I'll let my point rest. I would be curious to hear feedback from other men here, short and tall, on what they perceive the role of their height and that of others on life trajectory and personal experiences.

I'm 5'10", which is about average height for a male. People under 5'4" tend to regard me as tall and sometimes ask me to reach up and get things they are unable to reach for themselves; beyond that, I'm not tall enough to be called Daddy Long Legs or Stick Insect and no one would describe me as that "puny little short arse" so it's a fairly good height that doesn't cause me any problems one way or the other.

My bet is that you have been in fights, maybe expressly because of your height.

Wrong.

It's worth noting that I"m asexual, so nothing turns me ON in the first place.

Offtopic: if you are an asexual , then you had right to tell me " Yeah, this is BS, too.." to my post in that thread :

Damn girl, you don't even represent 5% of your gender's population.

The nature of your 'initial spark' is totally different than others.

ps: if you want to reply , reply there.

That's like saying only football players can analyze football. :roll:

If you have a disagreement with my opinion, say so, but declaring my opinion somehow invalid because I'm asexual is pure laziness.

Fine, you had the right (vive la democratie!)

but your point of view regarding this matter doesn't reflect the "norm".

Taller usually means physically stronger, so the physically strongest guys would be more tempted to bully the physically weaker ones , while the shorter ones would be more likely to be beaten and humiliated in a fight with taller guys

And do not confuse aggressiveness with bitterness.

Taller =/= Physically Stronger

and

more importanly

More ABLE to physically bully =/= more "TEMPTED"

Do you mean to say that the nature of my attraction doesn't reflect the "norm"?

Because you haven't presented a poll of the "point of view" of most people on the topic in question (how to get a boyfriend)
so it's a bit difficult to judge mine in contrast, no?

I've always had a thing for small, skinny males. Maybe because I'm 5'0-5'2. Or maybe that's just what I find cute.

Ok ladies,
1-how much height of a guy is important for you?
2- How much is your height?
3- is a height less than 6 feet a turn off?
4- is a height less than 5.5 feet a turn off?

1. on a scale 1 to 10, 7
2. 5"5
3. If its a lot less, yes!!
4. YES!

I like tall guys, at least 6 ft.
Dont worry though! I like everyone!
If a nice guy was short, sure I would date him.

I've always thought this Napoleon complex you're all talking about was a bit harsh. Some man was being agressive to me & some cousins a few weeks back and one of my cousins said he had short man syndrome. I thought he was a total dick but his height hadn't even been a thought.
Personally I'd imagine if the same guy was taller he probably would have been even more of a dick. Napoleon complex seems to imply that if they gained a foot these people would suddenly gain a new personality too?

i have a theory that we CAN change what we are attracted to. it constantly changes on its own anyways, i.e. i don't like the same specific things in males that i went for when i was 15 years old, nor what i found attractive at 25. it's not like we are born preferring a certain type, or that type would remain static throughout our lives.
in my theory (based only on observation, not facts) think we can change our own preferences with a little openmindedness and experience.

We can all change what we are attracted to. I do all the time. Also a thread like this brings out this sort of behaviour - in real life I really liked a guy who was only two inches taller than me at the start of last year.

But some guy trying to gain e-cred with a stupid internet argument isn't going to do it. Not a sh*t show in hell.

Also: Re: people talking about short man syndrome, I don't see what the big deal is. If I was a guy and did something agressive once I would rather it be written off jokingly as short man syndrome than if I was tall and got labelled a "dangerous, agressive monster"

1-how much height of a guy is important for you? Doesn't matter. If I really like someone's personality the height isn't gonna stop me.
2- How much is your height? 5 feet 4 inches ~ 1.62 meters
3- is a height less than 6 feet a turn off? No
4- is a height less than 5.5 feet a turn off? It is if he has a Napoleon complex.

I am about 5'10".

I prefer a woman around 5'4-5" since arms arounds hips seems to fit best then.
Really, though I could care less if she was a munchkin or a sasquatch as long as she has something going on between the ear lobes.

Do women actually give a crap about this? Women that prefer tall guys, do you also like big dogs over lap dogs?

It's something women can give a crap about, like hairstyles and what your nose looks like and so on. It's just one of the many thing we decide whether or not we're attracted to. I prefer taller men in general, but I don't like big dogs. I like small/medium sized dogs.
