Why do women lie about short men having a chance?

[Anonymous]

I lie to make short men feel better

I lie so that I don't sound mean

I lie so that I don't sound like a hypocrite

I lie for other reasons

I don't lie about it. Short men have no chance.

Some lie because they're being asked by strangers, some lie to keep up an image, some don't really lie (they believe they're telling the truth), they've just been conditioned to think their attraction to a guy comes from non-physical attributes and that it's just coincidence all the "smart, funny, caring" guys they've loved were tall and had a chiseled jawline. And then there are some who just want the guy to be taller than her, so short guys really have a chance with her if she's short herself.

[Anonymous]

They lie because they don't want to admit to being superficial, and if they say its just a preference then guys can have preferences too, which would mean they can be scrutinized for all their imperfections. So they flat out lie instead. Some tell the truth about being superficial and I admire that.

i dont lie, normally im shorter then short men so they are all tall to me. i havnt met a guy shorter then me yet. height really doesn't matter to me or looks at al, what matters to me is the connection i have with them and personality and common interests.

[kaylaS91]

... you mean the fact that I've been with my boyfriend (who is shorter than me) for several years with the only people who seem to have an issue with our height difference not adhering to societal norms are those NOT in the actual relationship is a lie?

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

Um... Could we please just take a look at Kevin hart for a moment?
And I actually like short guys the same as tall ones, even though I'm over 5'7

[GoldFan1001]

Its called money and he's funny so of course women are gonna over look his shortcomings no pun intended. But what about normal short guys? I'm 5'11 and I'm still considered short by a lot of women. Its like God forbid if he's not 6'3+ he has no chance.

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

@GoldFan1001 um, yeah? Of course he has to be funny for me. He has to be funny no matter what height, otherwise it would make a relationship unbelievably impossible. Or at least have a sense of humor. And like I said, I like short guys about the same. Not really a shortcoming. Last time I went on a date, he was 6'3, attractive, muscular and a mechanic which is goods money, but I said I don't want anything more because his personality just wasn't well suited to me, I like funny clever men, while he was serious and simple.
And Jo, you're not short by my standards.

[GoldFan1001]

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I give up.

[GoldFan1001]

Stop lying 5'11 is short.

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

@GoldFan1001 nope! Its not. And I go to a dutch school, so I know whats considered tall. It might now be super tall, but its still tall.

[GoldFan1001]

So what's considered tall to you then? And what does being dutch have to do with this?

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

@GoldFan1001 Lol, people who have dutch ancestry are known for being really really tall. And well usually anything more than an inch taller is tall to me, though their build effects how they seem too. Like I have a friend whose probably 6'5, but he's so skinny that I don't think of him as that much bigger even though he's so much taller. Super tall though would be like the 6'4-6'6 kids walking around my school, though maybe they're more than that.

[GoldFan1001]

OK so wouldn't me at 5'11 put me in the short category.

[CorruptedDocument]

@GoldFan1001 you're talking to a high school student, the most indecisive thing you'll meet in your life.

[JailbaitGamerGirl]

@CorruptedDocument Goldfan is younger than me? XD and also Im not, I just have broad tastes.

[alice55]

It all depend on the country, I've seen plenty of short men dating tall girls. It's not a problem as long as they have a good personality.

[jahmie]

its probably because they are being interviewed and they dont want to become the bitch that said they dont like short guys and become some meme or something they just say what they think people expect them too so they dont ruin their reputation

[hawkeye92]

Because they pretend to be idealistic and caring because they want to be presented in that false way to others. "look how accepting and nonjudgmental I am!" When in reality they are judgmental as much as any dude is.

[Eternallylucky]

They can have a chance but if you're going to use the 'being short' as the only trait to attract a woman is not going to happen. If you have a big personality funny or just interesting, it would add more credibility to you too.

[mae_kookie]

short men have a chance since I'm short too.
i prefer a guy who isn't shorter than me tho. if i really like him then ofc i would forget about his height.

[AaronTupaz]

I've dated taller girls and I'm 5'6 and no prince charming. Confidence and being comfortable with your own body is key, and many times they won't even notice they're taller until much later.

[ObviouslyBored]

Well on this one I'll have to say no. I can not take short guys seriously. It is one of few things that turn me off. At least I'm being honest as usual

[Kkaos]

Ah, 2 male down votes... Surprise Surprise. And you ask why women lie? Because they don't want to get shit from frustrated and insecure guys. Pathetic. Accept it, people have standards.

[Kuraj]

7 ugly Janes who think they can afford to have standards and one good looking girl who has the highest standards but is also the shortest by far.

Welcome to "where are all the good men?" boys.

[raspberry0416]

To be fair a lot of the women said no...
But if the guy is handsome and in shape, he would still do ok even if he was a little short, like around 5'6.

[HOAAH]

I don't want to sound mean, but honestly it doesn't matter what a girl says... if a short guy found a girl then he found a girl

[GoldFan1001]

Correction only good looking guys find girls to date.

[Wwwyzzerdd]

@GoldFan1001 Agreed.

[GoldFan1001]

@Wwwyzzerdd Thanks of course no girl is gonna admit looks overtake everything.

[Wwwyzzerdd]

@GoldFan1001 Hypergamy is real.

[Anonymous]

Sad losers get no pity party.

Short guys have plenty of chances. Whiners don't.

[ADFSDF1996]

At least they are trying to be nice unlike the people with "big man syndrome".

[Rissyanne]

I have nothing about short men... but my preference is tall men. I am sure you have preferences.

[strangytie]

Short guys do have a chance as long as they aren't complete shitheads (this goes for tal guys too)

[GoldFan1001]

You mean if they have money and or good looking. The majority and when I say the Majority of women I'm talking 95% want tall men.

[Wwwyzzerdd]

.00000000000001% chance of success

[djVex]

ok... and men lie about short girls? like wtf terrible topic lol

[GoldFan1001]

I'm 5'11 I love short girls

[djVex]

same lol, this topic is pretty dense.

[GoldFan1001]

I wouldn't say dense but I never see guys who are under 5'10 with women except my neighbor but he makes a decent living.

[Anonymous]

I don't lie, short men have a chance but most sabatage things with their low self esteem and I can't deal with being around that

[Dim1213]

Same thing with tall girls often.

[Opinion Owner]

@Dim1213 I agree

[GoldFan1001]

Never take dating advice from women they don't know what they want. If a women rejects a guy for his height people will say its her choice or she has a preference but if a guy rejects an overweight women he's seen as shallow.

[ElianaSchechter]

Silly manlet boys have no chance with me! I always make that very clear! Short "men" are delusional, insecure, little creeps - I need a real man! Tall men only. Being short is a death sentence (for men).

[ZuriBlu0219]

Im five ft 3 so i want a guy thats around my height. It doeant fit social norms bt society cn kiss my ass!!

[Anonymous]

We don't, some of the short guys I know are really popular with the ladies.

[Anonymous]

Women dont like to offend. We can tell they lie though. Whatever makes women sleep at night.

[Amelia444]

[StainedClass]

Women lie about everything.

[MoeAli]

[Wwwyzzerdd]
