| Short Men Posted: 12/13/2008 7:36:57 PM | I have a feeling this thread is going to mysteriously disappear. YES! I'm one of them! One of those short guys. 5'4"...but I'm tall for my height.
There is not too much I could add to the general discourse, however, thanks to all you ladies who said nice things about short guys, you made me feel better, even though you are lying. Speaking of lying: 5'7" is short, buddy.
Anyway, I always liked being around a boxing gym. That's why I had fights. A little man got to get some respect. A lot of big men in the gym had dog in em. There are always more lighter weight guys in any boxing gym for that very reason.
And finally, the great thing about being short is it gives me something to whine about. Beep, beep, beep. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/13/2008 9:50:26 PM | TOMic bomb I have a nice set of "womanly breasts" as you call them (LOL) and I wouldn't reject you because you are 5ft 4. I was just giving an approximate. The trouble with people on here is they read something and get all riled up about it and take it so darn literally.
No I would reject you because of your attitude and acidic tongue that I've witnessed through many of these threads. Cheers. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/13/2008 10:20:55 PM | Wait a minute! How tall was Mickey Rooney? That guy was even shorter than me. I find the best way to handle my lack of stature is to play the clown. Yeah. Completely flush my precocious dignity down the toilet and go for the mercy fvck. Oh, yeah, that reminds me. I don't reject women because they are ugly. No. That would be shallow. One can't be shallow. Or admit to it. No, I reject them on account of their attitude, which is whatever I say it is. Convenient, no? | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/13/2008 10:36:32 PM | ^^^what you lack in height, you make up for in charm, personality, humour, intelligence and ..... good taste in women? | |

LOL,
Yeah...It's pretty progressive of her to reject short men because of their sour attitudes, instead of their height.
Check out message number 47.
This is another version of the "height paradox" that I was trying to explain in that post. Here is the post:
5) The height paradox. -Being a short man causes automatic rejection from the vast majority of woman. Lying about ones height causes automatic rejection from many women, but it also gives them an easy excuse for the rejection (it's the lie and not the height). This sort of paradox would upset any red blooded guy. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 2:52:23 AM | | Height isn't such a big deal if the guy is popular or has a magnetic personality. Tom Cruise is shorter than me, but he's nailed thousands of girls and I haven't nailed one (without paying). | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 6:41:12 AM | | ^^^ Perhaps if you didn't view the act of making love as "nailing it", you'd have a lot more success. Just a thought ... | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 6:50:42 AM | Hey ~LH~ I checked your profile and I was stunned to find out that we are the same height. How about boinked? I boinked her? No...that doesn't sound too respectful. Porked? No. That's no good either. Did the nasty? No, No! Beast with two backs? Watched her bounce? Um...never mind. | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 7:06:18 AM | ^^^ Imagine that! What are the odds?
A man with a respectful and appreciative attitude towards a woman can be a giant in her eyes, regardless of how tall he is. Height in character trumps height in stature every time! | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 7:36:49 AM | I am currently dating a guy shorter than myself. He's only maybe 2 inches shorter but it was still hard for me to go out with him at first because of it. But I am so smitten with him now!
Woman like to feel secure with their guy. It's also been drilled into us that the man should always be taller..but if she really likes you, she will get over it. | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 9:27:35 AM | The feeling of security that comes from a taller man is just an illusion. Re: De La Hoya/Pacquiao. Whereas Oscar is 5'11" and Pacman is 5'6" and De La Hoya was forced to quit on his stool.
Of course there were other variables. Age, etc. Also , maybe there was something altogether fishy about that fight. Because now Oscar is promoting and has a piece of his little conqueror.
Perhaps women don't really know fvck-all about what constitutes a man and manhood, but regardless. It's all image with women? Women don't validate the manhood of men. Other men do that. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 2:24:38 PM | | I see successful short men in real life with no problem finding girlfriends. It's the unsuccessful short and tall men that complain about not getting dates. A short guy suddenly being tall would find out fast that height wasn't the only thing holding him back with the ladies. | |

A comforting thought...but research points otherwise. I haven't seen a single crumb of empirical or even anecdotal evidence which suggest what you say is true. It's true that "successful" (read: rich) short men can do just as well as tall men, but this takes a LOT of money. An article in the science section of the New York Times claimed that a 5'6" man would have to make $300,000 more PER YEAR than a 6'0" man to expect the same amount of attention from women.
You might be right that a short guy who suddenly became tall would find out that he has other handicaps...but being short (as far as most women is concerned) is enough.
Plus, plenty of unsuccessful tall men get tons of women. Any guy can see that.

