Short is Not the Problem

Yup hottest guy I ever dated was 3 inches shorter than me and he was no chad. Just handled himself like a man in all situations and it was sexy af.

Men that blame optics for lack of success with women instead of content of character will never understand.

They live in ManDisneyLand, a magical thinking place where the obvious is never true. Men are so sure of themselves that a thermonuclear truth bomb leaves no impact.

It’s 2020. It’s not a mystery or a Stacey conspiracy. Grow up. Clean your house. Act regular like you are human. Stop being a sex mercenary.

It’s not because you’re short. It’s because you suck.

The problem is that short guys often make it a big deal even if it isn’t. “Oh, you don’t want to date me because I’m short, right? Story of my life! If I were tall, I could get a girlfriend so easy!”

No, friend. Your shitty attitude and Napoleon complex has sabotaged all of your relationships. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in which they become super insecure because of their height and end up ruining things on their own because of it.

Maybe males blame aesthetics or lack thereof for their barren love lives because all males care about in women is aesthetics.

Exactly. I prefer dating guys of average height because I’m short and I’m not trying to break my back or feel like I’m dating my uncle.

That “women don’t like me because I’m short” sentiment is in their heads.

OrchidLion · 2020-06-19T02:00:06+00:00

That's cool and all... but I will still only seriously date taller men. Sorry not sorry; I want to be the shorter one and I want tall kids ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean... even HVM have preferences over things women cannot control (breast size, butt size, pear/hourglass shape, skin tone, etc) while claiming eVoLuTiOn and women are expected to put up with it, so why can't men just accept that not all of them are conventionally physically attractive to most women due to height/weight/age/etc?

Tall is an attractive trait, i won’t lie. Men will shamelessly state their preferences for things women can’t control (big boobs, wide hips, tiny tucked labia, etc), so we are allowed ours too. Still, i won’t immediately reject a shorter man provided he isn’t excessively insecure about it, and has other things about him i find physically attractive, and a good personality.

Im 5’1” so I have no problem with a guy’s height as long as he’s at least my height or taller lol. Shortest Ive dated was a 5’4” guy (who ofc was an abusive pos w a napoleon complex lol). Average ive dated has been 5’8”. I dont personally know any woman who sees height as a dealbreaker. These standards of like the tall muscular Chad werent created by women, they were created by men as masculine power fantasies that theyve imposed on themselves. Meanwhile we have all these women obsessed w dad bods FFS. Like since when are women drooling specifically only over tall muscular abercrombie and fitch models? Ive never seen it. Men have created this standard and imposed it on themselves and then cry about not meeting it. It’s the same way masculinity hurts men..like ok but youre shooting yourself in the foot buddy because yall use it to dominate women and uphold it constantly so..?

Don't know if I agree. I think guys who are short have a smaller pool of women that will be interested in them just because on average girls want the guy to be taller than them. I also think that's tough titties since women are also expected to meet some standards that aren't controllable - age, skin tone, hair, boob size, butt size. Tbh though tall guys know they're the most desirable and it can reflect poorly on their characters, like any spoiled person. Just depends, but super tall guys on tinder = hook up material and no more. And I don't like/do hook ups!

Honestly as much as I've seen my female friends prefer their boyfriend to be taller than them, none of them would ever turn down a guy who was shorter.

2020-06-19T11:29:28+00:00

I'm 5'7'' and all the guys I've been in love with were roughly the same height, if not shorter. Sure, my "perfect" guy would have been taller than me, but that's not a dealbreaker when it comes to whether I'm attracted to someone or not. And I'm considered pretty tall for a woman in my area so shorter men have a lot of gals to choose from who won't tower over them.

FitResearcher5 · 2020-06-19T11:17:23+00:00

Absolutely nothing wrong with short guys, as long as they’re not a dick

devoushka · 2020-06-20T05:28:07+00:00

That's nice, my dad is pretty short and has a similar story. I myself am average height and I am strictly only attracted to tall men. At minimum 5'10, preferably 6 feet or above. Sorry not sorry, I only find tall men sexy and manly enough for me to find them attractive. I literally can't control that.

bettas-and-frog-lass · 2020-06-19T23:59:04+00:00

I personally prefer a man shorter than me, but I know I’m 100% in the minority. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure that if most women don’t want a guy who’s shorter than them, that limits short men to girls shorter than them.

RaccoonWithKnife · 2020-06-19T14:06:47+00:00

My favourite colleague isn't much taller than me, and I'm not a tall woman. He's funny and generous and professionally successful and his wife is a stone cold fox. Being short isn't the problem for these men.
