Is the term short king meant to be a back handed compliment?

It’s really just silly… Being short isn’t something that someone can control and someone judging someone as a human being for something that isn’t in their control means they probably feel very insecure and don’t like themselves, so they have the need to put others down. Just like they will call someone tall a lurch…

Don’t take it to heart. It says more about them then it does you. At least they choose to be nasty people who despise themselves and everyone else. You don’t have to live like that they want you to be as miserable as they are.

Lol, short king. Some people are not so smart today. Why do some women actually think that a tall guy is better for some reason? Can any women explain how these women think?

From what I can remember reading so far is that, it feels more safe, that he can protect you etc. Listen, women, a "short" guy has no problem protecting anything.

If I as a 189 cm tall man, which I find tall at least, but for some women are way too short. (Im not even kidding.) If I go up to a man, any man, regardless of size and start to insult him I will get my ass kicked.

What do these women that go after hight so much think? That tall men are supermen? That they are rambos? Invincible? Is it about looks?

haha...

@Someone34 I don’t know there are a lot of men with very stupid ideas of women. Just let those women get the men they deserve because men who have options and self respect obviously aren’t picking that type of woman seeing how bitter they are

[Someone34]

I agree, I just think its a very odd way of looking at someone. Just like a man that are short would be worse at anything, it isn't logical. Im more angry at the stupidity not women in general.

It’s not a compliment
Some people say it genuinely for sure.
But ultimately, needing to point out that someone is “short” is uncalled for.


I have short friends and I make it a point never to point it out to them in conversation
I know they can handle it and won’t run away crying but there’s no need open up wounds


And I know deep down they don’t like being short

Im 4ft short queen. Im a midget. Guys have no problem dating me. I first knew my husband who is 6ft7 was attracted to be because we were having a conversation, I was standing looking up at his face and he was looking down at my face. Anyway I was wearing a push up bra and my dress showed quite a bit of cleavage and looking it up it became obvious he wasn't looking into my eyes as he had gotten a massive erection.

Did the bulge in his pants come between your eye contact line?

@Zack-Bann yes

It's usually just a joke compliment. Not to insult, but not really sincere either. It's like an internet / meme compliment, like "rizzler" or "sigma" I think. It's fully positive, but just... goofy.

[petitedollbabee]

No, it’s just a supportive term for short men, it’s not an insult - but anything can be used as an insult in specific context.

[Justneedtokno]

No not really and some aren’t really that short they just think they are I don’t consider 5/9 too short

[Anonymous]

switch out "short" for "ugly" and see if it's still a compliment

hey, what's up my ugly king?

[Ninania]

Nope, at least I've only ever used the term affectionately.

[MJVillarama]

Kinda! It’s supportive but still points out height, so it can feel mixed.

[guesswhereivebeen]

Never heard that one before… all I know is it’s usually not good to be known as short in anything

[beefcakebradybatson]

Is "short king" like "short cowboy?"

[Staximus]

Short cowboy sounds better

[beefcakebradybatson]

@Staximus Looks better, too, especailly if I'm the short cowboy.

[Flower7]

It sounds a bit negative to me.

[Staximus]

I think it's stupid

[Staximus]

It sounds belittling, no pun intended haha

[dragoblack]

It means short & confident

[Anonymous]

Nope
