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

[Jane2011]

Benevolent?!

 

She's a woman who is only five feet tall who prefers to date men who are almost a foot taller than her. She is the worst kind of woman and exemplifies what is so wrong about dating as a short man.

 

Short men really can't get a break. Very few women want a guy shorter then them. So tall women are automatically ruled out. Most women want a guy several inches taller then them, while she's in heels , so women around our height are ruled out, then we have short women which seem they would be ideal but nope, they are even more picky about height than the medium height women.

 

Give me a f-ing break.

 

Yeah, I've dated three or four guys who were 5'10" or 5'11", two or three others who were 5'9". I really liked it...

 

Life is good.

[Ursa]

First of all, would you even date a man who was six inches shorter than you? Didn't think so.

Also, I already said that I think it's ridiculous when the man is much taller than the woman. That goes the other way as well.

 

Being with a woman much taller than myself. would make me feel like a child. It would also stir up all kinds of feelings of insecurity.

 

Not to mention that just about everything would be really awkward do to the height difference.

 

Ideally I want to date a woman +/- three inches of my own height, does anything seem unreasonable about that?

 

While women, seem to only want men 5 or more inches taller than her, for reasons I have no idea why.

First, I would advise you not to ask people questions and then answer them yourself. It's an extremely ineffective communication technique, and then you just look like an ass when you're wrong--which you are.

 

Secondly, your assertion that she is the worst kind of woman made me laugh. A short woman who likes tall men, but will also date shorter men, is THE WORST kind of woman? If only that were so--and if only similar values held true for the men, and the worst and most dastardly of men the world over were guilty only of preferring women with large breasts. Oh, what a golden age we would be living in.

[Jane2011]

I'm very attracted to short guys! Lots of us petite girls are! Not all want super tall guys, but a lot of us won't discriminate in that direction either!

 

My last two boyfriends were short. We matched up well in bed, too!

 

I agree and am the same way. He won't listen to you, though.

He doesn't care about me having been crazy for short guys. As long as I say that 5'10' and 5'11" is an "ideal" male height in a general sense, my liking and dating short guys is irrelevant and even canceled out, apparently.

[Quiet Storm]

I'm only 5'2" and married a man almost a foot taller.

 

We might look awkward to others, but we fit perfectly together, IMO.

 

I can honestly say I am much more attracted to tall men. I do think there are many attractive shorter men, but for me personally, I wanted a taller guy.

 

I think it's just an instinct that we are not even consiously aware of. I do like to feel safe and protected. I also wanted to have taller boys, and my 15 YO is already 6'2" with a size 13 shoe.

 

I do see why short men would be bothered by this, but it is not up to short women to change their preferences so that men have more choices.

 

Look at the guy Jennifer Lopez is dating. He is very short, but he still has that swagger quality. That's what short guys need to work on- their confidence, attitude and the way they carry themselves. The short guys that pull hot chicks usually always have that aura about them. Girls won't be attracted to short guys that are obviously self conscious about it. You have to work with what you've got, and maximize your other assets like looks, body, personality. An outgoing, bold, brave and positive short guy should have no issues with the ladies.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I can think of a lot worse than preferring to date someone who's taller or shorter than you. Why the hate?

[ThaWholigan]

SMH. Whiney little bitches . I'm no macho man but these guys are embarrassing. I haven't seen so much bitching from guys since I left performing arts college on Sundays.

 

You guys really could do something about your predicament instead of conceding all of your personal power in such an embarrassing fashion. Crying because women won't date you "because you're short", it's not because your short. It's because you yourself feel inferior. And your inferiority complex which you think you hide so well, speaks great volumes about you.

 

I am honest about my flaws and honest about the bull**** that both genders get up to, and I know that it's within my power to adapt and do as well for myself that I can, and I actually believe I will be successful at everything. That's the kind of attitude you guys need to have.

 

Stop bitching, it's embarrassing.

[reallyhotguy]

Oh, and Stung makes an incredible point. How is this different from your own stated preference of women with larger breasts? I recall you going as far as to say that you have trouble being attracted to a woman with smaller breasts, and that it would be a persistent issue in a relationship.

 

What's going on here?

[Hetzer]

Oh, MY post sounds like projection, hm?

 

Funny, I was about to say the same thing to you.

