Which man would you rather date?

Man A: Tall (6'3), thin, in average shape.

Man B: Average height (5'9) but very good shape (six-pack, wide chest, muscular bum).

Assume both are compatible with you in terms of personality and are very attracted to you.

Which would you choose and why?

The best kisser

seensome · 16/05/2022 12:02

Neither as I would know if was attracted enough for it not to be an issue.
I'd give them both a miss

If I couldn’t make up my mind I would go out with both of them until I did.

I'd go the other way, and think that if neither of them is standing out from the crowd, they're not the one for me. But that's if you're dating with a view to long term. If you're just dating and you like them both, date them both.

Spitescreen · 16/05/2022 12:18

What is weird in your post is that you dismiss both their personalities as ‘compatible’ with yours and ‘very attracted to you’, as if that’s the only important thing. With respect, OP, that does make them sound like interchangeable members of the Borg, and your approach pretty meat market-y.

GreyTS · 16/05/2022 12:22

Definitely B, I'm tiny so 5'9 would be tall to me, and I love broad shoulders on a man

MrsGinaHarrison87 · 16/05/2022 12:26

I'm not really into muscular men, generally I fancy thin, tall men. My husband however, is tall and stocky. He was thin when we met, now he's put on a few stone but I actually prefer the way he looks now and honestly his weight gain doesn't affect how much I fancy him. It's hard to say what I'd go for as I don't just fancy a body. I prefer a gorgeous face and personality has a lot to do with it. There has to be a connection.

FlibbertyGibbitt · 16/05/2022 12:35

The one who is the nicest … I’m 5”9 too !

Fluffyhairteddy · 16/05/2022 12:41

This thread is absolutely redic. It’s not a tick box exercise is it?! Who do you connect with? What’s his height got to do with it. I mean, attraction is very important but it’s pretty shallow to compare against each other….and if shoe was on the other foot we’d all be outraged.. (who would you chose, slim and small boobs or larger and bigger boobs etc). Honestly OP…

TunaSalad · 16/05/2022 12:42

Whichever one is better in bed.

Femalewoman · 16/05/2022 12:47

man comes along and asks should I date the woman with the big breasts or the fried egg... ummm I wonder.

Woman asks similar question completely ignoring other attributes.... umm wonder why the said individual is single.

Whichever had the most money

Brilliant! 👏🏻

  1. Don't fancy skinny men at all.
Blaze1886 · 16/05/2022 13:04

But if a weird post, surely it should be your decision and not down to a bunch of strangers

CrazyRatLover · 16/05/2022 13:25

First one is too tall for me but wouldn't rule it out if he had a nice personality, and I'm not bothered about a six pack in the slightest, in the gym too much and for me personally is a turn off as I'd be constanty worrying about my wobbly bits!

I wouldn't rule either out completely but it would be the one that seemed most down to earth who I thought would be the most considerate. A big beaming smile too - defo!

KyaClark · 16/05/2022 13:26

Do either of them wear glasses?

RibNSaucyArseCrack · 16/05/2022 13:30

comes down to biggest dick surely?

AccessibleVoid · 16/05/2022 14:40

I prefer slender waifish men but at that height it's going to be more gangly than waifish. Assuming there's no special chemistry or incredibly sparkling personality for either I'll go neither.

DramaAlpaca · 16/05/2022 14:48

Based on just those factors, the tall one. I'm 5'10 and I'm not attracted to men shorter than me.

theonlygirl · 16/05/2022 15:04

A with B's body.

ElenaSt · 16/05/2022 09:46

Neither. I don't like skinny and I don't like short men.

I suppose I would go for the tall man and help him put on weight and get in shape.

You mean get him to change to suit what you want to look at?

blimey can you imagine a bloke saying he’d date the large lady and “help her to loose weight”

Nowomenaroundeh · 16/05/2022 15:13

The one who is better in bed obviously

SandrasAnnoyingFriend · 16/05/2022 15:19

There is a great disparity between the posters taking this thread seriously and those taking themselves seriously 😆

TheHatinaCat · 16/05/2022 15:20

Both?! Grin
