I Rest My Case

Below is an article about the 10 most underated men,when it comes to being overlooked by women. Yes,height is the number one reason.

Here is the article:

Under 5'5" Guys

Height is the number one request I hear from my female clients, with the average request coming in at 6 feet. But, those same clients are surprised to know that only 14 percent of men in the U.S. meet or exceed that clearance level. Height is sought for the feeling of masculinity it embodies. However, masculinity is the combination of physical prowess (height is only a portion of this component), courage, and honor - he may be vertically challenged, but if he makes up for it in other areas, this guy is a keeper!
AMEN,brother,AMEN!
We men,who are under six feet tall,did not pick our genes. GOD made us this way. We have NO CONTROL over our height. SO ladies.......ALL we are saying.......is......GIVE US A CHANCE!!!!!!!

Ya. I'm way short of 6 feet.

5'5" or thereabouts. I gave up the singles dating scene long ago, they're looking for a long list that I don't possess. Height is just one thing on the list.

Well,check this out:
1 Samuel 9 - verse 2

A choice and handsome young man: Saul was notable, not only for his family, but also for his appearance. Saul was tall (taller than any of his people) and good ...

Even in history,TALL men have had their advantages. Usually a taller candidate gets elected President.



So the people wanted Saul to be King because of his looks and his height. We find out later,in the book of Samuel,that David was better qualified to be King of Israel.

Yup, its interesting how often we hear the phrase tall, dark ... I read it in the profiles all the time. Not all, but its comes up quite often.

OK, let me help ya'll here. I 'prefer' a man 6' or taller. That doesn't mean I HAVE to have one. Before I married, I dated many guys who were not that tall. I'm pretty sure one was shorter than me and cute as a bug's ear. His height really didn't bother me. However, I would still 'prefer' a tall guy.

exit didn't you say you were like 5' 9" or 10"? That's average. Me thinks you make excuses why you can't attract women.

Just gonna throw this out there. You have mentioned in the past that you "prefer" caucasion women. Is that much different than woman wanting someone tall? Also have you considered that maybe there aren't alot of women in your age bracket that are as open to dating black men as you are to dating caucasion women?

You know what? I fully agree. Great post.

Well,if that is the case,it IS a reason and NOT an excuse. Anyway,when I was in my twenties,Caucasion women were more interested in me than Black women were. Caucasion women have always treated me better,and were MORE affectionate towards me than Black women.
As someone wrote earlier,White women think I am HOT.

Black women think I am NOT.

This has been MY experiences. I can only speak for myself.

Now,this is just my theory. Many girls,from the age of about six years old,began to start to daydream and to have fantansies about their special,wonderful,and magical Wedding Day.
They are dreaming of a TALL,older,and handsome man, a Prince,just like their daddies.
When it comes time for Daddy to walk her down the aisle,REALITY finally kicks in. Suddenly there is no Prince,no magic,and no fireworks going off.
There is a man who is NOT tall,and THERE IS NO PRINCE waiting for her at the altar.
What happens now is that she begins to cry because her dream,that she had all of her life,did not come true. THEN,she takes it out on the unknowing groom during their honeymoon.
I have seen a few couples fight on their honeymoon,when this should be the happiest time of their lives.

OooooKay! That didn't happen to me even though I didn't get a prince. Honestly when I was a young kid I never dreamed of a wedding and I never had a preference for tall men. I just dated who I was interested in.

you are not in your twenties anymore. So if white women think you are hot you are saying it's your height that is keeping you from finding a mate? How about that big chip?

 

[dayhiker]

Yup, that Cinderella story ruins it for all of us! After that its the romance novels!

Where did the idea of a "list" get popular anyway. What about getting to know a person??? It sounds like those who make the lists simply don't want to waste their time getting to know you anymore.

I totally agree! Some people actually end up with people that would never have made it, had they had a "list". Imagine that!

My pastor is married to a woman he would have never chosen. Honestly though I have a list, it really doesn't come into play for the most part. Those are my preferences not my have to haves. My have to haves would be a non-drinker, non-smoker, Christian guy who would treat me right.

As a matter of fact, I recently turned down a guy who is 6' + because he's not my type. He's very nice looking and a very good guy. Had I been into the 6' + thing completely, I would have never turned him down.

Okay. One marriage therapist,a woman,told me before I got married, that the wife sets the emontional tone of the marriage. This reminds me of the old adage,"If a woman does not get the man she WANTS,heaven help the man she GETS."

Yes! I am not in my twenties anymore. However, white women and black women STILL treat me the same way.
What would YOU suggest that I do? Become a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] and date only black women,who do not give a rat's derriere about me?

Believe me,I am not saying that NOBODY wants me.It is just the ones who are not my type that want me and not the ones who have a lot going for themselves.
As I wrote in another post,there is a parking garage across the street from me. There are a couple of women who live there. One always tells me that I am a sweet man,as I leave the store. Yes,I give her money.On some days I buy here something to eat. She loves spending time with me.However,am I just destined to be somebody's Sugardaddy?

I cannot believe that the ONLY woman for me is one with NO home,NO education,NO clean clothes,and NO teeth!

By the way, I am not saying that it is my height that is keekping me from finding a mate. The odds of me finding a mate would be GREATER IF and ONLY if I was the TYPE that MOST women are looking for. For example,if Will Smith and I both went into a club together,the odds would be more in Will Smith's favor than in mine,when it came to attracting someone. Would you not agree?
