You think that a woman would be able to discern two inches of height?...get outta here...that is just sheer paranoia...
I've previously admitted that I am not attracted to short men, precipitating all sorts of whining about how I would probably date someone who is 6'0" and not 5'10". These whiners invariably ignore the fact that height -- like everything else -- is assessed visually. I've never asked a man what his height was, simply because you just don't ask dates about any measurements; hey, men generally don't ask women how much they weigh -- slenderness or plumpness are apparent on sight. I'm actually pretty bad at estimating height or distances accurately, so an actual number doesn't really matter. Conversely, numbers don't sway me in the other direction either. A man who appears to be my height (I'm 5'2") while wearing high-heeled boots, can protest he's 5'8" all he wants (this actually happened) -- I'll still see him as short.

Dies that mean 5'8 is short to you or the guy was lying and nowhere near 5'8?

It means, if it looks short, it is short, as far as I am concerned. I don't care about numbers.

So maybe you need something to compensate for your height.

There's a midget couple on TV, but I don't know what their names are. I don't watch that show.

Good point, I can't say if someone is a 34B or a 38C--but I'll probably be more interested in the 38C. All things being equal, of course.

38C is overweight, unless the woman is really tall or is an athlete with extreme upper body strength which would likely mean less than a C cup. (Don't yell at me, 38C women... 95% of you are chubby.)

I guess I just proved you right about not knowing numbers!

Well, a skinny girl would probably not have a 38C--unless she had work done. The thing is, I don't know by looking what her size is...but I'm going to be attracted to the bigger ones either way.

Do you think you could explain the bra numbers...I don't really get it either.

How Much of an Advantage Do Tall Men Have? Are Tall Men Really Better Off?




don't want no short, short man **FINAL REPORT**


Short Persons Support: Research : Personals Analyzer


Now, I can guarantee that I will have people attacking me personally, but not the content of this post (making themselves look immature in the process) while others will INSIST that that is not the case (despite not showing any scientific evidence to the contrary)

If someone could show me some ACTUAL EVIDENCE to prove me wrong, as in scientific evidence or a study that goes against the studies I have posted, I will listen. Instead, I will get people denying the evidence and attacking myself in a childish manner.

Face it: short men have a better chance of winning the lottery then they do of finding a mate. Either prove me wrong using evidence, or fall silent.



Greetings,
When I visited the east coast. There is plenty of short folks of both genders. Try there
Be Blessed
