And the first place goes to insecurity and passive aggressiveness! That comes as no surprise to me.

[Stressyalaire]

Here is a short guy trait for you, that's actually positive. People underestimate them. So when he does something good, people might be more surprised and give him more praise than if it was a taller guy doing it.

He could be a calm person, a sweet and caring person, charismatic. He could be faster, stronger than a tall guy. Height is height, but people's hobbies can change the outcome, people's life choices. I'll pick the toned muscly short guy, you can have the tall thin plank guy. I may be taller but a short guy can still easily lift me up and carry me upstairs. I'll take that short guy who's gone wrestling and boxing. You can have the thin tall guy. I feel safer with the short but BEAST of a man holding my hand.

I'm backing them up because I've seen more pieces of shit that were taller than shorter. And short guys, they're judged on something they can't change, and they're men so you won't be seeing them in heels. Meanwhile there are many women who COMPLETELY change their face with make up, wear wigs, have long nails, extensions, ... I think that's embarrassing. And I find it Fugly.

I'm not one of the make up barbies out there, but I do wear heels from time to time. I alter my height that way, and I can. But they can't, they're men, they are shamed by society if they would do that. In that sense, I have the option to change my height, but men do not.

[cyclingkmi]

So nice to hear!
by the way I am just curious, what's your height?
And how short can you like it on men?

[cyclingkmi]

And yeah , women can alter looks by makeup/heels/waxing etc but men can't!
Why is it so unfair for men

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi I'm 5'11. As for how short I like my men? I don't know, it's not one of the first traits I look for in a partner.

[cyclingkmi]

Damn you are quite tall blessed soul.
You don't have a criteria for height of a man?
You can even go as short as merely 5'6?

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi Remove that "merely", 5'6 is okay

[cyclingkmi]

That's almost half foot smaller than you.. a significant height difference

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi big whoop

[cyclingkmi]

Do you still find him manly?

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi He's got a dick so?

[cyclingkmi]

Merely having dick n balls qualify as being a man?
That's a male... not a man if he is so short

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi Why?

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi A male is a synonym for a man.

[cyclingkmi]

Merely having penis n balls doesn't make someone a man
He definitely is a male

[Stressyalaire]

@Kinkyhubby What's your opinion on this?

[cyclingkmi]

You have never looked down upon or disliked shorter men despite being a nice tall woman?

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi I look down on superficial assholes. That's about it.

[cyclingkmi]

Have you ever sensed a short man being insecure and intimidated by you?

[Stressyalaire]

@cyclingkmi The only ones who felt insecure were superficial people having problems with me liking short men.

[Kinkyhubby]

Love it. So true. I will be loud and won't ever back down. Once someone underestimates someone, the other person already won.

[Kinkyhubby]

Stressyalaire maybe we should go on a date, since I'm 5' 6", you can even wear 4" heels if you like. This guy here is a moron. Being tall doesn't make you a man either, just make you a taller ass hole.

[cyclingkmi]

@Kinkyhubby 5'11 + 4 inches heels equals to 6'3
And that's a 9 inches height difference

[Kinkyhubby]

So who cares beside you, you are the only one hung up on height, I guess you are insecure about a lot of things. Guess your not a man

[cyclingkmi]

@Kinkyhubby dude MANY girls do care about a man's height... maybe few of the girls who answered here don't , but most do care

[Kinkyhubby]

Not really. None of the girls I met or dated. Maybe more today superficial fake girls. Good luck with them. If they are hook on that problem, they have bigger problems, it because they are insecure themselves.

[Stressyalaire]

@Kinkyhubby I'm with you on this. I had to drag you in to this. It likes he's trying to fish for me to put a man who's short down, like he's doing. It's not really working.

[Kinkyhubby]

Hehe. Anytime

[FreyaRed]

They are different and not all of them behave like slimy eels. Nevertheless it's a lot of fun to provoke them because they are always very sensitive over jokes about their shortcomings in body height.

[cyclingkmi]

So even you provoke them for their short height as you know they're sensitive about it?
by the way how tall are you?

