My boyfriend is shorter than me, same weight, and slightly stronger. I find no issue with it. I just appreciate that he's strong enough to pick me up :)
I personally don't give a crap what you look like. Honestly. I mean, yes, there are traits i might be more inclined to gravitate toward, but at the end of it all, what makes a relationship is having a connection. And I got an odd mix of both extremes with my girl, i shorter smaller girl that's nearly double as strong as i am.
Omg yes. only a man easily intimidated inexperienced or full of shit wouldn't. I mean bring on 6+ foot blond or brunette stacked with an hour glass figure an legs like the Eiffel tower. I could only imagine the possibilities. I can tell you this I'd make it a habit to get lost between those legs. Guys are to ego driven to expierence any kind of sexual taboo they are scared they may like it when she wipes that ads. Lol.
Well, i would prefer a guy who is stronger and bigger. I just don't feel attracted to fragile looking men.
what other physical filters do you sift men through before you give a fuck about personality?
I don't know. Do you also wonder why men prefer a woman who has boobs and vagina? Like this is stuff most women prefer due to how we are genetically programmed.
right, there's preferences and deal breakers. Many guys prefer certain features but compromise. You're literally saying is a guy LOOKS fragile, not even is fragile, just LOOKS fragile.
i don't expect you to understand, talking to women about empathy and understanding is really a waste of time and frustrating.
If a guy looks fragile then he looks fragile compared to other men. He could still be stronger than me, but if 90% of men are stronger then what is the point? also, being physically weak can be fixed by being active. It is more of a lifesryle condition than something you can't change like height. Even a naturally skinny person can put some muscle and not look like the wind may take them.
If a guy is 5'7 and 150 pounds and toned, he'll look fragile compared to a group of body builders who are 6'0. So men should always be self conscious about not being to smallest guy in the room, are you suggesting height doesn't matter then, only muscle mass?
A 190 cm guy that is skinny and has tiny bones looks fragile. 170cm guys can look strong too. There are many factors that makes a guy look built, mainly bone density, muscle mass and body shape. I have seen average height guys that were skinny yet didn't look so fragile because they had a good bone structure and had wide shoulders. A really short guy, like 160 cm won't look intimidating, toned or not, but it is up to him if he looks fragile.
Bone structure and density is quite important. You see, I do lift too but my upper body is tiny. My hands look stringer, but the still look like noodles comoared to other people and I certainly struggle with strength there. It is harder to get a strong when your frame is tiny. It is not unfixable though.
so if you went to the gym with your boyfriend and there were bigger guys around, you would break up since he looked fragile compared to them ?
How do people fix tiny bones?
So you're not understanding to guy who may in your situation with having a smaller frame. I guess it makes sense. women date up.
It's extremely difficult to get shorter/smaller/frailer than a woman with the body measurements of a 12 year old & who has lost at armwrestling to 10 year old girls.
Cute! How tall are you?
@Guardian45 5'0 :P
Yeah sure. I have nothing against strong women. I'm tall, so she probably wouldn't be taller. I think girls are not too much weaker than guys. For example @wowgirl30q would probably win me easily in a MMA fight, because she trains it and she's strong. Being a boy and being taller wouldn't help me that much.
I wouldn't and I couldn't we are friends but thank you
@Wowgirl30q I wouldn't like to fight with you either, but I just said it in theory. 😊
I know dear😀
No. If you weigh more than about 120 its doubtful I'd be interested unless its all 100% ass and tits which occasionally I've come across. Think rap video girls. But still I'm going to cap out at about 160. Height is not so important but for every bit taller you are i still like the same weight limits so you just have to be that much thinner.
If I have to be completely honest, no I wouldn't date a guy smaller/shorter/weaker than me. Then again I've only met 2 guys with this description
why not
Nice choice well done 😀
@Hassaniscool firstly like I said it's really seldom that I ever meet a guy smaller or weaker than me. I'm short myself. Secondly it just feels weird, I like having a guy bigger and stronger than me because it feels strange to have someone smaller, I feel like I should be the smaller one and I'm used to that.
Yes most women think that way and i think it should be that way. This is how world works.
@Mamamialetmego like back in the day, men would go for beautiful women with fuller or larger hips because they tied with with fertility, having healthy children and women liked bigger stronger men because it meant they could protect the women. So that natural instinct is within us. Not all will agree though
what races would you never date?
