AT LAST! An Online Dating Site All About Putting a Ring On It!

HEIGHT ** (my G caps are not working and I have to press them harder than the others) LOL

Pearl At 15yo, you're already taller than me LOL! I know my daughter is going to be the same way since my husband is 6'1. She's 9yo and already up to my shoulder!

The Working Home Keeper I pray I stay this height! I don't want to be super tall in heels! And small women are adorable! LOL

The Working Home KeeperPearl My niece just turned 11 on Christmas day, she just hit 5'5"....and not yet into her full growth spurt, they think she will be 5'10" to 6'1" by the time it's all said and done. We all just let her know, as long as SHE is comfy in her skin, then no one else matters. She's always been taller than everyone else, and maybe because her father is so tall, she is ok with her height. mmmmm but also, she isn't boy crazy yet, and maybe when that happens, things will change.

BrwnBeautyPearl My husband's entire family is just tall. I remember when his little sister was 12yo, she was taller than me. My MIL is 5'10. So, I'm hoping my daughter won't be uncomfortable being a tall girl. She has her Daddy's height and my slender build. That's a pretty good combination in my book!

Pearl My lady-wyfe (Brenda55) says that humans are blessed, because all the important stuff is in the middle - she should know, as I'm 6' 8" & she's 5' 10".

R. Kamaria Well that's good enough right?

Monique8 I would expect (hope) seriously minded people would be more reasonable and tend to look deeper. The phenomenon won't disappear of course.

My latest conversation: ForumPress

That is also my question. Still intend to pass the link on to several friends who are actively seeking a partner.

Monique8 I agree most will ignore this statement since they probably get more messages than the average bw according to those studies, and suggest that as long as the woman is pretty she will get tons of messages. It's a little more complicated than that, but it might be worth giving a try since it's free.

Monique8 I'd say we're INCREDIBLY open to it- considering we, the site founders are are a Black female/White male interracial couple!!! We believe in finding love w/someone who's SINCERE, whether they're Black, green, orange or purple it doesn't matter (and we definitely celebrate diversity)! Ultimately, it will be the members of the site who decide who's heralded and who gets passed over. I'd say follow some of the dating tips offered by Christelyn like posting professional/flattering photos and being OPEN for love, and you'll be well on your way! :)

MarryMeAlreadydotcom I think it's great that you and your husband have founded this site, its certainly a niche that sorely needs exploring given the stat of most online dating sites. But I'm sure you are aware that posting a nice picture and being open to love is not enough to ensure that BW aren't passed over on your site like several are on other mainstream sites. In addition to uploading a pretty picture and being open to love, I would suggest that somewhere on your site you state what you stated to me that you believe in finding love with someone who is sincere no matter their race or religion , etc. or a big statement stating we celebrate diversity and welcome it. Those types of statements may attract more men, specifically non-bm, who are also open to dating BW, That way at least BW aren't giving their money to a site every month where they are being passed over or ignored if they reach out to non-BM. Just my two cents.

Monique8 also one of my thoughts as well

MarryMeAlreadydotcom It makes mysterious pricey dating sites a terrific scheme. The process is opaque, there is no way to hold the operator responsible, and even if every paying customer is dissatisfied, few ever demand a refund. A random match program could be set up, and they would still make $$$

I smell Mon-ayyy! Ahhhh, that sweet green fragrance!

I'll even give you the algorithm. Take their stated height and alleged weight and multiply them. Divide by claimed age. Use the out-to-four digits result to grab the third digit from the remainder, to yield a pseudo-random result. Match that digit from the male results to the female results. A male 12.7348 would, hence, be matched to a female 14.9643, the 4's being the matchpoint. Email the results and collect the cash!

I'm busy, so feel free to do the development and Chinese Intellectual Property Rules apply, so you don't need to pay me a penny.

I almost feel like I should apologize to you for my snark. I'm glad to see that someone is doing something to help the marriage-minded.

I riff on personals/profiles because I can, and they're such a rich vein of Post Modern humour to be mined. I had a thoracic surgeon friend when I was a resident and he was constantly on dating/relationship sites for about a year. He pretty much gave up on the whole women thing, (bought the small dog, a Shih Tzu) but the guy was hilarious. He had a routine called "Six Hundred Words For Snow and One Thousand Words For Fat". I actually learned some stuff; I thought Rubenesque had to do with the use of slate in Baroque altarpieces to reduce reflection.

I'm a Chinese physician, 5'5" short, which puts me completely out of the league of match sites and the like. However, as my family has the bux and I'm half owner of my own clinic, I do tend, unbelievable as it may seem, to attract a certain small, but persistent, percentage of this sort of person: http://www.musicasia.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/girl-generation-14.jpg I evidently pass the wallet biopsy.

However, I still feel men under six feet shouldn't bother with online sites and men under 5'7" shouldn't date at all. Period. It would save a lot of angst on both sides of the equation.

I hope your site helps people get married.

I could make do with the one sitting on the cube.

My latest conversation: ForumPress

Law WanxiMarryMeAlreadydotcom Every once in a while I try to make the case that the lonely ends of the height bell curve should utilize each other. Never convinced a tall lady yet, but most short guy's are receptive to the idea.

My maternal grandparents managed a 56-year 4-child marriage with a height difference 3 inches the "wrong" way. and then there's this semi-famous real-life couple: http://t.co/DP5qX5f6

I think it's more relative. E.g. in my circle, we just want a guy a bit taller than we each are as opposed to the same minimum. I.e. some shorter friends around ~5' to 5'3 find guys 6' plus too tall, whereas those ~5'9" naturally prefer guys ~6'2"

NonyaLaw WanxiMarryMeAlreadydotcom It's something in between absolute and relative (relatively absolute rather then absolutely relative), otherwise there wouldn't be so many vertically awkward people left over.

