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”
indeed ... and i’m seeing more and more of these gross errors in articles all over the Internet, and given what’s recently come out about so much of the Internet content now being written by AI programs, such obvious and gross errors are a sure indicator that the article you see them in has been written by AI and very little, if any, human editing has occurred ...
“ 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.”
*****************************************
He should have become an actor. Lots of short actors have no problems getting dates.
A post wall, declining SMV chick, almost 40.
There is a new term; gassed up mid. That is what she is, a post wall chick with and inflated ego
“... and if you learn from my mistake you might just meet the perfect man..”
Forget about it...we all suck at bottom.
she likes tom cruise because he’s short... right.
and rich doesn’t play into it...
she’s a gold digger high maintenance poser.
5’11” and 54 years old are the cutt-off specs for men
51-52 yo for women
I’m thinking that shorter men could compensate by working out and getting very muscular.
Go to the local shoe guy and tell him to put on big heels and all your shoes, then get to the thickest you can find soul inserts. You can get an extra 3 inches in no time. By the time she figures hell how tall you really are she’s already into you and it doesn’t matter anyway
If your 510 always list your height is 511 on a dating site
Well at least she don’t have to get on her knees to *ahem*.
A hundred years ago, women with inflated ideas of what kind of guy they "deserved" would get quickly deflated by parents.
This was especially the case when men were expected to marry young and before having sex.
What a piece of idle, attention-getting fluff. What she is suffering from is by-line count.
Oh that Martian!
Yes, I think that is the major appeal. Our DNA told us it is important for survival.
Yknow, I just cant say that Ive seen that, at least not “then”. Im closer to short than tall and there was never a problem with someone attractive wanting to spend time with me to the point that I used to hide out on occasion just to rest up. I never heard even heard this from my ladies friends really, not nearly as much as other various requirements some had. I guess I could have guessed but didnt hear this was a serious requirement for some until more recently.
Then again, some things change because so many are influenced by TV or other elements in culture tell people are the “right things” to choose. Seriously, in the past how many guys really thought that a woman that was shaped like a boy was something to chase? Now it seems every other guy that considers himself straight thinks that women with no discernable development is what they want to be seen with and have no idea that they have been influenced by the pedo/homo agenda.
Biggest isnt tallest and Ive walked out with many a pretty lady on my arm leaving Jethro scratching his head.
