Lol, why would you want to be something other than friends with half of the population of the world? Unlike males women are satisfied with just one partner.
[–]Fatt3stAveng3rFDS Apprentice15 points16 points17 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That was my first thought too! LOL
[–]Summerisle7FDS STRATEGY COACH20 points21 points22 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Right?? I think being open to "friendship" with half the men in the world, is being pretty damn friendly! I certainly don't want 3 billion "friends."

Lol, exactly
[–]Hipster-AuroraFDS Newbie54 points55 points56 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
But some men won't even acknowledge the existence of women they're not attracted to, much less befriend them.
[–]Unable_CaterpillarFDS Disciple28 points29 points30 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women offer men supportive friendships and men act like it’s an affront to them because she won’t tickle his pee pee. Imagine being that entitled and shallow. I can’t.

I prefer shorter guys because I like kissing someone my own height but NEVER am I ever gonna tell a woman to have my standards or that they're wrong for having whatever height requirements they want. Some of y'all are missing the point! Keep your standards high, don't feel ashamed for having them. You owe nobody anything and men who insult you because of your standards are not worth your time.
[–]miwamusFDS Newbie20 points21 points22 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I personally disagree with her but finding a short guy that is confident with his height is difficult and a lot of these guys are the same guys that will only date fit women when they're not fit themselves.
Her wants are her wants. Men, hush!

Wow this topic has touched a nerve on FDS!! Lots of hand-wringing and White Knighting in the comments for the poor lonely short men.
[–][deleted] 18 points19 points20 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Girl I know lol. Men reject women that aren’t an hourglass or pear shape, don’t have nice perky titties and a nice ass, don’t have long hair, or don’t look like young baddies all the time. Yet a woman wanting a man that’s above 5’11 is “too far” and “not understandable” EVEN ON HERE. The societal pick-me programming jumped out.

Men do that all the time. I don't agree with either of them, but people are entitled to have preferences.
Some girls want tall guys, some guys want big boobs. Meh.
[–]degnan1214FDS Newbie16 points17 points18 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Men do that all the time.
And if anyone were to suggest they shouldn't, they'd scream bloody murder. But when the tables are turned, it's suddenly "shallow" to decide not to date someone based on their looks.
[–]ErikaNaumannFDS Newbie10 points11 points12 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yup. How many OLD men profiles have "no fatties?", "Only C cups and +", "I like my women curvy".
A lot.

Then you can date the shorties and have short children. 😂
I'm not sure why you think women have to be "nice" in dating by not being allowed to have preferences. We aren't equal opportunity community pussy. We are allowed to be as picky as we want when picking our one partner out of billions of men.
[–]ShaakieFDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"We aren't equal opportunity community pussy"
What a fucking slayer. Why so many men think we HAVE to give them opportunities?
[–]yggiwtmiihFDS Newbie25 points26 points27 points 6 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
We all only live once. If physicality is important to someone, then they should be entitled to that. Height doesn't matter to me but there are aspects in a personality I expect, like someone who is as ambitious in life as I am and who has my sense of humor.
We're all entitled to our standards as long as we're willing to put out into the world what we're asking for.
[–]VioletRomanticFDS Newbie64 points65 points66 points 6 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I tend to avoid getting involved with shorter men because I do not have the time, energy, or desire to deal with their height insecurity. There are so many men out there who just can't shut up about how women reject them because they're too short, and how it's all our fault. Typical male bullshit where, in order to validate themselves, they blame a woman for something lots of us don't actually care that much about.
I have a friend who is the same height as her husband, and it makes me see red whenever they go out somewhere fancy because he never wants her to wear heels. She has so many gorgeous pairs of heels shes not allowed to wear, because he is insecure about his height. When we get ready for things together I always encourage her to wear them and make sure to build her the fuck up about how she is a beautiful, statuesque, Amazonian Queen. Because she is.