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 3:10:45 PM | Uh, oh, Msg 90 beat me to the punch. How about fat guys with money? How about any guys with money? I lived in Vegas for nine years.
I worked the casinos, many, many, casinos, from the top to the bottom, as a dice dealer. I know all about women and money. Not news to me that successful ( read money) guys get women.
I guess there won't be any complaints when a young girls looks fade and her "perfect and successful, 5'9" minimum " husband dumps her for something younger and fresher. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 5:42:09 PM | | Short guys are always watching their back and their girl at all times, questioning her every move. Who would want to live with that insecurity? Shorter guys tend to eye **** every guy that looks in his girl's direction. He knows deep down, that he better mack it really hard to keep his girl interested. It all depends on the circumstances and living conditions. If you in a a location where guys outnumber girls in any social scene, the shorter guy tends to get the shorter end of the stick. Now, if you go to some place warm where many girls like to live and the ratio to men and women are different, the shorter guy may have an advantage. A person is only as loyal as their options. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 5:51:23 PM | | Tom Cruise is a famous movie star. BIG EXCEPTION to the short guy prejudice. He can provide a lavish lifestyle, media attention, which we all know there are many, many attention whores out there, even a possible career by association. Too many advantages and incentives to compromise that with height, so there you go. | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 5:51:28 PM | | You conducted a survey? How do you know so much about short guys? You are going to take my girl? Really? You are within spitting distance of short yourself. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 6:08:17 PM | I think I'm getting tired of this subject and I'm starting to wonder how much of a deficit being vertically challenged or stumpy in plain English, is, particularly regarding reproductive access or getting laid as some would call it.
Because, if memory serves, from the age of thirteen on, I never had trouble getting women. Yes it's true, they were all hideously ugly and stupid but I was still drinking then so that kind of took care of that problem.
Now we move onto that other morbid subject: endowment! | |

Stereotype much?
From what I've seen, there are many types of guys. Some guys are controlling, other guys are relaxed...some guys are aggressive, and other guys are laid back. It usually has nothing to do with height. It's just that a relaxed short guy is thought of as nebbish while a relaxed tall guy is thought of as confident. Likewise, an aggressive short guy is thought to have a Napoleon Complex while an aggressive tall guy is thought to be an Alpha Male.
It sounds like you've fallen for the stereotype myths too. What do you have against short dudes?

| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 10:27:24 PM | | At least money can be made to overcome the height handicap. What's an ugly woman to do? Being successful won't save her. It still sounds like complaining just to complain when you have a way to overcome it. | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/14/2008 11:16:41 PM | What's an ugly woman to do? Put out? Think that might work? Think anybody ever tried that?
I didn't complain about height discrimination on this thread, not once. I made a lot of jokes about my height or lack thereof. More than once I have told taller women on this site, women that approached me, women that forced themselves to overcome their height preference, I told them "Lady my height is the least of it!" I am fully aware that it is about my level of success.
My height is only one aspect of who I am. Yes, it eliminates me from consideration by a percentage of woman. There are women I don't go for either, such as girls your age. There are only so many things you can try. After that it gets boring to be with a blank slate.
I like women, not girls. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/15/2008 1:03:16 AM | | I am a really tall girl, I won't date anyone shorter than me and even dating someone my height feels awkward sometimes but I know it's because I am insecure about my own height. | |
|
| Short Men Posted: 12/15/2008 3:39:31 AM | | It's not that I'm insecure about my height. Iit's just hard to feel feminine when I'm towering over the guy. A few inches shorter isn't a problem. | |

| Short Men Posted: 12/15/2008 4:25:25 AM | ^^^ Perhaps if you didn't view the act of making love as "nailing it", you'd have a lot more success. Just a thought ...
Women use sex to get with the most popular/powerful guy that will want them, and deny it from anyone else.
That's not love, that's sexual selection.
That's why guys like me fail every single time. We're not crowd pleasers and fail at our best attempts to be that.
As another female poster said, tallness in the personality sense matters more than physical tallness. A guy who's good at seducing and tricking women will always be better off than a guy with supposedly "superior" physical height. | |
