If you like every type of food...cool...but leave others alone who don't like cheese, mushrooms,....
NEVER, people who hate cheese are eviiiiil

This is a good fight to fight.
This is a thread about Tinder, men's height, and preferences with regards to physical attraction. At least I'm somewhat on topic instead of shitpost sniping.

I'm pretty stoked that being honest about my preferences doesn't exclude an entire race of people though(or you know, hair color), not even close, so fucking a', right?
Yeah, good for you.

Have you stopped, REALLY stopped, to consider WHY this is?

I'm genuinely curious.
Is it because you've allowed society to too greatly influence you?

My money's on that.
Maybe that's why he's like that. Maybe not. Don't jump to conclusions.

Why am I (almost) only attracted to long-haired men? Why am I far more attracted to stubble or (short) beards vs clean shaven (boring)? Is it society? Surely not, that look has never been trendy (even beards, which are coming back in style, certainly weren't in my formative hormonal teenage years :p plus I hate the hipster beard look with a passion anyway). I don't know why this guy is super hot and yet this guy does nothing for me*. It's just how it is.

Yes, it's the same guy xD

Isn't it funny how easy it is to lure dem foodists out of their safe zone?
I need some strong white-knighting here!!! Cheese haters assemble!!!

Edit: Cindi is on fire,lol. Girl, please cool down before you melt away :D
Going by the pic of your no.1 guy, I would be nothing but moving matter to you,haha.
 
I mean, of course I like other things about men besides looks. But we're talking about online dating/fucking. I met my BF on OKCupid. As great a man he is, I don't think I would have responded as fast I did if he were average or ugly. But he's sexy as hell, and that's the first thing I saw, so yeah I'm going to look at his profile and see if we click before responding to him.

Physical looks are the first impression someone has of you. Of course, things can change. One guy at a store I used to go was the manager. I thought he was alright in terms of looks and never saw anything in him until one day two customers come in and try to hustle him and threaten violence. He doesn't budge an inch and says he's going to call security if they don't leave within five seconds. "I'm calling security. Leave my store." He said it in such a manly way. After that I had a bit of a crush on him because I find that kind of forward personality in a man hot and I felt safe around him. Dude went from maybe 6 to an 8 in 30 seconds. He was also white.

But online has no such interaction. Online is all about how you look first and foremost. You're not going to get any bites if you don't look at least okay in terms of physical attraction. Maybe you're okay but you're not taking the best photos. This stuff matters. Appearance matters. All of it matters. It still matters in real life, in face to face encounters. I'll definitely go for the hot, tall man with the muscles by default, but until you show me you have more to offer and I get to know you more that's what it's gonna be.

Hmm, Idk Cindi....
Maybe big D Gaf

can help me in this matter: Is it possible to hide your long sausage by putting
it between your legs then upwards straight along your butt-crack with the tip pointing at your head??? Maybe this picture was taken outside.... in Alaska?

I actually agree that Elba is the hottest guy on that list.

Flaccid size isn't that strongly correlated with erect size. Some people barely grow at all, while some more than double in size. Also, how big your balls are affects how big your buldge is because it pushes things out. Penisfacts.

True. The first thing I noticed about the guy who became my boyfriend, before I even met him, was how hot he was. And that made me want to get to know him. Buuuut:

Haha, 6-to-8, yeah something similar happened to me with a co-worker. When I first met him he didn't register to me as attractive, just average. But working with him and getting to know him, I found him a very cool person, intelligent, thoughtful, funny. I was already in a relationship so I wasn't romantically interested whatsoever, but even as a friend I found myself thinking "hey he's actually pretty good looking after all". Appreciating his personality somehow made his physical features appear more attractive.

