Selective reading and then going off into a rant over a few words read here and there will not help your cause to appear intelligent jonathan. You obviously missed the part where I said no scientific studies can prove that napoleon syndrome does not exist. I also said, and I will put it in caps to help you out, that "NO SCIENTIFIC STUDIES PROVE THAT NAPOLEAN SYNDROME DOES EXIST". Read the entire post next time.
A negative cannot be disproven. A scientific study does not strive to prove that something doesn't exist. It simply tries to determine whether something exists. All of the scientific studies done on the subject show that there is no evidence that a Napoleon Complex exists in real life. The burden is on those who believe the myth to prove that it exists.
To use your logic - there has been no scientific study which has been able to prove that Santa Claus does not exist. So this must mean that Santa Claus exists.  | |

Posted: 12/20/2008 8:45:39 PM | Oh poor poor jonathan. Selective reading again? Please read an entire post before posting and making yourself looking foolish. Apparently even writing in caps doesn't help you. I said there is no scientific proof that napoleon syndrome "DOES NOT" exist and there is no proof that it "DOES" exist because it's all speculation and opinions based on experiences.
If someone was doing a study to try to prove that napoleon syndrome does indeed exist, just based on all these short guy threads and all of you regular posters, then based on just that alone their opinion would be that it does indeed exist ,and then their study would reflect that. I am sorry dear boy but I just don't how to make it any more clear then that. You will just have to read carefully what I have written , instead of your usual pick and read. Concentrate and I know you can do it. | |

It's true some older women give up and take what they can get since the pool shrinks but again that's nothing to be proud of. I'd much rather be chosen than be "the best a guy could get". | |

Means I get to fly a Cessna 152 and go "Spinning" whereas the taller pilots have to train in the 72's. Which don't spin or stall as easily.
It's great to be short. | |

But of you're a chronically single woman...you might think about adjusting your list of "wants". It's all those "wants" that is the shallow problem. Maybe if these women looked more to what they NEED instead of what they "want" (which is always going to be heavily influenced by our society, friends, family, the media, etc.), they would be a lot happier people.
Going after what you NEED above what you WANT is not settling.
Believing otherwise would be like saying "I want a Million Dollars, and I'm not going to work if I get anything less than that. I wouldn't want to settle and thereby be thought of as a loser." | |

Posted: 12/20/2008 9:27:32 PM | I have known some men who are 10 feet tall in honor and respect. People should have the intelligence to see past something so simple as height.
But......everyone has a mental image of what they consider attractive. I can only assume this is only one criteria that we attempt to seek out in our friends. Shouldn't matter, but it does to some. | |

They are screaming to be heard
Only time I ever do that is if I get a "bingo". Gotta make sure the person calling the numbers can hear ya 
(......what? There's lots of people my age or younger here in the bay area that go to the bingo places. ...Besides, they have good food there. lol) | |

Posted: 12/20/2008 11:12:25 PM | | I prefer taller guys because I am 5'8" and would much prefer to look up at my man, as compared to down upon him. I know it sounds terrible and I'm not even sure why I feel that way. Unfortunately, it's just one of those things that taller women consider. In a perfect world, who you date shouldn't depend on how tall or short they are and I can probably date a guy shorter than me if he was a super good guy. | |

But of you're a chronically single woman...you might think about adjusting your list of "wants". Only if you believe it's better to be with anyone than it is to be single. I'd rather be single for life than with a guy I'm not happy with for life. It's unfair to me and to him. Again if you want to be with someone who is with you because they gave up on looking for what they want then have at it. I don't think it's anything to be proud of but hey at least you won't be single. | |

