Don't let it get to you. No matter what your flaws may be, nobody is perfect. The problem is here on the Western society, we grow up with the stigma that we're special and we deserve the best. This has created the disproportionate environment where we focus on everyone else's flaws, instead of their redeeming qualities.

A lot of cultures outside of Western (ie. Confucius) actually subscribe to equality; that we are all average people with flaws, living an average life. Even 10/10 attractive supermodels have flaws - it's our media culture who hides away such flaws.

There's nothing wrong with being average or mediocre, because in truth we're all flawed. There's nothing wrong with being short or flat chested. You'll eventually find someone who recognises your qualities and accept your flaws.

I wandered over on /r/tinder a few times, and... well... when did height become such a huge issue with people?

[–]shatonamime 328ポイント329ポイント  (55子コメント)

online dating. they can just weed people out based on this stat. Dating sites do surveys and keep track of stats and it is always in womens top thing of what they look for. Dating sites are almost always flooded with men so they carter to women to keep them there and happy. Cause if all the women left the dating sites, they would fail and it wouldn't work. On Tinder, you can't search by height, so it has to stated or asked right away.

Tall, attractive, and antisocial checking in: We are totally oblivious to the scope of women who would date us, and if you're like me we use some sort of apathy-based avoidance pattern to justify never pursuing women even when we can tell they are flirting with us.

We are monsters man. What's wrong with us.

[–]xxkoloblicinxx 472ポイント473ポイント  (146子コメント)

See, for tall guys they must have a seemingly legitimate reason not to be attacted ect.

When youre short, you get responses like "i dont date guys shorter than me." And when you dig deep you consistently get reasons like "well, if im with a short guy I can never wear heels." Meaning a huge chunk of women would rather wear heels with a tall guy they are 80% compatible with than not wear heels with a guy they are 95-100% compatible with.

You tell youself "their loss." But the 10th 11th time it happens. It starts to get to you. For me the worst one was a girl telling me she had been crushing on me for years. She came to ME! To confess her love. Only to finish by saying "But I could never date a guy whose shorter than me." Im 5'6". Shes barely 5'7". That was a slap in the face. But not uncommon.

Ladies, if you are gonna turn down a guy because hes short, lie. Say anything else. Id rather a woman just said she thinks I'm ugly. At least then I know I should wear a paper bag over my head while dating.

[–]jpark28 216ポイント217ポイント  (61子コメント)

You know what, I'm a 5'4 guy and I agree it absolutely sucks dating wise. This girl once told me that if I was 5 inches taller, I would be perfect for her because she loves my personality. But this is where I disagree with your last part. When she told me that, I was honestly a bit flattered. There's nothing I can do about my height, but if a girl says she likes everything about me besides my height, then I guess I'm doing everything else right that I can actually control.

We will find our soul mates fellow manlets, just be the best you can be! Or maybe we'll all just die alone or settle for someone we don't actually like because we're desperate. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Dude, you really don't want to date women that think like that anyways. Also, I'm pretty sure that a bunch of those women were lying and not being able to wear heels is an excuse.

[–]xxkoloblicinxx 29ポイント30ポイント  (5子コメント)

No, ive gotten that from women i was dating as well. I wont lie and say i havent had some luck with taller girls.

One of said girlfriends basically said "yeah i cant wear heels with you, but thats fine they're uncomfortable anyways." And its been echoed by almost every tall woman ive met with a shorter guy. Which makes it sound like i know a lot but theres really only been a handful.

Height has always been just about the #1 factor for how attractive a guy is, with jawline and income possibly more important.

There was a study at Duke that found an inch of height is worth $30,000 in income in terms of attractiveness (i.e. a guy that is 5'9" would have to make $30,000 more than a guy who is 5'10" to be as attractive)

They really don't. A guy once guessed my bra size was a 36C. I'm a 28G.

FYI Cup sizes is the difference between the tip and the chest area right below the boobs, so a skinny girl with c cup is not as voluptuous as people would imagine (think girl with c cup here)

So true. I want someone to fuck and be around when it's convenient, but I don't want the commitment and responsibility of having a significant other.

The problem is, even when you find someone that you just have sex with, they usually end up crossing the line and ask you to do couples stuff. And then you feel like an asshole for refusing and trying to reestablish boundaries.

