I've known plenty of short females (under 5 feet and as short as 4'8") who I would think were created for a short man like me but what I heard from some of them: "I won't date anyone under 5'10".........."I only date men over 6 feet, I'm good looking so I deserve/I can get them". "Short women and tall men look good together".

Actually I don't mind amazons and I would gladly date/mate/marry a woman 6'5" or better so I hope that ALL you guys marry ALL the short girls.

Not that I look.


Chow what gym!

I only date men between 5'7 & 5'10.

I'm not attracted to anything over.

I've tried to date a guy 6'. I wanted to step outside of my dating box. Not for me.

And yes: to go there... from the standpoint of a 6'2 guy who... you know... wears a size 15 shoe... you run into, uh, logistical problems that are much more pronounced, the greater the height difference. And while there have been a few girls who have been all about it, there have been an equal number who have said things like "that's scary" or "there's no way I'm putting that in me." You want to talk about a buzzkill, or feeling emasculated? Yeah.
Well destroying the lower region of a doll is not something every woman wants. There are some women who have become so umm "widened" that nothing else will please them anymore. Then their criteria becomes the search for "bigfoot" so they can get that umm "cozy" feeling again.

I only know one guy who's 7 ft tall or taller who has it easy with the ladies, but he also hit the jackpot finding a cute girl who was 6'1...
The rest of them (can think of 5 of the top of my head) have a hard time finding women since most women are sadly rather short.

I mean almost a third of the women I run into are too short for me and I'm just an inch or so taller than average height among the guys in my class (6'4).

One thing I noticed though is that there seems to be a lot of focus on height on this forum... never heard so much fuzz about it before around here...

Edit:
Btw the genetics that determine the size of the penis are not connected to those that determine the rest of the body.
Also remember that the penis is a boneless extremity. (rules out your proportion theories)

My friend agreed to have his picture used on it, he's considered pretty average looking, nothing special, but not ugly. Anyway, we had to do some very creative photography and photoshopping to make it look as if he was truly 7 ft. tall. We lowered a basketball rim and had him reach up & touch it with his feet flat on the ground. Had some people kneel down in pics with him, but cut the part off where you could see they were kneeling.

As for the profile, we wanted to make this guy have traits that would normally be very undesirable to many women. The headline got a lot of attention, we put "Tallest guy on POF!" Here's how the profile read, and yes we really put all this down.

Hay ladies,

My name is Jon I'm 29 & i'm a cool guy that happens to be seven foot tall. Yah I used to play basketball but my cureer ended when i dropped out of high school sofmore year. i didn't never care for school i still don't need it. I like to do a lot of fun stuff i don't have a job so i got lots of free time to persue my hobies. but because i don't have a job i don't have no car and i can't pay for no dates. I'm hopin to find a girl who will take care of those needs for me. My main hobies are smoking weed and playing xbox 360. i'm looking for a girl whose 420 frendly i live in my moms basement but she don't care if i smoke or have frends over 2 smoke

I don't plan to live at home 2 much longer. I just got done serving an 8 years sintince in prison and i want to get my life back on track and stay away from the po-po's.

Message me ladys i want to get 2 know u!

Now, any reasonable person would think "Who the hell would respond to that ad?" You would think no one, but within two hours of posting the profile we had 11 messages in our inbox. All the messages stated something along the lines of "Wow, I love REALLY tall guys" or "Oooh, 7ft. tall, yummy!" You would think the majority of women responding would be less than desirable too, but most that messaged us had good jobs, were good looking, and were educated.

When we started chatting with some of them through IM, that's when things got real interesting. Here are some interesting tidbits from our chats? RG = random girl

Jon: yeh i really am that tall girl
RG: Can we meet tonight?

Jon: So is it OK that i smoke weed?
RG: It's no big deal, I mean everyone has their vices right?

Jon: I don't know how i'm gunna be able to take you to eat with no $ or car?
RG: Don't worry about it, I'll come pick you up and pay for the date too.

Jon: nah I can't get 2 gether tomorrow nite, i got a double date with my xbox and my bong
RG: Perhaps this weekend?

I know you're thinking, this all sounds crazy or too outlandish, but none of this is made up or is a joke. My friend and I just sat there going

The only total dealbreaker during our chats that sent every woman running for the hills was when we told them that "Jon" was a registered sex offender who was in prison for fondling an 11 year old girl.

We took the profile down as soon as our experiment ended.

Anyone think a 5'10" guy with a profile like this would get many replies? LOL
In order for this to be remotely considered an experiment this needs to be reposted, same site, same "person", but with positive traits.

Many times the guys who are over 5'10" have weird dreams of their kids playing basketball so they will date, but probably never marry a girl who is under 5". Too bad for all people who think they "deserve" things.

I suspect that you were also the victim of a leg-pulling. I really would doubt that any adult would find the profile that you created, to be anything other than a joke.
