MoreAmore Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I could absolutely care less how many women like tall guys. . No, I mean, that much is obvious. If you couldn't care less, you wouldn't go on about it. Everyone does have preferences. When it comes to my body type: Most guys prefer thinner girls. Some guys prefer larger girls. Some guys (like my boyfriend) prefer my body type most of all. Same goes for height. Or hair. Or eyes. Or any other physical attribute. Most don't have the preference be an absolute. Who would want to date those that do?
Rejected Rosebud Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Edit: Damn, I just put a picture up, it's been 5 mins and a big girl already messaged me. That's just because you're 5'11" Though. 3

Rejected Rosebud Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Contradiction #1 - You first say you are 5'3, so your height with heels would hardly be an issue. Yet you prefer tall guys anyways Contradiction #2 - You say that you would give short guys a chance, yet you give your own personal account of passing on an attractive shorter guy admitting you wish he was taller. Contradiction #3 - You state that in your mind you see yourself as an independent woman, yet you seek out taller men to feed your insecurity of needing to feel more petite and secure???? All of that above is exactly how the many many women think on a daily basis. They dont even realize how distorted their thoughts are, and how it sounds when you actually put it down on paper and dissect it. :confused: I can't even start to understand how some woman you don't even know's responses to guys' heights is something you feel like you have a right to judge and "dissect" ??? So what! Do you want to go out with my grandma? Or do you have an age preference????? Is that distorted thinking, if you don't want to, because she is an awesome lady!!! Or are you gonna tell your guy friend how distorted his thinking is when he tells you he really only likes girls with long hair?? Srsly I really don't get it, but probably having this kind of judgmental outrage that women in general would DARE to have preferences in the physical department is NOT helping you with women, it probably shows!!! So maybe think about letting go of some of this self righteousness and outrage about stuff that has nothing to do with you AT ALL!!!
Author Male Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 No, I mean, that much is obvious. If you couldn't care less, you wouldn't go on about it. Wrong I am intrigued by what drives the choice. Its the assumptions of the posters on here, thinking I am jealous, or being a whiner, thats what I could care less about.
Author Male Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 having this kind of judgmental outrage that women in general would DARE to have preferences in the physical department is NOT helping you with women How did me being inquisitive get turned into "judgmental outrage"?? LOL
MoreAmore Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 thats what I could care less about. I know. I agreed that you could certainly care less. About all of this. Most do. 2
autumnnight Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I know. I agreed that you could certainly care less. About all of this. Most do. I think your grammar quip is going over his head.... 2
Tribble Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Sorry...but you are talking to the wrong guy about that. I base my selection purely off of personality and that spark of interaction. I do not have one premeditated "preference" that I look for . Fine. No personality preferenc? That you generally like? No a requirement just something that usually attracts you? That you'd ask for if you were set up? Introvert or extrovert? Cute or ballsy? Laid back? Opinionated?
Krieger Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 OP move to north Korea you be seen as tall over there.
S_A Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Why? I don't fault him for wondering why. But I feel like there is enough content in this thread for him to understand. Bottom line is that the height looks better.

We all get hurt from time to time. We all get rejected, and sometimes it's over things we can't control. 1
PJKino Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Life isn't fair. We all get hurt from time to time. We all get rejected, and sometimes it's over things we can't control. I agree but women seem to be hypocritical about stuff like this.They can comment on what they find unattractive but a man does it and he's a monster. You type in short men on twitter and you literally see thousands of anti short guy tweets from women not just about how ugly they are but how they hate them.A women gets rejected for her appearance on a shallow one night stand app and it sparks outrage lol
S_A Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 My baby sister is in 9th grade. She is 5'7" or 5'8". She'll probably end up at 5'8", maybe 5'9" when she is an adult. When she becomes an adult I'd definitely encourage to stick with guys that are 6ft and up.

jay1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 That's just because you're 5'11" Though. This made me spit my tea all over my desk.... I messaged a couple more myself. Here's what one had to say. Hello, I'm not hitting on you, I just wanna ask you a question. Do you have a height requirement? If so how tall? Sent Yesterday Hi- I do. At least 5'9. Why? Sent from the OkCupid app 12:52am I was talking to some of some guys I work with and they keep saying they can't get dates, women don't want short guys. I'm just trying to see how much truth their is to it. Sent at 1:18am Well what is short? Sent from the OkCupid app 1:23am One's 5'6" the other's maybe 5'7" IDK I just had a hard time believing that. Sent at 1:25am One more question. What kinda beer is that in your pic? Sent at 1:31am Does that make me bitchy for admitting that? Sent from the OkCupid app 1:31am No at least you're honest. Sent at 1:33am I think id moved on from beer at that point: it's an angry orchard cider Sent from the OkCupid app 1:33am I just wear a lot of heels for work, so I'd rather a guy not be taller than me. I'm only 5'4 Sent from the OkCupid app 1:33am Not be taller than you? Is that a typo? Sent at 1:35am Ha! Yea Id rather a guy be taller than me. When I'm barefoot it's not tough to do Sent from the OkCupid app 1:37am Sent at 1:40am Where are you from? Sent from the OkCupid app 1:41am Houston Sent at 1:42am Aha makes total sense with your screen name Sent from the OkCupid app 1:43am Block themReport

Lots of positive stuff about how short men make great husbands and how short men tend to marry for life. A guy selling ties and shirts for shorter men and this. https://blog.fitbay.com/mens-style-find-pants-shorter-inseam/ and this Size Really Doesn?t Matter: 7 Short Celebrity Men That Slay The Ladies and this https://twitter.com/search?q=%23shortmen&src=typd Hardly the bitchfest described. 1
Got it Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 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? I am 5'6", my first husband was 5'8/5'9 (see I don't even know how tall he was) and I wore heels and it didn't matter. My husband is 5'11. I wear heels with him. My sister is 5'10, her last boyfriend was . . . 5'8? She is obviously taller than him any time. She dates a range of heights. My best friend is 5'11. She doesn't wear heels at all. She would prefer a man who is taller but dates a range. It is nice if he is taller, but I don't know anyone who has it as a dealbreaker, especially once they hit their 30s. The very strict list of slightly wavy hair, with a blond streak, a medium pitch voice, that drives a Grand Cherokee tends to fall away once a woman matures up a little and isn't the little girl she was in her early 20s.
Krieger Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Well every time a woman asks how tall I am I just tell them this and if they do not get it so be it. I'm between 6'0" and 6'4", depending on which convenience store I'm leaving. 1
jay1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Looking for my King to care for his Queen. I'm always up for a drink, coffee or something simple to hang out and get to meet in person. Love being outdoors, catching up on sports, and enjoy being with friends and family or relaxing on a Sunday. I'm big on chivalry, but I am grateful and have no problem going Dutch. I look forward to getting to know you. I'll be honest if you're not 5'11" or taller I'll probably ignore you. I spend a lot of time thinking about My next adventures and a future awesome home, husband and kids.

That's all there is to it. If you use OLD then you takes your chances, getting to meet people IRL significantly ups your chances....or not. And I read your thread about this subject and yes obviously some women are this shallow. Meh!
misspond Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I know that this is in the realms of anecdotal evidence, because that's what it is, but my best friend, an Amazon who has her own doubts about herself but is a lovely person, is soon marrying a man much shorter than herself. He's awesome and has his own doubts about himself. I love them both dearly, they are flawed and lovely humans and they found each other and have the most wonderful connection. It is what it is folks.
