Confession, I am guilty of a horrendous crime. It is deeply shallow, completely discriminatory, and has left me single for far too long.
I hang my head in shame as I confess… the crime is swiping left on short kings.
These mighty men of short girth usually stand at around 5'7 (give or take) and are ignored by the masses. Seriously, ask any woman what their deal breakers are when it comes to dating, and the answer (after a few wines) would be men under 6ft tall.
Now if you were to go looking for a short man in the wild (aka any bar, pub or sporting event in town) they are actually easy to find.
They are that short, hilarious guy who has the confidence and strength of character to flourish in the face of conventional beauty standards. It's like you shouldn't be attracted to them… and yet you are!

"Girth" has to do with one's circumference not one's height ...
What is short 'girth'? Height and girth are two different things.
Beat me by 16 seconds.
I prefer men being shorter than me-—it makes me feel taller and better about myself.
Depends on what part of the anatomy she’s talking about!..........................
“These mighty men of short girth.....”
Freudian slip.....
Regardless of body part, it’s still a circumference not a linear measurement.
Its kind of amazing to me the last few years to discover how much many women value height. I’m 5’11’ so I’ve never been particularly tall or short. One of my best friends is 5’5’ though and he often complained about it. Turns out he was right. I had no idea how much of an advantage a few inches of height are for a guy in the dating market.
“Short” for other guys seems to start at under 5’5” .That’s the point at which I particularly notice it.
Men and women, learn what I did after my ex left (thank you, Jesus) and married again: marry someone who’s legs are equal in length as yours so you never have to adjust the driver’s seat. LOL
Why doesn’t she just hang out at the Jockey Club at Church Hill Downs?
I’ve always preferred to swipe front to back.
I think I know why no one wants to date her, at least more than once.
Satan has been whispering in women’s ears since Eve.
Not only is it good for your self esteem (you'll always feel superior), but when people talk about you it will be "Yeah, you know, the tall, good looking, witty on".
It’s been a thing with girls for a while.
I had a friend in college, over 40 years ago, smart, good character, would give you the shirt of his back. But he was short (about 5’3”), and could NOT get a date.
Don’t have a problem with your confessed crime, but you need to be flogged for your crimes against the English language, sweetheart.
Only 14.5% of American men are six foot or over.
Add on all the other "must haves" on a woman's list: funny, high status, good paying career & financially secure, lean, athletic, full head of hair, smart, helps in the kitchen, helps with housework, loves children (or not), shares her interests, agrees with her politics ...
You can understand why so many women end up Strong, Independent Cat Ladies in their 40s.
