I was out with a few mates and spot this chick who everyone is trying to hit on. She looked ok but was kinda tall which made her look more attractive. Had high heels onto and wa probably a few inches taller then me.
So girls would you go out with a guy shorter then you.

damn! give me her number!
dont have it myself, so you like tall chicks too get fp175's number
I'm tall and wear heels when I go out. I get hit on by guys of all heights. I used to care about being with a shorter guy but then I met a hot guy who was an inch shorter than me. Now I don't care and would get with any guy who is attractive and interesting.
Pics please.
Some girls can be too tall. Saw this one chick tall like a giraffe and high heels. very long legs but a bit too tall.
Is 5'10" too tall? :(
Not for me.
i dont like guys that are a lot shorter. maybe my height, that'd be okay. but im 5'9 and i need a guy at least 6'. that's my preference though.
no, fp175- it hink 5'10 is the perfect height ;x, i wish i were an inch taller
But shorter guys try way harder to please ;) It's a trade-off, hehe.
thats guys who feel like they cant cut it. If the girls tall short, way goodlooking or avg. I dont try to hard I can cut it. Dont need to try to hard in any dept plus never had any complaints.
One of my ex's was a good 3-4 inches taller then me and I aint short. I pleased her quite well. Only problem with tall girls is that your more difficult to randomly pick up. But your long legs compensate for that.
Not too tall if your figure is slim
Doesnt have to always be slim but has to look right. one of my friends isnt that slim but she looks cute and has a curvy body which looks hot is about 5'11 and carrys it well.
fair enough. i definitely applaud guys for trying though, especially when they're confident. i wouldn't write the guy off yet, but if he has a napoleon-esque complex, forget it.
and yes, they do try way harder to please. it's just awkward when they have to stand on their tippie toes to kiss you on the forehead..
If the guy s after a girl for the sake she is tall thats another issue. I am saying tall attractive girls. Not just a girl cos she appens to be a certain height. Long legs ha something to do with it.
I suppose a short guy cant help having to tiptoe if she is too tall. Probably can work out other ways or places to kiss her. Just knock her legs apart and she will come down a few inches.
Haha true. Although I wouldn't go for a short guy. I couldn't go shorter than 5'8" to be honest.
Me and u got a chance then as am taller then that. Where that pic.
So 5'8 is your minimum. Look at Bernie Eccelstone he is 5'4 and is married to a supermodel about a foot taller then him. Obviously the billion pounds has something to do with it.
My last two exs were pretty tall (5'8 and 5'9), and now my gf is very short (5'2). The short girl friend is where it's at. This is only talking from a purely physical standpoint. There are so many more things that goes into whether I will invest myself in a girl or not.
(I am 5'10 by the way) My brother dates a bunch of model from Russia that are taller than him, and he likes it. Everybody is weird in their own ways.
So to answer the OP, why bother with a girl thats taller than you? Just get a shorter girl.
BOOO you suck
That's what she said.
Hmmm
You know I remember having a long chat with a dear colleague of mine (single). I listened sympathetically as she went on for some time about how shallow guys can be in terms of looks, always going for the blonds, etc. (she is Asian and cute)
Then, without missing a beat, she casually rattled off a list of "minimum" physical standards (including height) for the man she needed to have. I mean - totally straight-faced - without a hint of irony.
So... what to say to that? I guess being honest counts for something.
It doesnt matter ito me if she is taller or shorter. Both have their advantages. I got a girl anyway who is just a little shorter then me.
Definite fan of the shorties.
Well I've spent my life having a manageable height difference between myself and men because I'm tall. Most guys I've dated have been 2-3 inches taller than me. I've had one major height gap (he was 6'7) and it felt pretty weird. So I'd prefer having near my height, either a little over or a little under.
If I met a great guy who was 5'5 I'd give him a chance, but to be honest I'd prefer someone that I could look in the eye.
Fair enough.
I wonder if women care about height more. My cute Asian friend had done a fairly detailed analysis of handicapping guys based on height, and was able to break it down precisely - almost down to the inch.
What about 6'4? haha
Tall girls can become big girls easily... that's the drawback.