 

For the record, I have dated several men who were shorter than me. It's not something I care enough about to make an issue of. But then, I've never been presented the opportunity to choose between a child molesting, bedwetting cannibal and a man whose eyes were slightly below the level of my own. Obviously, that is the exact kind of decision women realistically struggle with every day, when they can take the time off from popping their gum and twirling their hair around their fingers, and your perspective is completely logical and unbiased.

 

 

The point was to show to what extent height matters to the vast majority of women. A few individuals who claim to not care doesn't disprove the fact that 95% of women won't date a guy who is close to their height (whether shorter or taller) , and hence why shorter guys don't bother to hit on a woman that's 6 feet tall.

 

People have such a hard time understanding this concept called tendencies. Just like a lot of places won't rent to people on the Sex Offender registry due to likeliness of a repeat offense, a lot of guys don't bother hitting on women taller, the same height or slightly shorter, due to likelihood that they will reject you by default.

 

 

If you want to make an argument grounded on facts, be my guest. If you're going to pretend men care about height even remotely as much as women, then you are simply a liar. There is nothing like the height thing in all the dating world, arguably, there's even a sizeable portion of men who are willing, hell, PREFER to date a fat chick. Again, no such thing for the guys who are a little shorter than average, atleast not in measurable numbers.

 

We do have 4'11 and 5'0 girls like Jane who are kind enough to self-sacrifice and date a guy 5'6-5'9 as long as we are far superior to a guy 5'11 in every other way. So I guess you're right, it's not a big deal, MAN UP.

[Jane2011]

Re-post: (addressing the ridiculous notion that a 5'6" guy has to exceed a 5'10" guy in "every single way")

================

 

I'm saying I would choose a guy who was 5'6" over a guy who's 5'10" if I like the guy who is 5'6" more. Liking/loving someone entails so many things and so much in general -- some of it completely intangible -- and not all of it easy to categorize (like # of languages spoken, income, education level, amount of hair on head, food preference, # of times one exercises per week, and a lot of other easy to determine categories). I could like a guy who is 5'6" more than a guy who is 5'10" even if he is "less" than the 5'10" guy in a lot of ways (like education level, # of languages spoken, level of athleticism, whatever), as long as I like the guy's general essence more. I can't describe how that would happen, but it can and does. Attraction is intangible things, too. Maybe the 5'6" just has a more attractive demeanor and I find him sexier, even though he makes less money than the taller guy, even though he's got less friends, even though he's read fewer books.

 

You seem to think the ONLY way a guy who's 5'6" could ever win out over a taller guy is if he is equal to or exceeds him in every possible category. You like to think that way so that you can think of life, dating, relationships, and women as utterly impossible.

 

But it's absolutely not the case that you have to exceed a taller guy in every possible way in order for a woman to love you over him.

 

If you really think that, you don't understand attraction or having feelings for a person.

Thawholigan, you used to be kind of a cool guy. Now you are just like the fruit salad Kaylan , simply agreeing with whatever the Feminist clique has to say.

 

Again, I ask you Wholigan, if your way is so much better than ours, where the **** is your girlfriend? In fact, aren't you a VIRGIN?

 

Don't be dismissing the experiences and complaints of men who actually go out there and date, when you yourself don't even know what a vagina feels like.

If you are so concerned with creating a world of only tall men, then 5'2 Quiet Storm should've volunteered herself for sterilization. You see, a man gets 2 seperate sets of DNA in combination deciding physical traits. You realize there was a good chance one of your sons would've been short (or what you would call short).

 

You "lucked out", but what would you have done if your son grew up to be short just like mom? Loved him less? Given him up for adoption? Killed him?

 

Ahh yes, it's politically correct to feel like you Quiet Storm. But what do people say about weirdos who have an equally strange fetish, say an Asian fetish? They're creeps. Imagine some guy salivating at the prospect of his children having little slanted eyes saying "I always wanted children that looked Asian". The whole world would condemn them as "creeps".

 

But you, it's ok. It's pc, it's safe to have a "preference you can't control" (AKA, 1 specific trait that gets you off in a way as irrational and creepy as a guy with an Asian fetish).

 

BTW, the guy J-LO is dating, is completely ripped, an amazing 'dancer', and half her age. Yet J-LO's the one getting the "short-end" of the stick?

Now I'm glad I'm not a short guy. The post start to sound insulting.

