Consolidated Discussion - A man's/woman's height in the search for relationships

Does that mean you might commit suicide?

How about a group suicide?

 

I can make up a batch of coolaide.

Stick with Oriental and Hispanic women and let the white women breed with brotha's and big football players. Look at the current president who is tall and look at where the country is headed. Weather the storm shortie because in the long run you will come out ahead. In a hundred years whites will be the minority and hugely outpopulated by Latinos and Asians who are short. This whole obsession with height has been generated by the western media and wont last when the empire falls.

:lmao:

5'8" is fine. the avg height for men is around 5'9" or 5'10"

 

Absolutely depends on where you're at, though. In Germany, the Netherlands or Scandinavia 5'8'' is considered straight up short, the average height is far above 5'9''. Me, I'm 5'6'' and I never meet healthy young white men my size. It is in fact quite common that my hair doesn't reach the chin of the next guy.

 

Mexicans and other so-called minorities really lower the average height in the US. Nordish guys in Europe are much taller.

I am a 31 year old male of Greek origin and grew up in Australia. I am 165cm or 5ft5. I say the Greek in Australia because we are shorter in general and there are people of many nationalities here (shapes and sizes).

 

I have dated taller and shorter women. It's really about who you are and to be honest it's an advantage to be short because if they do not like shorter men then they won't date me so it's easier to filter out women.

 

Make your so called weakness or insecurity into your strength and that positive energy will attract people to you and women will see that in you.

I still can't fully understand why height is even an issue for some women. For me personally in the first few seconds, when I see a man that catches my attention, its honestly not his height that i notice first. Im looking at the whole package: face, hair, eyes, brows etc. But also grooming, and clothing too actually. In light of all those, height is irrelevant IMO.

Does that mean you might commit suicide?

 

Honestly, I don't know how close I am to that. All I know is that I've seriously lost my internal confidence in myself, and I'm very sensitive to praise, which I regularly get; which just eats me up even more. Sometimes I just want to be normal.

 

The way I work is somewhat phenomenal, I'm a very objective person and rarely has my personal life spilled into my work and professional life.

[Sun Devil]

Silicone, you said that you were confident yet you can't guarantee your own safety. That does not make sense

Inside, I am a tower that's about to collapse. Outside, it's a very different story.

Some women won't mind your height, and some women will. Just like some men care more about chest size, or hair color, or whatever their concern is about women. The dating pool is tough for a guy at 21...but it will get easier as you get older--trust me. Upwards of 25, women will be way more concerned about what kind of husband and father you'll make than how tall you are; and the right one will love you just the way you are. I know plenty of short men who've done just fine for themselves.

[mysunflower]

Women mostly want a guy not shorter than them. Then you just have to find 5ft under girls.

There's only two girls I've met that meet that criteria. One dates 6'2" exclusively, whilst the other had a crush on me.

[bac]

They were not famous/wealthy at the begining, but their height was the same.

 

Hugh Hefner - 5'9"

Justin Bieber - 5'7"

Tom Cruise - 5'7"

Many others

[trevzilla]

Meh, Tom Cruise is short and crazy and he does all right

I don't know what the purpose of this thread is, but the responses in THAT thread are similar to the responses of similar threads here.

 

Most women don't give a ****...some say it matters. Just as many say it's a stupid topic.

[ThaWholigan]

There are some hot women on that site

[fortyninethousand322]

If you're a short guy, just tell women that you're not "short"; those missing inches just went somewhere else on your body...

[SteveC80]

Black women seem to judge height by NBA player standards

[Feelin Frisky]

If he has to raise his arms to carry your shopping bags he's probably too short. But some of those little fellas pack an over-sized canon betwixt their stumps.

I've been interested in this girl, first time ive been interested since my break up. I play music in a small 4 piece funk group and we are the house band at a small coffee shop so we get tons of people in and out of the shop. well over the past month this girl has been there every wednesday when we play, ive caught her staring at me (before we play, and after) with a smirk on her face, all my friends told me she was into me but i denied it even though it was obvious, i recently started talking to her and it was confirmed by her friend that she is defiently into me, "i think he is sooooo good looking and adorable" but she went on to say to her friend (who is my friend aswell) that she thinks shes taller then me, I'm a shorter guy, 5'6. I am indeed taller then her though, this was an issue in my past relationship during the first year, but she got over that. She went on to say she's normally interested in guys taller then her. She doesn't know that i know she likes me.. do you think this height thing will be an issue? Im really interested in her, first time ive been interested in a girl since my last relationship that ended 2 months ago but started 4 years ago!

[KungFuJoe]

Yes. No. Maybe?

[yongyong]

she likes you. why are you trying to kick her away due to your insecurity?

[miss_jaclynrae]

Trust me, if it was a problem... she wouldn't be eye-effing you.

[KungFuJoe]

Damn yongyong...I think that's the first post of yours I ever liked.

 

You just turned my world upside down....

[rushingwaters]

Height isn't a big issue for me as long as he's at least my height. An inch shorter is okay too but if his height throws me off, then I would start to feel uncomfortable. There are more important factors like personality, sense of humor, intelligence/ambition, etc.

 

Don't let it bother you. She might notice that you're not super tall but that doesn't mean she's not attracted to you. She probably mentioned it to her friend because she wants her friend's opinion on it. A lot of girls worry that her friends will not approve of her guy.
