Does A Guy's Height matter??? (merged threads)

[Don-Wan Kenobi]

kissing gets awkward when you're the one on your tiptoes

Hi y'all,

I'm hearing all of you: height is important. There are other qualities that a woman looks for in a man. It's not height in and of itself that is important, but what sort of a feeling, message, or state that relays to the girl.

I really appreciate Big-J's response in particular. He does a good job of summarizing what apppeared on fastsed.

To me, if a woman turns you down, she turns you down. She isn't into you and she doesn't want you wasting any more of your time and attention directed at her. Some chicks just dig tall dudes. Some dudes just dig short chicks, skinny chicks, chicks with big rrracks, etc. It's all a matter of personal preference. Yeah, being tall helps (I've heard) and being intelligent helps (in some instances) and dressing well helps and having a man's body helps and dressing well helps. We're allowed to be less than perfect in at least one area and still score! Remember that!

Also, don't pay attention to what women say they want in a man, unless it's your steady girlfriend doing the talking.

Oh, I wanna man who is tall, dark, and handsome...

And here's what you don't hear her say after you have stopped listening....

and a man who will buy me flowers and call me once a day and only have eyes for me, and do whatever I say and recite poetry before me and take me out for dinner and bare his soul to me and talk about how he feels and stay at home, cooking and cleaning while I work to bring home the bacon. I want a feminist male to call my own...

Y'all see where I'm going with this? There are some women (I don't call them shallow but you may) who will only date a man if he is five or more inches taller than her. She does not represent the majority of women out there. My ex was about two inches taller than me, hot as hell, and I am by no means tall. Most women say they want a tall guy, like they say they want a nice guy, or they say they want a handsome guy, and a rich guy. There are plenty of short, not so nice, ugly, and poor men having sex... at least the last time I checked.

peace

YES!

Actually although most women prefer taller men, it was very rude of her to be this honest. But being 5'9'' won't effect you with most women. Although small guys get laid too, if you are under 5'9'' you have to work much harder than a tall guy.

I have to disagree with Mystery Women's assessment as it is a bit too general. I think if your are below 5-7 then you start having problems because the pool of women who are shorter than you becomes smaller. So as long as you are about 5-7 or 5-8 I think you are fine.

My younger brother is 5-7 but has a passing resemblance to Bradd Pitt and he gets more ***** than anyone I know. His last GF was straight out of a Playboy magazine spread.

My point is that most women would go for a shorter but decent looking and intelligent man vs. a guy who is tall but looks like a dork and has no brains.

Why bother if you can't do anything about it?

 

[Aztec]

Not if you have the money, fame and looks of Tom Cruise.

Women prefer guys taller than them. Maybe 5" taller.

 

[mahon83050]

Oh Christ, he we go again.....please stop making it sound like all the 5'11+ guys get all the girls. I am 5'11.5" which i noticed is pretty tall, atleast in Jersey. (must be all the Italians..they are short) According to stats and what i noticed, I am taller than 75% of the US male population. Well, if women only liked tall men, i should have girls flinging themselves at me because then only 25% of men are attractive to women...what a bunch of BS. Height is overrated and is just an advantage...that is it!! If i had a dime for every guy under 5'11" i saw or knew with a girlfriend....i would be a millionaire.

Andy Lee:

I have a friend who is pushing 5'6" and he has done alot better than me with chicks. He is actually in a serious relationship with a cute girl, while i am lonely. I recently saw a guy who was probably 5'4", bald, overweight with a slight pig nose with a fairly attractive chick. If you want real stats visit shortpersonssupport.com..it has the height preferences for over 177,000 girls in the US. According to these stats, guys 5-10" to 6'2" have the biggest advantage. However, guys who are 5-8" to 5'9" still have a pretty good shot with average height chicks.