I have my own opinions about ****, I don't need you or anyone else to back it up . You can bring up virginity all you want, the difference is, I'm not sitting here whining like a pussy on the internet.

 

I can be cool all the time if I wanted to, but I get tired of reading the same old **** on every forum I go onto.

 

The reason why my way is better than yours is because I'm sitting at my computer screen with this on my face:

 

 

I have nothing to complain about. So I don't. And as a result, I will get what I want out of life soon enough. I would hope that you won't still be trolling these forums with your pro-nazi sentiments and still angry because you think being short (5 foot 8 isn't even that short ) is why women aren't giving you the time of day. I don't actually dislike you (don't care for number of your views), nor do I dislike Somedude. In fact, I want you to go out, get laid and be successful. The longer you sit on here and bitch, the angrier you are going to be.

 

Meanwhile, my situation isn't ideal, but I'm comfortable where I'm at. So while I'd rather not dismiss anyones experiences, that doesn't mean that my observations are any less valuable than yours.

 

Besides, guys shorter than you get laid all the time. Whatever is holding you back, it's not your height.....

[jobaba]

Hmm. I'm a six foot tall woman. This thread is full of shorter men who are angry at women for stating they have a height preference that the shorter men don't match--yet every single one of these men has stated outright that he would not date a woman of my height. What's most interesting to me, is that each of these men protests vehemently that there isn't any hypocrisy there, when to me (and several other posters, apparently) it's so clear it's practically shining. Should I be outraged that men who hate women who don't date men their height, won't date women my height? Should I hate those men? No, I'm just kind of wearily amused--I mean, I have seen this thread a dozen times before.

 

For whatever it's worth, I can understand the sensitivity displayed around the world "spoiled" earlier--although I do think that the unfortunate word choice blinded many posters to that female poster's ultimate message, which was actually pretty benevolent. I would suggest that the posters who took umbrage at the use of the world spoiled keep this episode in mind the next time they suggest that women can "upgrade" themselves by getting surgery on their breasts. Few women will happily embrace the idea that men consider their natural human selves upgradable with exchangeable parts, like a gaming console. Just a tip.

 

Yea. Its' tough for tall ample boned women. Definitely.

 

That is more the equivalent of a short man than a short woman.

 

 

I think the difference is ... after high school, those tall women eventually get approached.

 

While short men have to face lots of rejection. Rejection brings on bitterness.

 

But it's just as tough to be a 6'1" big boned woman I'm sure.

You with your little nazi avatar should either accept that some people conduct a personal genetic selection or you remove that picture if you don't want to like a pathetic hypocrite.

[verhrzn]

I have never understood the double standard of short guys who complain on this board... They thrash and throw tantrums over the fact that not ALL women will date short men (and ignore several posts of women who say they'd happily date short men, or how they know plenty of short men who don't have any problems in the dating world)... while at the same time maintaing they shouldn't be forced to date ugly or fat women (or women with small boobs.)

 

Yet again, only men should get to have standards, right? Every man is entitled to an attractive female, and females has no choice in the matter?

[Hetzer]

You with your little nazi avatar should either accept that some people conduct a personal genetic selection or you remove that picture if you don't want to like a pathetic hypocrite.

 

 

There are lots of lies about so called "nazi genetic selection". In the third reich, it was mostly related to breeding out heritable illnesses, which I see nothing wrong with (neither did America, with a much stricter racial eugenic policies such as the 1 drop rule). But in comic book style British war propaganda, it was suggested that they extended it to things like height, hair color, eye color, etc. None of that is true but it's taught in movies, books, and other forms of pop culture (and even by academia, for political reasons) as fact.

 

Worship of tall guys over everything else is native to the Anglo world, and while women everywhere prefer a guy taller than them, the baseless awe felt for the tall is something very British/American.

[dasein]

It's a fact, being short is an extreme disadvantage in the dating world, regardless of what LS posters -say- about whom they would or wouldn't date. They have just as much right to vent and complain about it on a dating board as any of us has to complain about any of our dating issues.

 

If there were some rational basis in the preference, sure, but the "I feel safer more protected" rationalization wears thin and IMO is window dressing.

 

Have posted before and feel free to disagree, but IMO the preference of women for tall men is mostly about vanity and fashion. A tall BF looks better with her outfits, heels, more like a fashion shoot than her standing next to a shorter man. A tall BF also plays better among her competitive female friends as a badge of social value. Vanity, plain and simple, which is a very poor basis for a preference.

