Just read a sad article about height

[sweetheart5381]

I'm really trying to - the only reason I internalise it is because the last time I spoke about it to my gf, it didn't really end well in that I don't think it resolved anything on my side. I'm sort of ashamed that I see it as a big thing. I don't let it affect me, no one would be able to tell that I beat myself up about it.

 

Trust me, in the bedroom it doesn't matter... or the hot tub, or the pool

 

And forget what society thinks.... a tall woman feels just as insecure as you do based on a myth that a man should tower over a woman. It's a physical power thing, something that should not matter at all.

 

Open the mind

No because no one dates short men. Tall women definitely have a fanbase.

Then I've been dreaming all this time?. Mind is blown.

It really didn't matter when I was on top of her, the sexual emotions were extremely intense, it was perfect, she feels perfect, she makes me feel perfect. No single person has done that to me before.

This is pathetic...not your height...but freak'n mankind. I've already posted here after having a height issue myself and seen two councelors. Both told me there is nothing wrong with me, it's the world! And I'm freak'n 5'9"! I can only imagine your pain. Did you know only 13% of American men are 6' or taller? That means women are throwing away almost 90% of guys!

 

Like you I am a well adjusted, college educated professional, well travelled and active in sports and other hobbies. A girl that origianlly hit on me, dumped me after she came right out and asked my height! Then she picked up with a married playa that would make fun of my height, has no education or skills, makes minimum wage and drinks a six pack a day! After months of abuse she comes back to me! I showed her the door and won't even talk to her now. I mean I work with this girl and I walk right past like she ain't there!

 

You can read all the articles you want, see all the couselors you want, post all you want and finish off pint after pint of JD, but it won't change the truth. THERE AIN'T A **** THING WRONG WITH YOU. You don't have a self-esteem problem, you like yourself and you should. The problem women don't like you. Women are genetically tuned this way. It's not logical. It's not fair. It sucks. And not just for you, but the women who have missed out on your company!

 

But there is another truth. Although b***** exist, there are plenty of angles to go around. Look at Michal J. Fox. Tracy Pallord suck with him through his shortness and Parkinson's disease. My landlords are a wonderful couple that have been married for 40 years and raised two tall strong boys. Both are 5'2" tall! Everybody in the neighborhood loves these people. He is one of the people I respect most and go to for advice. I see his shortness, but I when I see it doesn't bother him, it no longer bothers me and I truly see a guy who is 10' tall. This is no BS.

 

So, I would forget the couceling (except it does help to vent), articles, posts and what not. Leg extension surgery when done correctly ($80,000) does work. Some people have done it twice. That is a decision you will have to make, but you would just end up with the shallow type of girl you don't want anyway. Just man up, respect yourself and ignore the BS. I know that is easier said than done, but it is true, you'll have to do it some day and it will get easier with practice.

 

Take note as my landlord proves we are not doomed to wander the earth alone. Being short is a b**** filter, that removes all the human seweage from the ranks and will leave you with that one sparkling gem that will love you and not see your height at all.

 

See, this is the stuff that bothers me the most.

 

The only person that actually matters in opinion is you. Nobody else. When you go to sleep at night, do you think about your height, eye colour, skin colour? I personally love me and all of me. I work on my faults continually, but I respect my body, my heritage and where I came from.

 

Do you feel good about you, about the real you?

 

My son is 15, he is 6' 4", 300 lbs. He feels incredible pressure due to his size. He is non-violent, in Grade 10 but gets called on by little guys to prove his size. He is a serious force and can easily hurt others if he gets angry.

 

Put the shoe on the other foot my friend.

[sweetheart5381]

No because no one dates short men. Tall women definitely have a fanbase.

 

Hell no... that's not true at all.

 

I take people at face-value.... I don't care their height, makes no diff to me.

 

I have been discriminated for my height.... even at 5' 7" (5'9" in heels) most men shorter won't even consider me Lots of great guys pass me up and wont even show interest cuz they are afraid of rejection based on their height.

 

It's silly really!

 

Height is genetic, like eye colour, hair colour.

 

Gotta appreciate the whole package.

[sweetheart5381]

Then stop thinking bout it my friend

 

You got it made in the shade! You have a great girl that doesn't cave to what society tells her she should want/be with size and shape-wise.

 

Appreciate what you have and it sounds like a lot

[yongyong]

Why don't you approach short guys then?

 

does your ego stop you from doing that since women shouldn't approach in general?

 

well in general men should be with a shorter woman

 

If you want to break the rule, you can't just sit there and hope someone does it for you?

 

 

Hell no... that's not true at all.

