    Because maybe that's just what some women are into. I don't like tall women. Small girls are more fun (and I don't mean kids)


    Being 6'3" myself I love tall women. They're not exactly easy to find but.

    Penisflutepipe would be more acceptable.

    I remember when I was in school one guy referred to "the purple-headed warrior"...

    On topic: height is probably an evolutionary signal for a good genetic profile - for most of human history, being tall has meant you're healthy and physically strong, and therefore a good bet for producing offspring with.

    Rubbish, it means you'll be the first one to get a slap in a row.

    What's considered tall nowadays anyway? It seems like 6ft (which I am) doesn't cut it anymore and is more or less average to most guys I know.

    It seems like 6ft is the new 5'10 and 6'2 is the new 6ft.

    Personally I prefer women who are around the same height as me. If I'm with a girl who is a lot shorter than me, I need to constantly bend down for a bit of the auld snogging. It can be hard on the back.

    Here here. Now at 6ft I'm biased but short men act and look ridiculous!
    Also I'm sure ladies are thinking to the future because middle aged men look like walking barrels when they gain a bit of weight.

    I'm 5'10'' and wouldn't look twice at any man shorter than me. SHallow? Maybe...but it would look ridiculous.

    Also find tall men more attractive, like the thoughts of them being stronger and more powerful. Throw me around a bit.

    you're too honest for after hours!

    you're supposed to say it's not height and you'd give a 5'5" man a chance if he was nice and all that bullsh1t!

    I'm 5'2". I prefer bigger men, regardless of what height they are. Not elephants, but not little skinny fellas either. My Dad is my height, and my template for all things that are perfect about men, so height doesn't really matter to me I guess.

    It all depends on the man though. I can easily get to know someone who looks nothing like 'my type' and find myself fancying the socks off their little weeny ass.

    Oh right, see my post above, that'll conform more with your expectations :D.

    Did you read the Wiki article? Most of it suggests it's all myth, and not only that but based on a myth (Napoleon was taller than average).

    I'm small, but as far as I'm aware, I don't overcompensate for anything. I've gone out with taller girls, but would prefer smaller girls. I guess it's a societal thing: people do sometimes look at you funny if you're with someone taller than yourself. Each to their own, though.

    I've noticed a lot of tall women have just as much trouble finding a partner as some of the short men. I know a very good looking woman who's close to 6 foot and finds it very difficult to find a man. If you're very tall and want a man who is taller, then you don't have as many options as a short woman.

    I know there are a lot of men who like smaller women but I've had my fair share still come on to me. Obviously if they don't like taller women then they won't.

    Everyone has their preferences.

    I don't necessarily like 'tall' men as a prerequisite; depends on your definition of tall? I'm 5'10' and tend to go for guys around my own height. I think it's because I'm drawn to their actual size as opposed to height, i.e. a guy who's 6'4' usually has a skinnier, kind of lanky build, and I like a more well built guy. I'd definitely go for the guy who was 5'10' but heavier than me, than the guy who was 5 inches taller and weighed less than me! Maybe that draws in on the same kind of subconscious 'protective' vibe you're looking at?

    How many threads about penis size are started in proportion by men compared to women? I bet 10 to 1?

    Do women refuse to date on the basis of penis size alone? I very much doubt it.

    A lot of women have complained that men too big are a turn off.

    Penis size doesn't really bother me, though less than 6'' would be a let down! No such thing as too big though...

    Well that's true. It doesn't matter how big it is, if you're not attracted to the guy attatched to it, you're not going to go near it no matter what the size.


    But then again that's what the average guys tell themselves for reassurance:p

    A guy and a girl are getting it on.
    Suddenly the guy pulls out a 2" dick.
    The girl looks dumb founded and says "Who the fcuk do you think you are going to please with that yoke?"
    The guy replies "Myself"

    True story, so a mate tells me.

    Haha very good. Or the woman who says she's too tired for sex, to which the man replies, "Who asked you to move?"

    But would it be a deal breaker?

    Now bare in mind I'm not in that boat. But just can't believe women are that shallow.

    I was that idiot who was threatening suicide on the "virginity/dealbreaker" because I still am one and it was closed (I apologise for that), now admittedly I have problems socialising and it bothered me for a while how much of a freak I was and have harpening on about it too much recently on these forums. But its the crux of some of my depression. (I don't look weird just act a bit weird).

    Now I have penis size potentially bigger than some men, apparantly according to the statistics, (I'm 14cm-15cm floppy or something) its a suprising statistic on my behalf if true, but I don't believe I'm big and hasn't help feel any less depressed and moping about with suicidal thoughts in the previous weeks recently. So like I say if penis size was the be all and end all my life would be a better! But its not, and it shouldn't be either. Its a stupid concept and a bit of a shallow one.

    Sorry you're feeling this way. No its definitely not a deal breaker, not at all. It would just be a bit disappointing if I'm honest, but that's it. The initial disappointment would soon be forgotten. Size doesn't really matter, but its just a plus!
