What we need is something like Davy Crockett's buck scoring system, which takes into account not only length, but other crucial factors like girth, bend, and the size of the ridge along the glans.

Last summer, I was offended when one of my female acquaintances suggested a guy for me and when I asked her how tall he was, she said that he was about my height. Then I told her that I didn't like short guys. But she responded by saying that I wasn't tall, either. I know but I am about 5'3 with sneakers and I don't have to like a guy who is about my height. It's very irritating. I was quite annoyed by my acquaintance's suggestion.

My ideal guy has to be taller by 6 or more inches but hopefully not more than 10 inches. That could be annoying, too.

Actually, I saw a guy I liked last summer who was perfectly height proportionate to me. I was sitting down and when I looked up, I caught eyes with a perfect looking Teddy Bear of medium size. Obviously, he must have been checking me out....Alas, I was too shy and looked away. Then I tried to find him but he ran upstairs. Later he came back downstairs and went to the book and gift store. I sent in an acquaintance to ask him if he was single but he disappeared before she had a chance to talk to him. I wish I had had the courage to talk to him myself. I plan to go back to the same place so maybe we will meet again. :heart:


So you didn't even bother to meet the guy or inquire about his personality and looks aside from height, you decided simply based on his height alone you don't like him and even found it irritating your friend would have the 'audacity' to suggest him. I really cannot understand seeing height as the most important feature of a person...what about personality, their looks aside from height, if you feel comfortable around them, having some common interests and things like that? Just seems so very shallow...

And so if you were on a date with a guy, and found yourself getting on really well with him and found him attractive.....but then during casual dinner conversation you find out he's actually only 3 to 4 inches taller than you, what would you do? would you reject him because he doesn't have the required 6 inches on you?


Peacesells, this post is a WP miracle!

That sounds complicated, maybe I should use pâte à modeler?

Not to my taste, sorry. I thought it would make a nice gift for someone special, or perhaps decoration for a wedding cake.

For the record, mine has already been immortalized in all it's glory in a painting. The canvas is about 40" high, and it hung (or stood) at my church for a while. It's rendered behind bars, as part of a diptych with a yoni. The artist was quite short, he said in a random attempt to get the thread back on track, and she preferred to date shorter guys, but taller girls.

I don't see how, its not like this is the first time I've said I think being a stickler about height is shallow. I'm shorter than average and its not like its never gotten a negative comments about it, yes short females also get made fun of sometimes to. Granted 5' 7" hardly seems short.

Also I don't need a snarky/sarcastic response every time I post an opinion of mine.

As long as they're frowning upon it, enthusiastically... he said, vainly trying to at least get the thread back on an amusing off-track.

A very unsolicited miracle. But still nice to read stuff like that once in a while.

The reality is that the standards of women is almost universal. A tall guy will always be seen as superior by the vast majority of the women. It is the same for being thin, having muscles, being confident, etc.

Men are the more experimental sex. Some men like thin women, other like chubby women. Some like short women, other like tall women. Some like shy women, other like confident women. The list goes on.

Exceptions always exist, but this is the general trend. The reason why it is this way is very simple, it's nature. A woman can get pregnant from only one man so she needs to make sure it's someone with high genetic quality. Our brains haven't evolved that much so humans can't help to see tall men as more attractive than for example intelligent men, despite the latter being much more important for human progress at this point. In nature men aren't the ones taking risk when being attracted to a woman with some quirks, so it is obvious we are less critical of these aspects.
