Ok, so how tall is your significant other? (sex, straight, average)

Obviously the last guy you chased has mental or emotional issues.If he hasnt had interest from a woman for 5 years, and you ask him out, and he declines, he has problems. No healthy male would turn down a date if he hadnt had interest for 5 years. He did you a favor by declining, as he wouldnt be someone worth dating anyway.
So I will rephrase, most of the time the hot guys get chased.
But in that scenario, you win. You tried, and he failed. On to the next. And he is a total idiot, and deserves his misery.
And FWIW, I have been chased a couple times, and I am far from hot. But each time was by a friend.
But, I would be willing to bet you knew the guy somewhat as a friend or co-worker before asking him out. I doubt it was a cold approach and you asked him out during the first convo. If I am wrong, I applaud you.
How do you know he's miserable ?
I haven't had a date in 9 years, and I'm not miserable. And I'm not a total idiot, either. And I don't deserve to suffer either. I just don't really want a girlfriend. I mean, sometimes I wish I had one, but I don't want a girlfriend enough to do whatever it takes to go find one. I like my independence and easy life. You have no idea that the guy has any sort of mental issues. You have no idea that he's not worth dating.
Why? He wasn't attracted to me and no amount of 'dry spell' was going to change that. He told me he was into petite women (i.e., short and thin) and I'm decidedly not petite so why would he waste his time with me?
Like I said, even most guys in a dry spell who complain about women not being into them will decline a woman they don't find physically attractive. Hell, even I could be in a relationship right now if I wanted to date the homeless guy who hit on me a few weeks ago, or the 70 year old businessman who said he could 'show me a good time'.
This was the second time I'd met the guy, he's a friend of my roommates.
Well, you see, certainly a majority of people, including me, are not interested in dating someone that they are not attracted to at all. Why do you make it sound like it's a bad thing ?
We have a right to discriminate when choosing a date. Discrimination is not a bad word in the dating world, nor is it a bad word in statistics.
I dunno. Never rejected anyone. But I do think that while it's not nice to reject someone because of height, I know it happens, and it's your right to do it.
You're sounding absolutely ridiculous in this thread.

I completely agree... I was just saying that men seem to think it's wrong for a woman to 'discriminate' against shorter men but it's perfectly okay for them to 'discriminate' against uglier women. I agree that one should only be with people they are attracted to and if that means taller guys then that's fine.
I don't have a significant other, but I am sort of hitting it off with a man right now. I am 5'7" and he's about 5'9" (I judge this on if I wear 2 inch heels we see eye to eye... so I don't wear the heels around him anymore).
I really don't understand why this is a problem for many people. What's wrong with seeing him eye to eye?
I was dating a man who is 5'8" but I dumped him and now I'm "talking to" a man who is over 6' tall. Well a couple of men and both that tall. Of course there may have been other reasons I dumped the man.

I agree. There shouldn't be this double standard. It should be perfectly okay for both men and women to "discriminate" as they please in dating.
That's why Lucario's comments make no sense to me.
About the only thing you can say when it comes to this, is that the majority of women are going to prefer men who are taller than they are for whatever reason. Some are just way more superficial than others.
i tend to laugh at those women because, well, those women who prefer the taller men do not have a lot of options, since there isn't that many men who are taller than 6'.
I've been rejected for every reason under the sun, and probably more. Hell I've had women tell me I should kill myself for being so ugly looking. If I were to ever be rejected based solely on my height, I think I'd walk away laughing at them.

Yep. The majority of women prefer taller men and the majority of men prefer shorter/petite women.
That's just the way it is and the way it will probably always be.
