Do you prefer your man to be tall or short?

I'm 5'4", and I've dated men ranging from 5'2" to 6'8". It was a bit awkward with one of the shorter ones just because he was so insecure about it and acted like he had something to prove. It was also kind of awkward with the 6'8" guy, because I felt like a midget out on a date with a tree. lol

5‘4‘‘ and 6‘8‘‘ does sound like neck pain!

I'm 5'4 and I recently met a man who is 7' and another who is 5'5. The one who is 7' is rather self-conscious about his height. The one who is 5'5 has no concerns about it whatsoever and he didn't have the short man syndrome.

You just never know.

Sounds about right

7’ is extreme, but there should be enough women who are into that. To me height honestly just isn’t that important.

True, you never know. It's hard for folks sometimes not to be self-conscious about things that make them stand out, especially if it's something that gets them the kind of attention they don't want. Unfortunately a lot of people don't take others' feeling into consideration before making hurtful (intended or not) comments about those things.

I like my men six feet tall or taller but not too tall.

What’s “too tall” if you like them 6’ or more? And what’s your height if you don’t mind?

 

[Reverie]

But these girls will probably manage to get with the tall blokes.

Doesn't Shaq only date black women?

Are they the internet's Gucci girls?

I have no idea. It was just a joke.

Ok I’ll tell more hahaa. Back then the Celtics had their training camp in Newport Rhode Island, where my college girlfriends spent their summers. In 2010 we had just graduated so they stayed a month longer than they typically would. Allegedly Shaq took a liking to my girlfriend one night The way it was explained to me sounded like Shaq is indeed Superman but size wise he is a victim of expectations.
My understanding was that the players enjoyed the Newport scene a lot. The year before Shaq joined the team my girl told me a girl she knew who hooked up with Paul Pierce, which made me just a little jelly

I wonder if black men feel immense pressure to be in incredible shape just to bag women.

I feel like the majority of bm/wm couples I see, dudes are jacked and the women are just regular.

There's truth to that
But if that's their happiness path so be it I guess
