I don't get it, Tom Cruise is 5'7", if this is considered short then many men in my family are miniscule.

He's a little below average for an American man (5'10"), but most Hollywood actors are taller than average so he seems even shorter by comparison.

That's so amazing to me. I'd think the average American man to be 5'6 or so.

That's so amazing to me. I'd think the average American man to be 5'6 or so.

If the standard deviation I found on one website of 3" is correct, then statistically less than 10% of American men are 5'6" or shorter.

Where's the option for curvy men?

I like people with overweight tops, and skinny bottoms.

Like this bison

That's because men are always in shape.

round IS a shape.

I would suppose the area where I live - lots of people of Dutch ancestry - have above average height. Lots over 6'

As far as not allowing societal pressures to influence your choice of romantic partner, I'd say that's all about character. @Frieslander started a thread recently in which he said (paraphrasing here) that he found himself quite attracted to a larger woman, but was not sure if he should pursue her because he was afraid of what his family and what "society" would think of him for being attracted to her. To me, that's an almost unthinkable quandary. If she seems like a nice lady, and you want to bang the shizzle out of her, why would you give a rat's ass about what anybody thinks of your choice of mate?

Luckily my family really doesn't care who I bring home, just as long as they are a good, respectable person. Although I remember once my supervisor from work and myself were hanging out at the bar that both of us frequent. A women came in with a beautiful pear shape, and I brought it to his attention that I liked what I saw, and he said "that's disgusting", because he liked thin, slender women. But I really could care less what anyone or my supervisor thinks if I like "disgusting" women. Just as HopeGrows said, if she's a good person, and we both want to bang the shizzle out of each other, I could care less what anyone thinks. If I can't please society by liking what everyone else likes, oh well.

I'm glad for people like you and your family. I'm sure the lady you admired was lovely. While she may not have been your boss' cup of tea, that certainly doesn't make her "disgusting." Shame on him for behaving so badly. Everyone needs love - big, small, short, tall - it doesn't matter. We're certainly not required to love everyone we meet - but why would anyone waste his/her breath criticizing anyone else's tastes or desires? Love is love - that's what it's all about.

Well, I don't plant on banging shizzle our of her yet. We're just friends right now.

Oh honey, please don't think that way about yourself. You're a very sweet girl who's just having a dry spell right now. Don't worry - they don't last.

The shortest span I've had between relationships was 2-3 years. It wasn't for lack of trying, either. I asked guys out and kept getting shot down. Besides, when was the last time a guy my age said that he wanted a very sweet girl? I know I've never heard it. Girls look for sweetness in a guy but it's rarely the other way around.

emuman100 - And how do you know? Did you see a pic of me? And where are these guys that told you this? Trust me. I'm 70 pounds too ugly to appeal to the guys in my age group. :/
