I'm 5'8" or 5'9" depending on my mood and my shoes...

I don't feel like my height was ever an issue for getting chicks.. it might have been, but as they say ignorance is bliss.

I wouldn't mind being a couple inches taller, not losing any sleep over it, just saying.

Course I'm a major big ballin pimp mack daddy, so that always impresses the hell out of the ladies.......

Yes, and I used to be one of them.
I did not like dating anyone shorter than me. Tried it; did not like it.
So... if you are under 5'11", I would not date you.
Actually, I would not date anyone now, as I am happily married.


I don't see why this is such a tough concept for you to grasp... different people prefer different things.
Which is a GOOD thing, as there is someone for everyone.

Becasue the majority of women feel the same way you do and all i hear is how shallow and supefricial men are when women are probably even moreso..

There certainly are a great many women who could not care less if a man is under 5'8" and there are many women who have a total disregard for convention in this matter.

I absolutely agree here, it is certainly asked at least once a month.

It appears to me from the many, many times this question is asked that in essence it is really about a man (short or tall) having a decent personality, sense of humor, wit, charm and confidence in himself as a man that will attract, get the attention of and maintain the interest of the ladies.

Now never post about this subject again.

z is just 'busting your chops' as they say...this topic has literally been covered to infinity and there is no convincing any short man that the answers which have been provided now or in the past, have not and/or will not convince any short man that it always will be a matter of personal preference first (like it or not). However, I still contend that if a man has confidence in himself he can have his 'pick of the crop'.

My perfect example in the past has been the short height and small stature of a thoroughbred jockey...in my experience they never suffer a shortage of ladies (tall or short, fat or thin, sexy or not) and some may even observe that they have a devoted following of groupies. Granted, pound for pound they are the strongest and toughest athletes in and of any sport, however they have something even better going on for them, a complete C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E in themselves as a man.

End of story...

No way.
The majority of women are NOT 5'11" preferring someone taller than they are.
So they do NOT feel the same way I do.

Nothing to do with being shallow or superficial either... just wanted some taller. I can't help my height you know! In fact, I am the shortest among my siblings... and my husband and kids are taller than I. My nickname growing up was Shorty!

So true... but the guys here do not believe that.
No... they WILL not believe that.

You'd write me off cause I'm a little shorter than 5'11", but it's all good. I get that some people have different things they like......

I don't get why men can drone on about big boobs or whatever but a woman expresses a height preference and she's some how vilified......

Yeah, let's compare the everyday short guy to athletes of any variety.

That's a good idea.
