Like a lot of people (I suspect), I think I have a type but my relationship history has always seemed to completely negate it.

I suppose common interests and all that.

I still think physical attraction is necessary no matter how much in common you have with someone

It's an unfunny novelty account ripped from reddit. There is thousands of that type of account there. It's most certainly not original

I think some people get into relationships with 'less attractive' people because it makes them feel less threatened in the relationship. They don't have to wonder is the other person being chatted up/tempted away when they're not around.
It also takes the pressure off you to have to try and maintain the best version of yourself

You can be a tall guy with a large body frame (hence broad shoulders) and still be more 'cuddly' in proportions.
Conversly I know lots of weedy guys who live in the gym and eat protein every 5 seconds. They're small and muscular but will never have the amazing broad shoulders of a well built 6 footer

I'm happily rail thin, I've got tiny boobs and a tiny butt, and I'm quite happy with that. I'd rather that than a lifetime of watching my weight, and I've never envied bustier or rounder girls. I think the very slim figure ages better too.

We get it, you're slim.

I love hair on a man! I'd find it weird if they shaved their legs, chest etc! Honestly if a man shaved his chest, I'd be turned off!

And I like redheads and gingers with a beard would be nom.

Ah it depends. A lot of modern weightlifting routines are ridiculous. Old fashioned weightlifting sessions built huge shoulders.

I voted Chubby/Portly but that isn't really it for me. I like a guy who is 6ft and taller and bulky without being exactly muscular or chubby. I like to feel like am being protected. Think John Cusack, Ben Affleck or Will Smyth.

Bruce lee is quite short which as a tall girl wouldn't be an issue for me but oh he had an amazing body!

My friends father had all the Bruce Lee movies and we used to watch them at sleepovers and I just thought he had an amazing body.

beks101

Athletic but not overstatedly so. A celeb example would be Michael Fassbender *dribble*

Anything resembling Schwarzenegger and he may as well be female, absolute zilch sexual attraction for that level of gym muscle. Equally any major paunch does absolutely nothing for me.

I think it's a lifestyle thing. I can think of nothing more brain-numbingly boring than sitting in doing press-ups and counting macros with my fella on a Friday night, but I wouldn't be one for heading down the pub and knocking back ten pints followed by a snack box every weekend either. I've always needed someone who can be active with me, but who enjoys food and doesn't see it as a chore.

Summer wind

Tall and dark with lovely broad shoulders and a nice smile.

There is a bit of defensiveness in this thread. Most interesting.


We all have different tastes. If a man isn't attracted to my shape that's just how it goes. If I'm not attracted to his that's ok too. Although really as long as he is tall and not obese I'm happy. In fact I can simplify it further and say as long as chemistry exists and he is kind then I'm happy.

It's extremely depressing that as a shorter man I'll never be any girls ideal partner. It doesn't help that it is considered okay by both men and women to denigrate shorter men for possessing an undesirable trait they can do nothing about and which they probably despise themselves for.

Joke away. I'm more numb to it now than you'd believe. You know a situation is bad when you have to admit to yourself that many people consider you worthless, if only at a subconscious level.

That's like a guy saying I love big boobs, I need at least a d cup. Think he will turn down a girl becuase he boobs are smaller than a d cup?

I appreciate your reply which wasn't vitriolically defensive nor dissmissive of the reality of something which hurts me very deeply.

I don't even have things as bad as some (about 5'7 max) but I must say that if you were my height or lower you would know this is not a apt comparison. Height is something very important to women in a partner, breast size is of no importance to me and I would guess of very little importance to most men. And the fact that women are allowed by society to enhance their height but men aren't only compounds the problem.
And you can't put on any excess weight because you look proportionally worse than a man who is taller who puts on excess weight. Nor does adding a lot muscle to your body enhance your appearance in the way it might do for someone taller - you just look out of proportion. And get people sneering at you for having a "napoleon complex". So basically you must spend your whole life living with a trait you can never like about yourself and only brings downsides but for which you get told by average height and taller people that it "doesn't matter".

anyway, dragging thread off here, sorry ...

You said you would be less nervous approaching someone with smaller boobs though.

That's not short. It's slightly below average at worst.

I'm a woman who is also below average height. You'd be plenty taller than me, and plenty taller than a lot of my friends.

I know lots of men around your height in very happy relationships, one of whom even married a very hot women who is 5'10". Shock horror. My own Dad is much smaller than you and my mam is around your height!

Honestly, don't be worrying about your height, unless your no 1. deal breaker is for your women to be 6ft then you're not really going to face much of a challenge just because of you're no Devin Toner.

If you're 5'7 I really think you're letting this get to you waaaaay too much; this is your hang up (not their requirement), and there's tonnes of women out there happily date you. Look at Prince for godsake, he was a sex symbol and was 5'.

The difficulty I'd say is that you're letting it affect your thinking when you're interacting with women, and therefore it's having an affect on your confidence, which will turn a woman straight off.

Great thing about women is they are much more forgiving (in general) than men; they want to be with a hot guy, but their definition of hot is much more varied.

I'd actually say my max height is tiny bit below 5'7, I'm probably about 5'6.75 on average and trust me you can feel the difference. Even if whatever height I am incidentally happened to be considered "forgiveable" by a small percentage of women, it doesn't stop it being the case that at some point along the descending scale of height, men of a certain height start to face a situation where they receive very little sexual interest. Celebrities etc. aside, a man of 5 foot 2 is going to find it tough, to put it mildly. And I'm sure any 5'2 celebrity man would trade every bit of fame/riches/female attention to be say 5'10. Strange thing is I barely noticed my height until I saw all the stuff people would say online about short people, so maybe I am brainwashed to a certain degree (social media/ internet age upping peoples standards for attractiveness, increased social compeititon and a huge increase in average height of males in the last 15 years are probably at the root of peoples opinions nowadays). Thank you both for your replies though.

Sorry man, you can't change physical attributes, but you can change your attitude for sure. That's not a dig in any way btw, just echoing the points Tigger made.

The reality is that most people have something they dislike about themselves. Yes, it's not ideal if pinning your hopes on being the social norm, but low self esteem will hinder you way more.

Nah, sure look, plenty of men wouldn't be in to my shape I'm sure. But that doesn't mean I should take it to heart when I've got this unbelievablyamazing personality (jk), and my body is exactly what some men really do love.

Chin up, chest out, and smile (not like a crazy person you understand!!!). Don't be defined by what you can't change

(and btw, I'm not belittling your concerns. I would have been quite low on the old self esteem myself when I was younger so I do get it.)

We all have ideals and preferences when it comes to attraction but that's not what we fall in love with. Chemistry is about so much more. A 6'4 hairy man beast would be great but the last guy I was mad about was a skinny 5'8.

I do empathise with you because we live in a world where so much emphasis is placed upon how we look. Really it comes down to the old cliché of loving yourself and being comfortable in the body you have. I don't have a tiny waist and a D cup but what I do have is mine and I'm proud of it.

Witchie

I say I want a tall bear of a man, but that is like my ideal. That said, my last boyfriend was the same height as me (5' 7) and a skinny wee thing and we were very happy.

So again to reiterate what others have said, while we are talking about our ideals, that doesn't mean we won't consider others outside of that. I myself, as an auld overweight hallion have to depend on a guy getting to know me before I have any romantic chances.

I asked a friend of mine this question. He is in his 40s. His answer was 'I have no idea, but it is great fun finding out'.

Small men are cute. I dated someone who was smaller than me and I'm pretty small. I never even noticed about his height. I don't think it bothered him either. Stop worrying so much.