Now i will admit, guys under 5'9" will have to struggle a little bit and if you are under 5'5" you are in big trouble. Sounds like this chick was shallow and you did not meet her height requirement, however i think this chick was an exception. 5'9" is dead on average height for the US male and you should not have too many problems. It just makes me angry that people think tall guys have girls throwing themselves at them and average height or short guys have it so bad......you can blame the MEDIA for this overrated feature and Professor Dunbar for his Women prefer taller men research. It just does not do anyone any good. It makes tall men like myself feel guilt that i was blessed with height and short men feel insecure.

I'm so sad that I'm no tall This sucks!!!

I have been wanting to hookup with someone for quite a while now and the thing is that all girls want a tall guy. I am only 5'5"-5'6" and most girls want a guy that they can look up to (literally). I am not too short am I? I usually see them eye to eye level, and I am pretty built just 10% body fat. I try to look as good as I can and I still have no luck. I heard that most girls just like tall guys cause if they would wear heels they still wont be taller than the guy What the hell can I do? I f**king try and try and a girls just can't look past my height. As for looking for a girl that is smaller than me, that's almost impossible. Most are barely shorter than me and most are just my size but again they want tall guys. I try to be as charming as possible but they just wont accept guys my size. SH*T! I can't just grow taller!!! I feel I just won't have anyone to be with and..well...that just makes me feel like if I should give up. Is there something I could do? I have read the DJ Bible and I have tryed some of the tricks but nothin' worked yet. (sigh )

 

[jbbrain]

I don't want to complain I just feel like sh*t knowing there is nothing I can do. EVERY F*CKING DAY I always hear my friends talking about their girlfriend and then ME KNOWING that right now in this generation of today ALL girld for some reason prefer tall guys even if they are skinny tall dorks. I just would like someone to be with. I guess it's too hard to understand since your not me. But oh well

If you are really desperate , you might consider the "fit bone" surgery. Apparently , it is a new technique that is superior to the old limb lengthening surgery.

It claims that It can add up to 5 inches

Mahon,

First off let me say I am not flaming you, I actually think your posts are very good. I've noticed though that you seem to have a fixation with height, even though as you have mentioned many, many, many times you are 5'11.5", which is a very good height. Usually it's people at either extreme (under 5'7" and over 6'5") who have a fixation. I am 5'9.5" but didn't really start growing until I was 15 (was 5'2.5" at my 15th birthday) so I tend to notice these posts more than others. I was just wondering why your fixation on height?

 

[jakethasnake]

Re: im............

That's perfect.

Wow, you're the perfect human specimen.

Unbridled 1,

He's also insecure about a whole SLEW of other things. Sometimes, people are just what they are. And Mahon is just what he is -- INSECURE.

I mean, I don't wanna sound like a jerk, but with all the knowledge he has accumulated in his YEARS here, he should have had a date by now. But he just posts asinine posts concerning height or some other crap that doesn't really matter.

I'm 5'6, and I think short guys like us really need to do several things:

-Try to maximise height by working out, wearing clothing which shows height, etc.
-Use personality as a boost


One problem with non-DJing (e.g. a professional environment) is other tall guys tend to look down on you. This could hurt promotion, lead to unbalanced power fights, etc. 55% of you is judged by your appearance, around 30% is your body language, and the rest by your content (of speech).


So far, I've noticed black/dark clothing makes you look less short. Wearing one colour from head to toe helps, with no lines to divide you. Speaking louder, and using arms to emphasise also works. Also, being tanned actually makes you seem taller.

Not sure what else there is.

 

[Technocrap]

Height does matters.

- short...need to be like Joe Pesci from casino if ya want to be
taken seriously

frame matters - need to be like Joe Pesci from casino if ya want to
be taken seriously

gotta be taken seriously.

If you dont feel safe she wont :-(

I'm 5ft 6 and slim. Man it sucks. I got personality, confidence, but it hard to DJ because you got so much more work to do.

I love to be 5ft 10 and have a larger frame. I need va va voom.

Being taller make it easier 4 sure and having a good frame is even better.