My latest conversation: ForumPress

Interesting that you say that. It's strange that I'm only 5"2 and have gotten several messages from men 6"4 to 6"8. I'm like WTH? lol. I put in my preferences 5"6 to 6"3. Seriously, what am I going to do with a dude who's 6"6? Are they serious?

Those girls look just WAY too young. Long before I met my wife I was working in a pizza shop on the Main Line. This Vietnamese immigrant girl who worked at a Mexifornian place across the street came over for change for their cash register. She had on her otherwise attractive face what must have been a birthmark under her left eye that looked like a big bruise. I was trying to be friendly and mentioned to her I had seen her on the subway in South Philly. Her face lit up, "OH YOU LIVE IN SOUTH PHILLY! I LIVE IN SOUTH PHILLY!" she said in heavily-accented English. After she left I got teased by my coworkers "She likes you, Jay. Better watch out." She came in a few more times and would speak to me and me only, but I could never follow through. I would have looked like some creep with an Asian mail-order child bride that he beat on a regular basis.

Law WanxiMarryMeAlreadydotcom Just to let you know, Law WanXi, that your 'wallet biopsy' has entered our family lexicon for good!

law Wanxi I've have a dating profile for the last 10yrs and have requested guys 5' and over, I'm 5'10". To me height is not that important. I've dated more than one guy that was shorter than me and it was never a problem. I notice a lot of profiles from guys request a petite woman (5'4" & under) why no love for the taller woman?

MarryMeAlreadydotcom

Hmmmmm, that site sounds familiar. I was on about six years ago. I had a requirement for men who wanted children and got men who did NOT want children or were not sure. I was on one month and got off. Scientifically sound matches my arse! This is some of the most basic stuff that they missed quite often. All these freakin' questions to answer and they send matches that aren't matches at all.

Law Wanxi LOL Loving the sarcasm! Really, though, is it that bad to be matched up with a man 3 ungodly inches shorter than you?

EvelynA If you ask the typical 'tall and loves to dance' type, a three or four inch negative 'towers over me' differential is A Fate Worse Than "A Fate Worse Than Death".

['You're 5'4"? Oh, the horror, the horror" with apologies to Jozef Korzeniowski; sorry, dude, I couldn't help myself....]

Law WanxiEvelynA I can't get mad at the tall women in a vertically rigid world. Their sitch is if anything worse than for short men. At least there's the possibility of standing on your wallet.But what really bugs me are the height expectations by short women, hardly different than other women.

Every time a really tall guy finds a really short woman, two other people have their opportunity for bliss extinguished.

Hear, hear! Every woman digs a guy who's a few inches taller but those shortie chicks reaching for extremes cause a lot of the vertical shortage. As a tallie, I say we introduce a kitchen-stool rule: if he's more than a kitchen-stool taller than you, he should reach higher and you lower, LOL.

NonyaAabaakawadLaw WanxiEvelynA Guess I'm one of those shortie chicks LOL! My husband is 6'1 and I'm 5'1. I would never be able to reach things on the top shelf without my husband's tallness!

My sis is in the same group as you...she is 4'9" and her husband is 6'9". They are yin and yang..and fit together perfectly. You had me smiling because she says the same about her husband. Honestly think height matters if you let it.

The Working Home KeeperNonyaAabaakawadLaw WanxiEvelynA

Which is why the good lord in his infinite wisdom put all the good stuff in the middle. ;-P

Law Wanxi Now, now, now, such sarcasm. I could say the same thing regarding corpulent women.

Law some of us know that good things come in small packages. However most of the men who were interested in me but were thinner and shorter I had a definite a fetish thing going wanting to dominate a much larger woman. These guys tended to get to talking about that stuff shortly (no pun intended) after meeting them. I kind of steered clear of shorter and thinner men after a few bad experiences.

Sucks sometimes being on the extreme ends of the bell curve.

Brenda55Law Wanxi With me, at 6' 8" (2+ meters) tall, at the other - and Law, don't get on me ... not until you see the scars on my head from walking under doors that weren't quite tall enough.

I lay on the floor of the University of Texas Medical Branch (otolaryngology), unconscious, for about 10 minutes, residents and staff just stepping over me and laughing, when I 'whanged' myself outside the entrance - and, da*nmit, I WORKED THERE!

SirLoinDeBeefBrenda55

The head hits are bad enough, but you also have to see the tops of short people's refrigerators. They have no idea what scary stuff is growing there!

Law WanxiSirLoinDeBeefBrenda55 Haha....some short people had crazier mothers than grandmothers. My fridge and the top of my range hood are not hairy or even scary,lol! Mom's orders.

Law WanxiBrenda55 Science experiments ... with tentacles ... reaching out, as you open the door ...

Law Wanxi wow that's harsh

sparel Harsh!?!?!?!???

I'll give you harsh.

I glad that the 'tall and loves to dance' contingent of women aren't able to institute a word processed version of the 1935 Nuremberg Race Laws, with 'Jew' replaced with 'man under 5 foot 10'. I'd be toast, at 5'5".

THAT'S harsh.

Of course, I've noticed that net worth increases perceived height. If I had $15 mil, I'd be playing in the NBA of online dating, coming in at perceived 6'5".

To be fair and balanced, just exactly where do most of these chubby bald guys get off demanding a 19 BMI?

Law Wanxi The height requirement from women is similar to the requirement that many men expect women to have: d-cups, hourglass figures, and long flowy hair. I guess all women in the itty bitty committee, with rectangular/apple figures, and short hair should be banned from dating sites as well.

Mel_womanLaw Wanxi D-cups ... itty bitty ... all distraction and fluf - sensitivity is the real issue.