Going on the internet year ago when i was a teenager and had low sefl esteem and was insecure about my looks height was something i never even thought about.Once i found the internet and foudn out how important height is to women it made me even feel worse about my self then before:laugh:

 

Short guys should avoid the internet love forums and online dating because all it does is make you feeel worse about yourself

This a really saddening thread to read.

 

I dated a man, he was 5'2", I am 5'7" or so never really measured... with heels I can look a 6 foot tall person in the eye comfortably.

 

The man I dated was so self-conscious about his height that he hated me wearing high heels when we went out. I personally love heels on a night out, it is part of the foreplay for me I suppose. It means that romance is in the air... I mean, I wear heels so a man will see my legs, curves and such. He exerted power, got upset and I stopped wearing them. Buzz killer for me.

 

His obsession over his height eventually made me want to break up. He was really insecure about other parts of himself too which bothered me. I want a man that cares about himself and wont feel bad about what he was born with. Hell, I have a huge birthmark on my left leg... but it doesn't change how I feel about myself!

 

Low self-esteem is a serious relationship killer.

 

Its funny how it seems women around 5'7-5'9 dont mind dating shroter men Its usually really short women or women who are the same height or slightly taller then a guy in 5 inch heels who want nothign to do with short guys

[sweetheart5381]

Too tall don't want

 

See even tall guys get discriminated..teehee

 

I hear ya Tall girls are discriminated against too.

 

Too much pressure to fit in is the problem.

 

The solution is to shut off the TV, get rid of the magazines, the media and really get to know yourself.

 

I'm closing in on 40, apparently

I approach any man that I find attractive. I don't care if he is shorter.... he unfortunately does care most of the time. It's frustrating to have a man request that I look shorter just to preserve his societal masculinity. I don't like power and control freaks, even if it because society has influenced him that way. It screams that a man does not have his own mind and is driven more by outside influences than by his own thoughts.

 

I prefer a man that knows himself, respects himself for who he is, rather than his apparent stature.

Funny, was seeing a man for while and his profile said he was 6' tall. I didn't care bout height but it struck me as odd that when we met he was 2 inches shorter than me, even without my heels. He was actually bout 5'5" but felt the need to lie in order to get a date.

 

I prefer honesty personally.

 

Height really doesn't matter if there is chemistry and compatibility.

Please stop grouping people into categories... height is not controlled by anyone but by human genetics. It is by chance that you look the way you look.

 

It is through life that you will come to accept who you are and love yourself. Height won't make a difference then

‘When I told my wife about the operation she said she would never have been interested in a guy shorter than her,’

 

This got me thinking, I have a back problem and recently read an article about a guy that fell a off ladder cleaning the gutter on his roof. Poor guy landed with his knees locked fracturing 2 vertebrae and destroying 2 discs. This tough ******* never sought medical help and ended up 2" shorter! They only found out 5 years later when he went to the ER for something else.

 

It was clear from the article that his wife loved him just as much 2" and 5 years later. If this guy suddenly fell off a ladder would his wife love him less? I doubt it, even though she would have initiallly passed him over.

 

What this proves is that height doesn't matter even to many women who think it does. Do you feel me? They have only been programmed via evolutin or media to think it does. Once they get to know the person and find real connection, it simply doesn't matter anymore.

Exactly.

 

Funny, real women have to literally punch a guy in the face figuratively in order for them to figure this crap out.

 

Just be you. Height matters not. (As Yoda would say )

 

Frustrating for women who are open-minded, that's for sure.

[Charlie Harper]

I am 5 7 MAYBE 5´8 if I wear boots, never had any problem dating, in fact I have had like 8 relationships where they were 2 to 4 inches taller than me and add heels and my eyes were at their neck!!!

 

I never felt weird or bad, I did not care at all, confidence is very important to women, if you are not secure because height/money/education/looks/sex/whatever... they will notice right away.... no operation can fix insecurity...

This reminds me of the scores of women on OLD that claim to be open minded, but then insist that they need and want men 6-8 inches taller than themselves and invariably taller than even the average height of men... most profiles are like this.

 

It shouldn't matter, but it does. And for the majority of women, it DOES matter.

[Pacman]

I'm 5'8.

 

Instead of growing vertical, I put on muscle and grew horizontal.

 

That's the only growing I'll ever do

 

And to all you short guys like me.

 

If your girl wants to wear high heels. Let them wear high heels EVEN if they are taller than you. Let them feel sexy in their high heels, just because your insecure it doesn't mean your partner has to suffer for it.

If my girl does wear hight heals outside of the house, more power to her - I don't actually care that she's taller than me. I am growing horizontally as I too am starting to bulk.
