    you are being so aggressive, look at your language, id hope thats not the attitude u present to others

    Sometimes people just come across as argumentative and unpleasant, and it's easier to blame their height for negative reactions than it is to take responsibility for how you behave with and around others.

    Back in my early to mid 20's. I had girls on a night out tell me I was disgusting because I had spots. Was mocked because of my height and was constantly being called a 12 year old due to having a bit of a baby face. At one point I was also mocked because I was working in a shop while going to college (Most students didn't work during college back then)

    Then there's also the general f**kery from some. Pushing you out of the way, rolling their eyes at you. I can't count the number of times I've been pushed dismissively out of the way by girls on a night out...even when I wasn't trying to talk to them or even looking at them. There's a lot of arseholes out there...

    It's very hurtful but you just have to get over it. I was friends with a lad that was about 6 foot 6...he got women very easily. He once walked into a nightclub with us...he pulled while we were walking to the bar. The girl just saw him coming due to his height and he stuck out from the crowd. But then he just treated them like dirt so I suppose there's a balance there.

    Whoa, hey! How dare you post this fictional story! Aren't you aware that women are NOT the shallow and superficial ones but only men care about physical attraction? It's the personality that counts. Women can do NO wrong!

    That's funny because I've said I'm personally unaffected by this as I'm tall myself, I just call double standards and hypocrisy out when I witness them

    Every woman who has ever called men shallow for having preferences yet went on to talk about their own preferences themselves. You might be unaware of this but lots of women guilt and shame men for what they're attracted to just because they're too insecure in themselves to deal with it, i.e. the fat acceptance movement where hilarious statements are made such as "REAL MEN love curvy women"

    You need to take a deep breath and get off Facebook. Men shouldn't be ashamed for liking slim women any more than women should be called shallow for preferring tall men.

    You really come across as being resentful and combative, it's not going to help.

    i'm sure the problem with some short blokes is if a girl goes "no thx" - they'd come back with "it's cos of height isn't it"

    This conversation always bores me. I'm a very short bloke but it's never bothered me, it's just not something that registers on the scale of things to be concerned about.

    Having read the thread it seems that alot of people have a problem with rejection and not with their height. If someone makes a bitchy comment towards me, man or woman, I just laugh at them. Don't let them think they've gotten to you and instead just laugh at their stupidity, it drives them nuts.

    The worst you can do is take it to heart and overthink it, and it actually makes me sad that people can be so hard on themselves all because of one fool's snide remark.

    Do you realise that even your username screams insecurity and an inferiority complex? Admittedly that's directed toward those who "don't even lift" but your comments betray an underlying hostility toward women that you clearly are blind to, and judging by your comments are blissfully unaware of, and even wear with a grudging pride. I can't decide which.
    Either way the hypocrisy is quite amusing when viewed from the sidelines.

    I've gone after girls just for their looks in the past too though. So, meh. Although, I have never ever ridiculed a woman to her face like that...I've also never had any male friends do that do women. Maybe guys are going around doing that and I'm unaware. Where as one of the lads I lived with got attacked for his appearance by women...completely unprovoked too. Not talking to them, not looking at them. Not even all that close to where they were.

    Ditto for me. I've had women scream that I look like a 12 year old from across the street at me. I don't look like a 12 year old any more. But when you're not having much luck, that can get you down.

    Those women are utterly horrible. Shame they're used as a stick to beat women in general with though.
    Also, it's laughable to effectively claim no men would say derogatory things about a woman's appearance.
    I do acknowledge it's, broadly, deemed more acceptable from women (which is obviously wrong) but that doesn't mean a "laddish"/"frat boy" type man would never do it. Not fancying fat women is totally fine, but chatting her up for a bet isn't.

    Does that actually happen or is that just in movies and on Urban Dictionary? In all my years, I haven't seen or heard of it happening other than in movies...

    Happily married for 7 years to someone who is 6'4" - you fancy who you fancy. I'm a mere 6'2". My wife has friends in excess of 6' who are very nice but just don't like the idea of dating someone shorter than them.

    Perhaps it's got something to do with people making them feel likes freaks and in some cases implying they are masculine because of their height.

    I've only really experienced this in online dating. A few women have told me out straight on dating sites that I'm too short. It's not very pleasant of course but online dating can be very superficial.

    I've never some across that sort of bluntness in real life, but if I'm been completely honest, I very rarely get rejected. That's not to say I'm a stud by any means, but any conversation I've had with a woman on a night out rarely went beyond the shouting in someone's ear in a noisy club. So the convo doesn't really get to the point where I can get rejected.

    At 5'8" myself, any women I've been with were about the same height or slightly taller. I remember many years ago some girls said they wouldn't go out with me because I was too skinny, (I was very slim in my teens/early 20's, but height has never been an issue outside of online dating.

    I'm 5'7", it's my real height and I see no reason to lie about it but have been told on a first date "wow you're really short" and another time the fact that I'm going bald was mentioned to me as well on a first date.

    Those 2 times wouldn't put me off trying to find someone though, you will always come across the occasional ignorant person.

    But there is no denying the fact that well built guys who are tall and good looking will be the most successful with women.

    They'd actually be rare enough though. Your description reminds me of a rugby player. I mean there are plenty of short guys who are well built and good looking and probably do better than the average/not so attractive tall guys. There are lots of other combinations like tall and slim and so on. I think if a guy is confident and good looking from the neck up he'll generally do ok. I know some attractive models who are dating guys slightly shorter than them, they're certainly not built either, but they'd be good looking from the neck up and are sound guys too.

    I agree, not every tall guy is good looking and I work with a fella who is over 6ft and is very skinny, he has zero success with women.

    Yep, although from what I've heard, women tend to go for the toned look more so than the buff bod. However that may be starting to change with the whole spornosexual thing, but I find its generally the young wans that are influenced by all that shyte.