Kyle, every boy pays for kisses. Do you know what I am saying? If you've got a girl, and she kisses you, sooner or later you're paying for it. You've gotta take her out to lunch, take her to a movie, and then spend time listenin' to all her stupid problems. Look, look at Stan right there. [Kyle turns to see Stan, who's listening to Wendy over at the merry-go-round] He's gotta sit there and listen to her stupid motherfuckin' problems 'cause she kisses him. If you ask me, that's a lot more than the five dollars my company charges.

"I couldn't date her because she wasn't even a C cup" - said no man, literally ever.

I wouldn't go that far, since there are probably a few boob fetishists out there. But yeah, the ratio of (1) girls who rule out men because they are short, to (2) men who rule out girls because they are small-chested is probably like 1000 to 1.

[–]HuckFinn69 536ポイント537ポイント  (51子コメント)

A more accurate reason for why he ruled her out would have been if she was fat, which is a far more common reason than boob size.

Yes, I agree. I am guessing they didn't do it that way because they wanted to make him seem very unreasonable in his requirements.

If this was me, I'd look at her and think a few things:

  1. She's very pretty, I like her red hair.
  2. She's probably already involved in a relationship, cute people usually are.
  3. I feel anxiety, keep on walking.

It's not an expectations problem that's keeping me single.

brutal savage rekt came first, and the gfycat link was NippyKindLangur, so then the dude said Nippy Kind Langur in which people made another gif. Then gfycat HQ did some meme magic and made the latter gif's url BrutalSavageRekt.

I would hope most men (taller or shorter) would never want to date a woman like one of these to begin with. They are vapid, self centered women that feel its ok to tell an entire demographic to kill themselves.

Im honestly blown away that so many women feel its ok to say this sort of shit. However maybe its a good thing they are making it public. It may help men in knowing who NOT to date.

If i were dating a man that told me he thought all tall women (or fat women, or short women, etc.) Should kill themselves, i would nope the fuck out of that relationship.

Most of my close female friends are dating men at or under 5'10". Same with me. Its fantastic.

[–]WeOwnTheSkyy 90ポイント91ポイント  (42子コメント)

We are all about 5'5" actually. Maybe a little shorter or a little taller. No really tall men in the group yet. I think we all prefer a guy closer to our height.

To be honest though none of us are dating a guy thats shorter than ourselves. Which isnt to say we would dismiss the opportunity to date someone shorter than ourselves, it just hasnt happened. I know a lot of handsome shorter dudes and they get ladies. I love hanging with them and listening to them chat about how they love to "climb trees" when it comes to taller women.

Sadly though it does seem that the shorter dudes (like 5'4" and under) definitely need to try way harder and have to exude way more confidence than nornal...which i can imagine is tiring. Much like how it must feel for flat chested (and these days flat-assed) women.

[–]over120kholyshit 93ポイント94ポイント  (27子コメント)

It seems to me that the 5'10'' requirement is WAY more common (and accepted) for women than any kind of breast size requirement that men have. Only the sleaziest, most disgusting men would even talk like this, even just around other men. It's completely acceptable for women, on the other hand, to have the 5'10'' requirement though. Some dating sites even allow them to specify this.

What is it with 5'10'' anyway? Is it a double digits thing?

Ignoring the fact Amy Schumer is in the video, this just shows the absurdity of height preference and that it exists.

If you watch the girl in the video, the one whose tinder profile is actually being used, you see that she lights up and starts to give a thumbs up as the guy is being described. He's a professional athlete, nice, ripped and from the profile picture, appears to be relatively good looking. As soon as it's mentioned that he is shorter than her, she completely shuts down, dismisses every other good thing that was mentioned, and the guy is rejected.

A ripped, professional athlete... rejected for being short.

I'm 5'8 and didn't believe "I won't date you based on your height." either.

Until I noticed my brother who is an attractive man have 0 luck with being noticed by girls. Like impossible. And pay attention to my word choice there. It's not keeping girls, or dating girls but just not having any first shot luck of being acknowledged.

He is 5'5 and he told me he's been dealing wit that a lot of his life. The fact is he is shorter than most women. Even my very loving girlfriend who is an inch taller than me said if I was any shorter she wouldn't be nearly as attracted to me. One of the only women he ever dated was shorter than him and I don't think he's had any major relationships after that.

Men's height is equivalent to breast size and tolerance for video games as far as importance goes between the sexes if you ask me. Some guys look great, are cool, could be the singer in a band, have money, great fashion sense but for some reason will strike out with ladies immediately as soon as he stands up and she is a head taller than him.

It's pretty cruel.

