Have you considered the possibility that these women's disinterest in you could have absolutely nothing to do with how tall or short you are?

Just a thought!

I venture to guess that more than 50% of the people looking for someone special haven't yet found him/her YET. We could blame it on any number of things from height to weight, to facial imperfections to character flaws blah blah blah....

Im not sure if any of that matters. The fact that so many struggle to find love whether they are short or not should tell you that compatable chemistry is challenging to find.

Accept it . Work on being the best you that you can be including your confidence, and let the cards fall where they may. Being single is not the worst thing in the world :)

Be the architect of the best single life you can create , and who knows what that awesome energy will attract down the road ?

OP - you must absolutely be joking. I just looked at your profile - you're not even short, if you're 170. Why don't you try working on your personality and other aspects of yourself that you can improve.

And what makes you think you're so unique in not getting so much as a peck on the cheek or whatever in the last years anyway? Get rid of the self-pity attitude. Lots of us who have been alone for forever have that inclination to self-pity, but at least try to keep it in check when it rears its head.

Controversy.

I am short, and the most often reason women give to me why they only want a tall man, is so the man is still taller than them with their high heels on. slaphead

So I lose out to shoe accessories. tears

No love, no soul mate, no genetic stock improvement, no spiritual / religious / physical reason, not even for a big :banana: , but just because of impractical and fashionably stupid footwear.

Lookout they don't also want to dress you up in colours to match their handbag ! ohwell

So then, I'm looking for a short barefoot loving lady, or a flip-flop / thong wearer, without any fashionable pedestrian issues, so my tiny body can monster over her, making her feel like she has a massive man. :thumbsup:

Well fashion victims and fashion accessories, what have you got to say about that ??? laugh


So the women are blaming their shoes for not wanting to be with you.. heh.. their shoes?

I don't know... it may be a bit more then that.

Not a fashion accessory, but a necessity: I'm 5 foot 10, on normal shoes or boots I'm at least 6 foot. So I'm looking for a man at least 6 foot 1.
Not too much taller, makes kissing painful, lol. But same height or shorter, nope. Been there, done that, doesn't work. Doesn't give a woman the same feeling a taller man does.
We each have our chit to deal with.
For me it has been a real pain up the rear end to be on the taller side as a woman.

Ladies' mothers, pets, and children think I'm charismatic; that's no good for me.

My twisted cynical sense of humour is mis interpreted by most people.

A lifetime of rejection has destroyed my confidence among people; but alone I can do anything, except the really nice things needing 2.

All the really short women I met wanted really tall partners only.

In future times with the earth nearly destroyed by greed, and food and safe water very scarce, small people will survive better than the tall and fat and the stupid but good looking.

Big tough allied POW's suffered more by starvation than their smaller buddies, in asian slave camps.
And with increasing over population, smaller will be better in the future; but until then, it seems I am just a curio, a 3dr wheel, a child minder, a but of short jokes to giraffes, lummoxes and oafs, a plus 1, a backup when the boyfriend doesn't want to do something. Not a fully grown man with feelings and needs.

Such is life !

So it's all my fault, and I'm a wingey whiny for feeling totally left out and neglected by all of woman kind for the last 8 years or so since my partner died. sad2

In that time I have politely asked out dozens of women - and nothing.asleep
In that time I have joined about a dozen various dating sites - nothing.frustrated
In that time I have not had even a single peck on the cheek for birthdays, christmasses, new years, or anything. Not even an aunty kiss. Nothing.
In that time I have heard every excuse under the sun in person, but height is the most common excuse given to me in on line date sites and forums.what

The best I an get is a nudge from someone who has had their account closed.
Or a useless like from someone in another country. slaphead

I don't want to wear elton john boots, or look like a dandy to assist a fashion tragic. laugh ill
I don't care how tall or short someone is, unless they are blocking my view.

But you look at the ladies' requirements, they nearly all specify a minimum height for their man.
And on some sites women specify other large parts too:banana: ; which if a man asked for a maximum size, he would be badly thought of. oops No equality there !

Just look at the standard ladies' request for tall, dark, and handsome; that's three things I can't claim to be, thanks ladies.tears
Even if I wore stilts, got blacked up, and wore a mask, I'd lose out.

Round 2

I thought this discussion would have generated more criticism than it did, and I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of argument and vitriol.
I suppose the tall guys couldn't care less. Now I'm bored again.

Or is political correctness, apathy, or over cautious anti-bullying paranoia suppressing antagonistic replies ?