It's one thing to have your 5'7 girlfriend/wife have a kid and put on 35 lbs, it's a totally different story to have you 5'10 girlfriend/wife/mistress put on 50 lbs and look like a linebacker.
Actually, a tall girl has to gain much more weight to become fat compared to a short girl. Your shorty can start to look like a fatty with an extra 15 pounds. And taller women have faster metabolisms on average.
Cackmenimble, I agree that tall girls throwing on weight puts them out of contention much quicker than shorter girls. That being said, a tall girls is usually a no go in my book if she isn't a little curvy whereas I would have no problem dating a shorter girl that is just skinny and straight (weird how that works, I guess there's a fine line). As for preference, I'm 5'7 and for some reason had a string of girlfriends around 2-3 inches taller than me (i wasn't targeting taller girls, it just was a coincidence). I didn't mind it while dating them, but my last girlfriend was 5'3 and after dating the shorter girl, I don't think I can ever go back to a taller girl.
My GF is 5'3 and I'm 6'1... all is good in the hood.
Tall girls have attitude problems, maybe from playing too much volleyball, softball, or basketball [How's that for generalizations]...
fp175, I believe we were implying that the tall chicks putting on weight is a problem not because they start looking chubby quicker than a short girl putting on comparable weight, but more like in the event that they start looking chubby (and if you are correct, this takes longer), then this becomes a problem because now they are not only taller, but are also much bigger than us in general. They go from wide receiver physique to defensive end/D tackle, which is unacceptable if I'm still the size of Barry Sanders. For me, a short girl that was initially quite skinny would still be "smaller" than me in general if she gained 10 pounds, even if gaining 10 pounds makes a more noticeable difference on her than a taller chick.
I know this seems really confusing, but I hope it all makes sense. But in all honesty, if I realize a girl has fat potential (poor diet habits, no workout motivations, no skinny person in the family) I usually give her the boot before she has the opportunity to get fat. Call me shallow, but I don't believe in dating someone I'm not attracted to, and I'm definitely not attracted to fat people. However, I will admit that my rationale for giving the boot would most likely cease to exist if it was a long term relationship and I was in love with the girl (i.e. I wouldn't dump a girlfriend of 4 years because she gained 15 pounds out of nowhere if I was in love with the girl).
I see.
Any woman who is not committed to keeping her body right for her man is a waste of a girlfriend. Short of weight gain due to the pill or getting pregnant, putting on more than 10 pounds without trying to get it off is just unfair.
I will probably increase my gym time when I get into my next relationship just to make sure my ass stays looking right.
For the record, short girls must understand that they need to stay fit. It's part of the 'being short' laws.
Tall girls are fine too, no doubt.
Shorts girl with 15 lbs---frumpy
Tall girl with 25 lbs---can't bring home to mom/friends
Why the hell wait until you're in a relationship? Give guys something good to look at in the mean time.
I'm saying when I do settle down with some guy, I'll keep it looking right. That means extra gym time because my boyfriends are always trying to feed my ass.
Of course I am in shape now though; there is no reason not to look your best with what you've got. I'm tall so I work on the legs, they're my moneymaker, if you will.
I'll need evidence of that
fp175
you've got the right ideas. your future bf/fiance is lucky.
fp175
you've got the right ideas. your future bf/fiance is lucky.
Tall, short, whatever, its all the same lying down...Can't remember where I heard this..
no it's not.
Use your imagination babes.
I'm thinking long legs and nice ass
Post a picture of yourself fp175, of course put a trash bag over your head to remain anonymous.
LOL.
make sure its in high heels, mini skirt/hot pants, with cleavage.
hahah, unfortunately I'd be immediately recognizable even with a trash bag on my head. There aren't a lot of bankers in London with my features.
Your in London, I thought you were in the states. From now on I will keep a look out for a sexy 5'10 banker with hot legs. Am sure your not the only one. So go ahead and post.
Something like this
http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1023055/2/istockphot…
short girls are where its at
it's all about the heels to ass ratio. The most important ratio that they didn't teach you in the training class.