Someone on Reddit said this concerning this subject and bought up a good point. The last acceptable prejudice is height. If you call a woman too tall or too fat, then people will come to her aid. Call out a short dude and very few people if any will stick up for him. They may even join in. I think when people see a guy getting crap for something, they're less likely to help.

[–]I_did_it_there 149ポイント150ポイント  (42子コメント)

Great way to put it.

I have short guy friends and they have a shitty time of things..especially with online dating.. they keep reading "NO SHORT MEN" on most women's dating profiles...and if they even mention that they get looked over because of their height people mock them or pat them on the head and say "what an angry elf" .. it's really sad and nobody sees it as wrong.

5'6" guy here, I wasn't having any luck on dating websites and was kind of confused because I tend to do well otherwise in the dating scene (not-terrible looking guy, socially confident, in good shape, being a veterinarian is a good conversation starter). It turns out I probably wasn't showing up on about 80% of women's searches because they have the option of filtering their searches with a minimum height. I jumped over to a dating app that doesn't let you filter by height and doesn't show my height until after they've looked at my other information (Bumble)...I have three dates scheduled in the next week now. Most online dating sites are set up such that they totally fuck over short dudes because we're not just getting passed over, we're essentially invisible. I have zero chance of winning someone over if they are given the option to click a box to make sure my profile never even shows up in the first place.

Yeah, I think that most men don't think like the guy in the video. In terms of looks, the girl in the video is sufficiently attractive for perhaps 95% of men. To make the video more accurate, they should have made the girl like 45 years old and have the guy think "too old." Or have her be fat and have the guy think "too fat."

Women can hide true nature of their boobs with wonder bras and push ups and air pockets and wires and what not. They can shape them and size them in many ways.

All those romantic movies put the wrong notions into people's heads. That there is a perfect person for you, you just need to find him/her. Maybe we should have more movies about couples who don't fancy each other too much in the beginning, but they gradually discover the beauty in the other person.

[–]drewsufff 1866ポイント1867ポイント  (100子コメント)

That's like over half of romantic comedies. The two main characters can't seem to get along but towards the end they somehow end up together. Who would have seen it coming?!

But I know that's not what you're referring to, exactly. I think you're talking about starting at a relatively neutral point followed by a more mellow and steady process of falling in love.

[–]kcin 385ポイント386ポイント  (80子コメント)

[–]MrJohz 97ポイント98ポイント  (23子コメント)

I'd recommend watching British TV - there is a lot of stuff about relatively normal looking people doing relatively mundane things. Not a huge amount specifically about falling in love that I can think of off the top of my head, but there's plenty of romantic subplots in shows that feature really fairly average people that are engaging because of real character rather than because of beauty.

There's definitely exceptions, but shows like Utopia and Happy Valley manage this really well.

I would also like to see a movie like that. When my boyfriend and I met I didn't think he was cute in the face at all and he was so short, and I wondered if I was going to get used to his stupid jokes. Now he's the only man in the world who's ever treated me the way I've always expected my exes too but they never did. Some people need to try and look past certain things as first and get to know someone. After I fell in love with him now I think his face is so handsome. I also know many married couples who admit that their S.O. was never their type. They just got to know them and found love.

It's mostly women saying that about men, right?

[–]8_inches_deep 215ポイント216ポイント  (13子コメント)

I've only ever heard women say this.

[–]NoPeopleAllowed 201ポイント202ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because if men say this they don't have the woman for much longer.

I can't say that I was all that physically attracted to my fiancé initially. As a matter of fact I had a very beautiful woman ask me out the day after I met my fiancé but I turned her down. It was my fiancé's personality that attracted me more than her looks. Now I think she's the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

Finding an attractive person isn't all that hard but finding someone you click with on a mental and emotional level can be extremely difficult. As a young man I didn't get that but at 36 it's very clear to me now.

There was this weird reality show thing a couple of years ago (Married at First Sight) where these couples get paired together based on your standard dating app criteria and the first time they meet is on their wedding day in the first episode, then the rest of the show is about these couples trying to make a marriage work with a person they've literally just met.

Anyway one bride actually cried when she saw the groom (in a church full of their friends and family), now he wasn't a bad looking bloke but she was a solid 8/9 and he was a average 6/7, from what I can remember after the show had run its course and it played through all the standard reality show drama I believe they were the only couple that decided to stay together they stayed together as did another couple, the 3rd pair divorced.

I don't know exactly how much of the show was fake, maybe it was all heavily scripted who knows but I found it interesting nonetheless.

