As a man of height 5' 5", my opinion: :cuss:

I feel you MDJ. I'm down for women who might be 1 or 2 inches taller than me maximum, but I'm at the national male average height.

 

[backbreaker]

my wife is 5'11 and 3/4ths without shoes on. right at 6'0. just tall and leggy. I'm 5'8, almost 5'9. I admit we probably look odd together, for more than that reason obviously but **** it works for us.

i think if anything when i originally approached her she said she thought i was cute / handsome even though she normally doesn't date outside her race but she never really took me serious beucse well she doesn't date short men. It took a little game to get her to say you know **** what you normally do you are going out with me and we are going to have fun.

the way i see it, height just like race, being broke, being whatever is a barrier. in game you have to overcome barriers and all of them can be overcome if she is attracted to you at all.

I mean this is what im' trying to say. There's I like you BUT and there is I don't like guys that... you aren't going to get anywhere with girls that classify you as I dont' like guys that. But a girl that says you aren't' bad BUT.. that's when you can use game to get past her defenses. My wife never had an issue with short guys it's not like she was anti short guy. .**** im' not really short i'm just not tall, she just never had dated one. If i hadn't have laid the mack down lol then you know the height would have been one of the nit pick issues she woudl have come up with for nexting me.

long= short, it's possible. now it's not even an issue. lol i 'm not gonna go there. it makes for interesting conversations when we are busting each others balls.

The author's a fag. His opinion's worthless. He starts off with the usual faggot sh1t about "heteronormative oppression" that causes "normally faggotty" men to be embarrassed about their queer inclinations:

Because everyone knows men are taller on average, straight couples in which the man is shorter raise a problem of gender performance. That is, the man might not be seen as a real man, the woman as a real woman, if they don't (together) display the normal pattern. To prevent this embarrassment, some couples in which the wife is taller might choose to be photographed with the man standing on a step behind the woman, or they might have their wedding celebrated with a commemorative stamp...

It really pisses him off that men seek women. And by the way, that this "gender discrimination" is manifest in other standards, such as the woman also being shorter. What to hell -- has feminine beauty too? NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Humans could couple up differently, if they wanted to.

BTW, guys, the first time I saw a woman taller than I am, I was 26. And I'm only a little taller than average. All these Amazon women -- it ain't right! It's from hormones in the meat.

Worldwide, women average 5' 0" and men average 5' 5".

I know a lot of guys who talk about how much they love tall women - "long legs that go all the way up to their @ss". I've never really gotten all that. I'm 5'10", which is average I think. I've always preferred shorter women. Being able to tower over them makes me feel more dominant. There's something about short women that sets off some hormones in my brain.

Anyway, at the end of the day it's all preferences, not necessarily dealbreakers. You shouldn't engage in self limiting beliefs.

These two certainly aint tall and short thats for sure. Just came across this and thought i would share it anyway, These two are giants.

If i can be entirely honest, I never was once worried about my height. I'm not short she's just tall. There are more people my height than hers lol.

what I was honestly worried about is that well, maybe she had some preconcived notions about black men and penis size and that is exaggrated beucase she's tall and she probably ****s a lot of tlal guys and tall guys have big ****s lol and well my **** isn't small but it's not like.. it's not big by any stretch of the imagination. from what i understand i have some girth but i'm not just very long. anyway that's TMI lol.

but yeah that was my main concern not height.

You probably came to this site because of relationship issues/insecurities and not attracting women initially then. Although I imagine d!ck size could have a subliminal effect on how you deal with women.

I personally came because of what I thought was a relationship issue(needing advice with one girl) but it turned out at the root of it was the initial attraction problem.

damn you're good lol.

as long as i was in shape i never have had a problem attracting women. at least avg / above avg looking women i'd get my fair share. but i still had stupidly bad AFC tendeices and keep flaming out horribly which is why i came here and the absoute dimes like the girl that bought me here i coudl not get and i wanted that.

I believe it is very true that what we think about ourselves physically greatly (though subconsciously) affects how we deal with woman. Good call, PairPlus.

That's why one of the most important things we can do as men is to work out diligently. I'm realizing this more and more and PairPlus and BB are driving that point home.

Every workout is a gift to ourselves, a physical demonstration to ourselves that we have core value.

I like that philosphy and attitude about working out, Smasher. Every workout is a gift to ourselves, good stuff. Another philosophy I have about working out is that your body is a temple. When you own a house, you take care of the house, you keep the house maintained. Same thing with your body, maintenance begins at home. And you don't get any closer to home than your body.

I have seen plenty of women taller than their man when out, and it seems okay. Hopefully they don't get as much grief as I have taken from women about the hight difference. Everytime i have been with a woman the same height as me (5'6"), they give me crap. My ex did, but next time married a man shorter than her. I think it's just women being ****y, really. I dated a woman who was 5'11" when I was like 18, and it didn't bother her at all.

I don't know why, but it seems that super-tall women tend to be attracted to me. I'm exactly 6' tall, and of course there are a few taller women running around, plus a 5' 11" woman can easily become taller with heels on. I've never been able to figure out what the amazons see in me since there are plenty of taller men around.
