SUPER TALL GUYS EVERYWHERE!

MireyGal76

Not sure why this thread rubs me wrong.

Men are more than their height. Just like women are more than their curves.
To say that being short is a punishment, we'll it seems hurtful.

I get that you're playing around, and maybe I'm just moody today, but still.

I'm 6'1" and as much as I'd prefer to have a few inches either way, if the person is amazing... Idgaf

*mad love to all guys of all heights*

AllonsYtotheTardis

I think that is a great idea!
I am 6' tall and can NEVER find guys taller than I am....
it's a sea of short men everywhere I go.

All us short women are stealing your tall guys. Sorry 'bout that.

I am 5'8" (Actually a little taller)

My first serious relationship the guy was 5'9" (but I was the same height as him liar liar, he said "You must be taller" nope, measured many times, not 5'9")

Second serious relationship, and the one I am still in close to 6'3". I love the fact that I can wear 5" heels and he is still taller than I am. He makes me feel small, where most people make me feel quite tall.

Before said relationships I did prefer to date someone that was at least TALLER than I, I had no specific height, but yes the taller the better because I love heels. I never based dating off of height, but it was a nice bonus if they were tall.

I hit women. But when (more importantly, where) I hit them... they usually beg for more and I usually like getting hit by women often too.


Is that why I'm only 5' 9"?

AllonsYtotheTardis

About 14% of men in the US are over 6'0". 5% are over 6'2".

If you are not finding super tall men, it is probably because there really aren't that many.

They're all up here in Canada. :drinker:

I like my men taller than me, which is easy for me since I'm only 5"1... that being said, I think if they were TOO tall it would be awkward between us. =P

Going by them begging for more you should start getting taller any minute now

I love super tall guys too but mostly to look at and fantasize about. I married a 6 footer and he's great. But I look at guys like Trace Adkins, Duncan Regehr, Kevin Sorbo...not super tall but tall enough! Yum!

BenchPressingCats

Mmmm tall guys

My thoughts exactly.

I'm 5'3, so most men are taller than me. But I ♥ guys who are 6' or taller! Except Jon Stewart, he's one of the few guys who is in the 5' range that I would consider banging.

ETA: typos. Was distracted by all the hot tall men.

I've dated men shorter than myself. I've dated men MUCH taller than myself. The shortest one was 4 something. The tallest one was 7'. I'm 5'4". My DH is 6'4". My mother was 4'11" and married to my father who was 5'10" so almost an 11 inch difference in their heights. Both my grandmother's were 5'7or 8". My father's father was 6'4". My mother's father was 5'7". I've always preferred taller men but short men are nice too. As long as they treat you right I don't see as it matter what their height is. I love the idea that a person would be marked by their actions be it male or female. A lot folks are lucky that that's not the way it works.

I didn't like this OP either. I just don't want men thinking this is how most women think (about height).

The tragedy of human existence is that the smart and intellectuals are in abundance yet the idiots, even though in smaller number, are much more vocal and speak with confidence. Making the intellectuals doubt their own intelligence and brilliance (Paraphrasing a quote I read somewhere)

I think I heard that quote. I think by Bertrand Russell. Good point!!

6'8 isn't. But height is consistently the primary factor used by women for sorting potential mates.

Kinda like if you had a thread about thin women with enormous boobs. The "enormous" part is generally impractical fantasy, like 6'8 height. But most men will appreciate the concept of narrow waist women with big boobs.

If a man is 6 foot and over he tells the truth about his height. Men under 6 foot always add an extra three inches. I remember a guy who I dated saying he was 6 feet tall and I was stood there thinking 'I'm 5'5 and he's only about 3 inches taller than me!'

I say this with the awareness I'm generalising, but it's what I've noticed!

HAHA! This is so true! I have a friend who always says he is 5'10". I am 6' and I know I have more than 2 inches over him, but I never point that out. He definitely has a complex.


And yes, where are all the tall hotties?? I want to wear heels when I go out gosh darnit!

skinnyinnotime

The tallest guy I dated was 6'7". I broke up with him because I got tired of people asking him "How's the weather up there?"

