Why some guys make such a big deal about their height?! (girlfriends, girl)

[john-ever-learning]

I'm 5'10 and my lady loves me. I don't feel short or tall. I feel just right. and you know what, everything about me is just right.

And I'm a 6'1 tall woman who gets rejected for being too tall all the time... I still wear heels though

What, you don't want your woman being 6'5?? Well, then you can move right along

OMG!!! For heaven's sake!!! EVERYbody, male and female, except for that "top" .05% or what-have-you, has something that will "lower his or her chances" of having a huge majority of people romantically interested in his or her.

So what???

Do you need 50% of the male/female population? Or do you just need to go out and date? Maybe eventually have just that one person?

Honestly, cry me a river over this one...every person has something to deal with that makes us less than perfect in some way to the opposite sex...yet the vast majority of us seem to hook up anyway. Obsessing over one characteristic is, IMO, simply avoiding bigger issues. If anyone is this insecure over just one physical characteristic that isn't even something way out of the ordinary (we're not talking about open sores or heavy scarring or repulsive hygiene habits or something here), you have a lot more trouble than just height.

I personally know two gals that will not date guys under 6'0 tall.

Not shockingly they have historically dated d-bags, are both 40+ unmarried and complain about not being able to find the right guy. (They have a startling list of criteria they look for which is most of the problem.)

This is the behaviour of the younger crowd, but 40+

Ha! Although, I'm also rather busty and when Im wearing heels sometimes I feel a bit like a really good drag queen

I think we should have had a few inches removed from our legs, don't you?!?! It would have greatly increased our odds with the men.

They aren't ready or willing to do the tough work to overcome their low self esteem and other issues.

I'll toast to that!!!!

And yet most women that come here would absolutely deny that, and suggest that most women are angels who don't look at all that