I didnt need to be taught this stuff. came to me naturally. i am self taught. You can't get this stuff out of a text book. Its practical experience.
Short guys remind me of my kid brother. Quite a turnoff.
Nice analogy there.
fuck all you bitches
I'm 6 2''. Muahhhahahaha...
i love tall girls but with my experience tall girls are less horny than short girls
That's probably because we get more ass.
FP 175, I'm calling you out as a long legged fraud.
Get or give.
LOL
back out, thought you were gonna let me know once you start at work. I hope you put your money where your mouth is as I will be doing a full analysis of those legs you claim to be your moneymakers.
Lmao, random this forum wouldn't be the same without you! This guy is hilarious.
what do girls consider a guy who is around 5'9/5'10/5'11 range in height?
I think that is like an average height for guys. Enough to be taller than the majority of women.
The average American is around 5 9, the average american woman is around 5 4.
The average Man from Holland is 6 1.
(highest average in the world)
Yeah, Americans are midget folk.
so would you taller girls (I guess 5'6-5'11') consider the 5'9'' -5'11' range for a guy tall enough.
they must be eating something good in holland for that sort of avg height
The average woman in Holland is 5'10. They're giants. Most Scandanavians and even Germans are ludicrously tall compared to Americans.
What an idiot question.
No, of course not. Short men are racially inferior, and to mix short genes with tall genes is genetic suicide.
sternfox you need to relax...that is not an idiot question and you sound like the type of idiot who would only say comments like that behind a forum and never to someone's face. BTW, there are plenty of dudes that are 6'2+ and are uncoordinated, awkward, and not good looking. Brad Pitt is 5'11'' and I believe its safe to say that he is not considered 'racially inferior'. If you have nothing good to say keep your mouth shut.
"who would only say comments like that behind a forum and never to someone's face."
Unfortunately for you, I don't have qualms about that either. ;)
The comment was meant as a joke, mocking the naive nature of your question.
And yes, your question is idiotic because it doesn't account for personality, intelligence, net asset value, and a myriad other factors that define attractiveness.
now this is a smart guy...can't forget NAV
"Unfortunately for you, I don't have qualms about that either. ;)."
sternfox, if you are a dude, it's obvious that your inner-homosexual desires have manifested themselves (granted I'm gorgeous and irresistible to all sexes) and you tapped into your sweeter and softer side in hopes of appeasing me. Notice how he puts "I don't have qualms about that either ;)." Looks like someone was trying to break the ice - aww, you are sooo cute!
while I'm flattered by your urge to flirt with me, I'm going to have to decline. Looks like you'll have to go pack fudge elsewhere.
oy! internet forum drama! hope no one throws an e-punch
LOL.
What a magnificent tool. Looks like someone wants to flex his man boobs on the virtual space.
The average german man is around 5 11.5''. I think the average woman in holland is around 5 8 ...meaning the average woman in holland is nearly same height as the average American man.
fp175 your not from holland or germany are you
Nope. Just tall.
Met a guy this weekend who was 6'5, I got his attention right away as he could actually look me in the face with my 3 inch heels. All the short bitches were giving me dirty looks in the bathroom. It must be much harder to get noticed when you're 5'3 in a dark, crowded club.
I heard eating a steady diet of fried chicken, watermelon, and grape soda can do wonders for a child's potential height.
there goes sternfox again...dude...you should be thinking about female boobs...not man boobs...i don't think a fudgepacker like you is in any position to call someone a tool...take your male fantasizing elsewhere...
Brad Pitt is only 5'11"? What a shrimp.
Laxer, LOL, what a oversensitive idiot.
"Brad Pitt is only 5'11"? What a shrimp."
Actually Johnny Depp is 5'10' and I think I have an unnatural amount of female friends who go gaga at the sight of him.
fp175, were you around Sloane this weekend by any chance?
Did you try it on with no success. What happened did you get a drink thrown in your face or a slap.
Sloane Square? No.
"It must be much harder to get noticed when you're 5'3 in a dark, crowded club."
Didn't you blend in with the darkness?
If you're a girl and you're even a hair above 5'11 then you probably have more testosterone than estrogen and I consider you a man.
