    I didn't want to bring this up, but I've spent a while throwing up and crying over this? Why? Because it's the most disgusting thing I've heard so far - and I give counseling sessions to people.

    OMGOSH. This girl is an animal, im sorry. Im very diplomatic, but no this is just wrong. I think she needs to psychiatric help, because obviously she can not relate to peoples feelings. Heart goes out to her ex. <3

    Some women have been telling her that she doesn't new to feel guilty and what she did was ok :/

    I think I remember why I'm super cautious around women again, even if not all are like that, but it goes to show.

    I've spent the past hours throwing up and crying because it could have easily been me in that situation.

    The fact that she can't tell what's right and what's wrong or even care is in itself a testament to what she is, but she probably won't learn, if she's already reached this mature age

    Honestly, I feel close to tears for her pooooor ex. He must not know what to do with his poorself. I know, its scary to think, what if I had been her ex. Whatever, she needs to change, because her lifes gnna be a **** hole. But damn, she's in uni...maturity should have reached. Tbh, in uni people go hav fun and sleep around a bit - but Come on! Do it when your single, not in a commited relationship with someone who seems to have given her everything. I just wanna reimburse him of all the money he spent on that little slut. =( Man I feel well sad now. Stupid **** and her need to seek advice, yeh like anyones going to support her. Only those who need to go with her to also see the ****ing therapist. Sick Sick little girl.

    Raw animalistic nature...big guy=healthy guy=better mate...
    This isn't really true, considering tall peoples heart has to work much harder. Life expectancy is lower.

    Although, I don't think I care if the guy is short or tall

    That's refreshing to hear (although I'm more than two inches shorter than you so it doesn't cheer me up that much!)
    It's just something that's really frustrating as a short guy - you are automatically precluded from even the potential of a relationship with easily over 50% of girls that are the same height/taller than you due to something which you can do absolutely nothing about.
    If I was obese I could lose weight, if I smelt bad I could clean, if I was really ugly I could change my style or even get plastic surgery if it was that extreme but there is nothing that you can do about your height.

    I don't understand the protection thing either; granted I have done martial arts in the past for several years but I am very confident that I could incapacitate most of my male friends (several of which are around 6ft) if I had to, weight is important but height has very little baring on how well you can defend yourself/others and ultimately if you need protecting it's likely to be because someone is threatening you with a weapon during an attempted mugging etc and I would love to see how well the average, untrained 6ft + guy does against a knife, baseball bat or gun...
    I guess the protection thing is I guess appearances more than anything...

    But I wouldn't worry - no one ever really ends up dating their ideal person. Well, I haven't so far. :ahee:

    Being 5'2", people think that I can't protect people with me. A girl who declined me for my height watched in horror as I knocked her 6 ft something boyfriend down.

    I can tolerate people making fun out of my height.
    I can tolerate people using me as an armrest.
    I can't tolerate anyone testing my masculinity, and I will not use force until I have to.
    I may be missing something here, but if she had a boyfriend, she probably didn't decline you purely because of your height. She probably declined you because she had a boyfriend.

    (Unless of course, this incident happened months after your rejection)

    I'm not sure whether this is meant to be positive or not but thanks I think
    There's a whole seperate thread on 'ideal' partners, honestly I don't believe that what we think is ideal (or more accurately what we are told to think is ideal) is at all. But you seem nice so I'm sure you'll be fine

    She's almost definitely a troll, no real person in that situation would recount so much detail...

    Its possibly due to sexual selection.

    Taller guys are preferred because height is a sexually attractive feature for women demonstrating genetic superiority, along with strong jawlines, stamina and toughness.

    Its similar to why men find women with nice bodies attractive - its programmed in us.

    She didn't have a boyfriend at the time. She said, pretty much verbatim: "You're not a man, you're too small to be one and you'll never be one". It was at that point that I realized that she doesn't know what she's missing out on and isn't worth my energy.

    In that case, she's clearly not worth your time. Even if someone has a preference for taller guys (which is fair enough, everyone has preferences) rejecting someone and insulting their masculinity on the basis of height alone is pathetic.

    Exactly what I thought.

    But then I had someone come along and tell me that I'm perfect. We're in love with each other now, but we had been flirting with each other for a long time before the moment of declaration.

    Happy ending then!