EDIT: Just looked it up on Wikipedia, they apparently stayed together and even announced they were having a child this year but lost it.

Sad how true this is. Everyone is looking for the "perfect" person and puts up unreasonable expectations. Are you looking to date robots or a human being? Because if it's the latter then you should realize that no one is perfect and you'll have to accept someone's flaws eventually or you'll be alone. The fact of the matter is people are raised to wait for the "perfect girl" or for "prince charming" as if they're entitled to it, when in reality unless you're rich and look like a model, the perfect girl/prince charming would never settle for you.

I've seen so many single people comment on couples saying "woah he/she could do so much better" and "how are they together but I'm single". Maybe the person you laugh at with physical flaws is a better person than you. This is why many dating apps are seen as a joke. It's 6/10's only looking for 10/10's and then being mad they get played by the 10/10 who knows they can do better than a 6 and only look for a hook up from them. Some of the best conversations and connections I've had were with "average" girls.

On the opposite end of the spectrum I have a friend who found her Prince Charming, he's a handsome guy, but he's dim witted as fuck, doesn't have a career path, and doesn't know how to hold a conversation like I would never invite them over because they're dull as fuck. So at this point you're just with him because he looks good? You could see why these relationships don't last.

[–]5adie5axton 118ポイント119ポイント  (11子コメント)

Meh, the relationship might last, but they'll feel really dumb one day when they realize their super hot spouse now looks just like every other fucking old person and their life is insufferably boring.

[–]not_charles_grodin 116ポイント117ポイント  (10子コメント)

looks just like every other fucking old person and their life is insufferably boring.

But it's that life in general? That's what throws me about finding Ms. Right/Mr. Right -- you just need to find someone who you don't mind shagging and get along with. Fire burns out relatively quickly, no matter how much you try to keep is going. What lasts is the friendship and teamwork.

Find someone with whom you can fucking deal with every god damn day and still want to get off with fairly regularly. Try to be as fit as them and have overlapping interests. It's not fucking rocket science: try to be the better version of you most of the time and hope they do the same. Sometimes you'll succeed, sometimes you'll fail, but you'll do that shit together. That's all a fucking relationship is. The rest is just Hollywood bullshit to make single people think life is harder than it is.

My only requirement is they have to be a women, but I'm getting a bit lenient about that these days.

I thought I was the only one. After 3 years of being desperately single I'm starting to think "He's cute, if he had the same interests as me I might be inclined to.... Wait I thought we were straight?"

[–]commiecomrade 37ポイント38ポイント  (3子コメント)

"If gay dudes could deal with a straight relationship decades ago to not be found out then maybe I can pull it off the other way around"

I regret to say I've thought this before.

It used to be that simply devoting time to each other and getting along well was enough for two people to be satisfied with each other.

Now you're constantly being judged against a million other potential partners who are blowing up their phone 24/7. You're doing the same thing even if you don't realize it. Every time you get bored and open up Tinder or some other app and start scrolling through people to kill time. It's a sickness.

Life is so much better when you don't interact with people online too much and keep texting with a partner to a minimum. Face to face interaction with no distractions. Meeting someone in real life and asking them out is so much more satisfying than matching on Tinder.

Currently seeing someone I came across on a dating site but already had met in real life before. It's better than any of my online relationships. When the first time you ever see someone is after basically deciding to have sex with each other after flirting on tinder it just doesn't compare to the feeling of getting butterflies around someone and having that develop into more.

I get where they're going with this, but a lot of men would not reject a girl over tit size, especially not if she's attractive and fairly cool. It's far more common in my experience for women to reject men for ridiculous criteria like height. This paints a picture where both sexes judge the same, and it always seems to me that women are the more discerning over 'superficial' attributes. And i'm not even getting into how many women reject a man on the basis of his status and income lol.

Based on some data from OKCupid, you are correct.

https://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dating/

I have thought this for years and that blog post confirmed it.

My criteria? Don't be a religious nut, don't be overweight, don't have any drug/smoking habits. That's literally it. Then it comes down to their personality being a good match for mine.

But it's ridiculously hard to even get to the first date. Because I have something, not sure, something that turns girls off.

I have posted to multiple sub reddits with throw aways and had people critique my profiles from all over the world.

Everyone said my pictures were great and my profiles were well written. The conversations I did get started were just fine. My openers were original. The major critique was I need to gain some weight and hit the Gym. That was fair. So I did join a Gym 3 months ago and am starting to see some great progress.