Likewise, I once met a guy I thought was cute, but he ended up being dumb as a rock, like powerfully stupid and clueless. Now suddenly all I could think of was how stupid his face looked, with his pouty lips and dull, bovine eyes, and I couldn't ever fathom how I ever found him cute to begin with. xD

But online has no such interaction. Online is all about how you look first and foremost.
Yeah, and especially something as shallow as Tinder, I suspect.

That may be right my friend, but my longstanding field studies in penisology...we're talking American Porn here, are telling me that male porn stars would never be able to work in a speedo in front of an audience, no matter if they're a grower or not.

This is so true about online and in real life. People are definitely more superficial online because that's all they can go by. Plus punking a dude who was in the wrong while she's present will impress a lot of women. LOL

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
I always hear that women like taller guys cos they want to feel secure. Is the world really that scary for women? Is this outdated thinking from cavemen days?

I do feel more masculine next to a smaller framed girl. I have gotten used to it since I started dating tall girls. But I remember feeling a bit off when I first dated a tall girl.

So perhaps girls like tall guys because those guys feel more confident around them. For reference I'm 5'10 or '11 and never felt I had height issues, but I don't doubt that taller guys have an easier time initially attracting girls.

Honestly, I used to be intimidated by taller women because I naively thought they were more difficult to please sexually due to them being "deeper"... LOL

As a short guy, I always thought the tall preference was always partially reverse/reverse psychology.

Like "I partially prefer tall guys because I think guys prefer women that are shorter than them".

Most of the women I've dated have been taller than me, and I've heard something similar from most of them.

Why don't black women find me attractive? I hit on black and mixed race girls all the time and get nowhere.

I think white women find my George Costanza personality charming. For some odd reason.

IRL or on apps/websites? To the current topic, I don't think people who have specific preferences are necessarily racist, however I do think that if you absolutely restrict yourself (ie no exceptions) then there is something foul deeply rooted somewhere inside you.

Personally, I'm mixed but I generally won't go for super dark or super pale -- I have made exceptions in both cases. Apart from that, it's open season. White, black, asian, latin, indian, arab, get at me woo! ... I'm getting worked up already. With that said I'm actually very picky when it comes to actually dating, but that's less skin and more features/personality/lifestyle. A girl could be hot but she's smoking something so she's out, another could be gorgeous but all her pics are clubbing/yacht parties, she's too toned, she has thousand dollar bags, etc.

Honestly, I used to be intimidated by taller women because I naively thought they were more difficult to please sexually due to them being "deeper"... LOL

Confusing height w/ the big booty dilemma?

No. You have a thing called balls. Dick pointing down and back give you the biggest bulge.

This is if you're thin. If you have very big legs, bulge would appear a bit smaller in that position i guess.

Ahahaha, this is so good, lol.

So far, I've had 3 affairs with girls being like 2 inches taller than me.
1st one = slightly intimidated
2nd one = ok, I'm diggin it
3rd one = I'm Napoleon Bonaparte, conqueror of the world

everything in life can be spun like a Microsoft press release, lmao

Right? How you look is going to make me want to talk to you and know more for sure. I know exactly what you mean about finding physical features attractive the more you get to know and like them. I wonder why that is. Do you think how we approach this is evolutionary?

damn nigga, you had THREE affairs? Get ya own woman, b
 
Some people are intimidated by big booty women because "it takes more for them to feel it." It's similarly silly.

On OKcupid and Tinder I had a pic of me in short shorts and you could see that I have a perfect C booty in that pic. I got lots of messages asking how big they have to be to satisfy me. Was really weird.

Reading this topic is making me wonder

As someone who doesn't really care much at all about his prospective partner's appearance, how would I go about meeting someone else who doesn't care much at all about appearance? Because I put no effort into the way I look but I'd be fine with a partner that does the same.This topic (both the OP and all of the replies) has led me to the conclusion that most 20somethings aren't the same way, especially on online dating.

Most 20 something's? Try most people.
 
