To all the people out there saying women don’t like short men well it may be true a lot of women prefer a man taller than themself but there is women out there who would consider dating a shorter man.
Zendaya is taller than British actor Tom Holland for example.
Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman are both taller than Tom Cruises.
Michael J Fox is also short but he is married and has children

It's because the single most commonly expressed physical attribute from single women seeking a man is that he be tall - often exceptionally tall. Only 14% of American men are 6' or taller, and yet a massive percentage of women will not consider any man shorter than this - even women who are barely 5' tall themselves. Many women consider "short men" (usually anything below 6') to be "non-masculine" or just plain unacceptable - and they aren't shy about expressing that opinion. So, of COURSE any guy who is shorter is likely to not dislike being short.

Tinder just announced that they are testing a height filter, so that women can filter out short men (something they already try to do). Yet, you're never going to see filters for women's weight, or "disable beauty filter" options, or cup size options, or anything that a man might care about. Why? Because women would find that offensive - but no one cares if men are offended. That's the state of society today, and has been for decades.

Yes and now that I think about it, it's more depopulation brainwashing b. s.

[MrOracle]

It's absolutely intentional, yes, and no doubt, there are people on the BoD who think that depopulation is necessary and they will push for anything that forwards that agenda.

[sean1234]

On every corner, every front... pro abortion, pro small families (past generations had like 6 kids or more), expensive, like in South Korea, so no one is dating...(too busy to work) and not just there either. Then there is the bad diet pandemic, the elderly is living 20, 30 years less and younger people are far less healthy than the past, saying is on autism on the rise💉💉💉 is an understatement.

People😈 are working hard for it.

This world needs to read the Holy Bible so badly. I'm reading mine now on this Sabbath Saturday.

I’ve heard short guys complain that most girls want a taller guy. So in a way they feel left out

[Simslover92]

Looking at dating shows on YouTube, I find that it's because of women. They put so much into height that it's quite ridiculous and usually it's the short women who want the tallest man which is really ridiculous. I don't mind a short guy. My ex was short and as much as I would try to reassure him that there was nothing wrong with his height, he kind of always had an insecurity about it but hid it well.

[Nikki1989]

That seems to be mainly an online thing. I know many short men and have never heard any immature whining about it.

[Shiprex]

Men won't complain to women about how they feel perceived by them and open up knowing women have a tendency to use that information for their own benefit often against them.

[Apple1996]

They're insecure because they think girls only want taller guys. Which just isn't true

[SotiCoto]

Are you fucking kidding?
Women generally won't touch any guy shorter than themselves, and Men will tend to look down on (both literally and metaphorically) any guy shorter than themselves. To be a short guy involves both shouldering the implied guilt of privilege that modern society lumps on all men but ALSO to be completely rejected for having failed at basically the #1 thing men are expected to be: big and imposing. The ONLY short guys who can get away with it are literal dwarfs since they at least have a medical excuse.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I agree with you on height, but large and imposing? That does seem less generalized a wish to me, since many places and cultures rely on thinness instead of largeness

Because women ridicule men and guys who are short, I place the blame on girls and women. I will tell you why. A guy or a man can have tall guy friends and be best friends with each other. I've seen shorter guys play basketball and play well against guys who are 6 ft+ and have fun playing sports even with dudes bigger than him. Even when working out, I've seen 5 ft 6 or 5 ft 7 guys go to the local YMCA to work out next to a 6ft muscular dude; therefore, it's not like guys are ashamed or scared to be around taller guys. It's women and girls who reject guys when it comes to dating, marriage, relationships with, "eww, you're too short". Women constantly need validation on their looks and if they don't, they feel worthless. That's why a woman or a girl could never step in a guy's or man's shoes, ever.

[Shiprex]

Because their "sexual compatibility" is almost universally judged by society on that factor by women in particular but also men. They're deemed as inferior to tall men by women primarily and treated less respectfully by them and others in general.

Society sees larger men as better. Just look at the ignorant dismissive comments by folk here.

[Chazmatazz269]

‘Taller’ would be a better descriptor there in the end. “Larger” also intones fatter, and the body positivity movement isn’t for men. Short dudes and fat men are still fair game for shaming, ridicule and bullying.

[Shiprex]

@Chazmatazz269 Yeah but skinny tall men aren't the same as less tall broad men so I used bigger because size covers so much with regard to male anatomy.

[Kingofkings1992]

Because people associate lack of height with lack of masculinity. Some men like to blame their lack of success with women on their physical attributes, but in reality, that’s almost never the case. It’s actually their lack of confidence in their physical attributes that drives the majority of women away, not the physical attributes themselves. Sure, there are a portion of women who’ll reject men because of things they can’t control, but these women are not the majority and they’re women who aren’t even worth being with anyway. Your physical attributes ( height, penis size, physique) don’t matter nearly as much as people like to think they do. All you really need to do is have a decent personality, be able to hold a conversation, and have CONFIDENCE in yourself, and women will be attracted to you.

