Are there any girls who LIKE short guys?

Post Reply New Topic

because some feminists and MTV have sought to make the "hot guy" as common in culture as the hot girl, and thus raises standards in looks for women. Also, feminists try to equate being a short guy with being a fat woman. That "womyn" should give men a taste of their own medicine by being shallow. Being short is not an indication of poor taking care of oneself or laziness. Thats why such an equation is wrong.

I've never came across such conspiracy theory before lol.

Look, it's not the feminism, it's simply biological, the female instinct. Traditional women are as serious about the guy's height.

Have you noticed how the general idea of men has become harder to attain? Decades ago, Al Pacino, DeNiro, Brando could be cast and become huge stars. Today, you have to be more "dreamy" aka feminine in the face, today's culture stars are lighter haired, and noticeably taller. Its all teeny boppers like Leo DiCaprio, who was really only good in Titanic and Shutter Island, or Brad Pitt, who is at best, decent, Justin Timberlake, and so on.

Back when I was about 20 I hung out with this one group of folks. There were about 15 or so regulars who were there every night, and I was one of them. At the time I was dating this musician from the group, and I later dated another guy from the group, then I met my husband who wasn't in the group and stopped hanging out with them because I was busy dating. That's neither here nor there. I wanted to tell you about Big Bad Billy Joe.

His real name was Billy Joe (probably William Joseph) but the Big Bad part was a nickname, the big part being ironic. He was one of the most popular guys in the group. He was about 5-2 or 5-3. Something like that. I'm 5-10 so I couldn't tell the difference with about an inch of height. He used to joke on his height a lot. However, he developed this image that worked perfectly with it, although I don't know how it would work out of the South. He did work out a lot so he was all buff, but he drove this huge pickup truck, all pimped out with I don't know how much lift on it, but he had the little steps to get up there. I couldn't even get in it without the steps nor could the tall guys. One of THOSE trucks. The huge ones. He also work cowboy boots all the time and dressed in a somewhat Western style so he could wear the boots with them. The boots had about two inch heels on them, like lots of cowboy boots do. They added some height. He also wore a big ole cowboy hat most of the time too, which adds more height. And a big silver belt buckle to kind of balance things out. It not only made him look taller, but standing next to his truck which made everybody look short, it wasn't so noticable that he was that short. Plus, being as big and buff as he was that also made him look bigger. Nobody wanted to mess with him cause of the size of his arms and shoulders. He had girls falling all over him. He was very outgoing and joked around a lot and everything, but was a very nice guy. He had lots of friends too, because even though he could hang with the jocks and joke around with them, he wasn't ever mean to anybody. He would also make jokes about himself as well, although unless you were good friends with him, you didn't make a joke about him because of the whole big buffness of him that would kick your ass for you.

I don't know if you would be interested in anything like that, and I don't know where you live so I don't know if the cowboy thing would work there or not. However, I'd suggest a style where you can wear shoes with some heels on them and possibly lifts inside the shoes, and a look that can incorporate a hat as well. Some kind of hat that is off the head a couple inches. A look using a fedora would work, especially if you aren't muscular and don't want to spend the time working on that. You could wear the skinny jeans and the boots with heels like Russell Brand wears and you could wear tshirts or whatever else with them. You could get fedoras in different colors and such and wear a different one with different outfits. Unless you are in a formal situation, if a hat like that is obviously part of an outfit, you won't need to take it off indoors, so it will be fine in a classroom or restaurant. Something like a ball cap wouldn't be. The hat and boots could become sort of a signature look for you. While it doesn't add actual height, it will add the illusion of height and also give you sort of a cool at first glance look which will help in the first impression department s long as you follow up with talking to people.

Its rare that women will date a man that is significantly shorter than they are. Some will, more so now than back in my day. (I'm 57 years old, and 5' 5") I've asked women about this and they always deny it, but it is almost always the rule. Personally I believe its because of peer pressure (other women tease them), but again they deny this.

With all due respect, such suggestions are silly.

Such radical changes in one's fashion would appear laughable and even desperate to his social circle, and you're actually telling him to change his whole personality/himself.

Yes it's very rare.

But however, when women here reply about this, suddenly ALL women (themselves and all the women they know) have dated a shorter guy in their past. , all of the sudden all the women folk don't care about height. Every one of them start claiming that they know endless of women dating men shorter than themselves or that they have given a chance to men shorter than themselves (that aside of usually telling us how ugly the experience was and how much greater the experience dating a tall man).

"It's not a disadvantage, it's all in your head, I've dated a shorter guy before" -

Yeah right.

They were suggestions and guidelines, not "WEAR THIS!" Sorry you disapprove of something that could work. What wrong with trying to look better and be friendlier? Oh wait, that's right. This is WP L&D, I forgot. I should have put "Make no effort of any kind, no matter how small. When you are still in the same circumstances next year, blame the women for it. When you are still in the same circumstances in five years, blame the jocks for it. When you are in the same circumstances ten years from now, blame society for it. Above all, never make any changes which could actually help you!"

I didn't tell him to go buy a big truck and dress like Billy Joe. I suggested maybe a hat and some shoes. People change their styles all the time and it can be done gradually so it doesn't look silly.

But OP, sorry for the laughable and desperate sounding suggestion. Especially from me because females have no idea what might catch the eye of other females, thus giving the guy a chance to talk to her. Boo is right. Stay the way you are and blame everybody else. His success is proof of how well his theory works.

I didn't say any theory and I am not telling him to stay the way he is.

If I wanna give him a more practical suggestion, I would say he should works out (which you already said it) but not becoming too square-like buff, and to work on his career/job/education - aka having a professional life, a bit of grooming is necessary too. And oh to stop blaming on feminism (this is so ridiculous) and to ACCEPT that his height as a disadvantageous trait for dating that needs to be compensated by values/qualities. He should also not be so hung on weight and super looks, short girls tend to have more fat control problem, and I would advise him to go for short girls unless he's asked out by taller girls.

But hat and high boots? How this can be done gradually without being so apparent?

and hey, don't get personal and poke about my relationships/dating success.

من كانَ بيتُهُ من زُجاج لا يرمي الناسَ بالحجارة - "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

That saying isn't exactly applicable here you know.

I suggested something like boots with an inch or so heel and maybe a hat. How is that ridiculous? I'm not talking about something gaudy and tacky, you can get something like that that isn't so in your face. And whats wrong with a hat? Lots of guys wear hats, and fedoras are actually in fashion again. It would simply look like he's trying something that is in style. Many people try things that are in style.

He could use those suggestions in lots of ways, not just by following them to the letter and dressing like Russel Brand. They make lots of shoes for guys with heels. They also make plenty of them with lifts inside. He could find something that fits his style that gives him a little more height. There are lots of types of hats that can add the illusion of height, and plenty of guys wear hats, so he could find something that would work. I just suggested a fedora because I like them. If a hat is out of the question then he could get a layered type haircut and blowdry it so it's fuller on the top to add an inch. It's a concept. I don't know how old he is, so I don't know what look would work for him. I just suggested things off the top of my head as a guide.

And I said what I did because very often you tend to shoot down everybody else's advice as idiotic. Even advice given by people who have had success in the field that is being discussed. I just thought it was ironic that you did that. If you want to be quoting sayings at each other, then the one I think is appropriate for that is "Those who can't do, teach". My relationships are certainly not the best, but they aren't the worst either.

Yes it's very rare.

Yeah right.

Every man under 5`8" is doomed to a life of solitude and rejection.
Yeah right.

Where I said that?
