most people tend to want better than what they offer and for those that ask for equal in most cases when a trait of theirs is perceived negatively then they won't ask for it in a partner.

 

Always amusing to see how offended most men tend to get with women's height preferences or requirements yet fail to recognize or minimize their own shallowness. Seems like people tend to have a "I can have preferences/standards but you can't" and it's increasingly more common in men than women to me.

[SoleMate]

I absolutely hate seeing girls 5'3 or under with guy who are over 5'10. They look retarded together, and it's like he stole one of the few girls that would be OK dating me.

 

You know, you complain a lot about how other people focus on height, and yet you seem to be very height-focussed yourself. Maybe try understanding your own feelings about other people's heights (and other characteristics like looks etc.) and you may relaize that you and they are not really so different.

 

BTW, I am 5'2" (female) and my boyfriend is 6'4". I think we look good together and we both agree that the other is the perfect size. (I am the shortest woman my bf has ever been in a r/s with, by many inches.)

 

And yes, I do think tall men are attractive, I will admit it. However, in the abstract, I do not requre a tall man. It just so happens that my bf of 7 years is tall. Like most people, I think, I went looking for someone who flipped my triggers in as many dimensions as possible....

To clarify, I don't believe somedude is a troll at all.

 

I'm sorry, somedude, if anyone has read my post that way. I really don't think you're a troll. I think you're a very real person with some very real pain.

 

reallyhotguy, I agree with the rest of your post. As for the bit about wishing women had no choice in the matter, I'm directly quoting what he's wrote and argued himself. He essentially said he wouldn't mind that kind of setup because it would be to his benefit, and that's what matters most. I don't believe he's intentionally mean or degrading, but sometimes the conclusions he jumps to are a bit hateful, IMO. I understand it comes from a place of pain and frustration, but I don't like the thought of enabling those kinds of beliefs, so I disengage most of the time.

It's really all a number's game.

and the older I get, the easier it gets.

 

If I go out and there are women in their late 30's/ early 40's They have their eye on me because 10 to 1 every other guy in the place my age is any where from slight gut to fat slob.

 

i'm not that short & honestly, who is ultimately going to catch a woman's eye?

 

the 6' guy with a belly in a faded quiet riot T-shirt or the 5'8" in a form fitting V-neck stretching the shirt sleeve slightly?

 

I mean c'mon, I dressed in a polo shirt or striped/plain V-neck when I went out & I'd feel over dressed in some places. LOL!

 

I personally only saw my being a fat-ass as the road-block to women. Not height. Once I lost the weight... it's like a whole new world for me.

 

My buddy is about 5'6" skinny as hell. He's always managed to get himself laid growing up. I don't know what it is about him but the women dig him. women taller than him & good looking women also. Though he did like the fuller figured gals but each to his own.

No its not quite the same as these. For instance if ugly guys chose not to date ugly women, that's their choice. If they were then to complain over their lack of options, I would have no sympathy for them. They are not realistic. If short guys where lusting after tall girls and were not having luck because these women wanted to have physical compatibility, again I would not feel any sympathy for them, but short guys being happy with dating short girls, but not having any luck because the short women don't want them, then that's not their choice.

 

If others candidates were filling the breech, by those that were chasing for partners outside their spectrum of the gene pool, then it’s not such an issue. Jono was not complaining about all women, just the short women who have hang ups dating short guys. Short guys don’t mind the short girls wanting a guy a bit taller than them, but when it gets to must be 4" taller when I'm in high heels it starts to piss them off. If other average height women were filling the breech for the short women who needed tall guys to feel special or too feel more girly or to feel more protected or to have taller children, then it wouldn’t be such an issue for them, but that doesn't happen. Short guys already are pretty much chopped out off 50% of the female dating pool to begin with, and thats not factoring in the 'high heels' factor.

 

Someone said its no different to guys who have preference for blonds when she's a brunette which is just ridiculous analogy in terms of the % of the market of guys who would NEVER have any sort of relationship with a brunette because she has dark hair.

 

I reckon the closest analogy would be women over 4o noticing guys around their age having more enthusiasm for settling down with women aged in their 30s. They don't have any control over their age, and its not just a small fraction of guys who find younger women sexier, and yeah older women, aren't all that cool with 'preferences' then. (the consolation being though that reduced options came after their prime yrs)

[udolipixie]

No its not quite the same as these. For instance if ugly guys chose not to date ugly women, that's their choice.

