So, according to research and science, the "massive role" personality and confidence play in attracting women is... no role at all.

Hey guys,

i am pretty short (5,4) and indian, and not actually that bad looking in my opinion and happy with myself but the world sees this differently. Well, thats ok, i dont give a shit about most people :) But what really bothers me, on the open street, when i go for a walk for example, wemen who walk in my direction actually fucing change street sides or make an effort to not come into 3m of my personal space. Just today a young woman was jogging in the opposite direction than me in the park, she saw me, she actually fucing stopped jogging, turned around, walked a bit so i could just see her back and then started jogging again away from me. And really, i am like what the actual fuc. It's not that i would even care about those wemen. Like honestly. What the fuc is this? It is really annoying and actually bothering me a lot, even if it shouldn't...does anyone have similar experiences, or is it really just because of me. 

Another notice: Usually this only happens with wemen i would consider average or good looking. The ones who look REALLY good usually have to work for their looks (with sports) and got their shit sorted out and are mostly down to earth people. Those who do not look that good know good enough to not judge other people based on their looks. But this middle to good looking part of wemen i find really incredibly annoying. I could just walk around and slap each single one them in their face, like with all of my strength.

Well, what are your thought on this guys?

This was from a post on Lipstick Alley, a site for black women. A lot of the darker skinned women complain about "colorism" and how unfair it is, but are quick to denigrate a man because of his height which of course is just as uncontrollable as someone's complexion. This is the first post. I will leave a link to the thread underneath

Is it really comparable though? I don't think so..

I hear men say "women always curve short dudes but they get mad if we prefer light skin women." And "if we were talking about dark skin women about the way y'all talk about short men, you would be mad".

Then my sister was talking about the other day how "all men love tall women because we are goddesses and we hold weight better (she's dark skin btw and she was saying it in a joking way) and one of our cousins is a shorter light skin girl and she said "but y'all hate when men say they prefer light skin women but it's okay for you to talk sh*t about short women". She also then said that "most men would prefer a short light skin girl over a tall dark skin girl anyway, us lightskins always winnin" (Wow right?)

Like why does everything about height have to revert back to colorism. People always want to bring colorism up when we are talking about a whole different topic. You can't compare oppression and slavery to height!

Rant over

Hi guys,

A funny thing happened to me at work.

A 5'8 Persian girl at work seemed really cool to a bunch of us, who happen to be short guys She said her type of guy was one of my friends who is about 5'9 when we first started to get to know her. We all were initially like WOW what a nice person. She's not one of those tall girls who just want a tall guy. However one day when she was talking about the guy she wants to be with she listed these requirements:

1) Be 6 feet.

2) Blonde blue eyes like a German guy.

3) Pay for everything.

4) She is not religious but the man must convert to Islam so when she visits her parents back in Iran the police will not imprison and kill her. I am serious. She said if she marries a non-muslim she will be killed by the authorities upon landing.

I tried to explain to her that in Canada we do not have a lot of these 6 feet blonde, blue eyed men. She said she knows that and was disappointed. Geez thanks. When I told her to get a work permit for Sweeden or Germany she lit up and said she might just do that. When she left to go home all of us burst out laughing. Her list of requirements is not realistic in any way (she is 32 years old by the way!) and no way in hell is Sweden or Germany going to give out work permits easily, especially to an Iranian citizen.

It bothered me a lot to associate with a woman like this. My personal trainer told me to avoid such people. I am going to distance myself at work from her. Fortunately, I was happy to meet a 6'4 tall woman who would be happy to date a shorter man at a picnic this weekend. So my karma is getting better.

Let me know what you guys think. All these weird things happen to me so I have to share them with this group.

"I am a big girl who is currently working on that. There is so much for you to find out. If I am interested I will hit you up. Please be atleast 5'8 and taller. I have to be really drawn to you for me to look past your height if your 5'7. Also be between the ages of 33 and 38. 
If you dont like big girls aka lusciousness don't waste your time. I dont mind men with children(No more than two)but if you don't have kids even better ."

These types of women are the worst.
