We all have our preferences... But here's the issue... Women are so caught up on looks that they woosh right past Mr. Perfect for someone who is a dick but meets her subjective appearances model. Then she will complain about how she can never get a good man... Happens every time. Yes, being attracted physically is important... But so is temperament... It's better to fall in love with a person with a good temperament but ugly than a crappy one who's attractive.
Take me for example... I'm 5'8", about 230 pounds, I look OK, have a sexy voice and a small pecker... But my wife doesn't complain... Sure, she wants me to weigh less, but that's because she wants me to be healthy. I look attractive enough to her, so there's nothing there... But the pecker... Let's talk about that for a second... It's perfect for her. She actually complains that it's a little too thick, but lengthwise, it's perfect. She orgasms EVERY TIME we have sex. Why? Because my short girthy jerky rubs on the coveted g-spot... Not just a few times... But the whole time... No matter the position we use.
Sometimes there certain things that you should look past when making your mate selection... And certain hings you should pay attention to.20 Reply

I think it's okay to care about height somewhat. Some people are not attracted to people of certain heights and that's fine. Attraction can't be forced. But I also think it's good to be flexible and not always go for your ideal type bc if you like someone and have really good chemistry with that person then that's what's really important

Not sure why a lot of men now think that most women only like super tall guys, but I’m here to tell u if a girl is pressed about that, she not worth it. I’m also not sure why anyone would be pressed about something like height. I date someone same height as me. I don’t even think about it bc it’s stupid to reject someone solely based on something so superficial. If you do that, ain’t no way you’re gonna find actual happiness with someone. That’s just a fact.

I can tell you… it’s 3 things… 1: men are bothered by being shorter then women so their projecting… nearly every man does this as very few can be comfortable being seen as weaker than a woman… with good reason by the way.
2: because limited interactions with women for a plurality of men has left them believing stereotypes and the loud portion of women are the majority… the fact is a Mallory of the women men hear about and see think they ARE the table. Hell I’ve asked several times in here what do you bring to the table and women usually don’t ask or say I am the table… these women think their the shit and they tend to want everything… 6’ tall 6 figures 6 pack…
3: is easier to say you don’t stand a chance then to get out there and try and learn how. It’s not completely their fault though ya know. They don’t know what to do and getting out there’s quite scary considering the worst she can say is no turned into the worst she can say is ew and now is the worst she can say is he raped me…
You women need good pr and you need it now lmao. - +1 y
@VanillaSalt Y’all gotta worry about being accused of rape just for asking a girl out? WE need good PR? Wtf is wrong with men. Wtf is wrong with y’all. If you had to deal with men being attracted to and had to deal with like at 90% of everyone you know either being raped or molested or harassed you you’d quickly realize you’re the guy in your 2nd point who has limited interactions with women. Not only does the opposite sex treat us worse but we don’t even get mad at all of them like y’all do it’s weird
- +1 y
Chill your fanny lady… yes I’ve been accused to sexual assault back in jr high and I’ve got links of guys being sent to prison or expelled from school without evidence… and if you argue it don’t happen then your part of the problem.
Yes you need good or. Your problems are the men you CHOOSE but that don’t mean it’s not made harder by the better men just sitting on the sidelines. All the guys thinking women ain’t worth it and gems waiting to be unearthed yet ignored because they don’t know how to start.
So yo be clear in your 3rd point… your complaint that men are… attracted to you… weird
Also I’ve never mistreated you or said anything bad to or about you yet your talking down to me right now… you are definitely the type of women I warn men about. Your the one that will start a fight with the guy sitting in from of you at the theater then expect your man to bail you out.
What do you call what your doing now? Also don’t tell me you don’t complain. I’ve dated before. I know full well women vent they frustrations near daily to their bfs and orbiters lmao. Or maybe your just special. Either way if you come at me with attitude again I won’t respond so keep it polite and not accusatory. - +1 y
@VanillaSalt I’m sorry I’m not trying to have an attitude it’s just men are really out of touch I was raped as a virgin by my first boyfriend and it’s hurt me every day since so I kinda got offended by what you said also if men were attracted to you then you’d realize what I meant like I said men are out of touch and I know you wouldn’t be happy with all the unwanted attention men tries forcing on women if they tried forcing it on you. And like unwanted dick pics are just the beginning sometimes guys won’t leave you alone when you flat out tell them to
- +1 y
I feel you there’s shitty people out there but the grass is always greener on the other side… while you drown in unwanted attention I have never felt wanted or valises unless I provide a good or service to someone… and it’s getting worse not better so understand if I say ide take the dick pics (and repost them online) if it means someone actually gave me some attention from time to time.
Also my first girlfriend was raped… twice. I can’t respond to that too we’ll other than saying this and understand where it comes from. 34 years of nobody giving a damn about me kinda made me… unwilling to care about the problems of others I’m not directly connected too. I’m an extremely empathetic person and the suffering of others bothers me greatly but I got tired of caring when nobody cared back so good luck getting over your trauma as I got my own as well.
If I offend you with anything I’m saying just know I’m not being rude I’m just not sugar coating my feelings to protect others. What good would that serve if the people here actually wanna understand the thought and feelings behind the choices and actions of others?
That being said I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer through life. That’s what life is suffering and how you respond makes you stronger and better as a person. - +1 y
@VanillaSalt thank you that’s very nice and I understand what you’re saying I’d feel bad if I got no attention at all from the opposite sex.

