Girls, would you date a man smaller than you?

Are you in your 20s because women get heavier with age.

Some are in their 20s, some are in their 30s, some of them 40s, and some 50s!

There are a greater number in their 20s I suppose on reflection, but out of those in their 40s/50s, none are a 14.

She's a perfect 10, but she wears a 12.

Baby keep a little 2 for me.

I can't tell these things. I can tell you that one person is bigger than another if they're both in the room and near each other. I can also tell if someone is smaller or bigger than I am, but seeing as I can't remember my own height, weight or waist size it's not the most useful comparison.

this is it. we dont as people have tape to measure people with. we just see someone and make instantaneous decisions as to whether they are attractive or not. so when a man looks at a woman who is obese he instinctively says no or when a woman who looks at a really small guy, she instinctively says no.

but then again they could go on a date and win each other over through other means.

'Cause we live our life in different sizes
I love her body, especially the lines
Time takes it's toll but not on the eyes
Promise me this, take me tonight

Yes but there still needs to be an initial attraction.

So even someone a small size 12 can't get laid? Stupid comment. 14-16 is an average size for women and I was specifically told that by a modelling agency. The guys on here haven't a clue about women with statements like this.

All that means is that the average Irish woman is overweight (unless you're pretty tall, you'll be overweight at a 14/16).

It doesn't mean it's a normal, healthy size. Just like the average size in the UK is a 16. It doesn't mean it's attractive or healthy. It means women are, on average, too heavy.

OT but for ages I thought the third line was "Tom thinks it's tome, but not on the ices"...that doesn't even make sense!

I'm tall and I'd be 12/14, still overweight. It really depends.

I thought the second verse was "When he's at my gate with a big fat plate, you wanna see the smile on my face." I just assumed he had a big plate of dinner for her.

'roid being an abbrevation for steroid - that poster either thought you meant RDJ is pumped full of roids when you called him a roide, or was joking.

Aye, but I think eternal's point was that plenty of women well over size 10 are in relationships - in response to the nonsense that women over size 10 don't get a look-in in the dating stakes.

Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back

It just means "I don't care if he's a male version of me, personality-wise".

scrimshanker · 17-07-2015 01:38AM

I dated two guys who were smaller than me. I'm only 5'6 so not even especially tall, but it did make me very conscious of my height and I couldn't enjoy wearing high heels.

The girl in the OP is actually tall so possibly already a bit self conscious about her height. Someone smaller than her isn't going to make her feel good about her height so it's probably not going to work out anyway...

kylith · 17-07-2015 09:12AM

I've dated a guy the same height as me (5'6"), and been on a date with a guy shorter. Doesn't bother me. Why would I write off someone cute, funny, and interesting just because he can't reach stuff on the top shelf?

Ah, so you're purposely pretending to be confused. In line with the thread, if there was a guy shorter than me and a guy like this to choose from, the shorter guy has the upper hand.

(In case this causes confusion, this means that I don't like people who have some form of superiority complex, no matter their height.)

Good point. No women whatsoever who are size 12 and 14 have ever gotten a man at those sizes.

And it is only ever the woman that ages, gains weight etc. once in a relationship.

I think somebody is far too hung up on a one-line internet post that they didn't understand.

chanelfreak · 17-07-2015 11:28AM

Im 5ft 8" and the other half is about 5ft 9" ish , so I am vay much taller than him when I wear my heels (which is pretty much all the time). He LOVES it, thinks its really shexy and the fact that I was looming over him when we met never put me off either. Little ride so he is

Steppenwolfe · 17-07-2015 11:39AM

Man is talking to a relationsip counseller regarding his new girlfriend.

Man: I've started dating a new girl and have some doubts.

Counseller: What's the problem?

Man: Well....I'm 5' 4 and she's 6' 2...how do you think I will get on?

Counseller: You will get on alright...but you will have no one to talk to.

Think about it

steddyeddy · 17-07-2015 11:45AM

My wife asked me to get her something that went from 0-60 in 5 seconds so I got her a bathroom scales.

Red21 · 17-07-2015 12:06PM

From about 4 years of age on, women are conditioned about the importance of appearance-none of them escape this conditioning its all pervasive- you either look like this or you're worthless- when women grow up their forced to do some crazy **** like wear these shoes that keep them 5 inches off the ground if you take a step back from that, for a moment you realize just how insane this is, just because everyone does it, doesn't make it any less insane.

Women want to be free to wear these shoes, without how ridiculous it is being even further highlighted by towering over their partner. The pressure to look a certain way is so great they'd jeopardise their own happiness just to tick box that box.

Fat Christy · 17-07-2015 12:10PM

I love how high heels make me look.

Granted, I can only wear them for about 5 minutes. I always carry a pair of flats when I go out. The heels are just for show.

Yeah i think you're right.
Its just the whole lack of care that goes into internet communication nowadays.
Text speak, failure to correct typos, bad grammar, bad punctuation, poor comprehension are a few examples.
I will endevour to keep scrolling in future.

Well I was a size 18 when my current relationship started a few years ago. He was (and still is), tall, muscular and a total gym bunny.

Now, I'm a size 14 and still losing weight and he's already told me more times than I can count that he thinks I'm the sexiest and most beautiful woman he's been with, regardless of my size. He loves me how I am, but is very happy to support me in reaching my weight loss targets.

So yeah, bigger women can get nice men.

Girls, would you date a man smaller than you?
