Is online dating a good idea?
I am considering it but I hear so many negative things about it online and in real life. Like shorter men and bigger women being shammed and only get people who are below average interested in them. Thoughts? |

Should you lie about your height?
I read that men should lie about their height on dating sites to increase odds because 75% of women are 5'6 or shorter on these sites. They will likely cancel out a lot of possible meeting or matching because most dating sites do 2inches + taller men than the woman. I am not sure about this and I would like to know if anyone else heard this? |

How soon do you make your move?
In terms of "sleeping" with your date? I have been seeing a woman on and off, nothing serious but we haven't gone all the way yet and I am not sure if it is because of me, like she is expecting me to do something, or if she doesn't want to. It has been 2 months and we have hung out a few times and went on like 5 dates. 2 of them were double dates. |

Condom assumptions
I was buying some today, got the magnums, the ones I always get. I take them up to the woman at the register and she gives me this look, like scans my body then fluffs out this chuckle. I asked if something was wrong and she said "nope" with an attitude. She musta have been around 25. I know it is because I am shorter and thinner. She is assuming because of this, I have a small size downstairs. Anyone ever get this? What BS! |

Who has it worse...
An average looking man who is 6'+ or a good looking man who is under 5'8? (In respects to dating and going out on dates/meeting women,ect) |

Do bigger girls care more about height?
I was talking about this with a friend and he believes women who are bigger or curvier want taller men. He said this was because they wanted to feel smaller and more lady like. If they are with short guys, it makes them look bigger. What do you think? |

Why do men think ALL women hate short guys?
"Women hate short men. All women, when given the opportunity, will leave a short man for a tall man. This is because women view tall men as higher value (in general). The only way you can prevent this is to make yourself higher value than taller men. You can do this by working out and by being successful in whatever you choose to do. Keep in mind that "nerdy interests" will not make you a higher value man. Good luck." I read that comment online. What bothers me about this is that he is telling someone that "ALL women prefer taller men". Also, why does having "nerdy interests" devalue a person? My younger sister loved nerdy guys and from what I have been told (unfortunately) by my friends, she is a knock out. |

Short women taking all the tall men?
I heard someone say this while I was shopping the other day and I had to post it here. The woman saying this was maybe 5'8ish maybe taller, she goes "I am so sick of all these little girls taking all the tall men. Like come on! There are plenty of short guys us tall and stunning model types don't want!" Her friend was about her height as well and just agreed and said it is "pathetic" So my question is, does it bother you that tall men take all the short women? |

Happier Alone
I'm very unusual. I have some what high standards and, sort of, expectations from my relationships. But the most important things to me are loyalty and faithfulness. Being the height that I am, I find it hard to find women who see the value in being with me as I would in them. I can admit, I really don't have much to offer. But I've seen selfish people with a lot less to offer in happy relationships. This isn't a question and I don't really want any advice. I'm just venting because I'm a little annoyed. I'm annoyed that I probably won't find something like that until I'm in my 30's. I'm annoyed that when I do, it'll be with someone with a different moral ground than me. I'm annoyed that people say I'm the problem or I need to change. And again, there's some things I do need to change. But they want me to change who I am which causes this bitter anger inside of me. I'm tired of being alone, but I'm coming to realization that's when I'll be happiest. It hurts because I've always gave myself hope in a fable. "Oh there's 7 billion people in the world. You'll find someone like you who loves you as much as you love them." I didn't understand that the chances are extremely slim and my standards would prove to make that difficult. I'm a little twisted, but I'm happy with who I am as a person. It just sucks that I can't find a girl like me who I can be happy with and spend my time. Whether it's my physical appearance or the way my mind works. I'm not at all what women are interested in and even when they are, they lose interest fast. I now realize I'd be happier alone.

Do you care about hair color?
I ask because I am begining to think I am more attracted to darker haired women. I am not sure when this started but I saw a woman I was friend with a few years back. At the time she was blonde and I didn't find her attractive at all and now her hair is dark brown and I was taken back. Her eyes looked like they were glowing. |

It is a 16 year old couple who are both short but you can tell how happy they are. http://www.reddit.com/r/short/comments/3eishk/me_545_and_my_gf_53/ I wish more men would be like this and show the world they can be happy. Tell all them height freaks to kick rocks. |

Going on a date
It hasn't been long and this wasn't planned but since my ex moved and when we recently spoke, she didn't plan on coming back, I said yes to going out with a friend's girlfriend's friend. She is cute. Brown hair, hazel eyes, about 5'1. She works out but isn't a fitness freak. Nice body, fit but curvy with fat in the right places if you know what I mean.. haha Anyways, we are going to keep it casual. We spoke on the phone and will catch a movie and some dinner after. This way we have something to talk about while eating if all else fails. The only thing I am worried about is that she is not only friends with her ex, but he is a complete gym rat. The dude is over 6' and has to weight like 210 but all muscle. I don't want to be a let down. We never met but have talked on the phone. She knows I am not tall or buff but still, she hasn't seen me. I am worried. I don't want this worry to ruin the night. Any advice? |

So I may have made a woops.
So I was seeing this gal on and off. We slept together a few times, been on a few dates, it was never serious. Well after not seeing her for like almost 2 months, I get a txt saying we need to talk. She is pregnant. And here is the kicker, she was with 3 other dudes while messing with me. SOOO glad I didn't get serious with her but yeah... there is a 25% the baby is mine. I have been calm for the last few days but it hit me today seeing little kids running around. What do I do in this position? |

I think someone at work likes me
So this new girl, or rather, "women" started 2 weeks ago. She is always looking at me smiling and asking me for help. She is 19, which is a but young for me ( I don't date more then 5 years younger than myself), but she is cute. I am not sure if I should do anything about this or not. |

How many dates before it is official?
I am curious about this. When dating a woman, when does it become and official relationship? How many dates does it take? |

Is it fair to say short men and tall women have it the hardest?
Quote: Originally posted by GoKnicks
Sounds logical. I guess tall women have it as bad as short guys when it comes to preference but some men like model bodies so tall and thin is what they love. I still think women have it easier, even taller ones. BUT that is not to say they don't have trouble with weight. A lot of dudes out there will shun a gal for being 10 pounds heavier then she was when they first started dating. |
