Study Finds Women DO Prefer Taller Guys to Feel Safe and Protected

blazingblue16 · 2014-02-12T21:28:02+00:00

As a short guy... WE FUCKING KNOW. Every day we wake up and look around, we know we're short and it's a disadvantage. It's been like that since elementary or it's been like that since puberty.

I'm still going to try and make the most money I can. I'm still going to dress as nice as I can. I'm still going to practice stoicism, deep voice and amused mastery. I'm still going to lift like a spartan.

I'm going to stand as tall as I can and not take shit from people.

I'm not going to roll over and die just because you mofos get laid more often; I accepted the fact that I'm short a long time ago.

I also don't care to compare my height or notch counts with other people because it is not relevant to my well being.

My first two thoughts:

What a surprise...
When men don't like fat women it's a tragedy, when women don't like short men nobody gives a single fuck.

Fuck off, mate. There's nothing we short men can do about our height. We'll just have to Vegeta it.

That means being angry all the time, and holding frame like badassmotherfucker.

Fuck kakarot.

No surprise there. That's been anecdotally true for a long time. I may not be tall, but damn am I glad I'm not short. I really respect short guys that can run successful game, it's got to be hard mode.

I'm only 5'6-5'7 and I've had to live with being just about the shortest male my entire life - as a toddler to adulthood. Every short guy is constantly aware and reminded of the implications of being short. How I would describe it, is it's kinda like being looked upon as a fat-ass, but there is no amount of work you can put in to change it. So eventually you just learn to live with it, and accept that in every woman's mind they will always see it as a major deficiency in you (status, protection, attractiveness, etc).

At this point in my life it doesn't really bother me as much. I wish I was taller and I wish I had a bigger dick, but I know nothing will change that. I recognize that I have a nice body and an attractive face, and I use it to the best of my abilities. I've fucked a lot more attractive women than the majority of tall guys I know, so in my mind I just remind myself that despite the lack of height, I'm doing pretty well for myself...and there are a lot of tall guys who despite their advantage, are so lame they still can't get laid, so that also gives me some encouragement.

"Wow, he's tall!" - bonus

"He's taller than I am" - neutral

"He's as tall as I am" - penalty

"He's shorter than I am." - heavy penalty

Women make the judgement using relative measurements. They are not equipped with measuring sticks, so take any claim about size or height with that in mind.

My friend is a 6'4" 194 pound top heavy broad shoulder bold jaw line deep voice Asian male among his group of ~5'9" male close friends. There is a stark difference in terms of masculinity judged by sole first impressions. Ever since he started working out 3 years ago, and start dressing very nice, he just completely fucking stands out among everyone. Paired with his height, it's like the 1% amongst the bottom 20% when we are all together.

Started paying attention towards the passing girls when we're on the streets, and I would constantly see quick glances of mostly Asian girls at my friend. He's about a foot taller than the average Asian girl, and I can tell by so many of their faces that they would fuck him in an instant. Looking up at his manliness amongst the short chumps around him. Makes girls want him ever so much more.

So fucking jealous of him, but what can I do...

A previous LTR I had was with a 6 ft blonde. When she ditched my beta-bitch-ass she was pretty unhappy about re-entering the dating pool and having fewer men to date simply because of height. She wasn't attracted to shorter men... but to be fair, men don't find women taller than them as attractive either. (at least I don't)

There are multiple ways to look at this, but I prefer to think of tall chicks as easier to game: * less men hitting on them either out of lack of desire or intimidation * resulting in less SMV inflation

chinteresting · 2014-02-13T13:40:52+00:00

I still think women in general have a tendency to lie on anonymous surveys, and that the percentage that prefer a taller male is even higher... 49%?!?! PSHHH. Real world experience on my part makes me doubt that stat.

Being short just means I have to make up for it in other ways. I lift like crazy and I'm slowly becoming a fucking psycho. So there's that. Works better than being the short skinny shy kid I used to be.

But it is still possible. See: Tyrion Lannister.

As I, being of average height (185cm, but Eastern/Northern Europe) view this as a limit on the supply of girls you can get. Short guys have even larger limit, but to women that are shorter than you it's not a big deal. Just target women below, or at worst at your height, and you won't feel disadvantage. Essentially low height adds most difficulty to preselection, not actual game once she is comfortable with how tall you are.

As a manmore, no shit Sherlock.

Even as a fat manmore, no shit Sherlock.

youngbulker · 2014-02-13T08:14:01+00:00

as a tall guy... this is complete horseshit.. height != fighting skill. Even a 6'5" bodybuilder at 260lbs 6% bf does not = fighting skill. women are fucking retarded, and so are people who think height = security... dumb cunts

mordanus · 2014-02-12T22:30:17+00:00

Who cares? If your short and not getting laid, get better game. Stop reinforcing your excuses by posting articles that help your rationalizations.

6'5" bitches :-D