"You're just as bad as men for not dating anyone who wants to date you with no preferences! How dare you be so shallow."
I only date men I'm interested in fucking. Does that mean I'm shallow?
[–]VioletRomanticFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It just kills me that they tried to call me out on being shallow for that. I have zero problem with men's height. I am 5'3", almost everyone is taller than me. 🤣 What I am not attracted to is the attitude that short men seem to have about it. Every one I've entertained expected me to constantly reassure him about it, and were often very aggressive as a way to make up for what they perceived as weakness due to size. I don't get involved with insecure and potentially aggressive men anymore. I value my safety and sanity too much.
[–]radical__daphneRuthless Strategist4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes.
And for me personally, I've decided height is important. I don't really want to date someone under 5'10. Especially if I was looking for someone to start a family with. I'm not going to do my children like that! Just like I will only reproduce with an at least moderately attractive man.
[–]FDSxMuffinVSratFDS Newbie15 points16 points17 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
if you don't find a guy attractive, why would you date him
can we really tell the difference between someone 5"11 and 6 foot? Probably not. I don't get that either. But I obviously understand the attraction to height - I want a guy significantly taller than me without being freakishly tall. I just imagine other women care a little bit more than I do, and I think that's totally valid.
There are practical concerns with makes men's height. If you're tall as a woman, you probably want a really tall guy. Short men can have a complex about their height and IMO insecurity is one of the drivers for cheating and dissatisfaction.
I won't shame men for being short but I don't pretend I find them attractive.
[–]PicklesNBaconPickmeisha™️5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Right - having a guy that is at least a little bit taller than you makes sense, but a lot of women who want to date guys 5’11 or above are like 5’1...i’m 5’1 and will date 5’5 or above...more for me I guess
[–]MissKinkykittykatFDS Newbie9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I have dated men between 5'6 - 6'3.
The short men would bring up their height at every opportunity in cries of insecurity. They would also belittle my height constantly - calling me midget, dwarf, or insist long legs are the sexiest (I'm 5'2 - no long legs here). They would flat out struggle to pick me up despite me being barely over 100lbs...
While dating extremely tall men has it's physical downfalls, they don't insult my height or have crippling insecurity. They're also the main ones that actually approach me.
[–]FDSxMuffinVSratFDS Newbie11 points12 points13 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dating isn't symmetrical and preferences aren't fair. Your standards don't have to be other women's standards.
I'm 5"1 and have only dated men over 6 feet... Not because I filtered them out on OLD but because they were confident enough to ask and I found them hot. I probably would date below 5"8 or so unless the guy was super attractive in don't other way like being really built.
[–]devoushkaFDS Newbie13 points14 points15 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I like what I like. Try as I might, I don't see guys below 5'10 as potential partners. I need to be able to tilt my head up to look into his eyes, otherwise I feel nothing romantically or physically. It's not logical it's just a preference.
Also there are more than enough tall dudes, it shouldn't be an issue.

How is this relevant to women having their own personal preferences for who they want to date and potentially marry and have children with?
[–]outside-perceptionFDS Newbie14 points15 points16 points 6 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Eh I got told I have low standards on here because height isn't as big of a deal for me as it may be for others but I state that BECAUSE - I REPEAT - I am a 5'11 woman.
I'd either stay single or consider a guy my height or taller. Character comes first for me. Wanting to pick a guy who's my height and high value isn't a low standard. I'll take a guy who's 5'11-6'1 and treats me like royalty over a 6'8 fuckboi who thinks height is his only asset so he strings/manipulates/harms 5+ other women along.
[–]radical__daphneRuthless Strategist14 points15 points16 points 6 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
Just because someone doesn't want to date a guy who's 5'10 or shorter doesn't mean character isn't important to her. We can actually have multiple standards at once!
[–]GenometricPickmeisha™️4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I'm sad to hear you were told you had low standards for something like that! I also am not too big on height in a partner. For me, it's "just don't be shorter than me." "Tall" doesn't equal "sexy" for me, cause i've seen some tall, gangly motherfuckers lol. For me it's more about the body shape/proportion, if i'm strictly looking at physicality.
[–]degnan1214FDS Newbie5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For me, it's "just don't be shorter than me."
Same here, but everyone has their own standards. They're entitled to them. Guys are quite picky and selective with women's appearance, deeming huge swathes of women "invisible" because of their looks, but turn around cry bloody murder when some girls reject them for being short. Cry me a river. Women can never be as superficial and as shallow as most guys when it comes to rejecting for appearance.

[–]OrchidLionFDS Newbie12 points13 points14 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
They started this shallow game first.
If they can do it so can we.
Women are taught not to be shallow and SHAMED for having preferences. We aren't taking that shit anymore.
If they can't take it, too bad for them. Little snowflakes.
That's what they get for spreading the message that small boobs are inferior to big boobs.
[–]Summerisle7FDS STRATEGY COACH2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You don't need to "understand" it. You simply need to accept that people are allowed to have preferences.

You are an fds newbie, not a mod. How would you know?
We're allowed to have our preferences here. End of.
And yet there is a sub rule against shaming other women for their standards.
[–]BasieSkanksRuthless Strategist2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nobody is saying (or should be saying) that taller men are automatically high value. Women just shouldn’t be shamed for having physical preferences. Men usually have a long list of requirements, but they cry foul if a woman wants to date a man that’s taller than her.
[–]PicklesNBaconPickmeisha™️11 points12 points13 points 6 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
I’ve seen so many memes about short men being low value...tall men will also treat you like shit. It’s no different than saying women with small boobs are low value. It’s a double standard and I normally agree with almost everything on FDS.
ETA women would tear a dude apart if he said he wouldn’t date women with less than a [insert cup-size here]
[–]ShaakieFDS Newbie1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sis, have u seen the media and the impossible and unrealistic standards men have for us? So they can be humilliative with their standards but god forbid we talk about height. Why are u even here sis, if you are shaming women who like tall men? I don't understand.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
For me, I am 5'3. My father and mother are both shorter than me. If I got with a short guy, that essentially guarantees that my children will also be short. According to most guys, being short is one of the most terrible things you could be and puts you at a disadvantage in the dating market.

[–]JaneDoeEyedx2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I only date tall men, I'm not dealing with the insecurity about me wearing heels. Every short guy I've dated had a massive Napoleon complex so no thank you.
[–]sadcelloFDS Apprentice1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Get burned.
Men don't and won't understand that women just want a partner. One. Because men are the most hypergamous being in this world.