Also your not wrong men are out of touch. Look at my original comment. They weren’t raise to know how to behave. They don’t know their place in the world and life. I personally was raise to treat women as the prize and to be traditional but now women don’t like that and say they don’t need me. So being told how we were raised to think and everything we thought was right is wrong kinda leaves men confused and somewhat angry.
I really feel like a good PR campaign is exactly what women need. Someone that embodies what women really are about being out there showing men what they should be striving for and how they should act to get something so good… because the alternative… to think all women are trash except a handful, the worlds a dark cruel place that don’t care about me, and that I will die alone at 60 like half the populations just… a bit much ya know. Hope gets darker every day. - +1 y
If someone dates another person solely off of their looks, it won’t work. Looks change. A good relationship is built off of attraction to what’s on the inside and then outside. Attraction to what’s on the outside often comes after or is magnified by the first part. If you don’t give someone a chance just because they are slightly shorter or the same height as you, there’s a chance you’re missing out on someone great for a reletively small reason.

Ok so why are men’s preferences for younger women demonized while women’s preferences for rich men is celebrated?
I don’t think height should ever really matter. If they are perfect in every other aspect of the relationship and are a wonderful person then I believe those pros should outweigh the cons (i. e. height). But also I’m a short girl (5ft 2) and there aren’t many guys I’ve met shorter than me 😅.

@Cherry234 I agree too, the difference is the “perfect” partner would want to and actively try too change her weight. I’m ok with dating an overweight woman if she’s actively trying to better her weight because that’s what the perfect partner would do, what could a short man do to get taller?
- +1 y
@Cherry234 and actually it’s wasn’t physical attraction, it clearly stated that he’s was perfect, so he was attractive, just not tall. And I see that his height is what makes him unattractive but that’s the point of the poll and the difference between being short snd being fat. I wouldn’t date a fat woman who was unwilling to work on her weight, because then she wouldn’t be perfect in “every other way” but a short person could be perfect in every other way yet still couldn’t do anything about theirnheight

@Archerer
thats not the topic being discussed. the question being asked is : would you be able to date someone you have no physical attraction to.
If you're only willing to date a fat woman , depending if she WILL lose the weight. Thats just an indirect way of saying you wouldn't date a fat woman.
There is a saying "Women care about height, men care about weight". - +1 y
@Archerer
if you're not gonna date a fat woman unless she loses the weight, then I wouldn't date a short man unless he can find a way to get taller.

