Curious:

Are you short or something??? What's your problem w/women desiring for taller men. That is there preference so let it be.

Jeez, such ignorance you put amongst asian women being short. You clearly have a lot of issues. No matter short or tall, women in general find taller men attractive. That's plain and simple! However, we didn't say that we wouldn't prefer a short guy w/a good heart over a taller guy who treats us bad did we?

So, just chill...

I'm a 5'8" K-Am guy and I work out. My muscles aren't overinflated (meaning that I'm muscular, but lean-N-mean), I have a tight waist, and a broad, V-tapered back. I weigh about 160. I have great posture and as a result, I and believe I look at least an inch taller. I'm not the tallest guy in the world, but I reek of masculinity, and I'm quite confident. Women always notice, and taller guys are often intimidated by me. To the guys that are under 5'9" -- try working out (but don't get muscle-bound). It will help your self-confidence. I guarantee that you will notice the difference.

Some woman said,

"If he's too short, then we have to lower our hips [when having sex], which puts a lot of pressure on our lower backs."

Girl... all I gotta say is that you must be out of shape. Can you not support your own weight, coz yo' booty's supa-sized or something? Try some squats at the gym. It builds your lower back and tones up your buttocks and quads beautifully.

PS: Despite ur BS claims, I like the idea of having a 5'3" girl for one reason. When we're both standing, you'll be face to face with my cock-N'-ballz -- good for some you know what, whenever I want. J/k.
What a load of crap. I'm a 5'11" AM and my girl is a 5'10" AF Tuesday, August 21, 2001 at 13:22:50 (PDT)

There are those girls who believe that they look so "cute" when they are with gigantic guys..

I think those girls consider that an ideal relationship is one in which women are treated like a "pet" or a "doll".

Leave them as they are.

By the way I am a Japanese female that were born and bred in Japan. So excuse me for a poor English.

i can undertand why women like taller men. I mean a few inches taller is very reasonable and natural, but a foot taller is a bit screwed up..in my book.

There's gotta be a name for this type of complex. Wonder if there's a cure?

I dont think Asians are that short. Maybe the descendants of SouthEast Asians. I certainly wouldnt call a tall Asian guy a FREAK. Then me and all my bros and cousins would be freaks, including my relatives in Beijing. F..k that. I'm no freak. I prefer girls 5'7" and above, actually.

Short women talk too much anyways!

Short Women seek Taller Men to Compensate for their Lack of Self-Esteem. Period. Give me a break, dont tell me sex is better, etc.. Just say the truth. It's the same reason why many Asian women seek White men - to compensate for their lack of self-esteem.

Just be happy with who you are. If you can ever achieve this, you'll wake to a much brighter day!!

hey A Woman's Perspective,
a 5'3" woman paired with a 6' man?!

i hope you get run over

"There's several reasons why we adore taller men. Why do you think all the male models are over average height?"
AF who loves taller men

thats gotta be one of the most shallow things ive ever heard

hey Short girls,

how can you even tell if a man is 5'7 or 5'9 or 6'0 when you're around 5'1-5'3? Just curious? Wouldnt they all seem like giants to you?

Obviously you can, because you laugh at the 5'7 guys, dont really care too much for the 5'9 dude and flock to the 6'0 dude, who can't even look into your eyes without straining his neck. Pathetic. Why??? Whats wrong with being average height or slightly below? What's the big deal. I find that Short Asian women have this issue more so than any other kind of women. This shows Asian women's general lack of self-esteem relative to other women. No wonder so many are sellouts! Pathetic if you ask me.
Curious Sunday, August 19, 2001 at 11:37:06 (PDT)

hey Asian f,22
if asians are generally short, then shouldnt the tall ones be considered freaks?
do most of you have to reject 90% of the asian male population who you consider short? i dont think there are enough 6' asian guys to go around for each and every one of you 5' women

One of the reasons we love taller men is it makes sex better. If your mate is much taller, say 6'0 when you are 5'3 for example, then it feels better from behind or when having sex standing up because the angle is nicer. If he's too short, then we have to lower our hips, which puts alot of pressure on our lower backs. Not too mention how nice it feels snuggling in his arms when sleeping in bed together.

Peace,

I heard that Shaq asked Anna Kournikova twice, I also heard he got turned down twice.
Phil Guy 19 Friday, August 17, 2001 at 12:23:43 (PDT)

I'm 5'11" ChA male. I dont consider myself tall..just about avg. I can't stand short asian women who have something against men that are close to their height range. Get a clue will you? It makes me sick to hear a 5'2" asian girl point out a 5'7" asian male's deficiencies (height) and laugh about how short he is.

I seem to only notice Asian girls do this..at least consistently. It shows their lack of respect for Asian men, and their inflated egos around Asian men. Nothing else.

Because Asians are generally short, we tend to seek a partner that is much taller or find taller people a lot more attractive.

Actually, Shaq has no problems getting dates. He just keeps it low to whom he's dating. He doesn't want all those freaky paparrazi photographers flying all around him.
