    No one was talking “Metal”, D. We were talking about GnR “wannabe” bands.

    It actually isn't, it's a medium height. Under 5'8" is generally viewed as short, above 5'10" is tall. A 5'9" guy in a group of men isn't going to look short, but a 5'6" or 5'7" guy will.



    That's pretty standard, even if you look at clothes sizes and just generally really.

    Ah my good friend Emmet, there was a guy listing off metal bands.. Not correct spelling but he was just playing with words. Nonetheless they were all metal.

    A 5'9" guy among a group of 6'+ stands out... As short

    Sorry, but if you think it's ok to openly discriminate against other types of men through posts like this, then would you also think it is ok for a man to open a thread like 'where are all the women under size 10?'.

    Size 10 body - your weight can change.
    Height - Does not change after a certain height.
    Upset short men please get off the thread thats not what its for.

    "Where are all the tall guys" is in the same category as "where are the all the good guys?". It's more "where are all the guys I fancy?", because really being attracted to someone depends on a combination of factors and not a made-up checklist.



    There are plenty of girls who put height requirements on their dating profiles though not because they aren't interested in men of average height or even on the short side, but because so many guys overstate their height and then it's a disappointment when they meet up! Mainly because they've been mislead...


    But it's all just made-up until you meet someone you do fancy...a friend of mine told me years ago that she only went for really tall guys, until she met her now husband who is around my height (5'8" - 5'9")!

    Haha, DisneyLover, I'm exactly the same height as you and often wonder what a lonely girl I'd be if I wasn't married judging by the horrified looks I get from guys here because of my height. Ok, so maybe you're not all horrified but the general impression I get is that I'm "too tall". I'm from a Nordic country so when I go back home, I'm usually not even that tall there. My husband is 6'3".

    I know it sounds silly but I've sometimes wished I had tall friends. I know height doesn't matter but sometimes it would be nice to talk about things that you encounter as a tall woman. And get tips on where to find clothes hahah!

    Love to see there are people here who like metal and rock! For the longest time I thought there were basically none here in Ireland but I am glad I was wrong. Good luck with the manhunt, DisneyLover!

    I don‘t think the Irish men are particularly shorter than the EU average and I see men above 6ft all the time. Although some of them could also be N/E European origin...

    I don’t doubt that taller guys are quite popular with women in general and therefore often taken.

    I also have observed that a few men would be a bit intimidated by tall women and opt for shorter girls.
    However, the tall girls I know didn’t have a problem with finding the right guy in the end!

    And your are only 27 - you still have plenty of time to find your extra- tall Mr. Right!

    Imo threads on Boards (esp in AH) often result in frank, sarcastic and controversial replies.
    It really can be a minefield sometimes.
    However, threats of any kind should result in an immediate ban! That’s unacceptable!
    Mentioning some „physical attributes“ in posts also brings out the creeps unfortunately.

    I‘d recommend to take a lot of the replies on here with a grain of salt ... don‘t take it too personal!

    Some of the replies are actually quite witty and made me laugh. So, kudos to some of the posters!
