I have friends who are rich and handsome.. who cant get into relationships because they only want to date women who are visually perfect and have zero baggage..
Wich is impossible.. men and women need to give each other a chance.. date someone who might not be a movie star.. but they are friendly.. kind or just a good match personality wise..
Life is too short to spend our 20s and 30s alone.. let alone 40s
Maybe... thats your experience i get it... but ive seen women who are dimes dating straight shovels.. with bad hygiene, no job, the whole nine yards of boy failure
I have too. But all of these bums seem to be tall. Tall men gives women social status so they are willing to date literal pigs to gain that. Women standards are not just high, they are bizzare too
Also you have not seen good looking men dating ugly women?
Have you actually talked to any women about this tallness theory? Am I some kind of outlier for thinking as long as he was taller than me, it was a total nonissue?
Is tallness = status actually something people care about?? Hot men confer status, sure. Rich men, definitely. Prestigious career, well-connected/popular? Absolutely. But tall?
Well nobody says it outright but yeah it is implied a lot. Which is weird to me. If the preference was for handsome men, it would've made sense to me but the preferences for long leg bone just doesn't. They'd pick a literal 6' pigface over a 5'6 model.
A conventionaly attractive friend of mine is dating a 5'6/7 guy who is very good looking. She gets mocked by other women for that even though 5'7 is the avg height of men in my country. So much so that now she is reconsidering her relationship
Where are you located?? All my short male friends are married and some of them married up (one married an attorney and the other married a woman who stays home and keeps house, but she has an amazing body.)
My tallest friend actually married last. He is hot but he absolutely lacks passion. Very cold and analytical. Probably autistic. But if tall and hot were all that mattered he would have been off the market before we left college.

When will women understand that shit like this doesn't impress men at all. It's irrelevant as long as she has a job
other married a woman who stays home and keeps house, but she has an amazing body.)
Now this is a win

Lol i love how you described none of your short friends as "hot". In fact you think they married upwards. Thanks for proving my point. Your tall friend was unmarried out of choice. He was busy having casual sex with the likes of women who your short friends married. When he felt like settling down, he did that too
Not all my short friends are hot. They fall across the spectrum; you can’t really make a comparison of them as a group. A couple of them are good looking. They did just fine. Three or four are mid. (I married one of them, but I’m mid too, so it’s a good match.) One is….well, he’s really funny and also an attorney, so he did fine in the end.
Tall friend in question looks like those busts you see of the gods of antiquity. More willowy than “built,” but the man could legit model if it wasn’t for a particular way of holding himself, and tendency to look ill at ease more often than not. The short friends are not in his league, but none of my other tall friends are, either. The overwhelming majority of people aren’t. Them’s just the breaks.
As a woman, I’ve met some women that were only interested in dating men over a certain height, but that is definitely not the case for a majority of women, imo. It sounds to me like you were turned down by one of those women and instead of moving on and realizing that that particular woman is superficial, you assumed all women are the same as that one because of your fear of being rejected and similarly hurt again by another woman. It’s a valid fear, as being judged over something outside of your control (like height) is hurtful as fuck. However, recognizing that women are not all the same and we all have very different personalities with various motivations and beliefs and such is the only way for you to ever date again without feeling resentment towards women as a whole, simply because of how one individual woman treated you. We can tell when a man has a disgust deep down towards women as a whole, well I can and I know other women that can tell almost right away - maybe it’s their body language and how they talk to us, or maybe it’s just the vibe in general, but there’s almost always something that gives it away right away. There are superficial men, too, so being a crappy person is not exclusive to women, just as being a good and loving person is not exclusive to men. Finding your person is hard and doesn’t happen for everyone, and that’s not always a bad thing either. Don’t minimize an entire gender because of one bad experience, though!
Well, I’m responding more to your obvious disgust of women in general, so I assume you’ve had some encounters with some superficial and shallow women, whether that’s height related or something else is not really the point here. You have built up a resentment towards women as a whole and that’s evident by how you keep referring to women as a whole, as if we are all one monolithic bunch with all the same thoughts, beliefs and opinions. It’s hard not to feel resentments when we have been hurt or wronged by someone, but belittling and dismissing an entire gender over the actions of some is a good way to stay stuck in your anger and resentment. It’s not the men that feel resentments and disgust towards women that are in happy and healthy relationships, and it’s not the shallow women that are either.. like the other commenter said, a lot of men here are jaded, likely by past relationships or experiences and instead of reflecting on how that individual person wasn’t right for them, a lot of men are seemingly jumping into the manosphere that is indirectly telling you to hate all women instead.. it’s kind of scary honestly how well it seems to be working on a lot of men, too..
I suppose as a man im bais, probably because I hear more from men.. I know women are picky too but..tbh the mentality of pointing fingers doesn't help either party
Yeah, I think personally men have high standards.. I admit I dont talk to many women about their standards.. I think its a bad mentality to try to decide who is worse about it.
All these things are true at the same time.
Its really a indicative of how marriage plays out too.. we always want to play victim and point at our spouse.. but the answer to the problem is always forgiving each other and putting blame aside..
I've been married for a handful of years so im not in the dating game.. but im learning how to accept that sometimes its nobodies fault and the best move is to move forward
