Surely women want to a guy who lives long enough?

Well I just find it surprising that women don’t mind going after men who may not live long enough to provide for them in the long run. Also they risk passing on those same problems onto there offspring.

I suppose though not everyone is aware that tall people live shorter lives?

What an interesting question.

Maybe because in the past age difference was more irrelevant so it wouldn't have mattered because older men still died before them. Don't women after 30 also give birth to lesser healthy offspring? Chances of some issues increase after that.

So then women just have themselves to care for once the child is big enough. They also can provide for themselves and find new partners.

I am reminded about the hormone that gets released with lactation, crying hormone. I have wondered why women would push a partner away in such a fragile state of their life just after birth, through the postnatal depression. Or why PMS pushes men/women [partners and family] away when the woman is at a sensitive, weak and emotional time when she urges to be cuddled and soothed. My opinion is this is part of testing or related. A partner who will stay no matter how crazy she can get will be the strongest to protect her.

Think personality weighs heavily on whether people choose on another ... Height is not necessarily a factor .
But if your personalities don’t match ? People very probably would not make it in the long haul .....
Hubby was only a inch taller ..... but we had become Pair bonded within the first year . And we both became more and more keenly aware of it as we aged .

A good idea is to remember how fast selecting a partner is changed and shaped as society gender power and roles change, technology changes, farmers vs nerds. Muscles vs maybe having a car to help you or a useful house repair skill.

So maybe the value of someone who takes their treatment and cares about their health vs someone who doesn't and gets into risky things is more accurate.

'Does he wash up? Never wash up
Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up
Does he brush up? He never brushed up
He does nothing, the boy does nothing

And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance
(Do the mambo, shake it all around now)'

Does he bring fruit in the morning if im a slow wake? I guess it matters to complete their partner and work to care for them.

Dangerous to assume that all strong women want to be provided for.

Ironically gold digging women often like men who are old. Not everyone in an age gap relationship does this but enough of them that it's a phenomena


Call it "compensation". 8)
My recent blood test suggest I will hang around, for the foreseeable future, so I doubt many "gold diggers" will be looking my way. :mrgreen:

, like the height thing. They have the life insurance provide for them...

Most people want someone who is attractive, sure, but also liveable with. Someone they actually love. So they'd rather they lived a long time cos they love them.


Both are important, but without compatible personalities, it is a very 2 dimensional relationship. 8)

It's dangerous to read too much incel/pua stuff rather than actually listening to women in healthy relationships. Women in healthy relationships don't put an obsessive amount of attention on their partners' looks, it's just one of many things they admire/like about the person they love - and the same the other way around.


I was a woman, in a previous life, so I can safely agree. :mrgreen:

I think some guys really overestimate importance of height and other physical traits. For me, the most important part of physical attractiveness of a man is his... smell -

You want "smelly"?
I have oodles of it, even without my anal glands. 8)

"Smell" is actually very important.
It is an indicator of physical compatibility in terms of producing healthy offspring.
I suspect you knew that already. :wink:

That is probably why Roleplay was invented. It allows people to be anyone.

Jamesy, I think you're fixated too much on the notion of 'utility value' and seem to be completely missing the point that most people really just want someone they're comfortable around, who makes them feel loved, wanted and needed and who they enjoy spending their time with.
What utter nonsense! Most modern marriages don't even last 5 years. People are getting married for the wrong reasons. It's nothing but a scam.

FACT CHECK: My wife and I have been married for over a quarter-century.


So, because you have, everyone else have?
I don't think so, Tim.
This is an enduring theme, from you. :wink:

As a 6ft tall woman I have never been in an romantic relationship with someone taller then me. I have always preferred shorter and older men. Personality and scent and compatibility and similar viewpoints and morals and physical and mental health and likes and interest are important.
All the women I have known do not care about height. There are so many more things that are important other then height when looking for a partner.
