Seriously, you don't have a lot to complain about so shut up. It's not like you're dying of cancer or have a chronic illness - you're a healthy athlete! Be grateful. I'm 5'1 and I don't complain like you. Everyone has something they want to change about themselves, but you're beyond insecure.

I don't think you can say that, since you're a 5'1 female. Big difference as opposed to a 5'2 guy.</p>
<p>I'm not disagreeing with you entirely, as if all he does is complain it's his fault, but being a 5'2 guy...is pretty bad and harsh. Honestly. At this age, I've seen numerous 5'7~5'10's get the "height thing", so...</p>
<p>He is insecure, but then I couldn't imagine being 5'2 either.</p>
<p>^ Sorry if I was too harsh, but gosh, this is like tenth post i've seen where he's said this - plus he always puts down women, calls them shallow, makes rude comments about fat women. This guy whines about people judging his looks, then makes shallow comments about women! </p>
<p>haha I wish I was 5'2! that's the average height for an asian girl like myself :) and guys shouldn't get too hung up about their height - women don't want to feel dwarfed...if you're slightly short, nothing to stress about...insecurity is a big turn off. women have to worry about clothes, makeup, we have to look dainty and hairless and worry more about our features (nose, lips, etc). Guys are fine as long as they look clean and well groomed.</p>
<p>Truth be told, it all comes down to evolutionary instinct. In general, women are consciously and subconsciously attracted to tall men because they see them as being able to protect them and their offspring. Also, height suggests good genes, which is also attractive to females. It also suggests that the man has lots of testosterone and is fertile.</p>
<p>Why do you think guys are attracted to large breasts? A breast is just a very large gland, but men can't resist it. This is because they view a women with large breasts as someone who can provide for their young.</p>
<p>Humans have evolved as organisms with complex brains for one reason: to find the right mate. Watch the PBS special called Why Sex?.</p>
<p>Not sure why some of you here have the misconception that guys prefer tall girls. Simply not true. Height is definitely something girls look for in guys, but not vice versa (for most).</p>
<p>The ideal heights that are most commonly posted are above-average (read: tall) for women.</p>
<p>and I agree with stargazerlilies that all lakrosse does is complain about his height and how 'shallow' all women are while he goes around spewing even more superficial and offensive comments about women...if you look at his threads/posts, most of them are either about how women are really judgmental of his height and/or how lazy and disgusting fat girls are.</p>

Exactly. 5'1" girls have [virtually] infinite options when it comes to dating because even the shortest of the guys will be taller than them.

Nah, cause we don't want to break our backs looking up at tall men, and they don't want to become hunchbacks trying to make eye contact with us :D Guys prefer taller women, as evidenced by that thread - even the average guys wanted tall women. yeah but anyway, the point is, everyone has things they don't like about their body, unless they're VERY attractive, and even then they'll still see flaws in themselves. So think about the stuff you can change, and not the stuff you can't.</p>
<p>The truth is, men and women both find certain qualities attractive, so it makes no sense to call women shallow for their desires. This guy has repeatedly put down large women and called them lazy. He seems to want a tall, skinny, modelesque girl - the female equivalent of his height is only 4'8"ish, but I bet he wouldn't date a girl that size. and if they're not thin, they must be lazy, right? please...</p>
<p>stargazer, I never said I wanted a "tall" woman. I just want a pretty girl who as attractive, as my face isn't that ugly, various people have pegged it in the mid range, so I shall not be limited to ugly girls. I wouldn't mind a girl if she is between 4'11 and 5'11''(altho dating a girl that tall isn't likely), as long as she is pretty, nice, smart, and fun. The reason there is a bottom on my height range is girls really don't exist below 4'11'', or I never see them. I never said she had to be "modelesque" altho that would be ideal. Obesity is an unattractive quality which I don't have, which girls have near complete control over, so I therefore would not date a fat chick.</p>
<p>^ lol that's like saying men "dont exist" under 5'4...they do, it's just rare. i'm like in the 12th percentile or something, so there's plenty in that 4'8-5'0 range...regardless, if you're so openminded about women, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Fat isn't the same as obese, ok? Obese means dangerously overweight, to the point of serious health risks. "fat" is relative...to some, it's over a size 6, to others, it's plus-size. if you're decent looking, you should be able to find a decent looking gal. and being fat isn't something people have complete control over. some people have a genetic predisposition, others have health problems, etc. Not that i'm making excuses for those who are just lazy, but please stop dumping all fat women into the "lazy" category.</p>
<p>why do men care about women looking pretty? thin? having big boobs? nice hair/features? duh cause it's attractive.</p>
<p>Height really doesn't matter getting girls unless for some odd reason you only like tall girls when you are really short. I'm a 5'4 guy and can say that it really comes down to personality and the effort you put into looking good. As far as physical appearances go just work out so you don't look like a wimp and take care of yourself. Just for aesthetic reasons I would stick to someone within 4 inches of your own height. Something tells me personality is your problem though.</p>
<p>The reason that girls prefer tall guys is largely evolutionary. Back in the old hunting and gathering days, tall and big guys could provide more safety, bring in more food and overal have a better chance of survival than short and small guys. The same reason is for why confident guys are considered attractive today. Assertiveness and confidence were what it took to be a tribal leader and in that lawless age being a tribe leader was perhaps the single most attractive quaility to women. Although people are no longer concerned with questions about survival in dating today, evolution psychology still plays a subconscious role.</p>

But guys love it when girls wear heels.

I sure as hell don't. As far as I'm concerned, high heels = lies.</p>

Also why do guys prefer girls with big boobs and large hips
[/quote]
Actually, if you look around on the internet, and even check out poll studies, most guys prefer smaller chests. Proportionality is the most important thing of all. Women are just pushing this "bigger breasts = better" myth on themselves.</p>
<p>damn my teensy A-cups! No, I think most men prefer bigger boobs - as in C cups. let's be honest here...who like's small boobs? even I don't like small boobs and I've got 2 of 'em. </p>
<p>why do high heels = lies? are you another short dude who's worried about women towering over him? why doesn't makeup = lies as well? I usually wear sneakers/flat boots/sandals depending on the time of year, but heels are a great way to dress up an outfit. nice for work, too.</p>
<p>Here's why height matters: shorter guys have smaller sexual organs, taller guys have bigger ones. I'm sure there have been studies done but I'll let you guys look for them.</p>
