Do you think there is a perfect height ratio between men and women?

I'm a woman who's dated tall, short, and in-between. A good man is a good man, and that's all that matters. One thing you don't want to care about: "looking" any particular way, this or that. You could be learning Mandarin or taking an old lady's dog for a walk with all that wasted time and energy.

Because a lot of the sexless marriages on DCUM are the result of people who have lost the attraction for each other.

Or never had it in the first place and thought it didn't matter because they had a 'good man'. They are learning the hard way it takes more than that.

I'm a female on the shorter side (5 foot 3) and find myself mostly attracted to taller men (6 feet +)

No, but there's an optimal ratio between the size of a woman's breasts and the height of a man she attracts. So, OP: How big are your breasts?

I'm not OP, but at 5'5 with 36DD boobs, I've never had trouble attracting tall men.

I'm 5'5 with an A cup. Never had trouble attracting men who are tall. Shortest guy I ever dated is 6'0.

So... your theory is flawed.

As long as you don't care about her weight, fine.

I don't, as long as she's physically fit -- which is generally something within her control and indicative of her approach to life. Height has nothing to do with your approach to life and it's purely genetic.

Saying "I only date men of X height" would be like saying "I only date men of X race" or "I only date men with X hair color". It marks you as a vapid moron.

Not really.

If you want tall offspring with all the social and health benefits that entails, a tall husband is a smart choice.

Right. Like a white husband. Can't get white privilege without a white father.

I haven't seen an argument in favor of height that doesn't track pretty much exactly with an argument in favor of being of the dominant race. Tall people, like white people, have unearned privileges. Short men, like non-whites, are the subject of discrimination. You are perfectly free to express that you only want to date tall men just as you are perfectly free to express that you don't want to date non-whites. But, people might think you are small minded in each situation.

I don't think anyone who wants to date people of a certain height or race is small minded, and especially not if its people of their own race. A woman's vagina doesn't need to be equal opportunity just to prove something to you.

Sure, as a black female, when I think of an oppressed minority, short white men spring to mind.

That chip on the shoulder thing is making more and more sense.

LOL!

Its not my fault, I have no control over it, I just have to make the best of all my other assets and accept the fact that life is unfair and I will never be sought-after by men who are highly sought-after themselves.

Short or shorter men need to realize that they will find some compatible people, but they need to set their sights lower to take into account the unappeal of their immutable shortness.

Exactly. Women are not attracted to short men. #DealWithIt Life is not a fairytale, you do not just get everything you want because you want it. You have to accept the cards you were dealt.

What's important is how well you match physically when in the HORIZONTAL position. Seriously - see sexless marriages threads for what life is like if that is not right.

Nope. If I am not attracted to you physically, we will never get to
the horizontal part.

Exactly.

I think short men are best. Ideally they should be 4" or more shorter than the woman. Their shortness is a visual symbol of their inferiority.

Hahhahaha. It's already obvious men are inferior though. Might as well get a hot one since they arent bringing much else to the table!

Dated tall. Married my height. He's dreamy as hell. I think I'm his shortest partner, too. Guess we both "settled."

Men don't care about dating tall women though. At least the vast majority.

In fact, all I hear from my tall female friends is about guys who WONT date them because of their height. Seems like men and women have opposite height preferences

Yes, and it's incredibly stupid. I suspect that stuff like this matters less and less as you get older and don't give a flying hoot what other people think. I suppose the fact that we started dating in our 30s helped us get over ourselves already. (I did date tall men in my 20s and probably would've 'worried' more about appearances with a short man, then, too. Later, I simply did. not. care. what other people thought, and this liberation carried over into other parts of my life and decisions, too. Highly recommend. )
