[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make six digits, and more than my teacher wife. But I wear the pants. The kids and her can't get out the door in the morning without my hustling them. Make dinner? Me. Scouts and sports? Me. Leaders in all. Church too. Not her. In a nutshell, I'm a good dad, economically attractive and even physically decent...with one caveat: I'm short. Women literally overlooked me while they looked for tall dark and handsome. We have several single X-gen female friends who, while they have done very well career wise, are not happy with not finding a man. My guess is women are passing over lots of good men, economically attractive men, because they still harbor Disney delusions of how he should look. [/quote]

Being short is your problem, not theirs.  Some men won't date a heavier woman either.  Oh, well. [/quote]

Not the same. Overweight people can lose weight (with rare exceptions). Short people can't just decide to grow. [/quote]
Even if they could lose the weight, some men wouldn't want to date an over weight woman. They are not going to see her and think, "Oh, she's nice, and she can lose the weight so I will date her".  Similar for flat chested women.  Yes, they can get boob jobs, but men who like big chested women are not going to look at a flat chested woman and think, "potential with boob job".[/quote]

Even if a man thought, "potential with boob job" as someone with small boobs, that would never happen. Either you like me or your don't... Weight is a health issue and I can even see why people could have an issue outside of how unattractive people see it as.  [/quote]
[b]maybe some women don't want short men because they don't want short children, sort of biological thing.  Isn't that why men say they are attracted to women who are not too fat or too skinny.. something about biology and fertility.[/quote]

Not PP, but attractive figures (to both men and women) are tied to evolutionary biology.  [b]Tall, powerful men are best able to bring home the bison meat and protect women and their offspring from pterodactyl attack. [/b] Women with figures that suggest fertility are most attractive to men.

Remember attraction is not a choice.  These attraction traits are locked in a part of our brain we can't control.   [/quote]

I think your brain has bigger issues than controlling "attraction traits".[/quote]

Hahahaha! PP is such a dumbass! [/quote]

I like fat women because they are most capable of bestriding Triceratops.

[b]Yes but a smart modern man will simply buy that meat at a supermarket.  Maybe that's why things are struggling at the moment, women now want a smarter man than the one who fought a bison yeons ago[/b].[/quote]

Yes, this is modern woman's dilemma.  The part of her brain she controls knows that being provided for and protected is not dependent on a man's stature, as it was 20,000 years ago.  She continues to be physically attracted to height and strength, however.  She can't help it and it is not wrong.

Signed, a man.  [/quote]

Yes she can.  There are plenty of ugly, dumb, tall men. Height is only one variable in someone's appearance.   I am classically attractive and would pick short, handsome, smart every time over tall and mediocre [/quote]

LOL sure  :roll: [/quote]
