<p>You fail reading comprehension because you took what I said way too literally. As if anyone here knows anymore about this **** than I do. Anyone can find out about this stuff on google, it does not make you anymore special or intelligent you arrogant prick. I can't believe this crap is now 12 pages. Clearly some people think the internet is serious business.</p>
<p>dbear, can I ask you why the first thing on your mind is how tall your kids will be? Sure being tall helps being a good athlete, but to get into a college, you need both brains and brawn. If there were a guy who had everything but were my height, would you consider him? Or would you take a mediocre to better than mediocre guy who was 6'3''? I'm not saying I have "everything," but giving a hypothetical. better yet, a harvard guy my height, or a loyola maryland 6'4''?</p>
<p>dbear, all I did was exaggerate an analogy and people get all up in airs as if I said the most retarded thing of the decade. No, I'm not being nice 'cause niceness doesn't do **** to stop arrogant pricks.</p>
<p>it certainly isn't the FIRST thing on my mind. as you see, it was included in my second post. i don't look at a guy and judge him strictly on that. surely, if he was truly interested in me and had everything going for him i'd consider his entire persona. so yes, i would certainly consider him. i would just have a second thought about the whole height thing, and my reasons for that would be those previously stated. but keep in mind, your subjective opinion of having everything may be different from someone else's idea of having everything.</p>
<p>the theoretical situations you have just played out will gather various responses from various girls depends on a bazillion other conditions and their preferences btw. if you want my opinion tho, which i ask you not get offended by since i am not blatantly judging you as a person since i do not know you past these posts, but my general opinions, here they are: if you could find a "mediocre" guy taller than the other "mediocre" guy and your preference is taller men, why not the taller guy? it would never come to this tho. there would be other factors. as you mentioned, the harvard guy may be much more charming or financially set than the loyola man which i would find more attractive... but i certainly am not going to pick my next bf via school brand. however, the harvard label certainly does carry its perks.. but that is a whole other discussion.</p>
<p>...but now i'm intrigued, are you even shorter than me? what taller girl situation have you been in that's urging you to argue the misconception that height is the only thing girls judge you on?</p>

I'd imagine that it's because we all worry about how they'll develop; I don't think anyone particularly wants their sons to end up very short because we know how guys don't want to end up becoming short. Subconciously, this may explain why girls care about height, but it's not a main factor when it comes to settling down.</p>
<p>dbear - i think lakrosse said he was like 5'2 or something (sorry if i got that wrong) so i guess he's a little shorter than you...anyway i've never really thought about how tall my kids would be, but now I am lol. </p>
<p>I'm a 5'1" girl, but while the women in my family are short, the men are all tallish - my dad is nearly 6 ft, my male cousins are all 5'11-6'2ish, so I'm guessing my son, if i have one, will probably be tallish and daughter shorter - nothing wrong with that, I think. I'm not going out of my way to find a tall guy to procreate with lol. to be honest, I don't think i'd ever date a guy around my own height, and definitely not shorter, because he would be almost a midget then...my past boyfriends were all average to tall, one was only 5'6 (but that was when we were 15 so he's taller now) I don't really care how tall the guy is as long as he's taller than me, and i don't think it's selfish at all when women like dbear want that too.</p>
<p>I think the OP thinks height is the only things girls judge him on because it's easy to say, she doesn't like me cause i'm short! when it could be something else entirely. but who knows?</p>
<p>yuuup. all the guys i've seen have been taller than me. ranging from 5'8 to 6'2. so the only real "cut-off" i have is my own height. (understand it's not a FINITE decision factor tho, just generally, first impression wise cuz damn if some duke is 5'2 and charms my pants off after months of adoration, well there's nothing i can do about that! lol)</p>
<p>"it's easy to say, she doesn't like me cause i'm short!"</p>
<p>haha stargazerlilies, yes, my thoughts exactly..
but i didn't want to assume so i asked him if anything happened.</p>
<p>lakrosse don't get offended by that tho, if that's the case, just know that it probably isn't all about the height, okay?</p>
<p>not attempting to stir up the dying topic, but notice how you stated "if some duke is 5'2 and charms my pants off after months of adoration, well there's nothing i can do about that!" Aren't you implying that a person taller than 5'2 would have an easier time getting with you?
My previously stated equation of win: "short+great personality = tall+ ok personality" seems to be correct. If you're short, you better be charismatic and outgoing, because otherwise, the guy who is taller will get more attention.</p>
<p>with me, yes, probably. with every girl on the planet? no. like i said before, it just depends on preferences and we're entitled to that just as you are.</p>
<p>woami - I disagree with your formula, personally...I think the charismatic and outgoing thing is true for really short people, but not 2-3 inches under...i'm 5'1 and haven't had this problem, or at least i'm not extremely outgoing or particularly charismatic - i'm pretty average. of course I don't get as much attention as the gorgeous modelesque girls, but i'll admit that's partly my fault for not being especially sociable or stepping outside my comfort zone, although i'm trying to change that in college. but i don't think i have a lot of trouble getting with guys. I notice i get approached a bit more by short guys than my taller friends, since they probably figure they'll have a better chance with me, but the taller guys seem to approach me as well, so it's all good...lol :)</p>

<p>All I am trying to do at this point is saying that I'm not the dumbass you're trying to make me look like. This topic itself has been beaten to death and nothing is going to convince this guy to get over being short.</p>
<p>Funny how you didn't debate against how my statement was taken way too literally and was just an exaggerated analogy that everyone took way too seriously. That's the essence of this whole thing. Stop trying to change it to dodge how wrong you are. Even if you do "win" this nonsense debate, you're competing against a sophomore at a state college who has two different communication disabilities, so it's nothing to be proud of. It's like an Olympic boxer winning a fight against a cripple, no one cares if you win and you look like an *******. It's actually embarrassing as I'm toe-to-toe with you and you're taking me seriously lol.</p>

<p>Win what? You won nothing of substance, you have low self-confidence because you think this is worth having self-confidence over.</p>
<p>I wasn't just name-calling, I was calling it as it is. I don't hide behind words and imply things like you do.</p>
<p>Yes, I am on your level because you haven't checkmated me into a corner yet and someone with your intelligence should have already. You already lost.</p>
<p>^ Yes, did you enjoy debating someone with the social skills of a 12-year-old? Geez, maybe I'm not as socially or intellectually retarded as people think I am. I mean I can't be all that stupid if an English professor liked my essay so much that she wanted to keep it and I wrote an essay so well that it kept me from getting expelled in high school.</p>
<p>Maybe I am wrong. I give up. I don't care anymore. I have this weird dichotomy where everyone either thinks I'm borderline retarded or a genius. That's life and I'll get over it.</p>

<p>Just some stupid crap about how some short people are probably short because of a bad diet and that it's not 100% genetic. I've already mentioned that height has a .90 or 90% correlation to genetics somewhere, so I'm not completely dense. Goddamn.</p>
