Attraction to tall men...

[B_Marcus50]

No it's not. [enters panto mode]

That's very ill-informed of you to suggest that women who actually don't mind who they date in terms of height are mentally unstable. What planet do you live on, because it's certainly not earth!?

Find me a woman who says the height doesn't matter and I'll show you a pathological liar.

Most women have severe complexes/insecurities about their femininity and will therefore refuse to date a guy that's shorter than her, because it makes her feel less feminine. That's why she will choose the easy solution and find a tall guy instead spending money and time on a shrink.

Height matters to most women in the same way that it matters to most men.

No guy wants to date a girl who is taller than him, and I'm sure most, if not all, women wouldn't want to date a guy shorter than them.

I had a girl that didn't want to be with me because of this. we went on one date and everything seemed good, but a few days after she told me that was the problem.

I guess she didn't want to have to bend down to hug me...lol

LOL, that's the problem with the written word - the sarcasm doesn't always come through. My ex was tall and good looking. He was also lazy, spoiled, insecure, irresponsible and had an entitlement mentality. So the point I was actually trying to make was that no, height really isn't everything.

Hey! He must have come from the same family as my ex girlfriend. Fits her to a T. Attractive, good figure and every bad thing you mentioned. Did he like projecting his problems onto others too?

So size does matter: Taller men are happier than shorter men. They’re also blessed with fewer worries and don’t get as sad or angry.

I've wondered if one of the reasons women tend to like tall men is that they assume that a tall man also has a larger penis. On the other hand, my personal experience is that most women really do not get excited over a large penis. Given the stereotype (fed by the porn industry and others) about black men, I also wonder if women who prefer black men assume that those men have larger penises. If so, then you can imagine the frustration of a non-black non-tall guy who is well endowed - but has no way of showing this off in a socially acceptable way. In any case, nobody would believe me without seeing it, but no woman ( who is looking for such a thing) would see it without believing me. So it's a catch 22.

i like tall men because i'm little (just under 5'4") and it feels very...secure. very safe, and protected. i'm sure it has to do with my parents, too. my mom is just under 5'0 and my dad is 6'5...

i've also had experiences in the past that have added to the attraction of a man who towers over me, but it most certainly has nothing to do with assuming how big someone is because of the rest of their body. i think that's a very silly thing to assume.

:redface: It was a joke dude, but it's no secret men, as a whole, are more honest about sex in public.

Girls may be plenty rank in private with their girlfriends, but that bravado quickly evaporates under public scrutiny. Men, however, are expected to be perverse slobbering pig-dogs and are generally more than happy to oblige.

Ask a guy in public what he checks out first and he'll probably say tits or ass. Ask a woman and she'll say eyes, hair, smile, hight or anything other cock.
Now, some would argue that it can be accounted to men's baser nature, but I think it has more to do with bulges (generally) being discrete and often misleading.

I laughed so hard at this post, I literally wet myself.

Men on the whole are more honest about sex in public? I think of the jocular stories about guys bragging in the locker room about what they did the night before. Heck I think about Mike Duvall bragging about his affair with a lobbyist and still having a microphone on. It's after he's busted and he resigns that he NOW says that he never had an affair.

So I think about how someone had to listen to this old mofo talk about a sex life he apparently never had, seems incredibly desperate.

Women for most part are not visual. Men are. Huge huge difference.

If it takes you 15-20 minutes to get turned on..you aren't developed to just look at something and be all turned on about it.

There are some men that I look at and immediately feel week in the knees and tall men make me feel safe and that is attractive to me. It's an unwritten rule, their height is a deterrent from bad things happening.

as far as the women equating to tall men/black men to being large, I don't think that's true. I'm very tall, and have only had one experience where a woman tried to make that connection lol. When I was 19, i was at a club one time dancing with a chick-friend and this other girl walks up to me and says "wow. you're big. let's see if you're big down THERE too." and she proceeds to grab my cock through my pants. she looks me in the eye and says "wow!" and walks away... all while my friend that i'm dancing with is standing right there. i was floored lol So if she didn't already, from that point on she might equate black and tall with being well hung, but i doubt it. If so, i'm fairly sure she'd be in the vast minority of women who make that assumption. The majority of girls i've been with are surprised at my size.

Wrong. Height matters so much more to women than men.
Most men (especially the shorter ones) really don't care about how tall she is. It's the women who has to make such a big deal about the height issue.

Maybe women should ask men out more often as I am tired of weeding out the ones that don't prefer shorter guys. Glad I have the porn biz. I'm done with the dating scene. I'll stay single until we get progress here. Women are so judgemental. Can we help it if we are genetically short? Even racial preferences should be sin.

That will NEVER happen. Most women don't even have the guts to ask out a guy or even approach him - unless he's really hot.
Women are still stuck in the 18th century, which is why they expect men to make the first move.

You have some mad generalisations going on there

He's not making generalisations. It's just the way it is.

 

[B_Marcus50]

Amen, sista!

