I am a bit saddened and disturbed by the post "Height is the most important thing when dating girls" (because so many people actually believe this), so much so that I am making a counter-post.
First I want to say that I'm actually starting to think myself out of height neurosis (I thought myself into it, so I'm fighting to think myself out of it. Doing an "ok" job).
Anyway..... The main issue I have with this post is the failure to make the distinction between attraction and dating. When a girls falls for you (which I consider "dating"), she will care little about you being tall (as long as you are an inch or two taller than her, which should leave most of us with a huge DATING pool). She will care more about your kindness, personality, intellect, smile, manners, and compatibility.
And like I've always said "I would love to be 5' 10", because any girls who only want a 6 footer are jackasses. being 5' 10" would a allow me to avoid such girls".
Would you guys want to date a girl who cared more about height than anything else? That's the true question.
Height is NOT the most important thing when dating girls
I forgot to add something. I think many people have distorted ideas of what "height is important" means.
In a general sense, yes height is somewhat (maybe very) important in dating ---> "NewHeights, doesn't that mean I have to be 6' 2" otherwise girls won't date me?"...."Haha, no silly, it means that you have to be their height or taller. That's what most girls mean when they say "height is important""

Many girls are shallow, as are many men. The problem is that we use generalizations too much. Also guys, don't elevate the woman too much. Remember, the grass is always greener the other side (meaning women have insecurities and are often never asked out or approached by men)
Instead of us being meek little men who are so scared of what woman want, we should use our advantage of being men in that we can shop for women. If we don't have enough qualifies (currency) for a certain woman, we can just approach another.
Believe me, there are tons of woman who are never shopped on and would fall for someone just because he had the courage to shop.
5% of short guys are more successful than 95% of tall guys because they have this courage.
Quote from: ForcedPuberty on February 23, 2015, 05:39:38 PMall you did was state a bunch of qualities that women look for when choosing a mate and then said............ see girls like these qualities also therefore height doesn't matter, and by that I mean height is not the most important qualiy.
excuse me dudes, but seriously you do realize that this does not in any way shape or form illustrate a structured argument based on logic? yes?
height is the most important quality that women look for. and my argument is based on this simple fact. if a man had every single characteristic to perfection and yet was really short compared to the average, 9 out of 10 girls would not even bother to get to know him sexually to start with let alone consider him husband material. any other characteristic out there is just a point adder,
if height is bad the girl does not even bother with your other characteristics 99% of the time. if all your other characteristics are bad they don't subtract points from your other characteristics like height does. height cancels the points you get from your other characteristics if it is deficient making it the most important characteristic.
as an example to illustrate my point.
2 people, both have every single characteristic as perfect in the eyes of women.
the first man though has a 1 inch penis.
the second man is a midget.
no girl would give a fk about the midget, however a great many women will still date the man with a 1 inch penis who has everything else perfect.
penis size being 1 inch, is about as bad as characteristics giving negative points can get, in my opinion. so I think my example proves a valid point. height is the most important characteristic. because height destroys the other characteristic points.
I disagree with your assertions. First of all, I made another post a while ago that included a study which found that shoulder to hip ratio, height, and penis size are all significant factors in male physical attractiveness, with penis size and height being tied and shoulder to hip ratio being the most important.
Height is important in that the guy should be taller than the girl. People distort what "height is important" means. Remember, the study found that shoulders are more important.
Quote from: ForcedPuberty on February 23, 2015, 06:02:18 PMoh goodie. a discussion 
since all the other characteristics (not in bold) are generalizations I cant really discuss them.
a midget with perfect shoulder to hip ratio and all other characteristics(being perfect) vs a perfect man with terrible/worst shoulder to hip ratio imaginable.
nope the perfect man with terrible shoulder to hip ratio will still get massively more women than the midget with perfect shoulder to hip ratios.
your shoulder to hip ratio theory is wrong. height trumps it.
The shoulder to hip ratio is meant to be viewed in the realm of normalcy. Using the example of a midget falls out of that realm.
Quote from: Moose on February 23, 2015, 06:13:25 PMA girl wont really be able to tell the difference between 5'10 and 6'0. When you hear them talk about minimum 5'10 they are basically saying minimum 5'9 and if you are 5'8 they still wont tell the difference as long as they are shorter. Personally i think the perfect male height is 5'9. Not tall to be annoyed consistently by bat crap crazy girls and not short enough to be disrespected.
I generally agree with you Moose, but I feel the perfect number is 5 11"
Quote from: YellowSpike on February 26, 2015, 02:00:04 PM100% this. It's when you're far out of the range of "average" (super short or super tall) that your height will really negatively impact your life. This also goes for men who are too tall.
You are correct sir. I found a study a while ago that polled college girls on "average attractiveness score based on height". 5' 11" to 6' had the highest average score, while below 5' 7" and above 6' 5" were relatIvely low. Let's not forget though, that the 6 5" guys are rare, and the 20% of girls who want them will be like leeches.
Quote from: Uppland on February 26, 2015, 02:23:17 PMYou're onto something, while I don't think most girls mind a guy being way tall, it's only a fetisch for some.
This is a freak confidence that you said tall guy fetish, but I was actually thinking right after my post that I wonder if and girls have a "short guy fetish"
Quote from: YellowSpike on February 26, 2015, 02:33:13 PMWomen who go after super tall men are called "Size Queens," and trust me, they definitely exist. I've known a few, and they are typically some of the shallowest women you could possibly meet. Some very hot, yes...but in the long-run, not marriage material, no.
Once again, you hit the nail on the leg Yellow. Any girls who ONLY WANT a guy who is 6ft and up are jackasses
