Are short guys the bottom rung of males?

Question

No. It's a disadvantage since most women prefer a taller guy, but it's not as bad as many guys make it out to be.

Insecurity about it is more of a turn off than actually being short itself. Women are different to men in that they care a lot more than men about other things that mainly have to do with personality, such as confidence. For example we don't care if a girl is shy as long as she's good looking, we dont care if the girl earns money, drives a car, lives with her parents etc. We're more looks focused. All of those things are turn offs to most women though. Yoi're making the mistake of looking at men as men would, not as women would.

Confidence is the number one trait that they find attractive. That's why it's the insecurity that holds you back, that'sa lack of confidence. With any insecurity like this, or any disadvantage, you have to be confident enough to not let it bother you.

There are guys my height, 5'4", who don't have a problem finding women including myself. The one thing I and those guys I know like this have in common is that we don't give a shit. The one thing guys who complain about their height and blame their lack of success on it have in common is a big insecurity around it.

If you can laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously you'll do fine. Sometimes people make short jokes about me, many girls have, rather than get upset or defensive over it I just laugh with them and joke about it myself.

I am going to be honest
Yes, to some extent, they are
I mean it is just basic natural selection from women, they mostly want a taller or same height.
Many would tell you otherwise, but they won't be checking you out, if you are short you will need to do more work sometimes.
And think about it, I am not short, tall, I am average, good look... Etc, never had a date.
So it is not like everyone is meant to have a partner, just hold on, and you will make it and find your dream woman, you only need one.
Preferences means nothing when the right person comes.

I’m 4ft 11 and weigh 100 pounds. I doubt a man will be shorter than me. In fact, even the men that are considered short are all tall in my eyes. So to answer your question, they are not the bottom in my list. In fact, I would put them on the top just because I’m extremely short and don’t want to be with an extremely tall dude. I’ll look even more like a child 😆

Nope, my boyfriend is shorter than me. He's still attractive, smart, open-minded and kind. He's at the top rung, many people believe our relationship to be the strongest & therefore i get comments saying im lucky to have such a nice and genuine guy. No one gives a fk about his height.

What do you consider short? While I might prefer a guy that's taller than me, it's definitely isn't a deal breaker, or really a problem at all in my opinion, if he isn't.

I don't think being short is the worse physical feature a guy could have. I think having bad hygiene (Not sure if that counts as a physical feature?) or being obese is worse.

Nope. Broke fat guys are but short guys are way down there too. Most women want the top 10% of men, tall, handsome with lots of $$$$$. They expect this without doing anything to earn it. Even women at the bottom 10% will still seek out the top 10% of men.

Rodgerinho · Answer

Well tall guys die way sooner. You ever see an old dude over 6'? ? They don't exist. So I mean. . . . short guys just need patience, they can get all the 80 year old puss they want. Lucky, lucky bastards!

Logorithim · Answer

I think guys that are unemployed and don't have decent job prospects are at the bottom rung because there are always short girls for a short guy to date.

kaewk · Answer

They still have hope, just depends on the society in which they live. Any guy 5'8 is good for me because its tall to me loooooooool.

Letitgoogoo · Answer

I dont care about height and a short man can be just as attractive or even more as a tall man. height isn't a big deal to me.

pitzi · Answer

No! I like all types of men as long as they're not obese

JSkiy · Answer

Actually , no, in my experience, short guys are better in every way (except for reaching high, but they have ladders for that)

MarketData · Answer

No, because short men overcompensate by being extremely aggressive. Napoleon is said to have been short even for his time. Entrepreneur Bernie Ecclestone is exactly five feet tall... or so he says. I think maybe he added an inch.

My SO is a good 4" taller than me. Doesn't bother either of us.

I've dated 2 short guys, and loved them. But honestly things like kissing were awkward and kind of a turn off. I wouldn't date another short guy.

That's just as stupid as saying that tall girls are the bottom rung of females.

MeatPuppet · Answer

Yes. I'll never get laid and it's mostly due to my very short height.