My theory is women just want muscle bound men who they can annoy to the point he beats the shit out of them so they get all his shit when he gets arrested.
@Amourdillo 😐 no that's not how women are. Was this your situation?
no it just makes the most sense why women feel short and smaller men are all these disgusting festering horrible people who should be written off from the dating world without a second glance.
yet women end up with the domestic abusers all the time.
Being short is objectively worse than being a rapist or domestic abuser, women would give those guys a chance if he was tall and hot, they would probably leave him but he still gets a shot to redeem himself.
Short guys get thrown away off the bat.
@Armourdillo a male domestic abuser could be short or tall. And no women don't feel like short or smaller men are disgusting.
im not saying short ones dont' exist. Im saying you have more of a chance dating being a tall rapist than a short guy who's normal.
You obviously do find some degree of repulsive if you write of all short men that exist on earth without even talking to them.
@Armourdillo yes in general a taller guy has a higher chance of getting a date than a shorter guy but that doesn't apply to all men. Some women go for shorter guys. And no I'm repulsed by them. I like what I like.
Not if he is a racist though.
You can like tall men but what about men being short makes you repulsed to not even see value and meeting them or allowing them to talk to you?
@Armourdillo they don't repulse and I'm not saying that I wouldn't see value in meeting them either. But I'm not going to lie and say I'd be attracted to a shorter guy than me. No one can force attraction. I like to feel smaller than the guy, so if a guy is shorter/smaller than me he looks less manly to me because then I'm bigger than him. I'm 5'3" / 1.59m , I rarely ever meet a guy shorter than me. Last time was in my first year of university.
Which was 5 years ago
So it's purely superficial correct?
@Armourdillo if you want to put it that way then yes
so would you suggest guys shorter than you wear lifts? if you think he's 5'5 and you get along, what would be the issue?
It's all about looks in the end, or are you saying being shorter than you makes ALL their features unattractive?
@Armourdillo no I wouldn't suggest that. It's not all about looks in the end. Everyone has a preference. I like chubby guys that are taller than me and that has a beard. Another girl's type might be a muscular ripped guy that is the same height as her and clean shaven. Just like different women have different types, so do men, and so do you. If you didn't like a girl that is flat chested that doesn't make you shallow. That's your preference. And no them being shorter than me doesn't make all their features unattractive.
But there's a difference between preferences and deal breakers. I have string preferences and light preferences. I don't prefer flat chested women, but one of my best friends is flat chested and we hooked up a lot because we like each other and i don't find her not being my type to make me find her repulsive. If she was obese then no, i wouldn't have most likely.
I would say obesity is a deal breaker for me as short is one for your or not having a bear not being chubby, etc.
I prefer dark hair but wouldn't say "I would never date a blonde"
Saying " no I wouldn't date a guy smaller/shorter/weaker than me. " honestly doesn't sound like a preference, that sounds like a deal breaker. Usually preference talk about the preference not about what you don't accept.
Sorry if i interpreted that incorrectly.
I understand your point. You did interpret it correctly because a guy being shorter than me is a bit of a deal breaker instead of being a preference.
that's why im confused why you're talking about preferences now.
If you were with a tall guy and he ends up in a wheel chair where he's shorter when sitting in it, would you leave him?
@Armourdillo of course not. Then that's not real love.
what about a guy being short makes them not possible for you to love them?
The barrier of them being shorter. Many people want to preach "personality is everything" yes I know, but when you first meet someone their appearance will grab your attention first, only then you get to know them, date, commit and fall in love. But the very first barrier of appearance (him being shorter than me) will stop that from occurring because I'm not attracted to men shorter than me.
Is that not shallow? i understand they might initial attraction. If a short guy approached you on the street he has a 0% chance because you wouldn't care to get to know him. But you're also saying if you got to know a short guy through a social circle, there 0% chance you would like him enough to have any form of feelings towards him.
@Armourdillo and people wonder why they can't find their soulmate, etc
I understand her. A girl taller than me would be a deal breaker for me.
Girls like taller guys, guys like shorter girls. There are exceptions of course, but this is usually the case.
