I want you to say if you identify yourself as feminist or not.
What do you *feel* when you dance or romance a guy who is 6 inches shorter than you and 50 lbs lighter than you?

Professor,
Wow, how polite you are. Is that feminism too?

I must say your rudeness is unwarranted.

Professor,
There are men who weigh 100-120 lbs and 5 to 5'5". The corresponding women would be 150-170 lbs and 5'6 to 6 ft tall, and there are many women like that.

Britebev,
No I'm a guy and I think your answer is spot on. People should not be so picky.

Okay, I'm going to be straight out and honest. You probably won't believe me but I'll say it anyways.
I actually wouldn't care. If the guy is nice, sweet, and cares about me I don't care hall tall he is compared to me or how much the weight differance is. I really don't see why it matters. Haven't people ever heard it's about the personality not the looks?
Okay, I'm 5'1" and weigh 107 lbs. I went out with a guy just a few months ago who was about 4'4" - 4'6" and I went out with the guy anyways. He was sweet.
(As for why we broke up: he moved otherwise, trust me, we'd still be together. ^-^)
Well, there you go. hope this answers your question. I was truethful with what I said. ^-^

I can't imagine dating a man that is 4'5 I don't think I have ever met any. My boyfriend is 5'6 and so was my ex that is short enough but I wouldn't mind to much if they were a little shorter. I like that they can reach things I can't, saves getting a step stool.
What does that have to do with being feminist? Maybe you are defining feminism in some negative way.
I believe in equal rights and equal pay for equal work that doesn't mean I can't still be a real women.

The same "feeling" when you dance or romance a guy who is 6 inches taller than you and 50 pounds heavier - if you care about each other and make a connection, it doesn't matter what their outsides are like - only what kind of person they are and how they treat you. Did he show up on time? Take you to where YOU wanted to dance? Treat you well? Pay for your drinks? Romance you the way you wanted? Don't be so picky - and let's hope guys you dance with or romance are not as shallow as you. Gee whiz - are his eyes the right color for you?

I feel that I am a feminist, but not what today's world had defined it as. I do not feel I am superior to a man, and I do not feel that laws should be set up to guarantee women more benefits than men. I do feel that I should earn my own money, pay my own bills and be able to stand alone, but at the same time, I can appreciate a man when he shows sincere romance . I do not like shorter men or thinner men than I. I do not think this makes me anti feminist.

I'm a feminist, and I can't say how I feel about this scenario because I've never experienced it in real life. I will say that such a man would be under five feet tall and less than one hundred pounds, and that I usually prefer guys with weight that's equal or greater than mine, and the same height or taller (though not excessively so).
I guess such a situation in real life would depend on the man's personality.

I do not consider my self a feminist to the extreme. I don't know what that has to do with this question though. If I liked the guy I would feel great. The size of him (height/weight) does not matter to me as long as we are both having fun.

To be honest I am a bit peeved and oh how, still I will be as cordial as I can, so let's see what the question is.
First of all I identify myself as an anti-feminist to the very tenth degree. I feel like I'm doing what you described, rather I guess I would be cause I only dated a vietnamese fighter pilot once, I think he was around five-two and very sweet; asked me to marry him; only I wasn't ready..by the way I'm five-six.

When I date a man, I want to feel feminine. I am a very feminine girly girl and when a man makes me feel not like I usually do, then I probably wouldn't date him.

I'm only five feet tall, so even finding a guy who's shorter than me is a strain. But I wouldn't be attracted to that guy. I like them tall.