It is the same in the OP the gals chose not to date short men that's their choice. I haven't seen any differing behavior thus far.

 

If they were then to complain over their lack of options, I would have no sympathy for them. They are not realistic. If short guys where lusting after tall girls and were not having luck because these women wanted to have physical compatibility, again I would not feel any sympathy for them, but short guys being happy with dating short girls, but not having any luck because the short women don't want them, then that's not their choice.

It's not their choice.

 

It is the short womens choice to have preferences, standards, and/or requirements in a partner.

 

No one is obligated to like everyone or their equal.

 

Just as you're not obligated to like someone romantically/sexually no one is obligated to like you romantically/sexually.

 

Is this were some supposed difference of it not being the same? The it's not their choice if someone excluded them. In case you missed it that could also apply tot the " it's no different than" things I listed. There may have been fat gals happy to date fat guys, ugly gals happy to date ugly guys, 30s gals happy to date 30s guys, and 40s gals happy to date 40s guys.

 

If others candidates were filling the breech, by those that were chasing for partners outside their spectrum of the gene pool, then it’s not such an issue. Jono was not complaining about all women, just the short women who have hang ups dating short guys.

Which is not different from [blank] guy not wanting to date [blank gal].

Insert blank with fat, ugly, old.

 

Short guys don’t mind the short girls wanting a guy a bit taller than them, but when it gets to must be 4" taller when I'm in high heels it starts to piss them off.

No one is obligated to like someone romantically/sexually or dole out sex or relationships.

 

There are plenty of things that a person may get excluded from a pool or have their pool narrowed by. That doesn't entitle the person or those that have that eliminating factor to be doled out relationships and sex from others or others they want.

 

Someone said its no different to guys who have preference for blonds when she's a brunette which is just ridiculous analogy in terms of the % of the market of guys who would NEVER have any sort of relationship with a brunette because she has dark hair.

It's not ridiculous in terms of analogy if it was that he's a blond and he doesn't want blonde but wants brunettes. As the whole issue is not wanting what you are.

 

What may be considered ridiculous is if the poster had stated the amount who portray this behavior is similar. As likely there'd be is the big difference in how many guys act that way and how many gals act that way.

 

I reckon the closest analogy would be women over 4o noticing guys around their age having more enthusiasm for settling down with women aged in their 30s. They don't have any control over their age, and its not just a small fraction of guys who find younger women sexier, and yeah older women, aren't all that cool with 'preferences' then. (the consolation being though that reduced options came after their prime yrs)

To me the closest analogy is a person who is blank not wanting a person who is also blank with the blanks being the same with the exception of genitals.

 

How controllable the factor is or how many people exhibit the behavior doesn't matter to me. As the OP was about blank gals not wanting blank guys.

[ascendotum]

Short girls are not reducing their options by chasing tall guys, ugly guys refusing to date ugly girls are reducing their options as they are not snagging hot girls. The short guys are not willing reducing their options, it is being forced on them. Its totally different.

 

Which is not different from [blank] guy not wanting to date [blank gal].Insert blank with fat, ugly, old.

Thats were I included the comment from the brunette saying its like some guys prefer blonds or the girl with regular breasts who complained 'some' guys prefer bigger breasts. It depends on how many members of the opposite sex in the singles market have such biases as to whether its an issue to complain about...and what you can do to change that negative. A fat person refusing to date other fat people I think is unrealistic (but at least fatso can diet). An old person refusing to date another old person again is somewhat unrealistic, (but reduced options in your 60s don't compare to reduced options in your youth).

 

No one is obligated to like someone romantically/sexually or dole out sex or relationships.

I agree, does not mean shorter guys dont have a grievance over their female counterparts giving them shortshift, which was the crux of Jono's post. At 5'8 I would'nt call him short though, just not tall.

 

It's not ridiculous in terms of analogy.

It is. you actually pasted the part that explained it! At the very least brunette girls can spend $20 on dye if she and all her brunette friends have been single for yrs while their blond friends are getting swamped with eager guys (1000x easier than leg extension op), thats if that situation where ever likely to occur.

