    I know plenty of tall guys in Ireland. I have a good few friends ranging from 6'0 to 6'4 so no idea where you've been looking OP?

    But yes I do agree that it can be difficult for tall girls to find taller guys, well guys who are tall enough to the tall girls to wear high heels.

    Cause she's only one sticking up for obviously?????????

    And what makes you think I meant you were one of them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 681 ✭✭✭TheDenialTwist


    Does anyone else getting the feeling that one person is behind 2 accounts on this thread?

    Oh here we go, a conspiracy theorist. Yawn.

    FFS this is ridiculous.

    Some posters here obviously did not see the vile posts up here earlier.

    Guy thinks putting up a video of a small woman is going to offend me? No, I was more offended that you put up a video of 'Friends'...a lame excuse for a sitcom

    And no that's not vile, that's just petty.

    Earlier posts were absolutely full of hate and vitriol.

    Anyway, we shall continue our search for the tall guys.

    Kilkenny still on top, thus far.

    The tickets to the sock puppet show were gratis.

    Well, you'd struggle to sell them in fairness.

    I don't think there is anyone on this thread that has a problem wearing heals. So it's not that.

    What about transsexual guys though, it must be a nightmare for them.

    Thanks denial I just think theyre sad lol

    Nothing quite like short insecure men is there


  • Registered Users Posts: 681 ✭✭✭TheDenialTwist


    This thread has essentially been hijacked by short men, ignorant people, bullies and tyrants. So, could you all move onto another thread please, unless you have anything valid or pertinent to say in relation to this small but interesting survey regarding TALL GUYS IN IRELAND.

    So, for the sake of the OP and her thread and my quest to assist her, the following are the top Counties in Ireland with tall men that we compiled from our very limited study. In addition, the study itself was contaminated with some useless input from guys not even in the 'Tall Category'

    KILKENNY
    CORK
    KERRY
    LIMERICK
    DUBLIN

    Although, I don't know how statically valid DUBLIN is as we had only one tall guy there.

    Well, the most infuriating thing for me right now is they have hijacked the thread and tried to sabotage our quest to find the tall guys of Ireland.

    Thanks to the tall guys who actually did contribute. Much kudos to you.

    Let the search continue. Kilkenny still on top, but I'm sure we'll here from plenty of other tall guys going forward.

    Wow, what a profound retort and totally unrelated.

    Yes, a SHORTcoming indeed and I'm surprised you didn't add in a 'lol' for extra comedic effect.

    If you're not going to contribute why are you on here?

    The "statistics" reported here are self proclaimed heights and anecdotal accounts. I think we need to apply a margin of error here of +/- 20%.

    I once saw a tall man shopping in B&Q. That suggests that tall men shop there, maybe start there? The lamps and the MDF displays really seemed to pique his interest.

    I'm 7'9 and reared up outside a barn in Roosky. It didn't buckle, but the Azerbaijan basketball team saw the audition tape and sent a telegram of congratulations.

    Of tall guys, a third might be unemployed (80% now), a third might be lanky, a third might be facially unattractive, a third might be overweight etc. When these are excluded there might be only 5% or so of actual tall, attractive guys in the population. This is why there is a perceived scarcity, there’s plenty of average tall guys around.

    When girls see 6’ 2” on paper, they instantly picture an athletic, confident business manager. They don’t picture a lanky, nerdy, socially awkward guy of which will be far more common.

    Another reason you might struggle to get a tall guy is because these guys have a preference for smaller women to make them feel more masculine and dominant. It’s quite superficial and illogical but no more so than “He has to be bigger than me in heels for pictures”. If you judge guys superficially expect the same in return.

    I'm well versed in statistical analysis and obviously this is anecdotal FFS. We're on Boards!!!

    The OP started her own thread, which she is fully entitled to do so and I also share a genuine interest into where the tall guys in Ireland are.

    However, I think it's quite evident that this is not a sound and robust demographic analysis, just a lighthearted thread about where are the tall guys in Ireland.

    So, once again, why are you on this thread at all?

    If you are a tall guy, would you please let me know for the purposes of this study where you are located?

    Oh yes, I just spotted your height and location just now. I'm a little SHORTsighted.

    7'9" and you're not in the NBA? Well what a letdown that is.

    Would have loved to have met someone like le Bron on here... *swoon*

    Oh, that might skew the results further. No wonder the LOL doll can't find a tall man.

    Objects further away appear smaller not bigger/taller.


  • Registered Users Posts: 681 ✭✭✭TheDenialTwist

    Seriously?

    Actually no, objects that are visibly further away appear smaller not vice versa.

    Why are you referring to the OP as the LOL doll?

    That's just petty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 681 ✭✭✭TheDenialTwist


    Can't believe someone just asked was he taller or just further away.

    So, two posters on this thread concurred with one another that objects that are further away appear bigger/taller.

    This could explain a lot actually!

    Yes, absolutely hilarious indeed.

    What height are you Leg End?

    After all, the whole point of the OP thread is to find out where the tall guys are.

    Anyone complaining about people who don’t want to date them or what other people do or don’t find attractive, always remind me of this clown complaining about “discrimination” :rolleyes:
