<p>Also, rd2012… if you’re a guy referencing cosmo… hahahahhaha</p>
<p>that doesn’t work because girls will only be attracted to me because of my money. it sucks that just because I’m short, a girl will never be attracted to me because of my physical qualities; i’ll have no choice but to compensate by becoming rich.</p>
<p>So this is all about a wounded ego? </p>
<p>And not transmitting your smart-genes to the future generation so that the world doesn’t go to sugar? That’s just so selfish.</p>
<p>yeah, it’s not really a wounded ego, but it is a shattered confidence. unfortunately, girls really don’t find intelligence attractive, even though they claim to. if you are wondering why i’m raging it’s because some girl was telling me that i was too short.</p>
<p>Stop whinning. Statistics don’t mean anything. Take a guess as to why most of them are tall? I’ll answer that for you. Because they are CONFIDENT and don’t whine as much as you do. If you really want to be a CEO, then grow some balls and be confident. You’re perpetuating the cycle by whining about something so trifling. BTW, I’m 5’7 </p>

<p>This is sad.
I think intelligence and drive are hot - and I don’t just “claim” this.
I’ll admit that I’m uncomfortable dating a guy shorter than me, but I definitely value smarts above height.</p>
<p>yeah I agree with retro, a guy who is intelligent is much more attractive to me. I think ambition is what I’m drawn to the most and confidence. I don’t really concentrate on height too much. I just feel that there are more important things to look for in a guy than arbitrary factors such as appearance. I also feel that if you exhibit confidence, which some people correlate to height, girls will naturally become turned on by your charisma. So, just try being confident, and in the end, everything will work out.</p>
<p>You really think no girl will go for you? Your cynical attitude and pessimistic personality is the reason girls will not go for you. </p>
<p>I’m a 5’6 girl and I’ve dated plenty of guys that were my height or a few inches taller. No, I wouldn’t go for a guy who is shorter, but you’re 5’7! Youre taller than 90% of all girls. If you’re not getting girls it’s not because of your height.</p>
<p>^well said whatdamcf.</p>
<p>I’m 5’10" does that mean I’ll earn $3k/year more than you? No. I agree with the person who said earlier that the only way your height is going to affect you is by inducing a sense of insecurity, if anything.</p>

<p>Same here, except I’m a sophomore. It’s a rare occasion for me to go one school day without someone telling me I’m cute… my personality kind of lends itself to the adjective (adorably awkward… as my friends would say), on top of being 5’0". You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>I’ve been attracted to/interested in guys who were exactly my height or a couple inches shorter/taller (yes. 4’10"-5’2". it’s possible); just because you’re 5’7" doesn’t mean nobody’s going to find you attractive. & yes, being intelligent is very attractive. Witty, intelligent [not necessarily smart], quirky, amusing… all personality traits I look for in guys (actually in people in general).</p>
<p>Hurray I guess I am going to be really rich and famous because I am like 6’5"</p>
<p>^yeah dude you have a higher chance of success. sorry to those people i upset, i was ranting too much.</p>
<p>i’m never going to be able to scrub the base of the necks of the giraffes because i’m not tall enough :(. my ideal conception of success - being a zoo keeper who tends to giraffes – is forever ruined by my average height. :(.</p>
<p>5’1 Representing.</p>
<p>I’m a girl.</p>
<p>Whoop</p>
<p>As a 6’2’’-er I can say that the advantage of my height is minimal. I’m not fat, but I don’t work out at all whatsoever so I’m not really intimidating.</p>
<p>Fun fact - In the 60’s, Yale used to brag about how many of its students (all male) were over 6 feet tall.</p>
<p>Stop complaining; 5’7 is not that short. Most girls are under that height anyways so you shouldn’t be too concerned.</p>
<p>I don’t get the previous posts about people having a problem with tall girls. I’m 5"8 and would love to make it to 5"10 because I feel like in these still sexist times, it makes you much more equal with the men around you, and people take you more seriously.
And I guess it depends on where you are, but I’ve never known anyone to be teased for being tall.</p>
<p>6’ 6". Only a matter of time now before I’m snorting burned hundred dollar bills off the backs of all y’all.</p>