[udolipixie]

Short girls are not reducing their options by chasing tall guys, ugly guys refusing to date ugly girls are reducing their options as they are not snagging hot girls.

Short gals are reducing their options as every preference, standard, and/or requirement that you insist on fulfilling tends to reduce your options.

The short gals are eliminating short guys from their options.

 

There is a mid way between ugly and hot it's average.

 

The short guys are not willing reducing their options, it is being forced on them. Its totally different.

It's not totally different.

A short gal refusing to date a short guy is like an ugly guy refusing to date an ugly gal.

 

The short guys having reducing options being forced on him is just like the ugly gals having reducing options being forced on them.

 

It depends on how many members of the opposite sex in the singles market have such biases as to whether its an issue to complain about...and what you can do to change that negative.

To me that only matters if you are attempting to compare the amount of people who have the behavior. When comparing the behaviors to me it's pretty irrelevant.

 

As for issue to complain about people can complain about whatever they wish in my opinion.

 

AS for what you can do to change that negative outside of forcing people to have preferences, standards, and/or requirements they don't want so that the people who don't fit them can have sex and relationships doled out to them the only alternative to me is choosing from the options available.

 

A fat person refusing to date other fat people I think is unrealistic (but at least fatso can diet). An old person refusing to date another old person again is somewhat unrealistic, (but reduced options in your 60s don't compare to reduced options in your youth).

To me unrealistic standards don't matter. Neither do hypocritical stndards.

 

What matters to me is the whole "I can have stndards but you can't" or "You can only have standards I fit or approve of".

 

I agree, does not mean shorter guys dont have a grievance over their female counterparts giving them shortshift, which was the crux of Jono's post. At 5'8 I would'nt call him short though, just not tall.

Grievance okay.

 

Plenty of people may have grievances with those that exclude them form their sexual or romantic interest.

 

Grievance over something that no one is obligated to give you that doesn't concern legal rights or the safety of animals/children seems a bit wonky to me.

 

It is. you actually pasted the part that explained it!

I pasted the part that explained why it's ridiculous to you.

 

It's ridiculous to you as you seem to have taken an analogy comparing behavior to be equivalent to comparing the amount of people.

 

To me an analogy similar behaviors is not ridiculous. It's only ridiculous if the analogy was trying to compare the amount of people who exhibit the people is similar when it's not.

 

Recall:

It's not ridiculous in terms of analogy if it was that he's a blond and he doesn't want blonde but wants brunettes. As the whole issue is not wanting what you are.

 

What may be considered ridiculous is if the poster had stated the amount who portray this behavior is similar. As likely there'd be is the big difference in how many guys act that way and how many gals act that way.

 

At the very least brunette girls can spend $20 on dye if she and all her brunette friends have been single for yrs while their blond friends are getting swamped with eager guys (1000x easier than leg extension op), thats if that situation where ever likely to occur.

Unless the guy wants a natural blonde then hair dye don't mean nada it's hair dye and lie.

Is he short too?

 

Because shortness is certainly the kiss of death for men. You might as well not even talk to women if you're a short guy.

 

Not my problem. Short girls dig me a lot. They can climb my luscious 6'1" frame like a tree.

 

Bullcrap. It's only the "kiss of death" when short guys don't accept themselves because of their height. When a man is confident in who he is, his height doesn't matter. My dad was only 5'8. He dated women before my mom and when he settled down, he settled down with my mom who was 15 years his junior. And I kind of hate talking about my mom like this but it is true! When she met my dad she was 18, 5'2, long blond hair and 30-something C cup. My brother is also only 5'8. He is very successful in the airport industry and had many ups an downs in dating. But he always seems to have a "type" that he dates which are really feminine willowy girls that are about his height or EVEN (hold on to your hats folks!) taller then himself! Growing up, most of my girlfriends where always telling me how hot my brother was. And he was a shorty! He had friends who where 6 feet! But my friends liked him!

 

So while it's true that girls probably DO like your height. And that even short girls might, it is NOT the kiss of death for men who are shorter. And being tall doesn't automatically make a guy hot! It might be a trait women like sometimes, but it is only one trait part of the entire package and height alone, doesn't mean a guy is always attractive to you.
