RainyDayWoman Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 it's just what i prefer, i don't know. i don't want to feel like some giant amazon woman next to the man i am with. why am i not attracted to redheads? don't know that either. maybe it's because i like them to be bigger, maybe it's because i like to be smaller, maybe it's because it's beaten into us that guys are meant to be bigger and stronger than women, i don't know. but it shouldn't matter why, it just kind of...is...i guess. and that's okay. i don't really have an answer, and i don't think there really is one. i'm sure there are a lot of flat-chested girls that feel the same way as short guys...that they're left out of the game for no reason. some things just are, and they may suck, but things aren't always easy, and you just learn to find a way to work with what you have and hope somebody else appreciates it.

serial muse Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Absolutely! I have yet to find a more glaring double standard than this. here's one: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t80248/ Link to post Share on other sites
soar eyes Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 This one was was tempting. I recently have been bombarded by short men. 5'3", 5'2". Since I'm only 5'3", I can't seem to date a man my height or shorter. I really prefer for my eyes to be chest level to him. Its just my preference. Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Vega Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I'm so glad I'm not short. With many of the women I date, they seem to love the fact that I'm fairly tall compared to them (I'm only 6'0", but most girls are short) Link to post Share on other sites
alfagrl Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Okay this is a question for all the ladies. Does height really matter ? Would you date a guy who is shorter then you? Or even consider them as your potential boyfriend? If so how much shorter or is there a minimum requirement thingy? I'm tall , men always look at my shoes and ask if i have heels on. they make comments like "I feel short next to you". I think its a security issue with men, they don't know what to do when it comes to me. their penis says go for it, but the height says run from it. :laugh: I date men 6'2 and above. I say 6'2 because most men say their 6' but arent so that extra 2" is a buffer Link to post Share on other sites
SmoochieFace Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think its a security issue with men, they don't know what to do when it comes to me. Yeah, it is with some men - not all. I couldn't care less how tall or short a woman is. It isn't a factor for me. It's like the BS insecurity some guys have with greying or thinning hair... they hinge their confidence on dumb things such as those. Dumb Dumb Dumb. Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Honey Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I, too, am 4'11" so most everyone is taller than I am. My ex was 6' and my boyfriend is . . . hmmm . . . gosh . . . I don't recall the exact numbers . . . but he is shorter than my ex. So, height doesn't matter to me. Like someone said, it's his character that matters - and the fact that he can remember things better than I apparently can. It's nice not to have to adjust the driver's seat. And it's nice that I can look into his eyes and all the other body parts are still lined up. That's far better than saying, "I'll be right back." LOL Link to post Share on other sites
mental_traveller Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It shouldn't matter. Men date and marry women shorter them all the time, not big of a deal. Why would the opposite be any different for women. Because a minimum height is a component of attraction for many women, whereas for men it's not so important. Link to post Share on other sites
mental_traveller Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 if preferring a guy to be taller than me so don't i feel like a big, giant, buffoon standing next to him, or generally feel bigger than him, which would make me uncomfortable, then i guess i'm shallow. oh, well. i also wouldn't date a guy who was very skinny--i am not attacted to that, and i shouldn't have to pretend to be attracted to it just to be "fair." it's not about being plastic, it's not about requiring perfection--it's called having an opinion and being turned on by some things and turned off by others. i also prefer guys with hair to bald guys, dark hair rather than blonde, and blue or green eyes as opposed to brown. i would also hope he would have no gender-specific issues, or mental or physical ailments. i would like him to be a normal size, in regard to weight--not too big, not small. this is not to say i will always reject a person who doesn't fit this mold, but naturally it's just what i lean toward--and leaning toward the opposite would simply be an exception. gosh, i am a jerk. i know a lot of jerks, too. shame on us. Cool. So if a guy said he wanted a busty submissive barbie doll who cooked well and loved doing housework - and then rejected you because you didn't fit the mould, you'd be ok with that and wouldn't complain? After all it's just his preference Answer honestly! Link to post Share on other sites
mental_traveller Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Height - as long as he is taller than me it's fine. I am 5'6" - I think the main thing is he needs to be honest, upfront and kindhearted. And taller than you. Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Honey Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just an observation of mine . . . shorter guys seem to have the same stuff packed into a smaller area, which makes them more concentrated. OOOOO Link to post Share on other sites
SmoochieFace Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just an observation of mine . . . shorter guys seem to have the same stuff packed into a smaller area, which makes them more concentrated. OOOOO That's why I have difficulty choosing pants - it's hard to find pants for a short person that can accomodate my *assets*. Most pants are made for tall guys with virtually no butt. Just enough space for that air bubble down there. Link to post Share on other sites
blind_otter Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Cool. So if a guy said he wanted a busty submissive barbie doll who cooked well and loved doing housework - and then rejected you because you didn't fit the mould, you'd be ok with that and wouldn't complain? After all it's just his preference Answer honestly! I have a close friend who is my height, but has a huge rack and the ass of a 12 year old boy. Oh, and long straight blond hair and blue eyes. I am dark, curly haired with B cups, which look like mosquito bites next to her D cups. But I have a nice butt. Anyways, whenever we used to go out, different guys would hit on us. The guys who preferred her weren't attracted to me, and vice versa. SAme with the ladies who hit on either of us. So I learned that personal preference rules when it comes to matters of attraction.

a4a Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Cool. So if a guy said he wanted a busty submissive barbie doll who cooked well and loved doing housework - and then rejected you because you didn't fit the mould, you'd be ok with that and wouldn't complain? After all it's just his preference Answer honestly! Sure that is fine, just like I am not attracted to crack head men or guys that still live at home after the age of 20ish. Or fat guys ........ yep no fat short bald guys...... just could not have a sexual relationship with a person that I do not find physically attractive or has certain habits I could not deal with. So if someone said I am not into thin chicks, or blondes.... or blue eyes, or people that like outdoor activities..... fine.... no problem! His choice... I don't do it for him is all.. no big deal as it would not work out if he faked his attraction. Whats wrong with that?? Hell I will take your above described woman above for myself.... I could use one of those around the house. a4a Link to post Share on other sites

Max Zoom Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hey Boys and girls, Max thinks that Final Heaven's real question is: "Does insecurity really matter to women." Well, of course height matters. Just ask Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson and Sonny Bono. Ok, so Sonny's a bit dead right now. But he's still pretty short. Link to post Share on other sites

After all it's just his preference Answer honestly! yeah, i would be okay with that...why wouldn't i? who wants to date someone who doesn't want to date them? honestly, of course, if it was someone i really thought i liked, and they didn't like me, i might feel a little down about it. but it does truthfully come down to "after all, it's just his/her/my preference." and i would get over it. but i never said short guys don't have a right to feel down about women rejecting their height, or lackthereof...just that there isn't anything anyone can do about how other people feel when it comes to attraction. short people have every right to their feelings...but so do all people.