I've got more arguments up my sleeve.

My teachers used to tell me dynamite comes in small packages and I am like Nitro Glycerin. I'm a little guy, 6" when standing up straight. My license says I'm 5'7" but that was 7 years ago.
Thing is, I have no idea how high the top of my head is and don't really care. I no longer have low self-esteem issues. I'm alone because I am anti-social. I'm anti-social because I am home-bound disabled. I'm actually past my expiration date and I have no idea why I am still alive.

As for women's preferences, I don't "Fit" most. But...I'm not looking for most, I'm looking for ONE. When the one is found, I will "Fit" all her preferences and she will "Fit" mine. Then, I'll stop looking.

My contentment does not hinge on my popularity. There is 99.99 percent of the world's population that does not "Fit" me. But at 7.6 BILLION people, .01 percent is 7,600,000,000 x .0001 which comes out to 760,000 people of which half are women.
I have 380,000 chances of finding the right woman for me. All I want is one.
So, it is more than reasonable to expect that MOST women will not want me. For whatever reason they choose.

Consider this strategy:
As you surf thru the profiles, for every woman that does not fit you, why not block them? When every woman has been blocked, move to a new matching site? The ones you just can't block are the ones you send a message to and try to make a connection with. If it doesn't pan out, block them as well.
Then, take a look at the women you didn't block and look at the qualities that you desire. Find the one woman that meets all your expectations and go for it, buddy.

Then you likely agree there should be a law against tall men with shortcake women? I think they should simply find a partner who matches their size laugh
Whenever I see a tall guy, let's say 6'2 and up, with a shortcake woman, I'm thinking "You're stealing a man that could be for me, and at the very least should be with a taller woman!"

I dated tall blonde my senior year of high school. She is 4 yrs older than me as well. I am 5'-11" so she is about 6 feet. Long hair. She and I never considered height difference. Most tall women seem to have a hang up about too tall. I guess we all can focus on what we don't like about ourselves. She is a confident Lady. Whatever hang ups she has I was unaware of. Her car... OMG I made mistake of riding in her car once. Make up deals all over the car. I can't stand dirty car or house. Don't get me wrong she is way clean but her car...oh crap.

She got some attention at my all boys Catholic high school when she would visit me. Then the leach boys found out she was my girl.

I call BS on all the rules junk.

If we all knew so well what we are doing, would we be single and post bad relationship s? Time to grow...open our minds. I kind of dig really short women...but...I dig most women. I just don't go for many. I'm screwed as I am a caring guy in an uncaring world. I can see through a girls BS usually in 60 seconds or less. Of course my area I am surrounded by $$$ girls. Sucks

Hmmzzz... Then I'd have to get my kitchen lowered, and the wash basin, and have another, kiddy-size loo placed --> I asked for a higher model when they renovated the loo.
And how do I get to the top of the cupboards?
I think I prefer my 5'10 :smile: tongue2

Maybe I'll start drawing lines in sand also.

Maybe I'll include limits of race, creed and color.

Truly about the only thing is too much weight I find a show stopper. I must have a woman on the move and she must have moves when the time is right.

I do not care for large boobs and prefer small.

I prefer long hair.

I could go on of course but I am malable still. I don't think I have met The One yet so no clue much about her.

I've known a guy about 25 yrs that has never a girl since known him. He finds only model types attractive. He is a large guy. He is a nice guy. Not to say he can't get his model girl, but he hasn't yet. Many tell him to pull his head out.

The point is, we all have our own unique personal preferences.
In itself, I think it is completely natural and normal.

What is not normal is when someone inflicts emotional harm on someone else because that person's personal preferences don't match theirs.

What I also find alarming is that a lot of people don't have actual personal preferences but rely on other's 'popular' preferences to set the bar.
They make selections based on what other's expect them to select and wind up unhappy. Then they ruin a lot of lives when they get fed up with the game.

There are way too many people searching for someone but they can't recognize a match because they don't fully understand their own preferences.

Is it okay to date a short man?
Is it okay to date an overweight woman?

By popularity vote, no. But, we don't exist in a world of popular vote. In reality, the one you choose should be right for you and vice-versa. Afterall, its YOU that spends your life around that person, not the popular vote.

Everyone has preferences it's just a fact. When reading your profile you've got a few things down that you prefer, so tit for tat so to speak......you probably got a self-esteem issue concerning your height and think because a woman won't date you it's because you're vertically challenged when the rejection could be that she just doesn't like the shoes you're wearing or you have bad breath JS