@ThisIsMyOpinion why a deal breakere
@Hassaniscool because I am 6'2 and I like to feel tall. I wouldn't feel good next to my own girlfriend.
I will never date a man smaller, shorter and weaker than me. No exceptions. I need a man to be taller, stronger and larger. I need to feel like im a woman and with a man.
Finally a woman with reason and honesty. Most of girls think exactly like you but they tell the opposite to get attention.
@Mamamialetmego disappointed in most of the mens answers.
Why because we are not shallow and care about a woman's heart not her appearance? Lol idgaf about appearance height or strength its personality which is the only thing that matters appearance is just for reproduction heart is where the love is
@Cocacolaaddict Love is chemical reaction for reproduction. Most men wouldn't fall in love overweight girl like women wouldn't fall in love to a short, thin guy. (At least majority)
@Cocacolaaddict dont lie
can you list the numerical requirements you demand in a partner for you to be able to feel any sort of feelings for him or his personality to be considered?
I don’t mind. I would cuddle him. Men feel emasculated by the woman being bigger and stronger in some cases, and that’s the last way I’d want a man to feel🤔
"Men feel..." please show evidence this is true for 100% of men.
I had this friend once. Really tall girl. Funny as hell. She deadlifted me once, and even though it was aided by the fold up stairs I was sitting on I still felt like I should go paint my nails. So my answer is probably no
Of course!! Why would that matter!! I really like some of the Big Ten College Volleyball ladies, and they are a few inches taller! Probably stronger, too, working out, and being super active!
I would date a shorter guy, yes. I’m 5 feet 5’’6 so he would be really short but if he is masculine in behavior and looks manly and with strong features, yes I would date him.
No such thing as guys. They are called men.
I'm 5'4" 138 lbs.
@Hurdleez-Swampede im 5'3
No. I tend to prefer petite women. In terms of fitness, I would prefer a woman who is into things like yoga, dance, or even martial arts as opposed to weight training.
Taller? Likely not too big a problem. Bigger? In what context? Chubby? Because I don't mind chubby girls at all, in fact I quite enjoy a chunky chick. Bigger as in muscular? Hell no. I'm not a fan of muscular women. I like soft smooth women.
Personally I would find it emasculating to date a women taller or stronger than me. In regards to bigger, it really depends on the woman. In most case I do not find women that are significantly overweight attractive, so while not a blanket statement I likely wouldn't be inclined to go for a bigger women.
Taller, yes.
Bigger and/or stronger? Definitely not.
Willowy, supple, lithe, slender, those are the words I want to be able to describe a potential partner with.
taller and bigger sure, if the feelings are there I dont mind that. But if she's stronger then me then Id probably be uninterested. Im quite fit and thatd mean she's too muscly looking
I have dated a girl taller then me and I'm 6 foot 3 and she was a half inch taller than me.
And I married a girl that is strong than me. She can beat most men in arm wrestling. In her 20s she was a pro arm wrestler.
So yeah I can and have
Lol def not, im only 5’3
That would make him a legal midget basically🙈
Lol that made me laugh a little
@humanearth well i mean its true🙈😄
I'm a foot taller than my wife. She is your height
Haha. Quite amusing..
Lol so true
Plus short is sexy
For girls that is
@SexyAshh
So if the man you're with was 5'1" but still same man, you'd leave him?
I would never find any attraction to that man in the first place to have to leave him🙈😂
@SexyAshh
What if the man you're with suddenly was 5'1" tomorrow? You'd leave him due to a mystery? You'd leave him if he became weaker due to an illness?
Wow. So you hate men who are not a certain way.
If im a 10, i dont want a 4. Im not going to downgrade, im not mother theresa and i dont feel bad
@SexyAshh Now that's what's up. Good for you don't ever settle for less than what you deserve and there's nothing wrong with having standards.
Thank you! @bklynbadboy1
I don't know where some people get off
@SexyAshh I'm proud of you for sticking to your guns everybody has a preference
@SexyAshh
okay, so if that man had a disease and became weaker or a mysterious shrinkage to below your height, you'd leave him. That's not love. Love knows no strength and no height.
Really? You don't look like 5'3in picture baby
Well i am.
Well it would be so easy to pick you up and throw it to my bed then 😄
Gross
Hahaha😂