[Kinkyhubby]

Well Im 5' 6" I always treat my girlfriend and wife well. I hold my family close to my heart and will do anything to protect them. May be short and stocky, but i don't back down. I have many tall arrogant guys think because they where taller, I wouldn't put up a fight and push back. Boy were they wrong. We aren't passive aggressive or anything else, we have to be the way we are to be taken serious. We get loud so people hear us. Because stuck up bitches like you, won't even give a short guy a try, because your own image with your 4 in heels on, would make you taller then the guy, and you would be insecure about it. And those heels are probably making your feet look nasty.

[cyclingkmi]

How has life been for you being a short guy especially at a young age?

[Stressyalaire]

Happy to read this.

[Kinkyhubby]

I have had a great life, just don't judge a book by it cover. I served proudly in the military, amd had a great job afterwards. Height meaning nothing. If a woman has a problem with it, it is her own Insecurity.

[cyclingkmi]

You even served in military with 5'6 height?
How did it felt to be there being around with much taller men (and women)?

[cyclingkmi]

How tall were your gfs and what height is your wife?

[Kinkyhubby]

Military life was fine. It was easier for me to hide n be concealed, I dated girls anywhere from 5' 2" to 5' 10"

[cyclingkmi]

What about in hand to hand combat with taller men?

[cyclingkmi]

Damn. How were you able to woo so much taller women?
Did any girl ever said anything about your short height?

[Kinkyhubby]

Because I was always a scrapping with my brothers so I knew how to fight, hand to hand is no biggie if you do street fighting no rules. Sometime hieggt puts you at disadvantage. It is easier to take a taller person down. And women never complain about my hieght

[cyclingkmi]

It's easier to take a taller person down? How so?
I guess height is always an advantage in fight... no?
You never had any girl who rejected you for being short for a man or maybe shorter than her?

[Kinkyhubby]

Taller people have a higher center of gravity, makes them fall easier, plus a kick to the ankle has more weight on them, and can break easier. And no, I never had a woman rejected. Because a lot of tall people a lengthy and no muscle definition, and are lean. Not stocky and really manly looking. So you have your answers, you can move on now, because you are starting to sound like a Moron.

[cyclingkmi]

Hahah ok ok ok ok ok ok

[wowop99266]

A wife and a girlfriend, my man.

[andreasderjuengere]

Other: Creativity and ingenuity :D

Of course your other 'options' are somewhat valid for the loser types - and they do exist. But only if they meet -or met- too many prejudiced simpletons.

I wouldn't say that they make a majority, though.

[andreasderjuengere]

Afterthought... by the way - let's talk about your bra size? 😜

[inhua]

doesn't look like there are any positive traits here on the list

maybe because shortness in men is seen as a negative trait and only get other negative traits attached?

Halo Effect/Devil Effect 101

[AngryCarl2]

It's a mixture of pettiness and aggression. I voted for overcompensation because that's what it is. Short guys are easily overlooked so to prevent this they become loud and argumentative, often adopting unpopular opinions so they stand out from the crowd.

[OfDeath]

Short guys will naturally be insecure given that they exist in an environment which is hostile to them. Similar to a chihuahua which barks and everything because that is the only way it can attempt to discourage attacks.

Tall guys will often be very confident in themselves and often friendly because they have little to fear. It is what it is.

[ShesRad80]

big hearts

[NYCQuestions1976]

What cartoon is that from?

[ShesRad80]

@NYCQuestions1976 i dont know, i just do the gif/meme thing on here

[NYCQuestions1976]

Okay thanks. 👍

[ShesRad80]

@NYCQuestions1976 if i find out ill let you know

[NYCQuestions1976]

Cool.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

@NYCQuestions1976 It's from Zig & Sharko

[NYCQuestions1976]

@Wraith_Cemetery Thanks. 👍

[cyclingkmi]

You mean they have nice heart? 😋😳

[ShesRad80]

@Wraith_Cemetery i found it yesterday not too long after he asked and messaged him 💕💕✌

[ShesRad80]

@cyclingkmi some do yes

[cyclingkmi]

Some tall men have big heart as well then!
by the way how tall are you

[ShesRad80]

@cyclingkmi yes i know lol and 4'11

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

To be honest, out of all the short guys I’ve seem, they are great partners. I can’t generalize to all, but they seem to be amazing partners.

[cyclingkmi]

Seriously? How tall are you and how short height have you dated?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@cyclingkmi I am not talking from my experience. I am talking from what I’ve seen in other couples. I have had only one relationship and he was a foot taller than me.

