Tall men get short shrift as husbands (Revenge of the little man!)

"The guys who are real leaders of the pack tend to not be very nice people. You don't want them around kids, they can be violent and leave you for someone else," Dr Neave said.

The short, ugly man weighs in with his opinion. ;)

"If they are very handsome and very desirable there will be lots of other women competing for their attention."

That's what it's really all about. Some men prefer less attractive women for the same reason: fear of competition.

These studies always cause me to chuckle. Usually it's becauase the little guys usually gets slammed. I wonder if some short guy lobby complained loud enough to slant someone's research in order to make us little guys feel better.

BTW, I'm five feet even, white, male, former nose-guard, wrestler, infantry Marine, now an active duty Navy chaplain on the world's finest cruiser. Got a beautiful (taller than me) wife and three great kids. Life couldn't get any better.

HA!

I'll guess I'll have to buy 26 centimeter shorts from now on though.

By the way, remember when Bill Clinton greeted a champion Women's Basketball team in the Rose Garden? Mr. Horndog couldn't take his roving eyes off their blonde, 6'8" center. He even said to her (in front of the cameras) "I've been lookin' for a woman like you all mah life."

I think he also must have an "Amazon" fetish (and a cigar fetish, and a big hair fetish, and a .........)

How may nursing home residence are over 6'? I guess the tall ones have better health until the drop dead?

[SkyPilot]

I don't know. But this is 6 inches.

I am still laughing at that.

[SkyPilot]

Sheesh! Is that Tony Curtis?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

did i say something wrong??? :O I forgot to mention the downside; I've almost had my eyes poked out a few times.

[Doc Savage]

N.Kidman has more to do with a mental disorder than height!

[SkyPilot]

"Svimvear! Very nice!"

[cambridge]

So...tall men get the sex and short men get the slippers. And this is being sold as a benefit to the short guys?

[peacebaby]

eyes put out. LOL.

Is it just coincidence that my boobs are about a man's elbow height, or so it seems....?

< Mr. Burns voice > Excelllllllent... < /voice >

OK, if we're breeding them out of existence how come these here kids are so dang tall, hmm? Martha? Martha?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Just find two short male twins who can stand under your breasts to keep them in the right place:)

[KYGrandma]

This is just stupid, but I did marry the only man I dated that was taller than me. And have been married for 31 years!

[coydog]

I'd say she's been doing some juice...

[Disambiguator]

Who is that woman? She must be 7.5 feet tall.

[Pukin Dog]

Well, I probably should not chime in here, but since the short and ugly men have, it seems only fair that I represent the other side of the coin; the tall, mean bastard that women wish to be impregnated by, who is then desired to disappear in favor of some little runt who can be controlled, cuckolded and castrated.

As a man who thanks God everyday for my singledom, I find these stories only scratch the surface of the reality men face. Anyone who knows me, knows that I looooooooove women. So much so, that I'll never let one of them get their chains on ol' Pukin.

Woof!

[Little Ray]

Fer huggin' and kissin' and cuddlin'.

[LongElegantLegs]

Just because a guy's short doesn't mean that he's weak or effeminate.
