Hi SifuPhil,

Because you need to be a top male in polygamy. Its all or none. Brad Pitt could do that if he wanted, and if we were polygamous in general, the gals would not have it any other way. Male lions either have no sex or short careers with lots of it until they get disemboweled by the next black maned bad boy.
In monogamy, women settle for dedicated lessor men. Many men miss that little detail when they start assuming they should have a harem.

Women who are 6'0 and over are not sexy to me.

But I AM a top male!

...at least, that's what the people at lietome.com all said!

Hi Ameiko,

I am no giant myself at 5 10" but one cannot really decide what they find attractive. That is a logical comparison when restricting it to a matter of taste. As for the ability to rectify the situation, that is something else.

Ehh whiel i agree i thinks social conditoning can play a small role in things like height..Yes women prefer it but hearing things like tall dark and handsome and short fat and bald puts stigma on short guys..

I just read the article: mostly just girl stuff...boring....

But it made me laugh. I settled for....GRABBED the first one that showed an interest. Worked out great. I say a prayer of thanks for being steered in his direction, every morning.

When I first saw him...we were both seventeen-year-old College freshmen...both dirt poor, butt-ugly...there on scholarships and assistance, at a fourth-rate college. We were in 'Weightlifting 101', or somesuch. I was thinking "He's as pitiful as I am". He was thinking the same thing about me.

Within a few class sessions, and a few conversations, it became clear to each of us that we both saw ourselves as blank slates, there at college to become as much as we could be. We went together to whatever free things the college was offering...Biofeedback training being done by psych grads...modern dance workshops... first thing that resembled a date, he got me...after that, we did it with the frequency seventeen-year-old former virgins can be expected to. We married at Christmas...first baby that summer...

And slowly, we grew less pitiful. We stayed with the weight lifting. We got into health food, which did much to compensate for our childhood malnutrition. We proved to be excellent students, and excellent workers at our off-campus jobs. I found a source (now long gone) for Saks Fifth Avenue clothes, marked-down, out-of-stock, to nearly-nothing. So, we went from used K-mart rags, from Salvation Army, to shopworn Armani from Saks. And, still struggling, we started estate-building.

It was a struggle: three kids...starting tiny businesses...working for tyrants... living in slums while in grad school...moments when we were rolling pennies to buy food or make the mortgage on our first home/first rental property... a four-plex in a slum. But you can do those things when somebody's got your back. You can make it through all that, if you've got somebody strong and dependable.

So we worked as a team, and have gotten pretty far in life. Now, people call me an 'elitist', and have no Idea I grew up scrounging for food, living in a shack without running water. And he filled-out really well, after a year or so of lifting. At forty-four, his suits still have a fourteen-inch drop, from jacket to trousers. I try to remember the kid in the ragged T-shirt, hunched-over with bad posture, bad acne, ringworm-scarred scalp... But not a trace remains.

What I'm saying is that when we choose a mate, we're lucky if we can find a true partner in life. Romantic thrills and fairytale princes are maybe not so important.