[cyclingkmi]

Would you be ok dating a short guy?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@cyclingkmi Yes, though I don’t like shorter than me.

[cyclingkmi]

What if a guy is exactly your height?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@cyclingkmi Preferably he is taller than me. But I know some tall women dating short guys, like 178 cm aunt of mine married 160 cm man and their children ended up being 180 cm models. And the husband was amazing to a wife.

[cyclingkmi]

What? That's a huge height difference TBH. Signicantly shorter than her.
Why did she choose so so short?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@cyclingkmi She was very pretty but promiscuous in her youth and nobody wanted to marry her. This guy though ended up being an amazing husband.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

She wasn’t my aunt but a sister of my grandpa. My grandpa was also promiscuous but for a man it was not considered a bad trait at that time.

[Anonymous]

What is the primary female trait?

A. Resource hunting.

B. Status hunting.

C. Clout chasing.

D. Back stabbing.

E. Desiring abuse in a sexual context.

[midnightmoon05]

You are not nice.
those has nothing to do with height.
sounds more like who you are.

[cyclingkmi]

Mostly short men seem insecure and sensitive.. no?

[Alli39]

Good gods, you really do have a negative impression of short men don't you? Not all short dudes are inherently insecure/show negative behaviors as a result. Just saying.

[Spongebobssocks]

Why so much hatred towards short men?

I dont think there is one primary trait other than being short. But being short for a man can still be tall for women.

[Rangers]

Well, we are seen as less attractive because being tall is associated with greater strength and confidence. Which is rather true

[Spongebobssocks]

@Rangers well women want to feel protected so in a way yes but a short man can still be tall to a woman

[cyclingkmi]

How tall are you?

[Rangers]

5'9"

[cyclingkmi]

@Rangers I was asking the woman

[Spongebobssocks]

@cyclingkmi 5'2

@rangers 5'9 is avarege height. Thats not short at all. My crush is 5'9 and he is way taller than me🤷🏼‍♀️

[cyclingkmi]

How do you think about short man and what is your criteria for a man being short height?

[Spongebobssocks]

@cyclingkmi i would date a man 5'5 and above. But I think short is under avarage so 5'7 and below. But its still tall for me lol

[captain_voidwalker]

I'd say hard working. Most men 5'9 and shorter spend thier lives working thier asses off making something of themselves. Enough to impress my 6'3 self. Not thier fault you ladies are superficial and can't see past thier hieght.

[Simslover92]

I'm with a short guy and he is awesome with none of the traits you listed.

[cyclingkmi]

How short is he?

[Simslover92]

Either 5'5 or 5'6... can't remember.

[cyclingkmi]

How tall are you?

[Simslover92]

5'4...

[cyclingkmi]

Ah I see. You both are almost of same height then

[cyclingkmi]

What if a man is somewhat shorter than you?

[Simslover92]

I've never met a guy shorter than me but if I did and I wasn't in a relationship and he was nice enough I would give him a chance.

[cyclingkmi]

Even if he was significant smaller than you? Around 5'0?

[Simslover92]

Yes I would. Height doesn't matter to me as much as it does other women.

[cyclingkmi]

But height is a very important thing of a man's or anyone's appetite, No?

[Simslover92]

Height is only important to those that really care about it. I don't. It's the person that really matters. As long as he's taking good care of himself and has a great personality it shouldn't matter.

[cyclingkmi]

Don't you think this looks odd?

[Simslover92]

Not at all

[cyclingkmi]

Unusual for sure. No?

[Simslover92]

I wouldn't say unusual per se but I guess you don't see those types of couples everyday.

[DermalPunch]

I chosenother because their common training having is having a cute face. Shorter guys have way more handsome faces.

[cyclingkmi]

So you find short men cute and handsome and hence attractive?

[DermalPunch]

@cyclingkmi yes, all of the shortest guys I dated were always the cutest. I do like height but I like a handsome face more.

[cyclingkmi]

Cute doesn't mean handsome

[DermalPunch]

@cyclingkmi true. But that's what I mean. Handsome to me. If I guy is handsome and attractive to me I say cute. I say handsome when I am being a bit facetious.

[cyclingkmi]

How tall are you? And what is your criteria for a man being short?

[DermalPunch]

@cyclingkmi 5'7" and under is short to me for a man.

[cyclingkmi]

How tall are you?

