My brother went on a date and you will not believe this
My brother is about 5'10. I don't know how I ended up so short lol anyways, his friend set him up with his girlfriend's cousin. I guess they had a great time but she said something that I had to share.
"I have to be honest. Because I am so short, your height is a bit too tall for me."
Who has a harder time in the dating world? I am starting to believe that much like straight tall men wanting shorter women, there are plenty of gay tall men who want shorter men. Thoughts?
So as a not so tall guy and hearing not so great things about how short guys are seen by women on Tinder I decided to get my feet wet and give it the old college try anyway. In less than a week I had 24 matches. 6 of them stopped talking to me when I told them my height (they asked). 10 of them didn't ask and wanted to go on a date. Out of curiosity (and not to waste my time), I bought my height up several times and none of them cared (with the exception of two who sucked their teeth and made comments about not being able to wear heels).
The other 8 did not bother to respond to any messages (probably validation "I feel so good about guys trying to hit me up on Tinder, let me get their hopes up by swiping right!).
I have 2 dates this week, so not too shabby! I'd imagine though that if I were 6'+ I'd have way more dates. I'd say even if you are short, give it a shot and don't let the non-repliers get to you.
So this is something I want to vent about. My friend, who is all about being true, and sticking to her core lied. Her boyfriend is 5'6 maybe 5'7. Real sweet guy and gives her the world. Her parents live out of state and brought up meeting him. They have been seeing each other for like 3 months, so it isn't serious yet. Well she had them on speaker phone and was giggling away while her mom asked her questions. She asked the height question and she said idk like dad's height... Which he is easily 6ft. I met him! Why would she lie? I don't get it.
My friend asked me this question and I said yeah why not if I find her attractive and she is a sweet person. Then he goes, you know 4'9 and under is a midget right? I never heard this. I figured I would ask you fells on here. I see a lot of little women who are beauitful in their own way.
I am considering it but I hear so many negative things about it online and in real life. Like shorter men and bigger women being shammed and only get people who are below average interested in them. Thoughts?
I read that men should lie about their height on dating sites to increase odds because 75% of women are 5'6 or shorter on these sites. They will likely cancel out a lot of possible meeting or matching because most dating sites do 2inches + taller men than the woman. I am not sure about this and I would like to know if anyone else heard this?
In terms of "sleeping" with your date? I have been seeing a woman on and off, nothing serious but we haven't gone all the way yet and I am not sure if it is because of me, like she is expecting me to do something, or if she doesn't want to. It has been 2 months and we have hung out a few times and went on like 5 dates. 2 of them were double dates.
I was buying some today, got the magnums, the ones I always get. I take them up to the woman at the register and she gives me this look, like scans my body then fluffs out this chuckle. I asked if something was wrong and she said "nope" with an attitude. She musta have been around 25. I know it is because I am shorter and thinner. She is assuming because of this, I have a small size downstairs. Anyone ever get this? What BS!
I was talking about this with a friend and he believes women who are bigger or curvier want taller men. He said this was because they wanted to feel smaller and more lady like. If they are with short guys, it makes them look bigger. What do you think?
"Women hate short men. All women, when given the opportunity, will leave a short man for a tall man. This is because women view tall men as higher value (in general). The only way you can prevent this is to make yourself higher value than taller men. You can do this by working out and by being successful in whatever you choose to do. Keep in mind that "nerdy interests" will not make you a higher value man. Good luck."
I read that comment online. What bothers me about this is that he is telling someone that "ALL women prefer taller men". Also, why does having "nerdy interests" devalue a person? My younger sister loved nerdy guys and from what I have been told (unfortunately) by my friends, she is a knock out.
I heard someone say this while I was shopping the other day and I had to post it here.
The woman saying this was maybe 5'8ish maybe taller, she goes "I am so sick of all these little girls taking all the tall men. Like come on! There are plenty of short guys us tall and stunning model types don't want!"
Her friend was about her height as well and just agreed and said it is "pathetic"
So my question is, does it bother you that tall men take all the short women?
I'm very unusual. I have some what high standards and, sort of, expectations from my relationships. But the most important things to me are loyalty and faithfulness. Being the height that I am, I find it hard to find women who see the value in being with me as I would in them. I can admit, I really don't have much to offer. But I've seen selfish people with a lot less to offer in happy relationships. This isn't a question and I don't really want any advice. I'm just venting because I'm a little annoyed. I'm annoyed that I probably won't find something like that until I'm in my 30's. I'm annoyed that when I do, it'll be with someone with a different moral ground than me. I'm annoyed that people say I'm the problem or I need to change. And again, there's some things I do need to change. But they want me to change who I am which causes this bitter anger inside of me. I'm tired of being alone, but I'm coming to realization that's when I'll be happiest. It hurts because I've always gave myself hope in a fable. "Oh there's 7 billion people in the world. You'll find someone like you who loves you as much as you love them." I didn't understand that the chances are extremely slim and my standards would prove to make that difficult. I'm a little twisted, but I'm happy with who I am as a person. It just sucks that I can't find a girl like me who I can be happy with and spend my time. Whether it's my physical appearance or the way my mind works. I'm not at all what women are interested in and even when they are, they lose interest fast. I now realize I'd be happier alone.
I ask because I am begining to think I am more attracted to darker haired women. I am not sure when this started but I saw a woman I was friend with a few years back. At the time she was blonde and I didn't find her attractive at all and now her hair is dark brown and I was taken back. Her eyes looked like they were glowing.
