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!

My wife and I will shortly be celebrating our 41st anniversary.
When we met she was 5'2" and I was 6'2". The car I owned then had bench seats and on a long trip to meet her family (we were both in the Air Force at that time) she insisted she drive some. I had to sit in the back seat because I couldn't fit when she adjusted the front seat.
Needless to say every car I have purchased since then has had bucket seats.
I think youre definitely on to something.
The milkman?

Probably will be a crime in the future but for right now, preferences are still allowed.
I had a woman ask me how tall I am. I asked her how much she weighed. She flipped out on me.
What is a “post wall”? Is this the kind of woman where I write “gnarled was here” on her butt the next day or what?

A generation ago this kind of discussion would have been considered odd or abnormal. But liberal feminism has destroyed relationships and marraige over the years, and here we are.
There are three couples of my acquaintance where the woman is both taller and “bigger” than the man. They are all in long-term marriages and are chiefly bound not by looks but by each other’s commitment to Christ.
That's a cute quip; but there may be some truth to it. I recall reading a study once that married couples of similar height have statistically better chances of going the distance in marriage. Doesn't apply to all, naturally; but it's something to think about.
It’s good to be equally yoked.
Amen.
You let her drive?! 😁
Amen.
You have to wonder how you get such a big jump in just two generations.

Better nutrition for you and your wife than your parents and grandparents had.
Hocking loogies also comes to mind.
‘Had to look it up.
The firm is “Anchor Hocking”
“working out and getting very muscular.”
Some short guys overdo it to compensate—but in moderation it is a good idea.
A few inches does not matter that much—the key is to make height go away as an issue.
There are many ways to do that—the first place I would tell any young (short) man to start is to read Sun Tzu “The Art of War”.
They need to choose the “battlefield”—absolutely critical—no point in wasting time in clubs where tall men hang out, for example.
Only if they become stars.
Prince was 5'2" and got lots of women. But again, he was a multi-millionaire rock star.
