If you are a short girl, I understand the need to feel protected. You are 5 foot flat and 90lbs...anyone can pick you up and throw you like a rag doll. You are pretty much the size of a kid and thus you want a big guy to protect you.


However, if you are a tall girl...e.g. 5"11, 145 lbs...why do you NEED to feel protected? Shouldn't you be able to protect yourself?


I thought that we are moving towards an equal society where there is no "protector" or "provider" roles anymore...

Just cause you're 5'2 and 90lbs doesn't mean you can't **** someone up.

Just cause you're 5'11 and 145, doesn't mean you can.

Mod cut: Off topic.
The inside answer to your question is that short men need to go after women who do not put a great deal of value on traditional gender roles.

Ok in your case..if you need to feel protected, why does the height of the guy matter?

A 5"7 guy who is muscular and trains mma can protect you just as well...

About 90 percent of the worlds problems would be gone if people just had a "C'est la vie" attitude toward things.....

So if height doesn't matter why do most short guys (in real life or on the internet) seem to have problems getting dates?


Here comes the spiel about someone gonna post how they know a friend who is 5"3 and outgoing and gets tons of dates?

Tall girls, for the most part, want someone at least as tall as them, if not taller.

Sorry, but 5'7" wouldn't cut it for me... even with muscles and mma.

They want to feel feminine or something.

Posters have said in the past that they have insecurities about dating short men.

Why do they want to feel protected? Um... because they're girls? Hello?

Protect herself? Are you serious? Against a 200+ lb. mugger or rapist? Are you aware that men's muscle power is much greater than women's, and that height has nothing to do with it? Guys who are 5' tall are way stronger than women who are 6' tall, unless those women are bodybuilders and the men don't work out at all. At least, on Planet Earth that's the way it works. Where are you from?
