Its been my experience that guys may run their mouth about "who they would date" if they fall in the 5-7 range of attractiveness (all things included), they are happy to throw those rules away. Women, I have found, seem to be less inclined to do so.Finally someone acknowledged guys do this shit too.
Maybe nobody says it on Gaf (or at least admits it), but on gamefaqs if a “who would you like to date?” type of topic comes up, plenty of guys draw an extreme “if she’s taller than me, I will not date her!” line. Now, it’s possible (and likely) some/most these are ignorant incels who if an attractive woman who just happened to be taller approached one of them and asked them out, they’d say yes instantly. But regardless, the close-mindedness regarding height is still present in both genders.
But yeah, plenty of people are close-minded about specifics like this (I’m not talking preferences, that’s normal, I mean instant “no” if they just happen to be outside of those preferences). You got those people who refuse to give certain races/ethnicities a chance, a tattoo of any kind anywhere or a piercing anywhere besides the ear is a no, of course height difference as we’ve discussed, the other person isn’t allowed to be smarter and/or have a better job, etc. Again, having a preference(s) is fine, but it just seems shallow to me to instantly rule out everyone who falls into any category. Judge a person by their individuality as a whole, and don’t let one single aspect define them. Sadly, tons of men and women are guilty of doing the latter, and even some lack the tact to not tell someone it’s the reason they’re not interested if asked out (I know I’ve heard that on dating apps that black and Asian guys in particular were shocked how many people openly turned down them by admitting they wouldn’t ever date someone of their race. Black women got hit with this to a degree as well. It’s like, okay, if you’re going to be close-minded about it, whatever, but who the fuck casually tells the other person that’s the reason? Just say you’re not interested and move on, is a little fucking classy behavior so much to ask for?)
Regardless, to all the men and women here who have ever rejected by someone openly admitting it was due to something you have no control over and absolutely refusing to see the other things that make you awesome, stay strong, you’re likely better off without someone who thinks like that. Hang in there, you’ll find someone who is smart enough to appreciate you.
It’s weird to me that this is an issue today. Being 6ft I tower over most women I encounter (especially with shoes on bumping me up to almost 6’2). I’ve seen guys at 5’7 get all the girls by being confident, polite, and taking care of themselves. Maybe times have changed but it could all be internet bs.. Be your best self and you’ll find what you’re looking for!
Genuine lol
That's actually incorrect. 182cm is just under 6 feet which is 183. 5ft 9 would be something around 175/6cm.
I prefer my woman between 5.2 and 5.5.
But true love forgets about all of that ♡
You're essentially the living embodiment of the 5ft 11/6 foot meme. You're so close, but are a centimeter off!I'm 1.82. Blame Google

Porn is awful for this. The industry is full of guys who are 5'7" and weigh 130 lbs with slightly above average wangs having sex with women who are 4'11" and 90 lbs. And they film the scene with a wide-angle lens. So that 6.5"er looks enormous.

My college gf and I used to read personal ads on craigslist for fun. Missed connections and the sex ads in particular. One Friday night I convinced her to create a W4M ad using a sexy (but fully clothed) selfie she had taken a few years prior just to see what would happen. Her email inbox instantly exploded with emails. I think she had over 100 within about 30 minutes, and then the ad got reported and deleted. It was absolutely insane to see firsthand as a guy.
Yup, you nailed it there man. My wife always puts it on everything that she's married, and though we've had our problems, to her credit she's never stopped doing that even for a second. She's never been a "change status to single over a fight" type, and the only social medias she engages with are Instagram and Pinterest anyway, but what I found interesting is that when she changed her profile pic to a selfie at one point in time, she suddenly kept getting followed and friend requested by guys who apparently were born with abs instead of faces of we're going by their profile pictures. Eventually, she changed her profile pic to one of her and our daughter, and the requests slowed down but still were coming in. Eventually she changes her profile pic to some of her art, which happened to be of an attractive woman's face, and STILL, they keep coming in. Eventually she replaced profile pic with a beautiful landscape shot, the requests completely dried up immediately. It was fucking uncanny bro, just genuinely strange.
lol
This whole thing is just manlet seethe, I am shorter and still get that and it isn't nice feeling.
I'm at the point where I don't even want to know if my wife gets unsolicited DMs from people. We've been together for 12 years (married for 6), so I doubt she gets many just because people she knows are aware of her status, but I do remember her showing me a couple she got after she changed her profile pic to one I took of her on the beach in Malibu showing off her legs.
Christ man two for two, you get it. Without getting deep into it, you just nailed down why my wife was about to leave me, and man it came like a sucker punch in a dark alley dude. I somehow got her to stay, and I'm doing everything in my power to be the guy she wants to be with, and things are better now, even though she does struggle with some mental health issues that make patience and understanding a tough thing that I'm always struggling with, and I've taken big steps to get my anger under control, but yeah we're about to have our thirteenth anniversary here next month, and it was around two years ago that we came to a very rocky path and she really genuinely wanted to leave me. My anger has fucked me out of so many good things in my life man, and I'm not gonna let it fuck me out of being a father and husband. Calmed down a lot now, got a behavioral therapist and I do work on me now, try not to let things get to me much, and we're doing better, though she hates being in the military and she can't wait to get out, and fuck I can't wait for her to get out too as joining is really when things started to go wrong for us. It stressed her out too much and made me crazy with jealousy and distrust, I can admit it.
So blessed.
Women want security...and to many women money equals security. And while it isn't because it can be fleeting, but having money is more fun than not.
“Actress friend” must be code for pornstar. What’s her name, I’ll look up her work, for research purposes of course.
