Why do we still give so much importance to a man's height?

Question

It's not like we still live in the jungle and we need physical strength to hunt for food. I'm 5'6'' and 3/4 without shoes but I just tell people I'm 5'7'' . I hate it when women prefer tall men. As if height makes guys better people. Some of the most horrible men in the world have been tall and handsome. Look at Ted Bundy for example or Osama. So I have a question for women. Would you rather be with a guy who's about 5"7 like me with a good heart or a loser who's tall?

Answer 1

It's a cultural thing, I think coming from the barrage of media hype we subjected to each day. They convince us that we will suffer certain shortfalls if we don't use the right make-up, use their deodorant, soap, shampoo, etc. This started years ago. Remember the line in the Rolling Stones hit, "Satisfaction"? "Well, he can't be a MAN cause he doesn't smoke the same cigarette as me." Same thing applies here. Also, remember that females are subjected to the same unfair criteria: You can't be sexy unless you have big breasts! Ask the women how they feel about large breasts and I think the majority would say they are just a pain in the posterior...er...chest and back. People always want to judge. Since they can not see inner qualities, they use superficial characteristics to make comparisions. It's such a pathetic aspect of human nature. But hang in there though. Some day a woman will come along that values strong inner values and ethics. I know it happened to me. BTW, I'm vertically challenged myself being all of 5' 5'. I know EXACTLY what you are talking about.

Answer 2

how about a tall man with a good heart?

just kidding, i would want the short man with the good heart. I have noticed what you said about the tall man/preffered thing. Even if I personally dont care.

I think that what it is, is although we don;t need strong men anymore, our instinct is still to be attracted to those who are tall

though, 5'6 3/4 isn't really THAT short, and your girl wont have to crane her neck up just to look you in the eye.

gurllucky, you dont have to yell at him, cool it with the caps

Answer 3

um short, most guys are 6'0 though. R u doing looks or what? Don't stereotype us, and I am so sick of EVERY guy saying they are good! please! only .0000000000000000002% actually are maybe even less. All guys are jerks at some point, some are just bigger jerks, and jerks all the time. I'm beginning to dislike guys though. I think I've been an idiot. I fell for the good guy, or so I thought he was good. Plus I am short, remember some girls are 5'7 and above strangely, so yeah for them, a tall guy would be good. Guys are supposed to be tall.

Answer 4

Ted Bundy and Osama Bin Goatfucker are handsome? I'm 6'3" and that's cool but I never thought I had advantage over pipsqueaks. Sorry dude. BTW my girlfriend is 6'1". How sweet is that? One more BTW had to add this. Hitler was 5'8".

Answer 5

Because tall means you're probably a boss or a leader. America says bigger is better and women want to feel secure when they're with their man. Just put some of those inserts in your shoes, it will make you feel slightly bigger/taller and help you get more women.

Answer 6

WELL IN MY SITUATION ID RATHER BE WITH A TALL GUY. IM TALL. IM5'10. IVE DATED GUYS SHORTER BUT I FEEL LIKE A GIANT WHEN IM WITH A SHORT GUY. THERES NOTHIN WRONG WITH SHORT GUYS, ALOT OF SHORTER GUYS SURPRISE ME IN WHAT THEY CAN DO.ESPECIALLY WITH ME:) BUT TALLER GUYS MAKE ME FEEL SECURE AND I DONT FEEL LIKE A GIANT. AND SOME SHORT GUYS GET INTIMIDATED BY TALLER GIRLS. BUT IVE NEVER DATED A LOSER NO MATTER HOW TALL OR SHORT THEY ARE.
