There's nothing wrong with having personal preferences; the problem is with people who feel entitled to have their own ideals but then complain when they don't match someone else's ideals. What you described was certainly hypocrisy, but I don't see an issue with a woman wanting a man of a certain height as long as she doesn't get pissed off when he wants a woman of a certain weight.
Not at all. When it comes to dating, it's all about personal preferences. I prefer women with long hair, at least shoulder length hair, not short like marine guys. Everyone has dating perferences and you're entitled to it because it's not a nessessity of life, it's like an icecream flavor -- everyone has their preference, and if you don't like it, move on. It's that simple.
You should have had both B&C as an option. I think it's anyone's preference who they want to sleep with. If the system was some rando gets dumped at my door and we have to fuck, hell, I probably won't because of the have to part. "Well tonight she's a meth head, but she's skinny!" It is hypocritical as well. Everyone does, and should have standards, if we just fucked everyone in sight we wouldn't get anything accomplished, and the infant mortality rate would be obscene.
Both are just preferences and people are entitled to like what they like and it's not really something people can control though either, I mean we like what we like.
I'm like 5'2 as well and aren't bothered by my height, but the coworker example about someone getting upset is a double standard too, like it's okay for one to have a preference, but not the other, so I agree with you.
It's what it is.
Women won't change their behavior, hell women will encourage dangerous behaviors to prove a point and stay in dangerous situations rather than admit they were wrong, so there's no use complaining.
If women get mad about their weight then oh well, it won't change what I want either.
Totally agree I’m surprised a girl is acknowledging our point of view but I agree, sexual attraction is not a politically correct thing and we shouldn’t feel bad for saying what actually turns us on. I’m 5’11 so I usually don’t ever feel too short unless a girl is super tall I guess.
I say shallow cause I’ve ran into some dope chicks who were tallish years ago and ruled them out. Noticing other qualities I should’ve went past that but not even saying they were gonna be dated just back then cause they were tall it wouldn’t have been an option. Now I’m accepting who she is however she is
I think its a preference, I also believe subconsciously no woman wants to look down at her man. She wants to look at or up at him and be proud to be with him. Guys on the other hand i believe don't care about height or weight as long as he is attracted to her
It's just a matter of attraction in the way some people like red and others like blue. I love my women tall and dominant and so everybody has his or her preferences, but has nothing to de with shallow i think. When you get to know each other these preferences will slide into the background.
I'm tall so it doesn't bother me but if I was short it probably would. But I've been very unsuccessful in dating despite my height so I'm not the reason you're not getting any girls if you're short guys XD.
If your in the less desired group (short and fat) it's shallow if you're in the more desired group ( tall and skinny) it's preference. Simple as that.
How would you feel if you were eliminated from contention without ever being given an audition?
I'm 6 and a half feet tall so i don't have this problem. But i do know it's so prevalent with women. That any woman that is 5'8" or over turns me off. Because i can't help but feel she is just drawn to my height. I'm not some piece of meat.
The height thing isn't a problem, but don't tell me I'm selfish or shallow for any preference I have. Attraction is subjective: you can't force it upon someone. We're all naturally drawn to certain things.
There are things we can control and can't. Weight? Go on a damn diet. Height? Find the girl who'll accept you for your height.
Weight can be changed, height can't. So laziness and carelessness for your health is a far more valid reason to not date someone than them not being tall, which can't be changed. I'm getting you a dunce cap for Christmas, no matter how many times we say it, you never get the message.
Both preference are shallow but at least you can change your weight. No matter what you try to do your height is never gonna change, so the height preference is more shallow (even if both are shallow).
Usually deem those females as not girlfriend material and move on with life even if I should fit in to her criterias. even wish her good luck with someone that's in to someone like her if she tries to get me.
Height is associated with success and dominance. Fat is associated with greed, gluttony and lack of self control.
I disagree with you about the whole comment. Not everyone gains weight because they sit around and eat all the time. Genetics plays a factor, sleep schedule plays a huge factor, it's been proven that if you do cut your meals but dont have an adequate sleep schedule you will not lose weight.
Height doesn't have shit to do with success or dominance because I've met some tall people who are still doing the same boring shit they've been doing for the past 5 years and are big time bitchs that won't stand up for themselves. It's a matter of perception and upbringing that insures our traits as well as daily living.
I disagree. Through history fat was a sign of wealth and power. I for one dont like the bigger girls but know that it's natural for are bodies to store fat for survival
@mobster30
Those were usually gluttonous nobles who probably wouldn't even be considered that fat by today's standards. And trust me we dont need to store 3+ months worth of fat, it doesn't even make sense too because by that time you're probably completely deficient of nutrients.
The checkable fact is most men in executive roles are over 6ft. Yes there are success small men but statistically they're the exception not the rule. As for fat people they'll blame everything and. anything except themselves. Genetics can account for a couple of pounds but not for the levels of obesity we see today.
True but most people aren't dating CEOs anyway. It's like saying you want a tall guy because he's more likely to be a professional basketball player, it's already extremely unlikely to begin with.
For normal people height will have a minuscule impact on their income.
I like the fact if u fact checked , but I mean it in sense from beginging of time like king's Chinese emperor's
Most women prefer to date taller men and most people prefer someone who is healthy. What’s the mystery?
its def a preference, unless a woman truly has no height preference she def can't get mad that guys have a weight/ body size pref
What I can't believe is that it's actually a "deal breaker" for some women! For something he has NO control over. And they aren't realistic "expectations" ether. Example wanting a guy over 6' tall. Most guys aren't. At least not that I see. It would be interesting to know the ratio over the entire world. I know some guys can be unrealistic also when it comes to women, but women seem to be less flexible when it comes to this?
