S_A Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 If you go to Google and type in: What do you call gu Google will fill in the rest of the sentence for you with the most likely thing you are about to search. The search recommendation will read: What do you call guys under 5'10" The answer? "Friends." Looks like the cut off is 5'10". Link to post Share on other sites
jay1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It's crazy how shallow women are about height with old..If 90% of men's profiles had the equivalent where they demanded flat stomachs and d cups the social justice warrior feminists would want men's heads on a platter.. If that were the case, nobody'd be getting together. We wouldn't have the 30% of relationships that started online, which BTW I don't think is accurate, I think it's more like 10%. And we wouldn't have a FWB subsection here. lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites
autumnnight Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well they ain't online, that's for damn sure. lol Well, I confess that I don't do the match/okcupid/pof thing. So I don't know who says what. I've never tried to convince a man who wanted a skinny woman to change his preference to a bigger one. It probably wouldn't work, though, so I'd be better served to just find someone else.

Google what do you call average looking women who want good looking guys over 6'. The answer? Friends with benefits. Link to post Share on other sites
S_A Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Google what do you call average looking women who want good looking guys over 6'. The answer? Friends with benefits. Lol good one. The appearance of a man's face is important, but when a woman ranks a man's attractiveness, she looks at everything. She looks at face, height, and even things like shoulders. Dude go look at the OLD topic somewhere on here. Women like seeing a full body pic of guys in their profiles, not just mug shots. Attractiveness is the whole thing dude. Ffs even Oprah Winfrey has a decent face for her age. But damn... What about everything else? Link to post Share on other sites

I say something, you counter, I counter back, and you take it back to what I originally said. Of course height plays a part, but it's not the extreme like online, which is why.......I don't wanna make assumptions or generalizations. Link to post Share on other sites
S_A Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Like I mentioned before.... A girl setting a height requirement online is just saying she does not want short guys. Link to post Share on other sites
lino Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've never encountered this scenario with women and heels. It's probably less prolific here just like the whole tall = superman thing seems to be in the USA. Here short guys do ok. Really baffles me though that anyone still thinks a tall guy would be a better protector Other than retrieving things from high up or playing basketball/volleyball, being tall offers few genuine advantages.

And we wouldn't have a FWB subsection here. lol It is the case. And the only reason many people do get together is because theres enough guys that give in and conform instead of having a backbone and not putting up with a lot of the crap that it takes to get a date nowadays.

MrNate 2.0 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I know that my husband prefers small, thin women. Guess what, I'm small and thin! It's not really a coincidence, and no, it doesn't turn me off that he has that preference. Yep. Thats my preference too. Likewise there's fellas out here that love bigger girls. That's what's great about people. Regardless of size, everyone will usually still cater to a certain demographic. Link to post Share on other sites
Palmeiras Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 One of my exes once told me that she would never date a guy shorter than me. I am exactly 6 feet tall without shoes on. Let's just say that she was petite, and I was significantly taller than her. Of course, this girl had substantial sexual capital, and she had generally had her way most of her dating life. However, I also came to realize in the end that she was an awful person, and she was demanding of others in ways that she was absolutely not demanding of herself. When she told me that that I was essentially the height "threshold" for her mating endeavors, I felt kind of... objectified. Like if I had been even an inch shorter, I wouldn't have even been on her radar? That's just wack. Of course, I have my preferences in women. I do seem to attract and be attracted to certain types, but there is no fixed set of criteria I look for in physical appearance or dimensions. I have never dated a woman taller than me, and while I do think that I have been culturally conditioned to look for shorter women, I would absolutely not rule out dating someone that I had to literally look up to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
xxoo Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The people who have such restrictive dating requirements that they stay single are only hurting themselves, and maybe not even themselves. This is as true for short men as it is for everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm good with non-superficial, but I believe men are generally more looks focused. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Palmeiras Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Are you superficial? Any physical preferences? I'm good with non-superficial, but I believe men are generally more looks focused. Women are just as superficial as men. That is what I have observed in life. Women are just more subtle in how they approach things; men are so often more overt that they get labeled as the shallower gender. I'm not giving either sex a pass in this area. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I think women are superficial, but less looks focused generally. Men care less about a woman's job, for instance, than women care about a man's. I don't see much room for men bring outraged by women's looks criteria, considering how important looks are to men. And I'm not complaining, for the record. I like my man to be into my looks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not that damn superficial. I don't only date women with D cups or size 4, or certain hair color. You're comparing apples to watermelons. Link to post Share on other sites
Palmeiras Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I think women are superficial, but less looks focused generally.

And I'm not complaining, for the record. I like my man to be into my looks. I, for one, am not outraged. Looks matter, if only to get the fire started. I understand this. However, to attach specific thresholds to dimensions or characteristics is rubbish. Absolute lunacy, and lunacy that, might I add, has been encouraged by present-day first world culture and extraordinary privilege. It goes both ways. We're all nuts anyway.

jay1983 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 xxoo I believe women have a way of filtering what they say. These threads that pop up about cutting off sex? I think a lot of the times the guy let himself go. Got a beer gut, lost some hair and didn't bother to crop the rest, lost his sense of style etc. But women don't like to flat out say it.

Got it Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 xxoo I believe women have a way of filtering what they say. These threads that pop up about cutting off sex? I think a lot of the times the guy let himself go. Got a beer gut, lost some hair and didn't bother to crop the rest, lost his sense of style etc. But women don't like to flat out say it. That is a piece, definitely. But, and I don't want to speak for all women, it is a lot to do with the guy also attempting to woo them any more. That they aren't taken for granted. Obviously a two way street and this isn't owned by one gender. But, I know for myself, a big issues in my first marriage was the lack of any attention to what I liked especially sexually and any desire to try and improve things. I know I can adjust with some weight gain, aging, etc. My love is not determined solely by someone's physical appearance. But I want the man that is interested in our sex life, wants to add spice to it, pays attention to what I like and seems to enjoy and appreciate my sexuality. Not be intimidated by it. But yes, I do think women, especially younger ones, struggle with hard conversations about the other person. I know that I struggle, even now, telling my husband if he has bad breath, or something. I know I am super sensitive on things like that and I don't want to hurt feelings even though he doesn't seem to be anywhere as sensitive. So I know with my ex there was a lot that I would let brew because I just couldn't tell him the hard truth. And that was a major weakness with me. Link to post Share on other sites

When I've seen women lose interest in sex, it hasn't been about physical changes. It's been about resentment, long festering issues that finally just kill any feelings of intimacy she has for the man. Often, the woman would admit he still looks very attractive, but the sexual feelings are gone. Link to post Share on other sites