More like as asking if I'd date a woman with small boobs, small butt, no curves, if she was perfect in every other way ; when she is far from perfection, already. I like really skinny girls with big boobs, nice ass, shaped like an hourglass. Plus, fat girls cannot be compared, no man would go for a fat chick, where as a lot of women would date a shorter guy, as long as he is taller than her.
- +1 y
Whatever your experiences tell you, mine tells me otherwise. Especially with the new 'slimthicc' body (big firm boobs, tiny waist, nice ass, hourglass curves) being the new female ideal type, most guys are not only no longer attracted to skinny girls with small tits, small ass, and no curves, guys even shame other guys, and even call them 'gay', just for finding a skinny girl with small tits, small ass, no curves, attractive, i see this a lot, a loot actually, and this pattern is getting intensified each year, as the 'slimthicc' body, is being intensified as the female body standard, each year. I know many men from various different circles, and shaming other men thing, is something i see regularly, and the only thing i see is, guys using skinnier girls with smaller assets/no curves, for quick and easy sex, while they look for a shapely curvaceous woman, to breed with. They wouldn't even touch a fat one, for even quick sex though. And I've lived in a few different Asian and European countries, and most girls over here just want a guy a bit taller than them, or at least the same height as them, just like most guys just want a woman a little shorter than them. Most girls would go for a short guy, as long as he is a bit taller than her, most men would never go for a fat woman. A lot of male actors and singers that most young women absolutely swoon over, are under average height, have never seen, and would never see young men swooning over a fat female celeb, all young men do is brutally body shame the fat female celebs. There are many other factor to it too, if we are talking globally. My comparison was exact, in my opinion.
- +1 y
@Archerer Plus, Men never liked skinny girls with small assets, no curves, despite coperations in the 2000's, pushing 'boy bodies' as the female standard, so hard, but not anymore. Slimthicc (big boobs, tiny waist, nice ass, wide hips) has already taken over globally, (the only thing i dislike is, guys shaming other men and calling them 'gay', or 'pedo', just for finding a skinny girl with small boobs, small ass and little curves, attractive). I mean, in literally all studies and surveys, men rate, and have alwaws rated skinny girls with smaller boobs, smaller ass and little curves, as the least attractive (i am not even considering fat women), and rate, and have always rated curvaceous hourglass women with big boobs, but butt, tiny waist, child bearing hips, as the most attractive, ie (fertile looking women, men being biologically attracted to signs of fertility), which is exactly what is now popularly known as 'slimthicc', but you really don't even need studies to prove that.

@em_199
Most women have been skinny with tiny tits all throughout history. It’s not until now where women are getting fatter So their breasts And ass are getting bigger So more curves.
But all throughout history , men have had no problem procreating with skinny thin women with no curves. It may not be a mans number one choice but it works too.
People have always been slim and skinny all throughout history. Big husky, thick men and women haven’t been very common until the past 40 years - +1 y
"It's not until now that women are getting fatter, so their breasts and butts are getting bigger, so more curves". Just getting fatter would just make you fatter, and not curvier, unless you are blessed with an 'hourglass' fat distribution, and 'hourglass' bone structure. The curvy women with hourglass fat distributions, and hourglass bone structures, ie (women that are naturally really thick in the right places, and really skinny in the right places), are exactly the women who are seen as ideal, by beauty standards, and that body figure is exactly what is now popularly known as 'slimthicc', which is what young men swoon over now, and have always preffered (despite corporations pushing 'boybodies' as the female body standards, in the 2000's, like i already said). Also, science strongly suggest, that the reason woman have bigger breasts now, is natural selection, ie, men's preference for bigger breasts. In literally all scientific survey studies and research studies, men have always rated the curvy hourglass figure as the most attractive, which makes perfect sense because big breasts, tiny waist, big bum, childbearing hips, hourglass figure, being indicators of female fertility, and men being biologically drawn to woman who display maximum signs of fertility.

In this day, a regular skinny girl with smaller tits, small ass, little curves, would never be as attractive and desirable as a curvaceous hourglass woman with natural big breasts, big butt, tiny waist, child bearing hips, toned thighs, according to society, and to young men in general. I do see guys using skinny girls with smaller assets and little curves, for easy sex or for what they call as 'pumping and dumping', while they look for a natural slimthicc girl for something serious, ie, to breed with. I am not even considering fat chicks, most guys i know, and i would say guys in general, wouldn't even touch a fat chick, unless he's that ugly and that desperate for quick and easy sex. Like i said, the only thing i dislike is, young men nowadays even being ashamed to admit to ever liking a skinny girl with smaller tits, smaller ass, little curves, and worse, young men making fun of other men, shaming them, and even calling them 'gay', just for finding a skinny girl with smaller tits, smaller butt, little curves, attractive, and this shaming thing is only going to be intensified in the coming years, as the 'slimthicc' body is going to get even more intensely popular as the female body standards, all over social media, maintream media, pop culture, and literally everywhere, globally. Young men's biological instincts and biological preferences, are being intensified by social media programming, and it is going to be way more intense, in the coming years. The comparisons i made in my first comment, was super exact , in my opinion, esp in this new gen.

Because then he would be taller as well. It’s not that he has to be taller than me but rather not too short. 5’3 is short for a guy, but if he was let’s say 5’7 and I was 5’8 or 5’9 it would be ok