Supermodels?
^^now that you mention it... i really haven't seen many girls over 6 or 5'11'.... but then heels could go upto 4-5 inches.... I still don't get how you can be stable in those though :D
Tall, short it doesnt matter to me, I like them all.
I'm just a hair under 6' btw
Never. 'eh I'm about 5'5" so the average guy is generally taller anyway . However, my preference would be 6'0", 6'1". 5'11" is acceptable. 5'10" is pushing it.
Would ladies go out with guys shorter than them? Better question: Would guys date ladies 100lbs heavier than them? With a snaggletooth?
Be honest. This is a 2-way street.
True.
Most women can't date men smaller than them. Smaller in height or smaller in weight.
For me, 5'11 to 6'1 at about 195 lbs. would be ideal.
In the spirit of honesty, I'll admit this though... funny and true... several years ago I dated a George Costanza type. He was smart, had a sharp wit, made me laugh, was a great kisser and incredibly sensual. He has been the only exception, otherwise I'm firm on the height/weight!!
Ha, I wouldnt say that. I'm 5'11 and only about 155lbs and I have no problem scoring with fat chicks. :P
"For me, 5'11 to 6'1 at about 195 lbs. would be ideal."
I'm 6' 2 and 220 pounds. Am I too racially superior for you to handle?
Yes.
pity, my dear. BTW, the average male is 4.5-5 inches taller than the average female.
So if your ideal is more than 5'10 you are reaching too far into superior genetic fluids.
I'm a high achiever.
ok, seriously if a man makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful woman in the world and I know he is absolutely crazy about me... then who cares about the height/weight. I dated someone that was about 6'2" and 220 lbs. a total linebacker type build... actually he played football at Tulane... anyways, the relationship didn't work not because he didn't make me happy (he did) but because he was actually much younger. There's younger/mature and then there's younger/drastically immature. Otherwise, dating younger isn't too shabby :-)
Interesting situation. I was in a similiar one more than a year ago. I was the younger party, and it was the "younger/mature" thing between us. I adored her and was absolutely crazy about her, but the problem was that I was never there. So it faded away as such.
She was thin, 5'5 and 110 pounds. I was exactly two times her size and weight.
"keselschlacht" in this context is the disintegration of the opposing party's will and ability to resist.
"Men... women... it's never equitable is it?"
Nope, especially during lawsuits particularily.
Why is younger ok with you? Most women would prefer someone with a superior breathe of experience and emotional reliability.
That's not exactly equitable, is it?
get a pair of nice shoes, preferrably with nice thin heels and a bit of a lift.
Deceive the male masses, manipulate their minds through false imagery.
Once the schwerpunkt is achieved, utilize all available resources to complete the kesselschlacht.
What's "keselschlacht"?
Men... women... it's never equitable is it?
You know, I've always had a degree of remorse about this guy. I just stopped talking to him. He would call and I wouldn't return his calls. He would send me an email and I wouldn't write back. I might have been older and more well aware, but I admit I handled that horribly. Looking back I guess it was because I knew I would wind up hurting him. So I bailed. Totally the wrong thing to do :-(
Anyways, what goes around comes around, right? It has. There's been a fella or two since then that completely bailed on me same way. Touche.
Why is younger ok with me? Good question. Let's see... Well, I suppose there's various reasons. First, I look significantly younger than my age so I generally attract younger men. Second, I don't want to be with someone that has "baggage". I have no baggage, i.e. I've never been married, have no children, never been engaged, have never lived with someone, etc. Third, not all, but most, older men are just tired, cynical, selfish. The younger guys are refreshing, still optimistic. energetic, willing to try new things. That said, I generally attract the younger guys with an older soul. I don't disregard older men, it's just that statistically speaking, I find them arrogant. I'm pretty down to earth and if anything stirs me is how arrogant men get once they've made their money etc. Total turn off.
Did you stop talking to him because you were too afraid that he might draw you in again, and cause you more pain?
My advice to you is to not do something like that to another man ever again; If you handle these things poorly, some men may snap and try to get revenge in the most twisted, mindfucking way possible. I've seen that before. It comes from an extended time without closure.