Fuck, even this time around, OKC said I was among their highest rated male users.

God, is it fucking exhausting. I'm not even sure I want it anymore.

[–]Returnofthemack3 235ポイント236ポイント  (38子コメント)

unless you're super attractive and/or high status, online dating is a total shit show for men honestly. I don't even bother with it. You'll see more success improving yourself and meeting women irl. But yeah, the dating game sucks and I partially blame online dating as a major factor. Even below average women get swamped with messages of interest on those sites; it's like a literal buffet of cocks and they have all the power.

[–]computerguy0-0 72ポイント73ポイント  (20子コメント)

buffet of cocks

Ahaha, I'm going to use this.

Yup, I really need to find a real place where more single mid 20's-30's females exist. I don't run into any at the dozens of companies I work at or any other time during my daily life. I need to make a change to the places I physically am, just not sure what/where yet.

My living room is a terrible place to pick up women - This is anecdotal of course, but I'm almost sure of it at this point.

[–]Fugggu 434ポイント435ポイント  (69子コメント)

The funny thing is that there are some guys that like small boobs. Some guys prefer big boobs. Some guys like short girls, others prefer tall girls. Some guys say skinny girls are cute, others want girls with curves or even chubby girls.

But I have NEVER EVER heard a girl saying: "I like short guys".

For me the discussion on which gender is superficial is clear with this little example.

[–]samsonkeane[🍰] 132ポイント133ポイント  (12子コメント)

Thats true in general. Look at the male characters in romance novels, and compare that to the massive variety of body types that are offered for men on porn sites. For all the talk about women being culturally pressured to have a certain body type, it appears it is the male body that has much less wiggle room for what is considered attractive.

Heck the only people you'll find who are sexually attracted to a wide variety of male body types are gay men.

I forget where on reddit I read this, but this guy was super insecure about his weight and this guy replied and was just really supportive and was like, "Remember, no matter how bad you feel there are literally bars where men go to meet guys with your exact body type because they're that into men who look like you," and I was like, "Aww that's sweet." Then I remembered there are no bars like that for straight guys.

It's actually funny because I'm bi and I've had various discussions with women I've been with about preference for guys. When i tell them I don't really care about height, if the rest of the guy is awesome (esp. personality), they look at me like I'm insane.

The shit I've heard man... One ex told me she rejected a guy because of his hands... Over half of the women I've been with have been openly disgusted at guys under 6'... In fact, a lot of them have noted me as so low they're practically "settling" for height, but the rest of me compensates for it... I'm 6'1... Like, wtf I seriously don't get it. Ok, some of them were quite tall. If you're a 6'chick, sure but some of them were like 5'2... And they are so adamant about it. Like, one ex rejected a guy who was frankly incredible... like he was one in a million attractive and was a cool guy... and she rejected him because he is 1 inch under her limit... 1 inch!!!

I'm at a loss... I'll never get this.

The reality is that the guy wouldn't give 2 shits about the breast size.

The other reality is that girl could find her "ideal" boyfriend pretty easily where that guy is fucked lmao.

lol right? It'd be easier to stomach if the guy was some attractive high powered executive, but him? Some average unfit looking motherfucker? Unless he's absolutely insane he's probably not rejecting girls because their tits are a tad too small rofl. This is not reflective of any reality i've inhabited

Yeah pretty much, I get about one match every 50 right swipes, and that's actually reading profiles, left swiping on anything that seems fake, or girls that are definitely out of my league.

I watched one of my friends who's a girl swipe right on 5 guys and get 5 matches, and she's not even what most would consider a super attractive girl or anything.

[–]kharper4289 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

Women have such a huge back-log of right-swipers that they need to go through 30-40 just to get to fresh material (people that haven't seen their profile yet and swiped right already).

[–]warpedchi 437ポイント438ポイント  (75子コメント)

Thank you. You see this so much on reddit. "Women don't like short guys the same way guys don't like girls with small breasts." Yeah, sure, those two demographics are totally in the same ballpark population wise.

[–]adtrinis 26ポイント27ポイント  (3子コメント)

There are a lot more women with height requirements than men with breast requirements I think.

[–]BigShooterGaming 22ポイント23ポイント  (3子コメント)

98% of women won't date a 5'2" man. With every inch, you gain about 5% of the dating pool. That's legit the main driving force of dating for women. Go look outside, you'll see fugly ass dudes with hot short women literally because they are a foot taller. It's weird.
