Is being a short man that much of a difficulty in dating

[Anonymous]

My guy is one inch taller than me, and I'm average height for a woman. He is also a good listener, a good cook, never punches down, pampers me at every opportunity, and has a hearty sense of fun and adventure.

All that is available to me, and you think I want height?? Pfft.

All my most successful long term relationships were with men who were 5'9", and these were also the most successful men educationally and by income. I am a 5'9" woman.

Of course you did which is why you're claiming here that it doesn't matter. Notice that you didn't say "all other things being equal". You settled for a man with other desirable qualities because you're not close to perfect either

Since 5.9 is about average height for a man and tall men don't show any particular preference for taller than average women, your outcome was simply what was most statistically likely.

significant other is a fabulous 6’1” and yes wears hi heels and as I love her height advantage both biologically and her shoe choice and those rude outside remarks fall on
deaf ears.

Tall women are the short guy equivalent, look at Netflix movie Tall Girl. So it’s good you found your match but it’s kind of typical that very tall girls have to date a lower status male.

Have you always dated taller than average?

I’ve generally seen tall men LOVE short women. What’s up with that?

I would not date a short man from my culture. Never actually seen a man shorter than I of my own ethnicity.
I have no problem dating Latinos. Almost all the ones I know are shorter than I.

Yes, with all of women’s 666 BS.

Not if you assume that women by default prefer tall men. Which I do not, but many do.

Yeah if you want to date Tyra Banks

Being short is a disadvantage. There's a good percentage of women that will exclude you for that reason even if you'd be compatible in other ways.

I'd assume most women can look past it for a good candidate, which is why people say if your short and can't find a woman it's something wrong with your personality.

But when it comes for online dating, you're filtered out before they see you or find out if your compatible.

And then there's the overall association/stereotype that if you're short, it also means your also going to have personality issues, which isn't fair.

You're also not allowed to get upset about anything or your told your compensating or have "short man syndrome"

It's discrimination, but too mild for you to be allowed to be upset about culturally.

Like;
Man: "He's direct and confident"
Woman: "Shes difficult and bossy"

Man: "He's passionate"
Woman: "Shes too emotional"

Man: "He's dedicated to his job"
Woman: "She's neglecting her family"

Light skinned: "Assertive"
Dark skinned: "Intimidating"

Tall person: "Natural leader, confident"
Short person: "Overcompensating"

Thin person: "Disciplined and healthy"
Overweight person: "Lazy and can't take care of themselves"

But many other factors matter, and generally matter much more, including sense of humor, kindness, responsibility, and being good at listening, none of which can be quantified the way height (or weight or salary) can be.

So people end up focusing on and blaming those quantifiable factors rather than personality.

Weight is a waaaaaay bigger deal with women then height is for men.

Isn’t there a GLP-1 for adult men to grow taller?

I remember the episode of M*A*S*H where Radar ordered lifts. Hilarity ensued.

I'm taller than my spouse and the occasional handwringing over it when we were first dating was kind of funny.
