Back in the day, when I was fit, good looking and at 5'7", I couldn't get a date if my life depended on it. Fast forward today...I'm 64, a little overweight, balding, and living in the Philippines. I'm a king with the filipinas. I can get laid at a moments notice with an attractive girl. White American women suck ass.
I'm amazed filipinos sound even shorter than Thais. I'm 5'8", which is a little taller than average for an American raised woman. When I felt God was calling me to marry an Isaan man, I considered that probably two thirds of them would be shorter than me and decided that height would not be a dealbreaker to me per say. That said shorter men do tend to marry shorter women.
The Philippines has problems with sexual trafficking, as does the rest of the world. USA is number one on that though, as it regards both buyers and sellers...
Filipinas can get to 4'10" in height. I recently had a massage therapist tell me that the reason there are so many single moms is that their male counterpart is LAZY. This is why Filipinas want foreign men, especially white Americans. Most pinoys are beta males too. They are starving for a real man...alpha male. Now, just to let you know. I don't judge, only respect Filipinas.
I'd have to review where I got the stats from. I'm aware of the Filipino child brides problem which is quite the business in Muslim countries especially. Many of them, having been ruined so to speak by their first husband, are discarded after pregnancy. There's also a high demand for young virgins as is also true in Mexico. One place I think the USA tops on is the unreported stuff...
They have child brides in Mindanao. You also have white guys looking for brides, like in the Tondo area, which is a shit hole in Metro Manila, and pay a family to marry their daughter. Daughters are of age, just to let you know.
I believe that law was passed. Here's the deal. Filipinas are screwed financially due to lazy men, so these single moms know that foreigners, especially white Americans, have money. They are raised to hook up with foreigners to get money. Unfortunately, these single moms have to support their kids, and in most cases, take care of their family. Usually, the eldest does this. Basically, it's pay for play in the Philippines. The child bride issue is a Muslim thing in Mindanao.
American women still suck ass. Filipinas are great, in fact, they make great wives, because the feminazis haven't polluted their minds. Filipino men suck ass? True, and the women offer THERAPY, not whoring themselves out. There have been a few pinoy families selling their children to pedos.
If it is anythig like Thailand I see a 10-80-10 rule regarding Western men who come there. 10% have been burnt so badly by a western lady (not necessarily American: can be British or Europe say too) that they only go for Thai women. 10% of men meanwhile have been burnt so bad by Thai ladies that they only go for non Thai women (sometimes this is a third country like Eastern Europe say: heck I know a Thai leuk krueng who is married to a Polish woman). 80% of the guys there will just take whatever comes along. ;-)
Regarding Thai men I have known many who work hard and provide for their families. You will never see them unless you start looking. But I think the ladies especially intent on landing a Westerner are the most likely to have horrible sob stories regarding the native men...
99.9% of US women are f*cked in the head. I don't want to get in a pissing contest with you. I'm sure you are intelligent enough not to get sucked in to the feminist agenda.
I'm 6'2" tall and my wife is 5'1". I've just always liked short women, and my wife has always liked tall men.
There is a thing though with short men sometimes they try too hard, and are assholes. We call it "short man syndrome." If they're in a position of power, they'll abuse that power -- because they're jealous of taller men. I've seen it many times. Very annoying.
It's called the Napoleonic complex as well. My first husband Oh tried to overcompensate for his size and could be very jealous and insecure. He especially disliked my older daughter's father Joe, who was a blond haired, blue eyed, 6 foot tall guy. He just never seemed to quite believe that I really had picked him. In a strange twist of irony Ka does not seem to have those same hangups. I think he's more fatalistic, but in a good way
I had a Chinese woman boss for a year once, and asked her why so many white guys preferred Asian women. She told me "No! Asian women prefer white men."
That hadn't occurred to me. She said that she liked that white men are more respectful of women than Chinese men are, and that she liked the way white men looked, particularly how tall they are.
I know Thai women specifically as a rule have a strong preference for farang over native Thai men. It has led to an entire country having a chip on their shoulder regarding Westerners stealing all of their women. The reasons for this preference are often given by the women as, in no particular order: we would make pretty babies with farang men (blue eyes are especially loved, even though from a recessive gene perspective the offspring will almost certainly have brown eyes), white men are nice, respectful, not violent, not alcoholics or drug addicts, farang make more money and are automatically seen as higher class--especially prized is having dual citizen children with them, and variations on "we can make a future together." Subconsciously I think religion plays a huge part in this, especially Buddhist beliefs around sexual purity and chastity: in short Western men are much more likely, to use a BackStreet Boys song lyric, to be like "I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did, as long as you love me." It's often an attempt to escape the virgin/whore paradox...
I've known some short guys who are so self confident and cocky that they are actual "dogs" and get laid constantly regardless of the height difference.
That being said, I'm 6'4" and would find it difficult to find a woman taller than I am attractive.
LOL it's difficult to find women taller than 6'4"! I have known some shorter guys who compensated by being charismatic charmers who actually got laid a lot in that niche. They often had trouble in the marriage/serious commitment department though...
Early to mid 90s, I dated a guy in college that was probably 4 to 5 inches shorter than me. We were together for 2 years, and if he hadn't turned into such an asshole, I would have married him for sure. Honestly, at the time, if he had actually wanted to get married, I would have married him.
I had neighbors years ago where the lady was 6' and the man was 5' 5". They both were nice and he told everybody he married a tall lady to give his kids a chance at a normal height. They had two kids but moved away before they grew up so I'm not sure if his plan worked out.
Ouch! I had a friend who was both (or so he said) who became quite the joker about it. He often talked about how ladies loved his two inches of steel (I have no idea as I never saw it nor wanted to). He did okay with ladies but some was because he didn't have much standards: he became the pool boy of sorts for the married next door neighbor who wanted a fling, for instance, and for another similar cougar type of lady...

Oh, the therapy is consensual.

Ok, so I'm a bad dude. So sue me. Cheers.

Little Man Syndrome. Read Bobby Reich’s columns to get a feel for it. Always with a chip on the shoulder.
I had a Chinese woman boss for a year once, and asked her why so many white guys preferred Asian women. She told me "No! Asian women prefer white men."
That hadn't occurred to me. She said that she liked that white men are more respectful of women than Chinese men are, and that she liked the way white men looked, particularly how tall they are.
And as an aside, I have had many Thai women, while drunk, who have made some very rancid jokes regarding size preferences as well...

It's a good idea! I sometimes think very tall women probably have difficulties too in finding a mate...
“is it better to be a man who’s short or a man who’s poorly endowed?”
Try being both...
