      If you’re chill, respectful, and can make her laugh, most of the time you have a shot

        That’s very individual. I know exactly one woman who insists her man must be taller than her. Most I know like tall but don’t really care much. And I know one that has an upper limit while shorter men are ok.

          And how many women do you know with shorter partners? Go out in public and look at all the couples you see, how many have shorter men?

          Everyone says they don’t care, but the bias is 100% there even if they don’t admit it.

            Women are generally shorter than men, so I would expect couples with women shorter than men to be more common even if the pairing was random. There can also be a bias on the men’s side - it is not easy to be a very tall woman.

        Short kings, who own who they are and remain confident about it, are absolutely welcome in my bed.

        However, short, whiny men who use their height as an excuse to complain about women? I don’t want to be with someone like that, regardless of their appearance.

          I would never want to bed someone so condescending.

          Short men are allowed to have feelings and we are allowed to speak about our disadvantages.

          What’s next, you’re going to go up to a fat woman and tell her she can go fuck herself if she gets upset that people find her unattractive?

            There’s a difference between “having feelings” and “blaming a group for not dating (you.)” If someone doesn’t want to date you for something you can’t change, that sounds like dodging a bullet. Confidence is hot. Being whiny about being rejected is not.

              I never blamed anyone?

              All I said was that height was a factor in women’s choice.

              They are allowed to have choices and I am allowed to be upset that I’m considered less desirable because of it.

              And fuck off, a man expresses how he feels and he’s “whiny”? Fuck this shit, you’re a jerk.

                I never called you anything, either. Go re-read my posts.

                The only times I used the word you were:

                I used “(you)” to complete one sentence, using parentheses precisely to express that I wasn’t referring specifically to you (if I had been, I would’ve just said “you.”) The sentence after it contains “you,” but it’s a statement of fact no matter who reads it. Where’s the personal insult?

                I spoke about two camps: short kings and whiny complainers. If you chose to see yourself as being one of the “whiny men” instead of as one of the “short kings,” that’s 100% on you.
