If yr under 5'11, don't bother msging me.
Srs, if u got the biceps, I *will* ask you to flex them for me.
I figure that one can have preferences/standards, and it's not my place to say they need to like a wider preference of people. It sounds super silly saying "go be attracted to more people!" lol
That being said, with high standards comes lower chances of meeting people who fit the criteria. Then you have to find people who fit the criteria that you actually like/aren't assholes. I guess it's just a side effect of it.
Heck, you can go for dudes only 6'2," have the build of classic Schwarzenegger, talk like Matthew McConaughey, and the face of Ryan Gosling. Maybe your standard is that he says "Alright, alright, alright" every Wednesday at 3:36PM. Chances of finding someone that specific are slim to none, which the make the chances of a single life higher, but it's not my place to say differently.
On a side note, I'd feel like it'd be rude/bad to treat short non athletic people as sub human (or inherently less valuable than modern day Spartans or whatever). Friendzone is one thing, disgust to the person over something they can't control to an extent is another. I didn't feel like this question was about that, but I'm just throwing that in there.
The definition of shallow is being attracted only to physical characteristics / not personal characteristics. I'm guessing that you aren't automatically romantically attached / want to date every 6'2" buff dude, regardless of asshole status / personality, so I wouldn't call it shallow.
no. It's ok to have your tastes. But saying don't bother messaging me if you don't look like this and that makes you sound shallow and stuckup.
(Imagine if a dude said that. "don't even bother talking to me if you weight more than 130 lbs.)
but yeah. Having a preferences is perfectly fine, you don't owe anyone to find them attractive.
It sounds like a preferences, for me if you're under 5'3 than don't message me. Joking. I just like guys taller than me but as build wise I've dated the skinny, athletic muscular, chubby, and big dude (350) so that doesn't matter to me.
Girrrrl... these guys are going are going to get upset about this. lol But I love tall guys to. My boyfriend is 6ft 2.

Shallow is just such a broad term. It's been juggled around so much, does it even have a meaning anymore? But anyway, you have high standards, that's for certain. Is it wrong? Well that's gonna depend on your answers to the following questions:
Would you let guys like that get away with ridiculous amounts of bullshit towards you (abuse, neglect, cheating etc)?
If you were dating like that, would you stand by while he treats good people you know like shit?
Would you settle down with a guy that isn't like that, pretending to be attracted to him when you're really not?
Would you shame a guy for having equally high standards?
If you answered "yes" to any of these, you have some self-assessment to do.
If you were dating a guy* like that... typo blah.
Oh, one final question I forgot to add: If a guy that wasn't like that approached you, would you only do just what it takes to get him to leave you alone, nothing more nothing less, or would you immediately crush him?
There we go ^_^
God I'm so glad that I'm like a perfect genetic specimen. Unfortunately my horrible life has crippled me in the social skills department and I'm working hard to rehab my mental injuries. But good lord, if I was short, or had a small dick, or I was very ugly, I don't know if I would have the strength to overcome all those things AND the shitty life aspect. But I guess not everyone lived the way I did too so they do have some advantages over me lol.
Don't look for something you yourself can't compete with ( not saying you can't or don't ) and don't be sad when your not what they are looking for.
It's not necessarily shallow though but it is superficial which I guess in it's own way is a form of being shallow.
Don't count the little guy out though, I've seen more little guys kick big guy's asses. Big and tall men are big and slow targets.
''Would you shame a guy for having equally high standards?''
This is what it comes down to. Guys will say they like boobs and a butt... nothing wrong with that. nothing wrong with having a physical preference. Granted height isn't something men can change... nor is the amount of body fat in your bum (unless you want to go fat)... i used to think girls can just squat and their ass would grow LOL... thats not the case.
I guess I don't qualify...😔

If it's your ONLY criteria then yeah that would be by definition shallow. If you want your guy to be those things but he also has to have depth to his personality and character then no it's not shallow just very high standards which is fine to have.
no.
women like anything related to value... status...========>resources.
its natural. but you'll soon find out attractive powrful things have shitty personalities and are messed up. then you'll accept before you get too old that life itself is more important that some jacked tall dudes.
its just your likes and dislikes. can't say your shallow, but you want the perfect kinda guy, but let me tell you something, most of the tall jacked, athletic dudes aren't gonna make you and keep you happy all the time. personality matters a lot, if a guy who is jacked, athletic, tall but is not mature and doesn't have a good personality then your gonna be happy with him, unless you dont care about romance, intimacy and feelings
You forgot rich too 😉 ... finer things in life remeber xD
Well, it is somewhat shallow. Not that I mind, since I have both myself - but it certainly is a fairly shallow preference. It's like guys saying that small boobs are a dealbreaker.
No If you have a type, I just call it a preference and there is every chance you will fall for someone outside your type. I honestly say no major harm, you can't force someone to like your type.
No way , taller men are always a craze among women. at least you are open to being friends with a short man under 6'.
By the way what's your height and what's the upper limit of your height of a man?
Oh only 5'5
Hmm
What's the shortest man you can date and why settle for his shortness?
You just said 5'11 and below is friend zoned!!!
Now you say a 5'5" guy is dateable
A man who is shorter than you can't even be your friend?
He needs to be 6' to be your BF?
Hadn't you learn from this election. No one need to judge you. President trump raciest, sexism, but who cares he president and he not breaking the law
No your from Australia where the men have higher than normal test. It's perfectly natural you want tall, muscular men.
Blue anons be like
