<p>5'2 is not freakishly short for a girl, it's slightly below average. Isn't the avg height for women like 5'3 or 5'4? </p>
<p>See, I don't have to worry about breeding because I don't want kids. Even if I did, I still wouldn't mind as long as the person is at least my height or slightly taller. The kids would still be freakishly tall, lol, esp. if they were girls. Both my parents are tall though, my mom is 5'7"1/2 and my dad is 6'3". Honestly, as long as you are at least the same height as me, we don't have a problem. It just happens that "the same height as me" is 5'9". If I were shorter, I'm sure I'd think the same thing. </p>
<p>Guys complain about girls being picky about height, but guys are just as picky about girls too. Some guys won't date a girl as tall as me, even if they are still taller. Some guys refuse to date any girls that are bigger than a size 6. Some guys won't date girls that don't have at least a C cup. If all we get to be picky about is height, well, we're still getting the short end of the stick here.</p>
<p>Girls are picky about personality stuff though, rarely about physical stuff, besides like height, sometimes. A girl might SAY she likes, you know, blond haired blue eyed all-American type, but end up dating someone completely different, it happened to me. all through high school I only had crushes on blonds, but my ex-boyfriend is Hispanic. He looks completely different from my "type" but I still liked him anyway. (note: he was only barely taller than me. If I wore heels, I was taller.) I liked him because he was funny, and a good dancer, and liked to have fun. He had big ears and too-bushy eyebrows and ridiculously poofy hair if he let it grow out too much, but that didn't make me like him any less at the time. </p>
<p>And Armando, I define "tall" as being able to see over most other people's heads if you're in a crowd. My mom can do that, and so can I. You have no idea how much I wish 5'7" was the avg height for women, so then I wouldn't feel like so much of a giant all the time. I rarely meet girls that are as tall as I am (5'9"). I know two, and they are both 5'10. (well, besides girls from the women's basketball team... one of those girls is HUGE she's like 6'7"!)</p>
<p>Honestly, most of the girls I know, even tall ones, aren't dating guys that are 6'2"-6'4" because THERE ARENT THAT MANY OF THOSE GUYS TO BEGIN WITH. Trust me, I've looked. So stop blaming phantom tall guys for your issues with girls.</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately, girls want tall guys. Sucks, huh? I rarely work out, am so pale Casper would ask me if I was feeling alright, have little interest in relationships, and I still do pretty well dating, as it were. I'm guessing it's because I'm 6'2''.</p>
<p>Lesson: girls are fickle... so deal with it, because the alternative is turning gay.</p>
<p>As you guys pointed out, being 6ft+ for a guy is really important. They have it so much easier. I'm 5'11 and slim but that doesn't get me anywhere. </p>
<p>Girls are more superficial than guys! Guys only look for decent-good looking girls, but girls give an equal importance to good looks and personality!!</p>

<p>I don't think that superficial means what you think it means...</p>
<p>First your height shouldn't be a problem and if it is then its the girl who has the problem not you. Second dont change your personality or listen to the girls prefer bad boys bs (I know a lot that dont ) and those that do have severe psychological problems.lol!
From what you have said here I have no idea why you are having dating trouble-you sound like a really great guy.You say that girls just want to be your friend. I would suggest that you ask one of them that you trust to be honest with you and tell you what you did that turned her off. If you know then you can work on it or look for a better girl (depending on the answer!) and dont worry too much dating can be really hard and its not always the best looking that are most sucessful.</p>

<p>This is actually, unintentionally, really insulting to short guys. I know your trying to be nice, but I guarantee that it has nothing to do with OP's personality. Zero. Women respond emotionally and not logically. He can't alter his behavior to get women. Attraction is not rational.</p>
<p>It's very confusing for short guys when women pretend that it's because "there wasn't a click" or "something about him wasn't right" when in reality, they should just be honest and say "I'm looking for a taller guy." From the orginal poster's description, he never even considered his height. Untill recently, I never considered my height. Yet every action, and every aspect of my personality is perceived differently simply because of my smaller stature. I'm considered delusional if I act manly and agressive, yet wimpy if I'm passive in my actions. If I'm ambitious, I have the dreaded "napoleon complex." Clearly, if I was tall, this wouldn't be a problem. Thus women may THINK it's our personality that's turning them off, but it's not. </p>
<p>I have hooked up with Latina and Asian women, but never a caucasion women. Clearly, this isn't a coincidence. And where I live, plently of guys are tall. </p>
<p>Less than 3% of CEOs are 5'7 or under. And yet society says "oh, you're just being paranoid! Height isn't important."</p>

I'm asian, so I'm not trying to get with caucasian girls.

<p>That's true with any race. People may say that they're open to dating people of another race, but they subconsciously look for people within their race. I don't care if any girl says, "I'm American but this guy I like is Polish" - they're both white anyway. That's my point.</p>
<p>I find caucasian girls hot, but I don't try to get with them because I know I can't.</p>
