I used to date tall men, but I married a guy who's an average height.
But that's not what those goofy size enlarging ads say...

Glad my package isn't larger. It would make finding clothes difficult, which I already don't like clothes shopping right now!

This experiment sounds suspect. Men don't get a whole lot of responses on most dating sites, period, because most dating sites are sausage-fests. Also, I would think 7' is way too tall. Being that tall is awkward to say the least. The only people who are that tall and have any type of advantage for it are NBA players. A little bit above 6' is usually the premium height. I'm 6'1" and I've had profiles on multiple dating sites for about two years and have only talked to a total of three women in all of those two years on dating sites. Other than that, my inbox was collecting dust. I messaged dozens of women trying to initiate regular small talk conversation, but mostly got ignored. I didn't write my profile like I was a kindergarden dropout either.

Also, I have a lot of friends who are taller than me as well. My one buddy is 6'6" and he isn't exactly a lady-killer. He is a regular guy just like a guy who is 5'8". He has expressed his frustrations of finding the right girl as well. He used to be addicted to going to Hooters every week because he enjoyed the attention the scantily-clad bartenders and servers gave him there (This guy is a little too geeky and conservative for all out strip clubs and hookers; and thats a good thing).

I hate to break it to people but height is NOT the ultimate dealbreaker. Just because you are tall does not guarantee instant success with women. There are so many more dimensions when it comes to attraction. Also, attraction, in itself, is only one dimension of a relationship. So many people have different personalities, interests, hobbies as well as different preferences in what they look for in a man or a woman. I am a unique individual, so I know I am not every woman's cup of tea.

Don't think it's correlated...

Apparently gorillas average 5cm (2 inches). Some of them weigh like 500 pounds so there's something to think about .

Yikes! Since I measure whopping 5'0, anyone over 6' is a GIANT to me. A 7' guy might have a heart of gold, but physically, we would be all wrong.

I don't see what's so hard to accept about it. If a bigger man has everything else larger why should his dinger not be too?

Yeah it's like an 8:1 ratio of men to women I've heard. However, on a site in a metro of 8,000,000 you're gonna get some messages for sure.

I live in a smaller metro than that & I get maybe 3-4 messages a day on a site that I'm on. I'm only 5'8" and just "decent" looking too. I can see how a really tall Colin Farrell look-alike would get a lot of messages.