[spartan55]

I honestly feel bad for short men. I don't understand the whole 'must be 6 feet tall' crap, I mean you are only going to date 14% of guys? Oh yeah okay. 🙄
I am 5'10 so very few women are taller than me. My height has never been mentioned once in my relationship experience.

[DonaldDarko]

From what I can tell height is some kind of a sex lure for humans. Women want protection and they associate tall men with strength and power. I've also noticed that shorter males get pushed around by larger males. This is where short man syndrome and chihuahua like aggression in short men comes from. That any of this is happening, says bad things about humanity. It nearly brings human sentience into question as this is animal behavior.

[SamWinchester058]

Because men trend towards what women find attractive. Women drive a LOT of masculine behavior whether they know it or not. If women would stop dating "bad boys" then almost overnight bad boys would go away because men would learn that it isn't attractive anymore. Hence short men see themselves as less than because women dog them on the internet and in public. You probably wouldn't want to date the kind of woman who would make fun of you for your height anyway. Seems pretty low quality.

[Jackblue]

Well there are a lot of guys who like to date fat women, but that doesn't mean women want to be fat. You might say that women don't just want to remain thin for guys they also do it for themselves, and I in turn would reply that it is the same with guys, we want to look tall for other reasons too.

[Dongie]

I think the ones that have a problem with it feel they are viewed as less a man. I had a close friend who had what my dad called the "little man syndrome " and was very touchy, being 5' 3" and just over a hundred pounds, about it. But girls said he had a big dick. So...

[Dongie]

Tom's been married, how many times?

[BCRanger10]

I dunno. Because they think they won't be seen as higher value? They won't be seen as being strong, confident, or powerful? Because they're easier for us tall guys to throw across the room?

[WhitneySnow]

Because it’s seen as unmanly? Or because they can’t reach the top shelf in their kitchen cabinet

[Anonymous]

It’s not even that they dislike being short lol. Im 5”11 and if im talking to a girl who’s 5”0-5”2 and im not tall enough for her that’s just crazy. So many literal midget 5 foot tall women act like nearly a foot taller isn’t good enough and they want the guy to be like, freakishly tall compared to her. Or girls will try to make me feel short cause I’m 5”11 when I’m almost 100% of the time, significantly taller than them.

[Skyros]

I’m 5’9 and felt short all my life until a few years ago when I learned that Robert Downey Jr. and Tom Hardy are both 5’9. Finding common ground with other people, especially famous people, helped me tremendously be ok with my height. Now when tall men and women pass me by I don’t think much of it.

[beenherebefore]

Because they're often made fun because of their height and experience rejection from women quite often.

[AviatorTom]

Maybe because we tall guys get all the girls? 😎

[Anonymous]

Because masculinity is associated with being tall, they see themselves as inadequate.

[TheFallenKnight]

Ourselves? It's you and tall men who see us as inadequate. Even worse, we're seen as subhumans

[Godihateyou]

I sure as fuck do not. Im afraid of heights. I like living longer and I've never hit my head on anything. I've seen it and it looks like that really sux.

[fivebyfour]

I'm 1.73m and not bothered, dynamite comes in small packages!,,,

[Anonymous]

Pardon me if “there is women out there who would consider dating a shorter man” isn’t exactly filling me with hope. Also not all movie stars marry for love.

[Anonymous]

Why do FAT women dislike being FAT? And there are women that dislike being short as well.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I'm 5'81/2". I don't dislike being short.

[sean1234]

I'm only an inch taller and don't consider myself short at all. This height fad is weird. Back in school, the shorter girls thought I was 6ft, lol. But then again, they were about 5'1" or so

[PaleDale]

Women don't like short men, they make assumptions about body parts

[funnyguy11]

If you are short and not handsome and on top of that you are a blonde or redhead guy then your chances of getting a girlfirend sare very small

[robocop666]

ever heard women talk of short men with such disgust. I am 6 foot tall proud of it.

[Chazmatazz269]

Men like women. Women don’t like short men.

[Anonymous]

Its simple because they have really small dicks

[MannMitAntworten]

Tell that to a Shetland Pony as it stands beside a Cleveland Bay.

[JordansGate]

Cause of taller folks?

[Zoe91]

Probably it’s society.

[Luopio27]

Many girls dont date short guys!

[Anonymous]

Is this a serious question?

[sean1234]

This very well be one of those kinds of questions that the only women who disagree with the question are the only ones that respond to it.

[Anonymous]

Why do girls ridicule short guys?

[shortster]

I actually like being short.

[RedInnocent69]

I don’t. I like tall girls 😃

[Anonymous]

Maybe they feel insecure.
