So this fella wrote me "I meet all the criteria, you should message me". He had written me before, which I had ignored. So I decided to speak my mind and be honest. I wrote him back, "no offense, but you're much shorter than me."
He responds "thanks for pointing that out."

Oops... Right? Nope.

Turns out, he's 5'10.... Not 5'0 as his profile read!! Lol He thanked me and said he was wondering why nobody was writing him back. He kept his sense of humor and was thankful I was honest. He said he kept asking himself "what the hell is wrong with me??" lol.

I told him he probably missed out on many women because of that mistake.

    Yes, proofreading copy is a big deal. You have to be like Prince to get ladies if you're 5'0" (BTW, Prince is 5'2').

    You're right that he missed a lot of women with 5'10" vs. 5'0". 5'10" is often considered a disqualifier as 6'0" is the magic desirable height. But at least 5'10" gives a far wider range of options.

    Hahaha!!! Too cute!! And, very nice of you to point it out to him. :)

    5'6" is my cutoff. I have to be able to wear heels with a guy.

    I think I'm going to make a new dating profile and only change my height. I've given up on that nonsense because its just a waste of time when the same girls would chat you up at a bar but you're not good enough online. Might as well lie my *kitten* off ans have some fun with it

    It's so weird how height is such a deal breaker for women. I'm 5'11" but still.. it's interesting.

    It is. I am grateful I don't have the height issue. Instead for me it's the width issue. :laugh:

    I was thinking that height is as big a factor for women as breast size is for men. Why don't they have that data on the basic info?

    I'm glad this turned out well and you helped the guy in the end, but I don't really understand writing him just to point out what you perceived as a "flaw". If the tables were turned and a guy wrote to tell you something unflattering, you'd probably be really offended, even if you don't want to admit it.

    Oh height. It is my one big hypocritical dealbreaker.
    At just over 5'7 and not a little petite thing..I simply long to feel feminine and cute. I simply don't ever get that with anyone under 5'9. So...I could be attracted to someone shorter..but I automatically think we are not going to be a good match based on size and height...and I assume the male in question generally feels the same... no hurt feelings about it.
    Most of the men I have dated have been 5'11-6'4... and generally the taller and heavier/more built ones like me best as they "can't break me".

    So tell me boys...does breast size somehow correlate to your own personal sense of masculinity or is it just a nice to have item..?

    Junk...I use it here because it makes me laugh. But beautiful? Hmmm... useful, sexy, delicious perhaps...but beautiful might be overshooting it a bit... ;)

    This thread makes my head hurt.

    I am 6'1 so I win when it comes to height.

    I find it very ironic though, that women seem to be very emotional about men

    having preferences and being "judgmental" yet they can automatically

    disregard another male due to something he cannot control, height.

    A's or DD's, it doesn't matter to me. I like all sizes. However I do love shapely legs on a woman. It's my preference but not deal breaker if she isn't that particular body type.

    The 'beast' always makes me laugh! :laugh:

    And yeah, 'junk' isnt a word we use here (we got plenty of other words tho, eh!! lol) Bit like *kitten* and Jerk. They just sound much better/suitable with an American accent.

    It's quite simple Zach, women feel overly large/unfeminine/unprotected when they're with a guy shorter or punier than themselves.

    It's genetics - the male is usually taller/stronger?

    A bit like men liking boobs............we dont have control over those either......

    Not quite sure why you're starting a gender war over that one??? But anyhow....... :flowerforyou:
