<p>hey, collegehopeful78, 5'9'' is pretty tall (compared to me) im 5'7'' remember... so you could be worse! Where can i do that stretch thing? do you really shrink back after though?</p>
<p>19, I'm 5'6" and would definitely not date a guy who was shorter than I am, unless he was REALLY amazing. 5'9" is kind of the ballpark minimum, and the shortest guy I've ever dated was 5'11". Shallow, yes, but I like to be able to wear heels...</p>
<p>lol, yes mochamaven you sound very shallow... </p>
<p>oh well, i guess most girls are :(</p>
<p>not sure how that's shallow... sorry for having standards.</p>
<p>I'm 5'6" and don't pursue girls that are 5'6" or taller or are fat... its not that I'm shallow, it's just how it works.</p>
<p>Taffy---> i KNOW people should have standards... I was just saying i think it was shallow for a girl who is short (5'6'' in mochamaven's case) to only date people who are around like 6 feet tall!! If you read this whole thread you will read about girls that are like 5'2'' saying that their limits are 5'9'' guys... now how is that NOT shallow?</p>
<p>Just thought I would add my $.02 -- and note that things have not changed in the last 30 years or so. I'm 5'10" ... and I never wanted to date anyone shorter than me. I prefer 6'2 and up ... but 6'4 is getting pretty tall. My H is just about 6'2 and my sons ended up 5'11 and 6'1.</p>
<p>good thing not all girls are 5'10'' :D lol</p>
<p>5'2" limiting guys to 5'9" is not shallow... a 5'2" girl can be attracted to the same type of guy as a 5'9" girl, and I don't see why the 5'2" girl's height has anything to do with her being shallow while the taller girl isn't.</p>
<p>I did look through this whole thread, and I found the girls a lot more generous towards shorter guys than I would have expected and have experienced first hand.</p>
<p>5</a> Ways To Grow Taller</p>
<p>A 5'2" girls limiting herself to 5'9" guys is shallow when she is 4 inches below average height yet limits herself to guys who are about 1/2 an inch above average. I don't even see the need. She knocks out 1/2 the potential dating pool and there is no realistic reason unless you where 6 inch heels. I really feel bad for guys under 5'5". They cant even get short girls. Who are they supposed to date? Midgets?</p>
<p>And mochmaven is not shallow. She is of average height and is willing to date average height guys. A 4inch difference can be justified easily.</p>
<p>Here is alink about how to get taller:</p>
<p>not sure if its true though</p>
<p>5</a> Ways To Grow Taller</p>
<p>Ayoub, very few girls in this thread have had very high height restrictions, although it'd be ignorant to think that many girls in this thread aren't sugar coating their real opinions to seem more righteous than they really are.</p>
<p>But seriously, it's not really necessary to criticize chicks that don't want to date guys under 5'9", or whatever. We all have certain things that we look for and not every guy is going to fall into every girl's restrictions and vice versa. We're all 'shallow' in our own ways.</p>
<p>mochmaven is slightly above average height (average is 5'5") and 5'9" is slightly below average height (average is 5'10"). 5'8.5" isn't the average height... not in America.</p>
<p>5'10" is the average height for the white male. Minorities are shorter.</p>
<p>Black males average about 5'10" too, collegehopeful. It's hispanic (and probably asian) males who bring the average male height down: hispanic males only average about 5'6".
PS Everyone, the average female height is definitely not 5'6", it's 5'3-5'4".</p>
<p>AUl, it's 5'4.6", I think... but I rounded up to 5'5".</p>
<p>Collegehopeful, the average height, including minorities is still 5'9.6". The average white male is 5'10.2". Average black male is 5'9". Minorities don't bring it down that much.</p>
<p>actually, on second thought, I think that the average American is closer to 5'9", but still slightly above. The average Canadian is 5'9.6", I mixed them up, since we don't have that large hispanic influence.</p>
<p>wow xanthom, that was racist...</p>
<p>ANYWAYS... yeah taffy, russel... i guess you guys are right...</p>
<p>im still depressed about my hieght :(</p>
<p>i love black bean tacos with rice.</p>
<p>ayoub, if you're depressed about your height, just be glad that you don't have any real problems to be depressed about, lol. Because if you did, I'm sure that you wouldn't be worried about being 5'7".</p>
<p>Ayoub, don't worry. I'm 5'3 -- my parents are tiny (5'0 and 5'2) so you're not alone.</p>
<p>I try to not let my height get in the way of my confidence. Be confident and at times you have roll with the punches. You gotta develop a thick skin.</p>

<p>That's their problem, not the 5'2" girl's problem. What is she supposed to lower her personal standards so that the oompa loompa has somebody to put it in? Tough ****, natural selection again. I'm saying this and I'm 5'6"....

<p>Had a rough day taffy? Been rejected? Tough ****.</p>
<p>I'm 5'1", I don't date but I'd get with someone >5'2"... which is pretty much everyone.</p>
