Not true, read the links that discuss more recent research. It is 100% a thing. Not all short people have it —- but some do. My anecdotal experience is one thing but there is plenty of emerging info out around it. They’re also much more likely to be successful — overcompensating in height. Tall men have the world handed to them (politicians, CEOs, actors) because they project power. Another similar consideration, most CEOs have one od the 3 dark traits. To be powerful, Machiavellian traits are rewarded. Social science databases can reveal more than a Google search |

I addressed the biases with tall men. More likely to hold dark triad traits |

| I’m 5’3” so it’d be uncommon to find a man shorter than I am. I had this hopeless crush on a guy in college who must’ve been 5’6” or possibly shorter. |

| Hell, no. But then I'm 5'2" ... |

| I'm 5'10 so I've dated so many men my height or shorter. It is something I have actively struggled with. It is so much internalized misogyny to take issue with it and I've worked hard not to care. If you are a tall woman who won't consider dating shorter men, you are eliminating a lot of great possibilities. |

| For the 5'10 woman who says it has to do with submission, I am also 5'10 and have been "dominated" by plenty of shorter men. |

Huh. I’m 6’ and have only dated men taller than I am. Maybe a handful who were right around 6’ as well? I think the average would be at least 6’3” though. Married a 6’5” hottie and am still shorter than him in heels. |

... but how? Are they physically commanding in some other way, like muscular? Or is this some mind play thing? For me it wasn't possible to feel overtaken by someone I'm physically larger and stronger than. |

DP.. if you are tied up, even a scrawny man can dominate you. |

| I only date short scrawny men or short piggies I can ride. The question is one of girth. Will I even feel anything? I had a tall buff boyfriend and I was like “is it in yet?” Short men are the unsung hung bedroom hero’s. |

No. I'm 5'6 and I would possibly date my height if they were good looking and had a great personality. I have had sex with guys my height and no issues.
But my preference is that they are at least taller than me in heels. Most of my ex-bfs and DH are all in the 5'9'-5'11 range. I think I've only dated one or two guys that were over 6'. |

Sounds like his height is the least of his problems. He's lucky to have found you. |