Hey, fams. What about penis size. A girl I'm seeing says my dong is big, and it's mostly the girth. She's telling her friends and coworkers how big I am. I usually use Trojan enz, in the blue wrapper, but she says it's too tight. Fam says I should use magnum.

Never in a million years would I think I'd need to try magnum for my monster dong.
 
Ahahaha, this is so good, lol.

It's true tho. Despite acting confident, I was a bit nervous the first time I had sex with my ex girlfriend who was 5'11 tall. All that anxiety went away, after I could tell she could feel the full impact of my thrusts. You couldn't tell me nothing after that. LOL

Nah, I'm a big booty connoisseur plus doggystyle is my favorite position, hence the reason I'm attracted physically to the average Black woman's body type. I thought everything was relative therefore taller women had deeper vaginas, thus more difficult to please. LOL Just like I thought the taller the guy the bigger his penis, which I found out isn't true just from hearing women speak about it. As somebody who's chilled and hung out with groupies and video vixens; Shaq is pretty average sized.

It's definitely most people, but earlier ITT people were saying that once people get into their 30s they tend to be willing to "settle," more I guess. Though you're right in general.

From my experience... "settling" and "arriving" through relationships is the biggest myth of our time. You have to go full Zen to achieve something like this. All the options and challenges of our modern life keep most of us from following the traditional path.

GAF,

To be honest I have no idea how Tinder works.

I've been in NYC for almost 3 weeks and I have had no matches, but in the past 3 days I've gotten like 50.
Granted like 1/3 of them seem to be fake.

Truly baffling how this Tinder thing works.

I don't think you're ever going to find a woman who doesn't care a little bit about how she looks. But there are a lot who don't give a fuck about the latest fashion hype. Finding these woman is still possible everywhere. Just go to "alternative/non mainstream" places.

Do what I do, No Condom, otherwise you're missing out, fam.

Sure, but you said you don't care about your appearance. Most people who are date worthy care for their appearance, even if they're only Plan C. I'm not saying most people want to go to the gym four days a week to care for themselves or buy the latest clothes all the time but most people no matter the age range try to look presentable whether they're single or not. What you mean by not caring about appearances can mean a lot of things. For all I know it means you don't give a fuck about wearing that lame fucking Assassin's Creed hoodie. Or maybe you're not big on shaving, working out or wearing decent clothes. I don't know what you mean. You could mean you like looking like a slob. I dunno.

Shaq is pretty average sized.

Damn, that must suck for him. I'm imagining how Shaq stands next to Obama and he looks like a 12 year old.

No imagine Shaq standing there with a 5.8" dick that looks like it's about 2" because it's attached to a giant.

Shaq: "But I swear it's average!"

Edit: as for settling. People say that, but I really think they mean priorities change, and you find different things attractive at 35 then 23.

Had a similar experience with a big booty, puppy-fat girl. My thought: this will be like sticking a salami into a bucket. Lol, boi was I wrong...the exact opposite was true...had to think about snails, vomit and other disgusting stuff in order to not come instantly.

She says? If it's too tight you'll feel it yourself, hell you'll have a hard time unrolling it. The names of those things are just there to boost guys' egos btw, doesn't say much about the size. Anyway, measure your girth and refer to this chart:

She wants us to get tested first, fam. We be sleezin around too much for that to happen.

I'm not even mad at that. I wish there were disposable instant STD testing kits that you could buy at Gas Stations/Convenience Stores/Grocery Stores.

I'm not gonna lie, if i see any long term relationship/ girlfriend potential then I don't even use a condom the first time we have sex. Surprisingly, I have had very little pushback from this.

Being a pretty nigga has its advantages.

Go on.

I mean I can never tell. It's not cutting circulation off, but it's tight and not rolling off. I may but one just to try it out.

As for getting tested, not until we're a couple.

No cock bragging and no cock shaming either, since I'm a slightly below average guy...but 3 inch girth??? Really??? Are we talking rubbers here you put on your index finger to examine someone's butthole?
