jay1983 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 A lot of women have a height requirement in their profiles (even short ones). The magic number seems to be 6ft. Where can you show me?
regine_phalange Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I prefer a man who isn't shorter than me when I'm barefoot. But when I wear heels (not too often) I enjoy it when the guy appears shorter. It's like living the top model fantasy. 1
S_A Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Where can you show me? Just make an account at a popular dating site and browse. Try browsing the Los Angeles profiles at least. I have... For fun only 1

autumnnight Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'll confess that if I had a dating profile anywhere I would probably put 5'10"....because I am 5'10"
jay1983 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I'll confess that if I had a dating profile anywhere I would probably put 5'10"....because I am 5'10" Yeah, that I've seen, but I haven't seen this magic 6' number that short women have. I'mma flat out ask one em. 1
S_A Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 What age group are you looking? I think I registered at match.com. Was a whike ago. I browsed the people in LA and saw a lot of women wanting 6ft and up. I may have browsed plenty of fish as well; not sure. If it makes you feel any better, my GF wants her guy to be at least 6ft.
Shining One Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Okay I made an OKCupid account. I've looked at 3 profiles and none of them say anything about how tall you have to be.Try Match. In the "More About Her" section of the profile, it lists what she's looking for. This includes height. She can also choose to filter messages based on these options. Example: Men between 5'10" and 7' can message her. All others go to trash. As for the magic number of 6', here are the requirements from my ten daily matches: 6' - 25'11" - 35'10" - 15'9" - 15'7" - 13' (Default) -2
jay1983 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I'm 5'11" and I hate to break it to you, but this height thing is only online. Once you log out of here and step into the real world ugly is ugly and cute is cute, unless you're like 5'2" or something out of the ordinary, I don't see a whole lot of gals turning down cute guys cause they're only 3" taller than they're. Edit: Damn, I just put a picture up, it's been 5 mins and a big girl already messaged me. Edited July 7, 2015 by jay1983
Keenly Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 This is where you emphasize interests in your profile thatcher not " heel activities " No one's going to show up on a hike or to the tennis court in heels.
Robert Z Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 My first sb and I are almost exactly the same height. She was wearing her Stilettos in a photo of her and me and I hadn't even noticed until I saw the shot. Won't be doing that again!
BlueIris Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 No this thread isnt a joke. I know a lot of you have a ton of jokes to crack after just reading the title. But I'm being very serious about this. Any guy that has done any online dating can vouch for this. There are a lot, and I mean a lot of women that wrote on their profile in black and white..."I like to wear heels so you need to be "X" feet tall to contact me". How did this obsession start? I think there are way more women that fit into this category than we realize. Is this an insecurity for some women? Would taking away their heels be the same as taking away their makeup? Do women hold on tight to their accessories more like its a part of them, or an extension of their personality? Say a woman is 5'6....and she loves wearing her 3 inch heels. But she meets an amazing guy that is 5'8. How many women would not even consider him even though he is taller than her when she doesnt wear her heels? How serious can a woman really be about finding a great guy if she cares more about her shoes than a him? Heels are wonderful. Pretty shoes are wonderful. I have shoes that have made me happy long after I was dating the man I was with when I bought them. Shoes are forever. (with proper care) Oh, man, the shoes I wore this morning…. Yummm! I dated someone who was 5’8” once and he didn’t like my wearing heels that made me taller than him. It made me sad. I wouldn’t date someone who didn’t like dogs either. I love my dog. 2

Ah...LA. Well there ya go. I'm sure they also have a weigh requirement that doesn't exceed 150 either....and a minimum cup size
S_A Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Ah...LA. Well there ya go. I'm sure they also have a weigh requirement that doesn't exceed 150 either....and a minimum cup size Ok so we are transitioning from bashing women to bashing LA? Edit: most the guys I know, here in LA, are not too concerned with boob size. They are more in to butts. We're big on butts! Besides, bigger boobs won't help in keeping women under the desired weight threshold. JK Edited July 7, 2015 by S_A 3
xxoo Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Then why are you always babbling about how wrong it is that women get judged for their bodies and blah blah blah? Yet when it's the other way around, it's perfectly fine and you're even onboard with it. Acknowledging that ego plays a part isn't the same thing as justifying it. It's just being honest about the attraction dynamics. Haha this is so true. When guys find out my GF is Brazilian their mouths hang open and they go stiff. I've even been asked "where can I get one" lol. I personally couldn't care less about her ethnicity, but it definitely feels good to have what other guys want no matter how shallow it is. That's an honest post. This is true for men and women. My partner isn't tall, but he's got a lot of traits that other women want, and sure, it's an ego boost to have a partner like that. He feels the same. 2
jay1983 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Acknowledging that ego plays a part isn't the same thing as justifying it. It's just being honest about the attraction dynamics. . Oh fu*kin please, that's all she talks about is how women are objectified and treated badly. Then likes every post about 6' popular men.

It's more like 5'10" is the magic number. Sh*t! lol
autumnnight Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Damn, I got on match and see it now. It's more like 5'10" is the magic number. Sh*t! lol Oh jay, with that crooked boyish grin, it wouldn't matter if you were 4'11". I bet you make girls swoon anyway.... No, I am not hitting on you. I could be your mother....I do have a daughter though 1
S_A Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Damn, I got on match and see it now. It's more like 5'10" is the magic number. Sh*t! lol Women that specifically ask for 5'10" guys do so because they feel more intimidated by taller guys. Y'know, being a small chick meeting a really tall stranger (a male) for the first time can be intimidating. Jen1447 can easily take down guys in the 5'10" range. It gets a bit trickier when they're 6'3".
Keenly Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Oh jay, with that crooked boyish grin, it wouldn't matter if you were 4'11". I bet you make girls swoon anyway.... No, I am not hitting on you. I could be your mother....I do have a daughter though Some of the ladies I work with are in their 50's but they are gorgeous. I'm secretly hoping I get to meet some of their daughters, because those genes are fantastic. 1
Robert Z Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Acknowledging that ego plays a part isn't the same thing as justifying it. It's just being honest about the attraction dynamics. So am I when I say I like women in their early twenties.
xxoo Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 So am I when I say I like women in their early twenties. Sure, it's an ego thing. None of these ego things (tall, gorgeous, young, rich) necessarily help us find good partners. But they bolster our own egos, it feels good, and we're attracted. 2

But they bolster our own egos, it feels good, and we're attracted. You got it right the first time. Ego plays A PART. Acknowledging that ego plays a part isn't the same thing as justifying it. It's just being honest about the attraction dynamics. I am attracted to women because that is who attracts me even when ego has nothing to do with it. It is about reproduction instincts, not ego. Seeking out partners who don't attract is isn't a good way to find a partner either. Edited July 8, 2015 by Robert Z
jay1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 That's the worst part about it. I don't think it's that they're not attracted, it's cause the guys just aren't good enough