[fallenenvy]

im really short.. even for a woman... coming in at a staggering 4'11. small frame but EXTREMELY curvy....i can't help the fact that i always liked larger guys.. and i don't mean necessarily taller. I prefer a guy with some meat (and maybe even a tiny bit of pudge) on his bones... relative to his height.. i've dated guys from 5'5 to 6'1... my current bf being 6'1 and beefy. I know i look odd with a huge guy..and sexual positions that don't involve a bed (such as showers!) are all but impossible.. but hell i dont care...

 

I don't go around picking men solely for how tall they are... although i guess im a horrible shorty going out and stealing someones tall guy instead of dating some guy thats little so he can have a gf...

 

crazy.

 

i don't see whats wrong with having a preference. i wouldn't go hating on a guy for wanting a girl with a big ass or tits..

[Hetzer]

Well the reason I want a woman with big boobs is because I want to have big tittied daughters. I can't change my preference, it's something I can't control. My daughters 15 years old and already a C cup, I can't wait to see them get even bigger.

 

Of course what I just wrote is a satire of the infinite number of women like Quiet Storm who say creepy things like that and nobody cares. But I'm sure your initial reaction to me would be to berate me, had I not cleared that up.

[Hetzer]

Yes I will bring up your virginity, because it shows your radical inexperience with women and hence why your opinion doesnt count on these matters.

 

Your a tall virgin whose never had a girlfriend. Who are you to dismiss shorter guys who have consistently had issues with women they know over their height and are pissed off about it?

 

Besides, we're both on the internet bitching. Your bitching is simply in support of the bitches here who say there's nothing creepy about fetishists like Jane and Quiet Storm. Most women have this weird fetish, and treat men as tall-objects. See, I can play the Feminist game just like the lesbo Dworkin protege Verzhn.

I don't care if people have fetishes. You will never see me complain about men and what they prefer or want. If a man likes big boobs, big ass, skinny, Asian...it doesn't bother me one bit.

 

Of course I would have loved a short son. I have two and my youngest is only eight, he's short. And I love him. He is one of the tallest in the class but maybe he'll stop growing young. I'll love him just the same. However, if my short son was whiny about it, I'd be telling him to get over himself.

 

When I met my husband, and was attracted to his height, maybe my 15 year old brain was subconsciously acting on instinct. To make the next generation taller. That's what I meant. Just like men across all cultures prefer a low waist hip ratio in women. There was a study that even blind men prefer a low waist hip ratio. So in essence, I think our brains are programmed to like certain things. Of course we can override that instinct, but why? I should override my instinct to prefer tall guys just so short guys feel better? I sympathize with your plight, but come on.

 

J Lo's boyfriend is playing up his other assets. Most short guys won't have to go that extreme. But seriously, women can feel insecurity radiating from some men, and it's not attractive. No matter what your shortcomings, focusing on them and getting mad about things you can't change won't help. A lot of women are going to prefer taller men, but there are a lot that don't. Just find those ones.

Granted, I am inexperienced, I'll give you that. Doesn't stop me from having an opinion. I could quite easily say that your opinions on black matters that you have espoused on occasion don't count because you aren't black.

 

Your a tall virgin whose never had a girlfriend. Who are you to dismiss shorter guys who have consistently had issues with women they know over their height and are pissed off about it?

 

I haven't dismissed shorter guys at all. What I have said is that your height isn't your problem. Pretty much EVERY short guy I have known does EXTREMELY WELL with women. So I admit that I have no concept of why your height is giving you trouble, not because I'm tall, but because short guys always do well whenever I have seen them.

 

Besides, we're both on the internet bitching. Your bitching is simply in support of the bitches here who say there's nothing creepy about fetishists like Jane and Quiet Storm.

I have shown support to my OWN theory that short women can like who they want, same as short men, tall men, tall women and dwarves. Besides, I haven't "bitched" on the internet since my early days at HHBoard . I'm too old for that ****. So are you.

 

I think we are done here.

I recently discovered that I want him to be able to kick ass. Being a woman, small, younger looking, pretty, but not stunning, I usually have to rely on my wit and my sharp tongue to gain respect with people. Recently, it hasn't been working that great and I'm starting to believe now that it would be much easier being a guy and tall! To hell with peaceful conflict resolution!