[Nikki1989]

The short guys I know have none of these issues. It is mostly internet trolls that are delusional about their height.

[AaronKrieger]

They either are insecure as individuals or pretty confident. I haven't met many who were in the middle

[BrickBiggems]

I sense some repressed bad first hand experiences. Might I ask why you are seeking answers for this question?

[Anonymous]

Manny Pacquiao is 5'6 and Mayweather is 5'7. Insecure and passive aggressive huh?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You apparently haven't been on construction sites with many Mexicans have you?😏 Probably just white guys.🙄

[shades777]

to even ask this question shows your lack of intelligence. height is a genetic so a person can be any type of personality at any height

[Kingofkings1992]

What is the primary 21 year old girl trait? A) Judgmental B) Two faced C) Bitchy D) Entitled) E) Being clueless about life

[TallAnon]

There's so many short guys, they really don't all have the same trait

[shortster]

My primary trait is quiet calm demeanor. We aren't a monolithic group of people.

[liliyurisan]

I dated a short guy last year for 4 years but he's actually the worst.. he dumped me

[cyclingkmi]

What was his height and was he shorter than you?

[liliyurisan]

160, he's Japanese.. no we are in same height.. he doesn't have insecurities or anything, compared to other exes they are tall..

[cyclingkmi]

But why did he dump?

[liliyurisan]

First, he's Japanese.. he's pursuing his PhD, he can speak my language very well, he's friendly, he has a good job.. and I thought I could be safe with him, I thought he won't cheat or anything but turned out he's the real cheater 😂 education, a good job, skills are his pride.. he's short but actually he's perfect..

[cyclingkmi]

What language do you speak? And why did you not have any problem with him being so short for a man?

[liliyurisan]

Im Indonesian.. for me appearance are not important at all.. personalities and how they treat me is much more important.. I don't judge people by their appearance that's so silly.. they are also human just like me, I'm not perfect as well..

[cyclingkmi]

Would you be ok with a guy being shorter than you?

[cyclingkmi]

Looks don't matter? You'd be ok even with a below average looking guys?

[liliyurisan]

Well yeah

[cyclingkmi]

If a guy is skinny?

[liliyurisan]

Yes appearance are not important, I don't know about other girls but my mom always taught me that appearance are not important and don't judge

[liliyurisan]

My German ex he's too skinny but too tall haha

[cyclingkmi]

What if a guy kept a beard? What if he had very hairy chest?

[liliyurisan]

It doesn't matter of course haha

[cyclingkmi]

And what's your preference?

[liliyurisan]

Personalities, calm person, smart, doesn't have short tempered, he's not a runner when we have argument, and of course he's not friendly towards other girls that's the most important haha I rather date someone who is rude 😂 also he never give me silent treatment, I need to take care of my mental.. the Japanese guy gave me silent treatment for 1 year and a half and I went to the therapist

[BoopBoopBeep]

"not being tall"

[Anonymous]

Insecurity. I know that since I am one short guy! Life sucks. You won't understand that.
Why ask?

[TheUniqueOne96]

Damn, more spaming accounts. 😂

[abc3643]

My, this is a rather bigoted question!

[Avicenna]

How come you haven't listed any positive traits

[FunkyMonkee]

Ummmm, he's short?

[Jazzy54]

Every short guy I know is different.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Large genitalia. 😂

[Rangers]

Depression, speaking from experience

[DextroShade]

If I were to put it into one word: frustration

[DrKrieger]

Why you dunking on the short kings haha?

[imfreeze95]

The term Napoleon Complex exists for a reason.

[gothbxtch]

[cyclingkmi]

What? What? Joke?

[gothbxtch]

[cyclingkmi]

Gosh 😩 taallll

[cyclingkmi]

Can you be attracted towards a much shorter man?

[gothbxtch]

@cyclingkmi ofc

[cyclingkmi]

Much shorter as in 5'4 or so?

[gothbxtch]

@cyclingkmi yes!!!

[cyclingkmi]

What if a short guy feels emasculated and intimidated by you?

[gothbxtch]

@cyclingkmi i would hope he wouldn’t feel that way and try to make him feel more comfortable

[cyclingkmi]

Try to make more comfortable by?

[gothbxtch]

@cyclingkmi being more “approachable” etc

[In_Trance]

Ridiculous

[exitseven]

Overcompensation.

[jahaims]

They are short
