Ladies: Why is Height Such a Big Deal?

This is something I've been wondering lately. Virtually every woman says they want a tall guy as one of their primary qualities in a man. While I understand the biological reason for this (pretend it's 15,000 BC and you eed to be with the biggest guy to survive), I don't get why so many women seem to be so fixated on this.

You've probably guessed that I'm short. Yes, I am. I am 5'8". I used to claim 5'9" because I didn't know any better, but I'm 5'8" and 1/4. Now, I understand completely if a woman who is 5'9" turns me down. It would look kinda ridiculous in public, and I guess that's why they turn me down, but I had a girl who was 5'1" turn me down once because I wasn't tall enough. I actually laughed when she said that, and walked away.

The weird thing is, I don't feel short. I recognize the fact that I am short, but I've never felt that way. Whenever I say that, there's always a guy around that says, "Well, you are," as if to try to make me feel bad or something.

Does the lack of height on a man make him ugly to women? I simply can't date an overweight woman. I'm simply not attracted to it. That's my only superficial need. On the other hand, does being short make a guy ugly, even if he is actually considered handsome or hot by society? Snooki from Jersey Shore is laughably short (I'd guess 4'10"). She's also fat and ugly, so I'm not attracted to her, but if she were a really pretty girl, I'd have no problems dating her. Her lack of attractiveness has nothing to do with her height, she's just ugly.

A lot of women I know say their minimum height requirement is 5'10". My best friend is 5'10", and in pictures you can hardly tell a height difference between us, but somehow he's magically propelled to man status while I remain in the little boy faggot status. Is the underlying feeling that if, on the off-chance we were to get married, that our children would be genetically inferior puss kids? My dad is 5'6", so I got lucky.
 
My first love was on the short side. Dont get me wrong, a tall guy is nice, it can make a guy with an average face/body seem more attractive at first. As long as he was taller than me, which is easy. I'm 5'6
 
Im with cindy on this...hes gotta be my height or taller...a little taller is nice for me wearing heels

Im 5' 8" soooo...make of that what you will


my first husband was 5' 6", his height never bothered me
 
It's an evolutionary thing. Women are drawn to men they think will give them the best offspring.

The funny thing is, being the biggest and strongest shouldn't mean much in today's society (unless you're a professional athlete or manual labor), but undoing mother nature takes a reaaaaally long time.

too bad I can't walk around with my cawk exposed

any other dimensions would becum moot

just sayin'
 
This is like asking a guy why waist hip ratio is important. We are genetically programed to like certain things in a mate and see certain genetic traits as signs of a desirable partner for whatever reason. For men, they are attracted to traits that signal youth to their brains (example: long hair), vitality, fertility. Women are drawn to traits that tell our subconscious that a man is strong, fertile, capable of protection, etc.

You answered your own question when you said it mattered thousands of years ago. All that stuff that mattered then matters now even though it doesnt have to

We just don't evolve that quickly. I'm sure in another 5,000 or 10,000 or 50,000 years it probably won't be an issue.
 
Hitler was pissed because he was only 5'8.

My dad is 68 years old. I'm 24. He's told me that most guys around him when he was my age were all his height, and that very few men were over 6'. WTF happened between then and now? Most of my friends are 6'1" and up. I only know a few guys who are 5'7" or shorter, but he says it was very common in the early 60s.

short women need tall guys even more so their kids aren't fukked
 
Also, I feel bad for this guy:

Some cases are more extreme than others. Before Akash Shukla had his surgery, he was four feet eleven and a half—not technically a dwarf but short enough to be mistaken for one. “People used to make a lot of jokes,” Shukla says. “I could never ask anyone out.” A 21-year-old engineering student from New Jersey, he took a year off from college to have CLL with Dr. Rozbruch. Six months and $200,000 later (that total includes expenses like equipment and physical therapy), he emerged standing five feet two. Though he says the surgery was “more painful than giving birth to seven children,” Shukla believes that the two and a half inches it gave him changed his life. “I have a new social confidence,” he says. He’s been approached by a number of men with questions about CLL—including a guy who was five feet eight. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, you’re actually considering cutting your bones in half to be five foot ten?’” Shukla says. “I’d give anything to be five foot eight.”

I never understood the quest for size or height by all people till lately

its the "big car principle" people just want it to feel better about themselves

I am 6'2-6'3 depending if Im in shape or not.

I never cared about it, but others seem too
 
Yeah, you've never cared about it because you're well above average height. Try going through every day being ridiculed for something out of your control and see if you change your mind about that.

lol, I love this. Yea and rich people dont ever get why poor people wished they had more money. If youre tall you dont know what its like being short and the shittiness that comes with it, if youre a bor. I guarantee if you woke up tomorrow at 5'7" and stayed that way for a year, you would be much more thankful the day you turned 6'2" again.

bullshit.

Here's the real deal:

When you're inactive you feel less confident and you slouch and slump your shoulders. When you're working out and getting/staying in shape, you feel good, proud, you walk tall, stand up straight, etc.

That's the only cause for this. WTF you think you lose and gain a vertebrae or something? If you're getting shorter you might want to look into some Boniva there, Sally Field!

security...in whatever form, is critical for women from a hard wiring perspective
 
I don't actually know any sane women that give a shit about height (providing you aren't a midget) as an "essential" criteria.

Then again I don't date American women.

5'8 isn't bad.anything under that is short

5'9 is the average height anyways. When girls throw out height requirements, they're usually not going aroudn with a ruler sizing you up. It's just a general preference they have. not a big difference. My brother and dad are 5'11, i got kinda screwed at a shade under 5'9. And for the msot part, i've dated girls at least 5'8 and over. it doesn't really make a difference at the end of the day provided you have compensating factors

american girls are more picky about this than most. you don't see this in latin america or asia because people are shorter. Europeans are tall also but i doubt it's as big a deal there as it is here for some.


but there are studies that have been done that show height and income can have some type of correlation
 
I think as long as the guy is taller than me. otherwise i feel big and ungainly. I'm 5'9", and have dated a guy the same height as me, which was not tall enough for my taste. I would venture to say that girls like to feel small and delicate in comparison to the big, strong guy.
 
Go browse any american dating site and you wont have to look long before you see the height requirements in the chicks profiles.
