can a 5' 6 guy still be attractive?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm 5'10" and STILL get the "you're too short" from women who are 5'1" and under!

Hmmm, that's why I attract the significantly less educated .

Apparently, some non-assertive, shy, soft-spoken men who are shorter than their girlfriends can get laid, otherwise, I never would have been born.

Anyway......

I think it's great some of you guys are open to dating women who are taller than you. Mostly, I just run into men who would never consider going with taller women.

I'm 5 foot 5. I'm a married man married to someone my height.

However, there's this 6 foot woman on my job who's really good looking! If I was not married......

Height is very important to women, i think the size is realitive though because there are lots of girls shorter then you.

What does it mean that the social hierarchy is inherent in all human interactions? That people notice each other’s stations in life (i.e. whether they are rich or poor or ...)? Or, that you alter your behavior based upon another’s station in life (i.e. you “suck up” to someone who is a rung above you, so you can become included in the next higher rung)? The entire concept of social hierarchy is silly to me. As a former mentor of mine said, “that other guy puts his pants on the same way as you do, one leg at a time”.


I am so glad that I don't worry about "being attractive" to others. The last thing I would want to worry about is whether I am properly displaying "social confidence".

Am I the only person thinking, “and they call us weird”? To me, these people you are referring sound quite insecure.

This article provides some interesting insights.

If you are 5' 10", have you tried dating women much taller than you?
According to the woman who wrote the article, at 6' 2", she now dates men shorter than her.

What I got out of the article is that you shouldn't limit your choices because everyone else does.

How about MILFs? From what I've read a lot of guys won't date them. Why not?

I don't know about you, but I've always been good with young kids--I've been told that because I'm small, they aren't intimidated by my sized--makes it a lot easier for me to teach them cool things.

I know a really average guy who was married to a really hot model--they aren't married anymore because she was a psycho b***h who hated his hobbies--you should stay away from that.

In my case I won't risk it anymore in trying to date a woman who's taller than me unless she is the one who imitates it, it's the only way to be sure that height is not an issue for her otherwise the probability that she's totally fine about it is ridiculously low.

So yes, I am dismissing asking out taller women for a good reason.

Because MILFs are pornstars.

Does it have a different definition now?

Will you date attractive women with kids? There are a lot of single women raising kids--one would assume that a significant fraction of them are still attractive.

Ah, they are called women with kids, not MILFS lol.

Ah, no, I wouldn't mind it, I was interested in one before.

I admit that the idea of suddenly becoming a father figure is bit scary tho.

Of course.

I see short ladies dating or marrying taller guys. It looks like nobody gives a crap about one's height.

o.O but its people saying women won't date short guys. of course they date tall guys.

Yes, but you DID give it a fair shot, which I find admirable.

It's something of the past, no more fair shots, I am now as height-discriminative as they are even if she's amazingly compatible or whatever, she would not even be seen as potential of anything. And I am sure most tall women would see this as a good favor if all short men do the same, few would wish to be asked out by a shorter guy.
