Ideal Height In A Guy

You do realise that there are many men out there with dwarfism and by promoting this attitude you are promoting discrimination. You're also saying that the majority of them are unattractive, horrible people.

And that is abhorrent.

She didn't say they were horrible people, merely less attractive. I think that's relatively reasonable, though unfortunate.

I never even said that! I said that being tall is an attractive feature but that not being tall doesn't therefore make you unattractive!

I guess that's better, but please don't refer to a man's height as 'sweet' or 'cute'; it's seriously demoralising. I'm fine with being called sweet personality-wise, but not with regards to height, it just makes me feel like a child.

5'6.

Form an orderly queue, ladies.

As a 6'4" male this thread is really stroking my ego.

5"7 is average height

Thats pretty reasonable. It sucks hearing "at least 6"" or "6"2 when you are small - medium height. I mean, if I said for a girl "she must have X breast size" I would be pilloried as a sexist ********, because I guess you can't help your breast size. And you can't change your height.

In fact, from a male perspective I can say breasts do not make a woman. Cleavage is obviously attractive, but its just a bonus. It does not hold any sway on how attractive a girl is

Pretty great height IMO!

Meh, depends how sensitive you are about it. I don't think I've ever offended anyone before. They would rather I call them cute than "eww, ****in' short guys, 6' or go home." Nothing wrong with being cute. Cute =/= a child, otherwise why is it okay for men to call short women cute? Is it saying women are like children? I never got the sensitivity about men being cute. It's a good thing in my opinion, it doesn't mean they're sissy bitches. That's the only reason I'd tend to not like short guys, when they get really defensive about being short. Anyway.

To all the short bros reading this thread...

I know that feel..

Ok, maybe I phrased that badly, it doesn't make me feel like a child, but it does make me feel like less of a man. Being tall is perceived as a masculine trait, so making fun of the fact a guy is short is essentially devaluing him as a man. How would you like it if some guy made fun of your boobs, your bum or your legs, or drew attention to some unsightly body hair? I'm willing to bet it would have a similar effect.

Everyone has their insecurities, it's unavoidable. My main insecurity is (obviously) my height, I try not to let it bother me but it does, it really does. All I'm saying is that it's unreasonable to expect someone to not be sensitive about their insecurities, and for a large amount of short guys, it will be their height they are insecure about.