You really broke up with him for that????

Jesus.

Personal preference in height of my man...as long as he is taller than I am, I am good with it..he must be a good man inside though or forget it.
I think a good man is more important than how tall he is...all good men are 10 feet tall as far as that goes. I know tall men that are total schmucks but I know short guys that are handsome, kind and so generous and loving.

I'd suggest a different analogy. The comparison is more like saying that all women should start out fit and every time they are cruel or cranky, they gain 10 pounds, so that they become more overweight and therefore less appealing.

That's essentially what she's saying... The shorter you are, the less appealing you would be. And maybe that is true to her. But it does men a huge disservice overall.

Just my emotionally charged feeling.

Yeah, where to even begin? The OP is claiming that short men are somehow awful men. :noway:

I'm not going to even respond to the other guy. :yawn:

It's funny how some people think that every man or every woman thinks and wants exactly what they think/want. Stupidity.

This whole line of thinking is....Gah, no words for this!!! :grumble:

That's accurate. Except the general concept of "fit" is too general, and also quite easy to address.

Height is very specific and unchangeable. It's difficult to find features on women that are immutable and relevant. So you might end up with the sub-5% genetic hourglass figure as your "ideal" - which in fact it is. Surgery allows for women to cheat on that though, while the best men can do is funny shoes for a few inches.

I'm 5' 8.5" and 1/2inch taller than my hubby. I wore high heeled shoes until I messed my back up and he was super fine with the heel thing - it was stupidly me that had the problem.

We have two children - Stacey reckons she's the same height as her dad and our son Devon is around 6' 5". Stacey's hubby is possibly about an inch shorter than her and Devon's partner is 5 foot something LOL. It's a breakup when you see the four of us lined up as you have a fairly straight line, then Devon LOL

Devon had a friend who was around 7 foot tall. Devon came up to his friend's shoulder and when they walked down the street and because there were two of them, you got the impression they were of average height LOL Muzza loved resting his arm on Devon's head!

And yes, I do ask Devon to do some of the high things for me, or should I say he insists on doing the higher chores for me when he's about. It certainly doesn't seem to be a big deal for him. I try not to make a habit of it as that just wouldn't be fair on him - it's all about caring and sharing in our family.

It amazes me that some people shape their lives towards statistics rather than looking for a caring, responsible and honest partner. Yes, you can get both but the chances of finding that special someone at a super height would be fairly slim I would think - there are other people looking. Good luck with your search.

A more comparable way would be reducing make up etc worn.

Losers don't need physical markers to repel me from them. They do that well enough on their own. When they speak.

MercenaryNoetic26

Every time they cheat, their manhood should shrink and/or grow warts. So like Pinocchio, we know whassup and what they've been doing without having to do stakeouts on them :huh:

Oh please let this happen...I just want to see how the politicians,lawyers etc deal with it. Lol

oops I read cheat as lie. Also wanted to add cheaters usually get warts if you know what I mean. :P

:laugh: :laugh: Well, just pathological warts... I certainly wouldn't want the disease passed on to me. Let's change that to that specific body part developing rainbow colored spots all over it. Or maybe it can glow like E.T.'s finger whenever it's cheated and it's within' 1 foot of the person it cheated on.

Only 5%? That makes me feel lucky... My husband is 6'4" and I'm 5'3 3/4" (ALMOST 5'4").

Actually I believe the word the OP used was 'pathetic'.

I've got loads of short guy friends.

Pathetic is the last word I would use to describe them.

And, I'm not a sucker for glibness or superficial charm.

Brazilll

I honestly don't mind if a guy is shorter than I am. I'm 5'7" and I wear heels nearly every day. I once saw a matchmaking show where the lady said she'd never date anyone less than 4 inches taller than her so she would feel comfortable in heels. The matchmaker asked her...do you make love standing up? Lol. I think a confident man, be he short or tall is what is sexy.

BinaryPulsar

Yeah, I just like a good, intelligent, creative, funny, insightful, kind guy that has strength of many types. Height is not a factor. Besides, just about everyone is taller than me, it seems.
