GIRLS: What is the shortest guy you would date?

[Ayoub]

<p>KindlyCuddly, im still waiting for your answers to my questions!</p>

[KindlyCuddly]

<p>^ I’m not going to answer it, lest I have “SHALLOW” stamped on my head in bold red letters. And it doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>

It’s odd because the media seems to convey the notion that most men are attracted to blonds above all others.

</p>

<p>I’m a little late, but I’m going to add that that notion could not be farther from the truth.</p>

<p>Dark hair is 10x sexier.</p>

[Russell7]

<p>Yeah it’s a misconception. Here’s one of the studies that I read.</p>

<p>[The</a> American image of beauty: media representations of hair color for four decades | Sex Roles: A Journal of Research | Find Articles at BNET.com](<a href=“http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2294/is_n1-2_v29/ai_14526341/pg_1]The”>http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2294/is_n1-2_v29/ai_14526341/pg_1)</p>

<p>

Findings should be viewed in the context of recent evidence concerning the hair-color ideals of White American college students. Jacobi and Cash (1992) observed that although only 22% of women sampled were natural blondes, 39% reported that they wished to be blonde. Strikingly, 84% believed that men preferred blonde women. In reality, however, only 35% of the men preferred blonde women; 51% preferred brunettes and 14% preferred redheads. Apparently men have not adopted the blonde beauty preference to the extent that women believe. Similar conclusions exist for distorted assumptions about other physical ideals and body images (Cash & Brown, 1989; Fallon, 1990; Jacobi & Cash, 1992).

<p>why not KindlyCuddly? Its only 2 easy questions :(</p>

[polydentate]

<p>I’m 5’9.5" and I’ve never dated anyone before, and I probably wouldn’t go out with someone shorter.</p>

[Suavemente]

<p>So girls won’t guy out with shorter guys, and I am a guy that won’t go out with those iron giant women. Goes both ways.</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>^ I KNOW!!! it does go both ways… girls that are 5’10’'+ always call guys short… WHAT IF YOUR JUST a F<em>**in GIANT B</em>*CH???</p>

[elizlan]

<p>Woah calm down man! haha</p>

<p>I find shorter guys hot, but I’m already self-conscious enough. I don’t want a guy to think of me, as Ayoub says," f-in giant bi-otch" </p>

<p>I’m about 5’8" and I think the average girl is what, 5’3" ? So it’s not that I have something against short guys, but I don’t like the way I look.</p>

<p>The shortest guy I’ve dated was around 5’6"- a whole 2 inches shorter. And he often made me FEEL worse about myself saying things like “God, you’re a skyscraper!” which is why it didn’t last long. </p>

<p>I don’t need to be made to feel ugly by my BOYFRIEND of all people. It’s not as if I was saying, “Why are you so short?” Why do people have to make others feel bad about something that absolutely can’t be changed? </p>

<p>The thing is, a lot of short guys tend to carry a chip on their shoulder about their height. </p>

<p>I prefer a guy my height or taller, which is fine I think because most guys don’t want to date girls taller than them anyway.</p>

<p>What’s strange is, almost every tiny girl, I’m talking <5 feet, has dated GIANT guys and are very picky. My stepmom is 4’10" and my dad is 6’6" and she said she’s always only dated tall guys. What’s up with that? Are teensy girls making up for their height with uber-tall guys or something?</p>

<p>Anyway sorry for the rambling. I don’t think shorter guys are at that bad of a disadvantage though. There are plenty of short girls. It seems worse for girls that are 6 feet or more really haha</p>

[collegehopeful78]

<p>Elizlan what type of guy were you with? Not everyone is like Ayoub. Most real men wouldn’t think twice about it. Its usually the girl who has problems with it. And there’s nothing wrong with a girl being 5’8". I would never turn down a girl of that height. I never knew girls thought of height as much as guys did.</p>

<p>Short guys date tall guys to ensure their children are tall. Although some things can’t be altered. My mom is about 5’7" and my dad was 6’0" and I didn’t turn out tall.</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>^ thanks for the post elizlan :), i read it twice. I agree with everything you said!

So it’s not that I have something against short guys, but I don’t like the way I look.

i understand

Why do people have to make others feel bad about something that absolutely can’t be changed?

sadly, i have no clue

The thing is, a lot of short guys tend to carry a chip on their shoulder about their height.

lol, also true

Are teensy girls making up for their height with uber-tall guys or something?

LOL, i know! this thread is aimed at those women!

It seems worse for girls that are 6 feet or more really haha

yep, but i would date you even though im 1’’ shorter and that bf of yours is a d*ck! i would nvr call you a skyscraper!</p>

what the F*** collegehopeful78! I would date someone taller then me! did you get the whole point of my F***IN thread? Its about me NOT LIKING people that THINK about height! GOD DAMN you collegehopeful78, dont insult ppl you dont know!</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>^ god an i thought you were cool :(</p>

<p>“most men aren’t like ayoub”…sheesh, thanks for ruining my day!</p>

[collegehopeful78]

<p>I am cool dude. Read post # 372.</p>

<p>It is sad that this thread is 26 pages though.</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>yeah, i know she said she doesn’t want ppl calling her giant like me because i said:

^ I KNOW!!! it does go both ways… girls that are 5’10’'+ always call guys short… WHAT IF YOUR JUST a F<em>**in GIANT B</em>*CH???

BUT, she and you both took me wrong! I was saying that people that call 5’8’’ men short should shut up if they are 5’11’‘+ because they are giants for thier sex! i was referring to those girls, not just every girl that is 5’11’'+</p>

[Russell7]

<p>Although some things can’t be altered. My mom is about 5’7" and my dad was 6’0" and I didn’t turn out tall.</p>

<p>How tall was your milk man? lol.</p>

<p>Actually the same thing happened to me. Mom is 5’6", dad is 6’2", and I’m 5’9".</p>

<p>I don’t think shorter guys are at that bad of a disadvantage though. There are plenty of short girls. It seems worse for girls that are 6 feet or more really haha</p>

<p>It depends. 6 foot chicks are still probably better off than guys 5’6", for instance. And 5’6" guys are a LOT more prevalent that 6’ tall chicks.</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>lol, my dad is 5’11’’ but my mom is 4’9’’ so at least i didn’t get 100% of my moms genes :)</p>

<p>Short guys date tall guys?..</p>

[collegehopeful78]

<p>Short girls…my bad.</p>

[Ayoub]

<p>^ duh, happens ALL the time… when i use to work for Cold Stone i saw a asian guy (like 5’6’‘) with this 5’11’’ white girl, but he was REALLY cool and funny and awesome so thats what really counts!</p>
