Ladies, what would you forego tallness for, when considering a potential partner?

Do you not have a face pic and only have a template profile? Most women want to know more about you than that no matter whether you are short or tall. Q

I agree with Q. We need to know more. A well thought out profile with detail is far more of a criteria than height.

Give a girl more details...you'll pique her interest If a profile has no pics for me to see, and a majority of "ask me's"...I don't look any further (not at physical attributes or personal preferences - "intimate/lifestyle") You can't change who you are...you're viability is going to be based on your looks and what you chose to share about yourself and what you're looking for. That's going to attract some, but not interest others. Everyone's looking for different things.

Comes before physical appearance and physique when I choose a potential partner, whether it be a casual or a serious one. I don't care if a man was Hugh Jackman look alike (physical wise), if he didn't have any respect for others, especially for women, and if he could not speak to me without using swearing words in every line, then he's not for me! Many moons ago, I used to have one date with a man whom didn't show any respect for me at all by: 1) smoking non-stop in front of me; 2) had beer after beer within the two hours of that date; 3) used a lot of "F" word in every single sentence he said! Too many that I felt like I couldn't hear any other words he said at the end of that date! Clearly I wasn't his type, which was all good, but he didn't need to behave like that just to show me that he was not interested! Therefore, degbc, my answer to your question is, I would go for a man who has respect for others and don't care if he's tall or not :) - Posted from rhpmobile

Good advice from above. Change your profile and see if it makes s difference. Just be honest about your height. You say you have a nice face well capitalise on that too have a couple of smiling pics. Specially cheeky smiles. That gets me. Best of luck

Terrible date that one. Sorry to hear that. But why did you hang out for two hours? I would have walked away before he finished lighting his first cigarette.

you are looking younger and younger each time. nice profile pic. obviously, your current health regime works for you . hope you are well and staying healthy. look after yourself as I know you have big parental responsibilities most of us are unable to comprehend the dedication you have. Respect to you. X

Quoting 'sweetgem' Many moons ago, I used to have one date with a man whom didn't show any respect for me at all by: 1) smoking non-stop in front of me; 2) had beer after beer within the two hours of that date; 3) used a lot of "F" word in every single sentence he said! Too many that I felt like I couldn't hear any other words he said at the end of that date! Clearly I wasn't his type, which was all good, but he didn't need to behave like that just to show me that he was not interested! was he aware of how distasteful you found all those things? I just ask because I know people who talk like that, drink like that, and smoke like that. They're not bad people - but definitely not for me. It's just them, like incessant gum chewers. It doesn't hurt me, but it grates - like people who swear as much as others say 'um' or 'like'. It's so ingrained in their way of life they don't even think about it. If smoking was being done deliberately to irk me, I'd have left well before a few hours passed. (I hope nobody has thought my drinking of girly cocktails was offensive, maybe they'd made other assumptions, but not that it was to be offensive)

In my book anyway... Not sure if this will help you with your profile though. Xx

Had to elude to a dick reference in there eh lol Well, you say you want to be your best version of 5'8".... then you say you want to increase your "viability". Blunt hammert of truth coming from a brother, here and now. Those two comments suggest insecurity to me. If your best is or isn't viable to someone you don't know, that's not of your concern. After all, It's still your best. Right?!!! Some people like height. Some like money, some like beards, some like hipsters, some like druggies etc Are you going to chase what other people's preferences just to be liked a little more?! Faaaaaark that. It's a never ending pursuit of other people's choices, not yours. Sure, you can tidy yourself up, present well, speak eloquently, be witty, intelligent and charming.... if that's who you are, who you choose to be and who you want to be. Otherwise, it just comes across as a facade, incongruous and insincere and people DO notice those things. Focus on you. And others will admire you, for you. And if they don't, it doesn't matter. 😎 - Posted from rhpmobile

Kisses for your kind words of support, plus your compliment on my profile pic 😙😙 eating right does help heaps in keeping me healthy physically, but having a calm and relaxing mindset plays the ultimate magic on maintaining my youthful looks 😛 As for why I stayed for two hours on that awful date, well, I wanted to see how badly a grown man (he was in his mid 30s and I was in my mid 20s) could behave, as it was the first time I had ever had such a shocking date lol - Posted from rhpmobile

I don't know if the guy was aware or not of how distasteful I found on those things he did, as I didn't tell him a word about his behaviour because, it is not something I would do to a stranger whom I had just met :) but I did show my body language by moving away a little, a few times, from the direction of where the smoke from his smoke flew, and I frowned more and more along the conversation, well, more like me sitting at an adult play school and listening to someone telling adult stories 😕 - Posted from rhpmobile

Welcome to shortarse corner. There's a thread about it. From where I stand (and yes I am standing, even though it may not look like it) five eight is not that short. Cheers - Posted from rhpmobile

that's not that short, and wouldn't bother me if i got along with someone I'm reasonably short and I've dated guys the same height as me. For some its an issue for others its not , you cant be everyone's cup of tea and you can't make yourself grow taller so simply keep trying - edit your profile as suggested and I'm sure you'll come across some who don't mind.

You're taller than me and that's what I usually aim for, plus a whole string of other things too. Much more about the personality for me, but I do prefer someone at least my height. 💋

Now I'm picturing Summer dressed up as Snow White, being trailed by dwarves begging her for sex! As for me, height isn't even on my list of attributes when it comes to what I'm interested in. Personality, interests, and the ability to hold a decent conversation with me are the things that I find engaging. - Posted from rhpmobile