Hypocrite. You just said you would never date a short guy and now you're praising that post? Hahahaha!!!
Honestly; who do you think you're kidding?

 

[B_Marcus50]

If you notice I said if he was tired of wasting time then he should just ask them that.

Secondly you have no idea about my situation. Can I lose the weight eventually yes. At the moment that isn't an option. So thanks for assuming that everyone can change their weight. That's like telling a skinny person with a high metabolism that someone who prefers they have more meat on their bones to eat until they want to puke.

Horrible argument. Almost everyone can change their weight. Just because some people have metabolism or thyroid problems it doesn’t mean that EVERYONE has it. Can’t even fathom that you just used that as an argument.

Furthermore why should it matter if someone could change or not? Your preference is still the same so it shouldn't matter. If that person doesn't fit what you want then move on. It's not anyone's job to go around changing people. Our preferences are what they are and we shouldn't change them for anyone else anymore than someone else should change who they are for our preferences.

Incredible. How can you even ask that question? It makes such an immensely HUGE difference if you can change it or not.
I think you're trying to make yourself feel better, because you know you're fat - but you're too lazy to do anything about it.

 

[B_Marcus50]

And if you're tired of weeding through women maybe you should be more direct about it. Ask women straight out if they have a problem with your height and boom....no time wasted.

That's a really bad advice. If a guy asked a woman that, she would be disgusted and not go out with him.

And she would probably also think that he was too insecure (even though he probably isn't) and use that as her main reason for not liking him, even though she subconsciously didn't even like him in the first place because he is short.

Honestly it shouldn't be that hard for him. The average height of women depending on the source is 5'4 to 5'6. That means those women at that height or less are in the majority. It just so happens (for some unknown reason) that most of the women here are taller than average. Not all of us of course....so maybe we as a subset of women are biased. I think you make a good point though....most women just want someone who is at least as tall as them or at least within an inch or two. And quite honestly I don't think that is too much to ask or an unreasonable preference. It's not like anybody here is saying that all 5'4" women want a man who is a foot taller than her.

You're so incredibly wrong that it's amazing. Most women are between 5'5 and 5'9 and none of them wants a guy that is as tall as her or shorter. I've talked to so many women about this and read so many threads on other forums about this.
Being as tall as a woman is just NOT enough. You have to be at least 2-3 inches taller than her. Even the really short women won't date guys under 5'8.

Honestly I'd rather date a man who was a few inches shorter than me than a man who was wearing lifts. That just seems desperate to me.....desperate and unattractive because he isn't happy with himself as he is.

And this comes from the woman who won't date guys under 5'10. You're so full of it. Christ..

A lot of women can't help it; tallness is simply an attractive trait for men.

It bothers me a lot, but there's nothing I can do. A tall man is to women is kind of what a girl with a big, beautiful rack is to most men. Instantly gets attention, and in some cases initial attraction. Short guys never really enter the picture in terms of people a women considers dating, and they have to work pretty damn hard to get in there.

It's still possible, and things like incredible confidence, being in very good shape, and awesome social graces can still get you some attention.

On the same side, though, it's a lot like when someone says it doesn't matter if you have a small penis, because if you're skilled enough, have good enough stamina, and are incredibly talented with your tongue and fingers, you'll be able to get the same reaction. It's comforting to think about and all, but one would still want a bigger dick.

Also, I'm 5'4", which is the shortest male height said so far in this thread, and from what I've read, is the average height for women.

Just realize that there's nothing to be gained from whining, and just adapt. Also, realize that any woman that directly turns you away simply because of height alone isn't worth your time.

You're basically saying that 99,9% of all women aren't worth your (or my) time. But you're right about it. I agree with your post.

Thank you for making a sweeping generalization of the entire male gender. The rest of us can't thank you enough.

I don't care about height, unless she's some kind of crazy gigantic amazon. If she's shorter than me, then awesome! If she's taller than me, that only makes it so my face is closer to her breasts.

Holy Sextuple post, Batman!

Also, sweeping generalizations of 99.9% of the other gender aren't great either, especially when you utterly fail at using a decimal point.

Are you freakin' kidding me? I write a post and all you focus on is my punctuation?

Are you really 5'4"? If yes, have you ever been with a woman?

No I'm not kidding you, no I didn't focus only on your punctuation as I noted in said post that you posted six fucking times in a row, yes I'm really 5'4", and yes I've been with a woman. The relationship sucked, but it was because she was a lying bitch.

However, I know a beautiful, fit woman on whom I actually have quite a bit of a crush, who is dating an Indian guy no taller than me.

Get over yourself.

That's pretty harsh. Maybe he just likes being a little taller; why is he any more "desperate" and not "happy with himself" than the women who wears those "wonder bras" to give themselves the appearance of having more cleavage and a bigger bust? How about getting your hair dyed to hide grays?

People wear things to flatter their appearance and offset their sense of their own shortcomings all the time. Why single out a short guy who gives himself a little boost with lifts?

Just out of curiosity, can I ask how tall you are?
