I think it's either insecurity or passive aggressiveness.
+1 yHere 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.

So nice to hear!
by the way I am just curious, what's your height?
And how short can you like it on men? - +1 y
And yeah , women can alter looks by makeup/heels/waxing etc but men can't!
Why is it so unfair for men - +1 y
@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.
- +1 y
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? - +1 y
@cyclingkmi Remove that "merely", 5'6 is okay
- +1 y
That's almost half foot smaller than you.. a significant height difference
- +1 y
@cyclingkmi big whoop
- +1 y
Do you still find him manly?
- +1 y
@cyclingkmi He's got a dick so?
- +1 y
Merely having dick n balls qualify as being a man?
That's a male... not a man if he is so short - +1 y
@cyclingkmi Why?
- +1 y
@cyclingkmi A male is a synonym for a man.
- +1 y
Merely having penis n balls doesn't make someone a man
He definitely is a male - +1 y
@Kinkyhubby What's your opinion on this?
- +1 y
You have never looked down upon or disliked shorter men despite being a nice tall woman?
- +1 y
@cyclingkmi I look down on superficial assholes. That's about it.
- +1 y
Have you ever sensed a short man being insecure and intimidated by you?
- +1 y
@cyclingkmi The only ones who felt insecure were superficial people having problems with me liking short men.
- +1 y
Love it. So true. I will be loud and won't ever back down. Once someone underestimates someone, the other person already won.
- +1 y
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.
- +1 y
@Kinkyhubby 5'11 + 4 inches heels equals to 6'3
And that's a 9 inches height difference - +1 y
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
- +1 y
@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
- +1 y
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.
- +1 y
@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.

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.
01 Reply- +1 y
So even you provoke them for their short height as you know they're sensitive about it?
by the way how tall are you?
+1 yWell 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.

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
- +1 y
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? - +1 y
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.

+1 yIt'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.
00 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. 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.

@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.

What? That's a huge height difference TBH. Signicantly shorter than her.
Why did she choose so so short? - +1 y
@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.

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.
