Whatever you want to think, man. Nothing you say makes any difference to me whatsoever. I have my opinion, and you got yours. If you choose to disagree with me, that's cool too.
The simple fact is that I don't care enough about making you happy or proving a point to you to actually "just try to count the smaller male/larger female couples to prove me wrong" like you suggest.
Peace and harmony to you bro.

The purpose of the thread was to express the fact that dating and general interaction between males and females is more uncomplicated and straightforward in other parts of the world besides the mainland United States. That doesn't just apply to dating, it applies to the mindset in general.
It was never meant to be some kind of "let's post about what we think the fundamental laws of attraction and interaction are while sitting home behind a computer screen" thread. I could care less about defining the "laws of attraction", seeing as that was never the original purpose of the thread.
Like I said, I never claimed that certain parts of the world were a "romantic paradise". I simply said that the nature of dating and interaction was less complicated and more straightforward.
I can't see why that's difficult to come to terms with, but whatever. Doesn't affect me any, either way. |

Nice attitude, I like this 'I have my opinion so don't argue' attitude.

Do I look like someone from the mainland US? Take a look on my profile. Dating is a complicated process in any society that follows the typical serial monogamy system and especially for autistics.
Maybe you are saying the truth about your country is just a tiny exception on this big earth doesn't make the rule.
I don't want to be unfair ....but your whole thread sounded like a 'sous-entendue' teasing to people here. Probably that was unintentional but this how it sounded.

Very true man, it doesn't make the rule. Like I said, I was just intending to demonstrate how gender interaction in one specific area of the world seemed (at least to me) to be more simple than in other places. That's all.
Never said that everyone should do things my way, or that the way in which things are done where I come from is the best way. Every place has its complications and problems.
In terms of the question you asked about height difference between male and female couples, it's all over the spectrum. Although I'm what would traditionally be considered on the larger end of height and weight for a male and my girlfriend is on the smaller end (I'm 6'2" and about 200-210 pounds, she's about 5'3" and 110 pounds), that still doesn't act as the solid defining rule.
One of my oldest friends is a 5'3" 130 pound Asian guy named Makeo, who is probably the wittiest guy and the best surfer I know- and he's had more gorgeous girlfriends than any other guy I've ever met, either in Hawaii or on the mainland. And this is someone who's always smiling and laughing, and never acts rude or aggressive around a female. It all comes down to what you got inside. Not how much of a big, tough, aggressive man you can appear to be.
No offense was meant to anyone from my original post, nor was I meaning to tease anyone. Just reflecting a reality that exists in one location of the world, that may be totally different from what people are used to in other parts. |

How often are you around Makeo? How does he treat women behind the scenes? Does he buy those gorgeous girls gifts, hand out compliments, and act submissive?
People on WrongPlanet are always mentioning some phantom third-party that attracts girls by being sweet. You have to wonder if these third-parties actually exist, or if the person is grasping at straws.

This is actually close to the truth. It pretty much does come down to what you have inside. These days we call it "Inner Game." Look it up. More than anything, attracting women has to do with personality.
Rest assured, however... if a man IS big and tough physically and emotionally, he will attract even more women than if he was big/tough only emotionally.
People go around saying "Women don't care what a guy looks like..."
They do. It's just not as important as the guy's actions.
So, a short and homely guy better have a DAMN STRONG personality to compensate. |

He'll be quickly accused of having Napoleon complex if he has a damn strong personality. |

Naw. If he has a temper and loses his cool all the time, then maybe. |

I actually thing guys should work on their sense of humour rather than trying to be act tough.
Women really love funny guys, entertainment value...etc. |

Now that is untrue. There are many times I crack jokes, and I never try to come across as tough (unless someone is being tough towards me), and I have never had a girlfriend... |

That sounds like pretty solid truth to me. I agree.
| Quote: | | How often are you around Makeo? How does he treat women behind the scenes? Does he buy those gorgeous girls gifts, hand out compliments, and act submissive? |
I see him pretty often. I think it has mainly to do with his having a very friendly, outgoing, and straightforward personality despite his smaller stature, in addition to being phenomenal in an area considered a high-energy spectator sport (surfing) that many girls enjoy watching (at least in Hawaii or northern California). Being smaller and more agile, he often (but not always) has the advantage over larger and heavier guys in the sport. So his being 5'3" is negated by his other attributes.
I agree with you, it's personality and confidence that matter most.
| Quote: | | He'll be quickly accused of having Napoleon complex if he has a damn strong personality. |
Not always. He might get accused of that if he constantly has a chip on his shoulder, but if he just acts as equally confident as a man of larger stature, I don't see why anyone else would have a problem with him. Unless someone was purposefully trying to insult him. |

Trying to convince LPP that height doesn't matter is like trying to convince a white supremacist that all humans are descended from black people... |

| Societal conditioning plays a huge role in desires, and the western world is pretty messed up in this regard. But even without a lot of the superfluous nonsense we have to deal with human relationships are never going to be simple. |

btw, I never neglected the effect of success , 3 things that form the attractiveness of a male in descending order:
1- Success and wealth
2-Entertainment
3- Appearance
Makeo is a successful in a popular sport in his country so he 'success' ....and this sport is entertaining on the same time (without mentioning what other hobbies he has too) , so he also posses the entertainment value. 1 and 2 compensates 3 in Makeo's case , yet Diamond never mentioned how many taller girls he dated. Appearance is a plus , but I am quite sure that Makoe had to a double effect to be almost equal to a tall, dark and good-looking guy in attractiveness.
PS:There's no need to pick on me with your shity sarcasm each time I mention height btw , height is just the best example , the easiest identified and the most universal in the laws of attraction. The principle of taller_male-Shorter_girl couples is so common not because guys are taller in average than girls (if you look at the height bells curves by gender you'll find out that there are so many guys who are shorter than good percentage of girls , yet the shorter_male couples are extremly rare) but it's because of the preferences of each gender regarding height. |
