Ladies, tell me about height.

Nice to see some honesty finally!

If you don't believe in biology and evolution, then what the hell do you believe in?

The bible?

My theories on eugenics are sound and were ascertained by learning from VERY smart people. I didn't pull them out of thin air... nor did I pull them out of my arse.

That's right confidence is one of the most important things .

You shouldn't have any problem at all. There are plenty of tall women out there, and there are short women who love a man towering over them. My sister is 5' and said she'd never fall for a tall guy. Well, she married a guy who is 6'2".

6-2 isnt that tall and tall woman 5-10 and over are actually rare less than 5 percent of female population .

6'2" is tall to her because she is only 5'. What I was trying to say was that she married a man 14" taller than herself. I think the average woman now is about 5'4/5'5, so the chances of you finding a woman that height interested in a man your height is pretty good.

I'm sorry, but alot of this stuff is BS. Guys...seriously, grow a pair, and ladies...this is a freaking internet forum theres no need for fluff.

I'm not going to beat around any bush, height is a major factor in looks for women.

In fact height beats out facial looks most of the time.

example: a 5'7" guy with an 8/10 face wouldn't be as "hot" as a 6'2" guy with a 5-6/10 face.

There are exceptions but I mean when you see the hottest, most desirable women out at a mall or the movies, ISNT the guy usually tall?

Of course he is. And of course also, height tastes are relativistic. A petite 4'10" girl is going to have her ideal height shorter than a 5'6" girl, unless either of the two has a height fetish. But most girls are 5' to 5'8" and they'll like guys who are 6'0" and over.

Now I'm 5'7"

My short height isn't stopping me from getting any, but it sure hurts my chances.

I have to make up in that department with an excellent taste in clothing and having great game with women.

The key: If your short like me, DONT LET IT GET TO YOU. It rubs off on your confidence and makes you eve less attractive.

Well, being male you might have a different look, but height isn't that important to me when choosing a BF. Personality and humour are more than 90% of the equation - looks, height, weight, penile size (Oops, said it) is important but on a completely different scale.

When I see couples like your sister and her hubby I have to admit I get a little miffed. I'm 5'9", she doesn't need a man that tall I do.

That's hysterical, though I'd be pissed about not having a decent wedding video.

Where are you getting this info?

The height of the average American male is 5'10" The average American female is 5'4". Therefore any male over the average is tall, ditto women. The only time 6'2" isn't tall for a man is if he plays for the Arizona Suns.

I have a friend who only dates Jewish guys under 5'10" preferably skinny with glasses. No, she is not Jewish, she is Methodist.

She swears she has never met a Jewish guy with less than an 8 inch dick.

No wonder y'all are the chosen people.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news hungdavid but I think your problem is your personality and not your height. Your shorter friends have probably learned that they need to be nice and charming and have a pleasant personality. Whereas you appear to be walking around thinking "I'm tall, handsome; and have a big dick. Line up to love me ladies."

It's not crap. I am 5'9" and men under 6' have to be exceptional in looks to even be a blip on my radar. It's not being rude. I like to wear high heels, I literally don't even see men that are shorter than me.

At 5'3" my mom is the shortest of her 5 siblings. She once turned down a marriage proposal in college because the guy was too short at 5'10".

Since my mom is just under average height for a female clearly this preference has to do with eugenics and future offspring. Her first husband was 6'1" and my dad is 6'2". At 5'7" and 5'9" both of her daughters are tall, for girls.

I once dated a man who was 5'10" but I was still a teen and was only 5'7" at the time.

I just feel more relaxed and less like the Jolly Green Giant if I am with a man taller than me. Especially if I am wearing heels.

Let me put it in a nutshell for you, if you are short, you will be always lonely and never hooking up with the girls of your choice, they will 99% of the time go for a taller man because their DNA makes them do it. They don't make a conscious decision to stay away from short guys, it just sort of happens that way. You will notice that most of the successful married men in the world are above 5 foot 9. I know this because I am in the wedding business and we have only had 3 or 5 guys under 5 foot 9 out of HUNDREDS of grooms... they are ALL tall. Face it, women do NOT want to pass on our short genes to their children. They want Barbie doll and Ken looking offspring, because being tall almost ensures your survival as a human. Tall people also consistently get better jobs and make more money, they are ultimately more successful.

Not true. This can be true, except for all the others factors, especially behavioural traits. And the other factors are what often make the difference. Exept for the distance from the Sun, we should burn. Do we burn?

More, behavioural traits are influenced by cultural assumptions. So, if you are short and the culture says that short men are not lucky in the society because of a biological/genetic reason (this can be true OR not true, it is the same) you will tend to exactly fulfilling this expectation even if it is absolutely NOT true.
So your explanation could be logical tripod, but this don't means it is true. You should also consider that the natural selection don't support "strenght or power" but only "adaptations". If the physical strenght it is not so much important in our environment, as we could suppose, it will be NOT the first factors supported by the natural selection and then by the femine choice. This is what all the biologist know. Obvioulsy, if you exclude all the dozen of others factors, strenght will have some importance.

lowteg · 05-08-2008

man most of my mates who are shorter around your size are usually heaps into gym so they look bigger.

my advice is to maby bulk up on the muscle size, if your worried but dont be...

most girls go for different things,

you have girls who like shorter guys, girls who like taller guys, girls who like a different range of things.

don't worry man...

I can understand that. When my sister first met him, she told the family she met this really nice guy who was good looking and smart, but he was too tall and too young. She is only 5', he is 6'2", and she is 4 years older. Well, that passed very quickly. It was more or less love at first sight, and they were married less than a year later. 10+ years of marriage and they're still going strong! I guess we should never rule out anything when it comes to relationships.

I've always wondered why that is? It's not like people really care if the girl looks taller...
