| short men dating tall women - why not?

Why should relative height matter?
This is probably a double post and it's only based on my experience and a man's view but I have found that very short men seem to be much angrier than tall men - maybe this also applies. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 12:12:09 AM | | This theory has just been mentioned on Breakfast. Some study claims the taller the person the happier they are. It said that shorter men were unhappier and more aggressive. Dont shoot the messenger. I am just agreeing with Pimp. Its my experience too. | |

So why is Andy Murray such a misery?
Why is it that the taller ones on here tend to make the most aggressive personal comments?
I'm not knocking you, btw, just the results of that survey... | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 12:42:06 AM | | I think thats more to do with ALL tennis pro's being miserable gets haha. I think its all a load of bollox I know as many angry short people as I do tall people. All I know is I like tall guys because Im a tall woman. My 15yr old son is 6ft 4 and growing and there is no way I could go out with a fella who is shorter than my son... would be too weird. | |

surely it's only an issue for tall women not short men ...
a tall woman isn't going to be a problem for a short man but a short man will probably be a problem for a tall woman ....
I've found that my short male friends actually don't want to date anyone taller than themselves. I think they feel less 'manly' if their woman is towering over them.... | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 3:57:06 AM | | I dunno about tall men being happier than short men ... but I have noticed among the men of my acquaintance that they seem less keen to fight. My brother is 6ft4in and big (not fat) with it: he had never been in a fight in his life, but he says that he sometimes gets short guys trying to pick fights with him in pubs. He says, "I've got two lines of defence - I laugh, and if that doesn't work, I run away." My son is a 6 ft. rugby forward who will defend himself if he has to, but would do anything to avoid a fight - and he too finds that it's the little chaps who want to start something. Perhaps it has to do with trying to prove something? | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 4:44:30 AM | Msg 161:
My experience of aggression is that when it has occurred it has been directed at me by blokes who are bigger than me. I have never started a fight in my life, but I have had to learn to defend myself. Sometimes appearing aggressive - even when you aren't really - can prevent a situation from escalating to violence. Most people who start fights are bullies and most bullies don't like the prospect of being hit back.
SMS:
If there are two blokes - one tall, the other short - and they are both acting like knobs, people will say that the short one has Small Man or Napoleon Syndrome. The tall one will just be a knob without any pseudo-psycho babble theories being put forward. I'm not sure which one I'd prefer!
BTW I'm frequently told I don't have SMS. I'm not sure if this is a compliment or not! | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 4:52:30 AM | | I have seen this as well shorter men being over defensive either in real life, or on forums. But it dosent bother me if someone is the same height as me and the only reason ive never dated someone shorter is because no one shorter has never asked me out. I have a female friend who is 6ft and her boyfriend is 5'6 and they're happy so each to his own i suppose what works for some wont work for others. My brothers & the majority of their mates are all over 6ft but have a mate who is 5'4 and he gets frustrated very easily on a night out when everyone gets served before him at the bar and he gets knocked into when people are walking past with drinks (didnt see you there haha etc) or women just blank him because hes not tall and hunky he often ends up drunk and aggressive at the end of the night because hes pissed off. Its gotten so bad my brothers stopped going out and about town with him not because hes short but because of his attitude which turns more vicious and aggressive as the night wears on (which really is brought on my others being ignorant) vicious circle really. | |

I'm short and have only been out with two ladies taller then myself, that's not through choice on my behalf though. I don't have a problem with a taller lady but like somebody as already stated it is the women in general who don't.
Anyway I didn't feel less manly when we went out, in fact I took great delight in watching people react, in high heels one was almost 6ft so a good 6 inches higher then me. I know it did worry her at times IE meeting family they were all tall but it still went ahead.
But I know myself you can't help your preferences, we all have them.
PS I'm not going to get angry over this lol | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 11:22:25 AM | For some reason maybe its just co incidence but I have found that short guys are usually more successful in business. Maybe because they give up looking for love knowing that women prefer taller guys and just get on with it.
As for the anger, yes certainly short men are far more aggressive and don't take being dumped well at all. But that could be just because there is a glut of short men on dating sites in general, so they make up most of the population here.
I have coined a term for them now SMS Short Man Syndrome | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 3:09:19 PM | | Once went on a date, where the guy said he was 5'6". I'd admit I did wear heels, but he turned out to be shorter than me. At 5'1" this is the only time this has happened to me! | |

Also know as napoleon syndrome, been around a long time has both terms.
Interestly Napolean and Hitler were both quite short and had a bit of a temper. lol
when you see all the football hooligans fighting, I would say the majority of them are a decent height, you don't see many small guys there do you, these tall men don't seem too happy in the pictures I see.
For some reason maybe its just co incidence but I have found that short guys are usually more successful in business. Maybe because they give up looking for love knowing that women prefer taller guys and just get on with it.

Posted: 9/30/2009 10:06:59 PM | Apparently small guys have bigger knobs, or is that just perspective i.e they are same size but look bigger on short guys!!
If so then are fun-size mars bars, regular mars bars to a small guys
and a king-size mars bars also regular mars bars to big guys
thus making regular mars bars, king size mars bars to a small guys?
This means small guys get the better deal - the mind boggles
Stuff like this is important to me  | |
