What is up with the height obsession women have?

Yes, that went right over your head.

I'll take my chances on that one, but you don't have the balls to live with the results.

Well of course. You just stayed away from women. Except online, of course.

Not even you believe that.

You've written quite a long ranting lecture here. There's no reason for you to feel so threatened, what with you being such an online Sean Connery and all.

Its not long and its not a rant. There is no threat from you, thats for certain.

Oh no, I never intentionally say anything that would piss off a crowd.

Actually, you can't help it. Its part of your condition. You want the crowd but can't manage to do it. Whenever challanged, the first thing you do is claim the rest of the world is on your side. Every once in a while you debate the color of the sky and find yourself in the majorty.

If I were single and we had a real life pickup contest, I'd have a good looking woman slobbing my knob by the time your knocking knees managed to get you out of your minivan.

If finding a woman to give you a blowjob in a few minutes is the standard for finding a mate, it does not reflect well on your wife, but you and I both know you don't believe this. It does show your basic misogyny at work.

But you'd score all the shemales.

All the gay guys I know think I'm hot.

So in this thread you demonstrate your "confidence" by rejecting reality itself and substituting it with your own. Good move. Good rant!

Your insecurity and poor attempts to fit in are very real. The rage you have when you feel rejected is very real. Its apparent to everybody else.

The worse part of all this, is I know you have the intellectual capacity to know all I have said is true, but the wounded emotional part of you mind will not let you function well enough to do anything to help yourself.

I think some gals see taller as simply more body mass to be smothered and manhandled by.

I dated a woman who was taller than me by a few inches, and considerably heavier than me, and I smothered and manhandled her just fine.

Lets start it out by saying, yes, I'm not very tall. 5'5''

Every time i read a personal ad every single one of them say the same thing. TALL!!!

What is it? I mean do woman have a fear of not being able to reach stuff? I see a ton of guys taller than me that are just flat out ugly. But when responding to a online personal ad they will get more attention because they can proudly state that they are 6'3''. The fact that they look like a sea donkey in person doesn't come up until much later. But me, who is fairly good looking guy won't even get a response because I am under the oh so impervious 5'9''.

What is the story with this woman?

Click to expand...

I am 5'8" and I have long legs and short torso. Physically I match up better with a taller man. So from a fucking standpoint, it's just preferable. Sorry, it's just the physical reality.

If a woman wears high heels, that totally turns me off. It tells me that she is more concerned about her looks than she is about her health and comfort, and that is not the kind of woman I look for.

You can ameliorate that. Use more lube on your strapon and go slow.

BlackShanglan said:

But you're the one who suggested that men don't have a counterbalancing limiting desire. That seems very unlikely to me. Or is the point that you want to complain about this and pretend that no one else faces any challenges of any sort on the dating front?

Click to expand...

The depth of the challenge is very different. I have been alive and observing for quite some time now, and I have never seen or met a woman who did not have at least a few suitors hanging around. A woman knows that if she is willing to choose from what is available rather than hold out for her wish list, she can have someone pretty much on a moment's notice. Only a very small minority, I would estimate 5%, of men are in a similar position.

I will date any height, including shorter than me. But taller is hot... up to 6'3" which is the maximum I've ever dated. (Though I'd date taller)

It's nice to be reminded that there are women like you around, since I prefer a woman to be taller than me.

I’ve never learned to walk in them.

It's not just skill. You need to build up the metatarsil arch and the stabilizing muscles in the ankles and knees. Start out gradually with heeled boots and a heel with a wide cross section. If you keep at it you will gradually get there. And it does wonders for the calves, thighs, and butt.

LOST&FOUND said:

and I feel short at 5'8...

Click to expand...

Whaddaya know, so am I! And my standard isn't so much an obsession as a wish that a guy be my height... Talk about convenient!

Well, I'm 6'4", and every woman I've ever dated was short by comparison. Height isn't an important factor, not in my opinion, but people are different.

If it's not one thing, it's another...

Sure we do. It is just not as apparent. We want sex.


Or learn to ignore those persons who have such criteria. Whenever I see the words "must be financially stable" in a personal ad, I move on.

A women who´s looking for a financially stable man tends to be the type of woman who´s willing to change that status as quickly as possible. If she says that she wants a man with a job, that´s a different story.

The bigger the woman, the more of her to control and bend to your perverse pussy licking will. Just putting that out there.

Women don't have a height obsession, they have a height preference. Anyone who claims they have absolutely no preferences regarding what their ideal partner would look like is a liar. I say this as someone who's never going to be on the radar screen of anyone looking for tall men, because I'm short enough to literally be under the radar.

Life is unfair. You just have to deal.

i love men of all heights. It's the man thats important, not his height.

I'm not Napoleon short nor Big Bird tall, but even if I were no taller than a fire hydrant, there is NOTHING I would do to make you and that beautiful real-woman's curvy ass of yours feel "manly."

Women can lose weight.

And rigorous studies prove you wrong. Obesity is one of the least treatment-responsive health problems on the market. Statistically speaking, less than 25% of obese women have any likelihood of losing weight and keeping it off.

Of course, the really interesting question is why you seem so personally invested in this issue.

ETA: Ahhh, I see that BronzeAge has worked it through. Indeed. Any slight LT has ever suffered is indeed the TRUTH FOR ALL MANKIND. This makes sense.

Start with 1" and make sure they fit perfectly. Then you work your way up to the big girl's shoes.

I’m not really sure if it’s worth it. Is it?

I'm short. I'm me and if that is not good enough... then it is her loss. It's funny because I've let it bother me in the past, but have also seen women taller than me and it hasn't made a difference.

Same here. The key is finding a decent style/cut.

Ya know, when I wear flats my feet hurt and I'm more apt to trip.

I've got to disagree. My last boyfriend had more pairs of shoes than I do; they be Thangs of Evhul. I keep a pair of flip flops in my car in case of Shoe Emergencies (and my bowling shoes, of course), but other than that (and ice/snow of course) it's barefoot all the way, baybee!

I wore heels one time....I was 19. Never again. They're bad for your feet, your knees, your hips and your back.

I don't know what's more distressing here: your grasp of psychology, your view of gender, or your basic mathematics. How precisely is this meant to work? Every woman in the world can have a man, but only 5% of the men can get a woman?

Ah well. If it's any consolation, I hear this sort of theory from the disaffected on both sides of the gender split with nearly equal frequency. Just as many women, it seems, are eager to blame their difficulties on their gender rather than on their actions.

Meanwhile, my 300-pound gay college friend never lacked a date on a Saturday night. And, as he pointed out, if he guessed wrong about whether people wanted his attentions, he was in for something for a good deal rougher than a curt rejection. Confidence and a cheerful attitude go awfully far in life.

Confidence is everything.

Making lists of what physical traits women want or don't want is the refuge of the insecure.