"That said, I generally attract the younger guys with an older soul. "
Hehehe, if that ain't a bitch. So you attract younger men that are tired, cynical, selfish, and arrogant.
Maybe you're just an older woman with a "younger soul"?
You've never lived with anybody before? LOL, living with someone is the only way you can learn them without any window dressing. It's the only way you can genuinely know someone; see how they behave when they drop their guard.
Sternfox... you're quite the astute one.
Yes, I am the older woman with the younger soul :-)
Yes. I think I stopped talking to him because I was afraid that he might draw me in again. Lame.
I agree with you in that an extended time without closure is not a good thing. Lesson learned.
There are several reasons people bail in such a cold way. I know why I did it years ago and again, I've had men bail on ME since then. In the one instance, years later I got closure. In the other instance, no closure. Verdict still out on that one...
Anyways, I've come to believe people bail when they've been insincere, or when they've been unfaitful and sometimes people bail, not because a connection isn't there, but perhaps because maybe they're not ready to deepen a relationship so they bail because it's the easier exit vs. having a difficult conversation where the other party might get hurt. It's the cowardly bail.
Are you in your late 20s?
Thanks for the compliment, but it's more due to my past experiences rather than my social awareness. I've seen a fair share of drama as well.
You remind me a hell of lot of my ex, she was five years older than me and had a similiar way of thinking. She was younger at heart too, and very cute but still capable of mature, analytical thoughts.
My ex tried to bail on me three times. The first two times was through phone/email, and the final time...was moving her things out of our apartment without me knowing it. Every time, she explained to me that "it isn't you, it's...all this". Every single time when she saw me again, she recinded her actions, apologized fiercely....and resumed things like normal until everything finally folded.
Hey, I agree fully with your last statement. So true, so true...it's cowardly in my opinion, at least most of the time.
Just curious, what made you so unhappy about the first fellow?
For me, she hated my nonpresence and how I too often treated her like a doll... a little condescending.
Which fellow? The younger guy who I bailed on?
yep
...
so are you two (sternfox and aadpepsi) dating now?
i'm still trying to figure out where this thread turned into e-harmony.
aadpepsi is one very unstable individual
I can't help but roll my eyes when people say the word "closure", like wtf exactly are you looking for ?
She isn't unstable. I don't find anything odd about what she is saying at all.
As for rolling your eyes at "closure", I guessing you have never spent a LONG time with a romantic partner.
It's hard to explain. When you spend a long time with someone, and you're to the point when marriage is a real possibility...and it all changes in a half a month, "closure" becomes a very real word.
A year or years of love and respect, and trading your most innermost thoughts to another person isn't peanuts or something to mock at.
Some of us are at the stage where we don't go around sleeping with whoever we want to because there is a modicrum of self-respect and the desire for it to mean something.
Sorry dude. Emotional relapse. Won't happen again :-)
BTW, Seanc, I deleted my post because as honest as it was I realized it's personal information that I don't want to broadcast on a forum.
Anyways, I was thinking about your unstable comment... I'm generally pretty thick skinned and don't take offense too easily... but in this case I'm sorry to tell you this, but you probably have yet to face substantial disappointment in your life - professionally and personally. In some areas you're going to make great decisions, in others you're not. Inevitably you're going to get hurt and an occasion will come when you can't make sense of it. The value of the experience is what you learn from it. And the learning will not be immediate. You'll reflect on it much later when you have greater clarity and can benefit from the fresh perspective that additional experience provides. It doesn't make someone unstable to have made poor choices. Do you understand that?
The reason people seek closure is out of respect for the time and energy spent in relationships and to honor the fact that someone has been vulnerable enough to open themselves up, share themselves with you, in spite of their fears and insecurities. If the subject of "closure" makes you roll your eyes and makes you uncomfortable then perhaps you're the type of person who shifts in the face of difficult conversations and you can't handle them. Most men can't. It's something you should work on.
Back to tall chicks... long legs... fake boobs... whatever...
haha, i was just messing with you two... but seriously, it was a rather interesting change in the thread
