Problem with this is to import a woman you must marry her...Winstar, So, where would you go to find women then? I'd think http://www.loveme.com would be a great idea to travel and meet women. Do you travel to meet women?

This is true. I just found it to be unethical, but its totally true.I personally find my dating scene getting laid success rate increases by making sure I get some regularly with SP or freebies
I remember a Tom Leykis quote that 92% of women are dissatisfied with their bodies.Always remember, women in general are themselves very sensitive about their looks (with all society/environmental factors being pushed on them), and the majority are also not confident with their looks/appearance.
Once again, the ladies says the same thing, almost unanimously. How many more times does it have to be repeated guys.This is the thread that will not end
It just goes on and on my friend
I started reading it not knowing what it was
And I'll be reading it forever just because
This is the thread that will not end....
Sorry. Now I'll have that song stuck in my head all day.
I've been following this thread and have just a couple thoughts for you guys, from a civilian who is almost 5'11 barefoot.
To those of you who truly believe you are inherently undateable, you are. For no other reason than that's what you believe. Blame your height, blame your grandmother's womb, blame society if you must, but...the blame is yours. Your own self-loathing is what makes you unattractive. If you have physical shortcomings you can more than balance those out with other attributes...smart? funny? kind? There are a lot more important things about a man than how he looks. I've known some very handsome men who were ugly as sin on the inside, and they are either alone or attached to shallow women who only care about how a guy looks. Guess what, gentlemen...looks fade, even for men.
I once worked with a guy who was about 5'4 and not particularly handsome. He was one of the sexiest, most attractive men I've ever known, because he was completely charming and at-ease in his own skin. I never dated him because we worked together, but 20+ years later I still wish I had.
Height...if I refused to date men shorter than myself, I'd restrict my dating pool quite a bit. This thread does make me wonder how many men don't approach me because of my height...I have been told I'm intimidating, and I guess that's the height because I'm really perfectly nice.
Maybe you guys should stop looking for excuses, and start thinking about something besides yourselves. Go volunteer somewhere, make your world bigger, and start looking at women in terms of whether she's good enough for you, not the other way around. It's all in the attitude.
Of course, we need you to point it out to us once again.Once again, the ladies says the same thing, almost unanimously. How many more times does it have to be repeated guys.
the problem with these guys is that developing confidence has no simple answer. excuses are used by peopleOnce again, the ladies says the same thing, almost unanimously. How many more times does it have to be repeated guys.
it does seem obvious but women and men here stating the importance of confidence have largely been ignored.Of course, we need you to point it out to us once again.
for one thing we are talking dating not marriage.Sillygirl if confidence was so influential as you make it out to be, then we would see more than 1-2% of married couples were the woman is taller than the man. That is currently the accepted statistic on the % of couples in North America with taller wives. I am sure you will not dispute women's overwhelming preference for a taller mate for which confidence will not sway that. Hollywood movies love to do the love story thing were someone overcomes what appears insurmountable odds to find love. Great romance BUT in the real world VERY long odds. Anything is possible. The real question is what is PROBABLE. I guess I am too much dwelling on the probable. I agree, if I dwelled more on the possible, I would be more motivated. HELL .... we did not get to the moon because of what was probable.... BUT because what was possible.
Considering that the average height of the North American male is taller than the average height of the North American female, DUH!!!! Looking even on the world stage it's much the same. Males are generally taller than females by 4-6 inches.Sillygirl if confidence was so influential as you make it out to be, then we would see more than 1-2% of married couples were the woman is taller than the man.

If you're responding to my post, I'm not quite sure how your post makes a difference. Women are generally shorter and if they want to socialize with men, the chances are the men will be taller. Get over it, get out there, and work on your personality. If you've got a personality of a slug, the chances are that you'll only attract female slugs.The currently accepted stat is 3.7-3.8% from official records. Also the parity number due to height differentials is 8.55%
484/12989 =3.7%
1111/12989=8.55%
You're telling me a nationally representative sample of 10,000+ people is wrong?
Therefore you have to take demographics into account before saying its only 1-2% (even though, at worst its 3+%). 3.7/8.55=43%, not 3.7% (and perhaps higher now as per PSID/Microtrends).
If anything, this shows how much social data humans assume from social norms, rather than reality. Unfortunately, we (I) am human, and have the same biases. And just as unfortunately, other people having the same biases leads to increased social heckling that a taller man/shorter woman will never have had to face. Etc etc.