Posted: 12/21/2008 7:51:06 PM | You short guys will like to hear this:
I have a friend who is short. He's about 5'5" I think. He gets so many girls it's crazy. Cute girls and hot girls. He's always on the phone with girls. He's not some big hot muscle headed guy either. I'll tell you what the secret is. Confidence and sense of humor. He will talk to any girl he is never intimidated. He gets tons of attention because he has all these jokes and card tricks. He always knows what to say. If a girl turns him down or is rude, he'll just fire back at her and move on with no problem at all. Last night he was with a hot bartender of the club who was taller then him. He goes out with girls who are taller then him and wear heels. It's all about confidence.
You can get a taller girl if you want. Trust me, my friend is short and gets more girls than any guys I know. I asked him why he goes thru so many. He says he is picky and looking for the perfect girl. | |

It sounds like your friend has learned the tricks and trades of being a Pick Up Artist. For a shorter male to be successful in the dating world it is a good idea to study the pick up artist community. | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 5:16:01 AM | | I don't know that you should tag the guy as a pick up artist. Maybe his confidence and personality are so appealing women don't care about his height? There are a few of us who say we don't care about it. My son is barely 5'7" and slim to boot. He's got all kinds of female attention, some shorter, some taller. He says he doesn't care as long as he can get his arms around them! I think he realized in high school that he was never going to be the big guy, so he worked on his charm instead. | |

Some women ( especially in "real life" ) would be able to overlook a man's height because of his personality. However many women on dating sites would reject a man right away if he is under a certain height. Therefore he would never have a chance to show his personality. | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 12:51:33 PM | | Because u feel like your with a child. Because a guy 6 foot or taller makes u feel secure and u can get lost in his arms and it makes u feel safe. Last but not least......they have small pee wees! Lets say all the short men I have dated! Maybe for some out there this isn't the case! That is why now I try and avoid short, I don't want the short end of the stick! For any of you short men if u don't have a small pee wee, I'm sorry! | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 5:53:58 PM | | I have always found tall men to be so attractive....makes me feel petite and I kinna like that feeling, but for some reason I have always had relationships with short men. Guess as appealing as it is to me, it is not a priority. There are so many other qualities that are more important and come first. Being tall would just be an added bonus, that's all. | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 9:37:52 PM | Zain...It seems that you don't really know what a pickup artist is. All men pick-up women, some are just better at it. Those men who are good at it are artists. The term pick-up artist began with a book "How to Pick Up Girls" by Eric Weber in the 1970's. It male subculture based on the goal of improved sexual and romantic abilities with women using either self-help, an understanding of social psychology and/or techniques derived from neuro-linguistic programming. Being a pick-up artist is not just about sex, it is more about understanding women and the female psychology. There is nothing wrong with a man learning how to interact and communicate better with women.
I think it is a good idea for men who are below average in height to learn the techniques of the pick-up artist community. This helps to equalize things with the taller men out there. At the end of the day women are attracted to a man's personality...A big part of this is how to communicate your personality to a woman. Pick-up artists also teach how to use just the right amount of humor to attract a woman...What woman doesn't want to laugh and have a good time with the comfort that is created through humor. It also teaches how to create higher value...This means giving yourself higher value than other men around. Make her want to be with you and only you. Lastly, it teaches about confidence and how to build it. Confidence is an area that most shorter men lack and women can see it.
Someone who really understands PUA doesn't lie or manipulate and it's not just about sex. | |

Posted: 12/22/2008 10:47:44 PM | | Yes, I prefer taller men. But it's just a preference, not a requirement. And in fact the best men that I've dated have been on the shorter side. I'm not sure if it's because they feel like they have to make up for their lack of height, but whatever the reason I'm not complaining! It keeps me coming back for more. | |

oh please, I know what a "pick up artist" is I know them and alot of times it involves putting on some fake persona just to attract a woman. It makes me laugh some of the stupid things that some gullible women fall for. The more I learn how women think the more I get turned off to be honest and realize the dating and pickup scene is just one big stupid game and a colossel waste of time. Many women are sheep, the only reason they are attracted to a guy is because other women are attracted to him.

Sorry I'm not going to use a fake personality to attract women. | |

Tall or short, you need to pick a man with integrity. Short men cheat too you know? I like hot men and hot men are taller than me.  Its nothing personal against short men. | |
