Sure, it may all be in fun, but over my time here I have seen so many threads on the Escapists' preferences on women physically. I hate to think it, but I'm beginning to think if I met some of you people, I'd be measured up to a mental list of physical characteristics, and reduced to a score on how much I please you visually.
This makes me mad, because women are more than collections of physical features. Maybe you know that, but I thought I'd share my two cents' worth...
^This... is someone that understands... I may be creating a counterpart series also if this one is successful.Conor Wainer said:Amazing poll graph, I was deciding between the two most popular choices, then selected the most popular (all without looking). I'm 6ft tall, and wouldn't want a woman taller than me, but I wouldn't want one too much shorter either. Remember, this is building here, I'm sure circumstancially people wouldn't instantly dismiss based on height alone 'sorry, you're two inches to short' would be insane. You'd be hard pressed to find a man stupid/shallow enough to select a woman purely on physical beauty, but I think the opposite is equally as stupid (ie. ignoring it).
I also understand if some of the women of the escapist don't take kindly to this thread/ series, for the 50%(?) of people who prefer men to women, why not start a counterpart series?
Also. those of you who've made comments that they 'only' care about personality ect, I'd struggle to believe you're being truthful when you say you aren't assessing potential woman based on physical attributes, at all, if you're not, well that is your business, and height should be a fairly common one. It does seem to go against evolution and natural selection not to though, and we don't have to go back to many years to see height trends in preferencial selection either.
EDIT: Forgot to mention gaming chicks. I think its unfair to claim that they are all intolerable whoever said that, if you've experienced less luck with them fine, but don't say that they do the gender a dis-service, that has to be discrimination on some level... Well, to all the women on here I'd imagine, anyway I didn't like the comment. Related, I would like to date a gaming chick, all of the ones so far haven't had any interest, and I think it'd be cool to share video games.
Sorry this is completely unrelated, but I just spent an exceptionally long time staring at your avatar. Never before have I seen so much Gentlemen.RaphaelsRedemption said:Wow.

Well obviously I care since i'm making this poll... I'm just interested in this and if you don't like the test/care about the test then don't vote on it. If you didn't care you wouldn't comment on my poll. I wish people like you would just get a life and leave it alone.Niagro said:Obviously there a good number of people posting this, but I'll say it anyway:
Who cares?
Why is this not an option in the poll?
There's actually more Gentlemen, but I had to cut the avatar down, as it was too big for the Escapist. It made me sad, but hey...Deef said:Sorry this is completely unrelated, but I just spent an exceptionally long time staring at your avatar.

Thanks Random Fella. I think it will be interesting to participate in and read about the findings (especially on learning how close my choices were to the majorities).Random Fella said:^This... is someone that understands... I may be creating a counterpart series also if this one is successful.
Most likely the median, yet if it is like it is now (closer to higher than lower) I will select 5.6ft but I may go to mean. I won't release the results until the end though but looking at previous polls may give you an idea. Note this is only the 1st poll so it will be quite some time before I have finished.Conor Wainer said:Thanks Random Fella.

Question for you, as I write this currently the most popular selection is the 5.5-5.6ft option, but only by 1 vote. When this thread ends, do you plan on;
A. Selecting the most popular choice, if it's 1 vote or 100 votes up or?
B. The mean, currently 1082.15ft / 195 votes = 5.5495ft (based on exact values 4.8ft and 6ft)?
C. The median, 5.65ft (I'm using 5.5ft-5.6ft and 5.7ft-5.8ft as the two middle numbers)?
D. Another method I haven't thought of?
Edit: Woops wasn't meant to reveal that.Sgt. Sykes said:Hair needs to be the next poll and red hair ftw.
As for height, I prefer rather smallish, but it's not a big deal unless she's way taller than me...
I feel the same way. I'm a gay guy so... I count... maybe... who knowsRaphaelsRedemption said:Wow.

Please read a few comments before jumping in with your opinion. I have clearly stated many times that if this one is successful that I will be creating a male version.PoisonUnagi said:I feel the same way. I'm a gay guy so... I count... maybe... who knows
But y'all straight guys are being pretty douchey to the rest of us.
Because I think it should be an option, it's just as valid an opinion.Random Fella said:Well obviously I care since i'm making this poll...
