Okay, so they are SUPER CRAZY. I don't think they have a happy life ahead of them.

By the way (and no offense meant), criteria is already plural. The singular is criterion. There's no such word as criterias.

Women 5'8 or taller? Men 5'6 or shorter. hmm. I don't know how that would look to other people, but to me, it don't look particularly strange. Maybe a little uncommon, but not strange. I generally look for men 5'10 or taller just because of my height. I'd rather him lean down to kiss me than the other way around. My boyfriend is 6 feet, & I'm 5'8. (I'm tired of guessing how tall I am. I mesured.)

I think a woman who's 5'8 would usually go no shorter than 5'6 (BIG MAYBE.) It's all in the criterias. haha

It has EVERYTHING to do with it. That point comes through loud and clear in your posts. Get over it. There will always be women that tend to overlook men under 6 feet. There will always be men that overlook women that aren't "hot" in their eyes. So what? Yeesh. Stop letting such petty observances affect your own life. Negative processing will never ever move you forward in life.

I don't take offense. English is my second language and that kind of feedback is only helpful.

i've been told "you're too short" but its never bothered me, i had a girlfriend (6 years ago) who was 6 feet tall, albeit i was only 2 inches shorter, when she wore heel's everybody noticed.

who was the one with the height insecurities? her.

she told me i was too short at the beginning. so she went on to date a 6' 2" guy, they both went to show off their dance moves, problem is he dropped her when he brought her into a dip. she hit her head, it looked painful.

she was humiliated. he went to relax, i eventually got her back onto the floor, and dipped her properly, then took some faster moves, to take her mind off of what happened, then one more dip and i kissed her. she knew i was into her. but she never mentioned the "too short" rubbish again.

needless to say that was the beginning of the end of their relationship and the start to a more confident relationship that lasted several years.

women may think they want a guy whos their height, problem is everyone is different and when you judge a book by its cover without looking at the author (the persons personality and passions) you probably won't like reading the book. (spending your life with that person)

I have a girlfriend who has been online dating for over three years. She told me that she will only consider men who are at least 5'10" tall. I told her that comes across as superficial, and her response was, "It's not about the looks; it's just that I need a tall man in order to feel safe and protected in his arms." What the . . . ? She is missing out on a whole heck of a lot of good men because of her silly height requirement!!!! She is 5'3" btw.

Wouldn't it be just easier to just cut and paste the links to the other hundred threads we've had on this subject?

That is ridiculous.

By the way, I saw your pic on your profile. If I was single, I couldn't date you. Not because of your height but you look about 3 or 4 in that pic. I can't date that young.

^^^no matter what her age, I'm sure she wouldn't date the invisible man....meaning you have no pic in your profile. Personally, I look for intelligence.
