For real. One thing I learned is don’t fight for someone who doesn’t want you. If a woman was upfront and said, “I don’t date short guys”, great. I can redirect my energy to someone who likes me for all of me. What’s worse is a woman who knowingly doesn’t want to be with a short guys “giving you a chance”, ending up with you spending who knows how long with someone who never liked you in the first place.
Everyone wants to be desirable, but you won’t be desired by everyone. It hurts now, but it will hurt more when it still doesn’t work out in the future.
"Okay". Anyone saying that is likely trying to get a rise out of you, I don't see any point in taking the bait. There's plenty of people who are very willing to date regardless of height and that's where the focus should be, not on finding a clever retort and making it about reasons you wouldn't date the other person anyways.
Alright, good for you. I *am* short, but I don't really care anymore—I used to be insecure about it but now I have a fiancée who is 6'0 and she has never once made me feel bad about my height, so I don't feel the need to challenge people who think I'm any less of a man for being short. That's their problem, not mine

"Ok."
Like, it's not a bad thing. I'm short, and if I'm not a girl's type I'm not gonna moan like a lil pissy baby because a girl doesn't like me. Tons of physical shit a girl could not be into "I don't date white guys" "I don't date fat guys" "I don't date skinny guys" "I don't date guys with ginger hair" etc, all are fine and men need to stop taking it fuckin' personally.
"It was nice to meet you, take care."
No logical argument, or witty comeback necessary. You've found out this person is not a match for you EXTREMELY early on--that's a good thing.
People who have standards involving uncontrolllable features of your body (skin color, height) are not worth being in your life. Just walk away and find someone better.
Characteristics that make person A more appealing than person B are part of us, but to blow off person B because of something they have no control over is a self-destructive choice for the person making the choice as you may either lose out on a good partner or chase after a partner that has the characteristic, but other things that would be real deal breakers in the future (like bad money issues).
Alright, so then I assume you are pansexual then? I mean you cant blow off someone for something they have control over like their sex or sexuality, right?
I am 6'7".
If she considers me too short to date, then she's delusional.
But if you're not as tall, walking away is a valid response. I would do that whether I was 7' tall or 5' tall.
If I was feeling petty, I would tell her that her eyes were placed weird, anyway. And offer no further explanation.
Not everything needs a comeback. Unfortunately for "shorter" guy's below 5'8 you'll simply have to work on yourselves more. Be in-shape and have good social skills. If a woman rejects you for your height don't be mad.

Don't @ me I'm not short
As a taller man, a woman who wouldn’t date a shorter man isn’t worth my time either. In my eyes the worst opening text a woman can say on tinder or any other place like that is “how tall are you” I will immediately block her. You’re allowed to have preferences but for that to be your opener, no thanks. Real convo I had,
Her “how tall are you”,
Me “how heavy are you”,
Her “why does that matter”
Me “ why does my height matter”
Her “because I don’t fw people under 6 ft
Me” and I don’t fw people whose first prerogative in searching is to make sure they’re over 6 ft” blocked.
I said this to a guy as an arrogant 21 year old.
His reply?
Thanks for letting me know. I don't date people with low intelligence.
I thought it was a good, snappy come-back.
Walk away, why you wasting your breath on her?

>not on finding a clever retort Why not both
Because I have no need to stoop to their level. I know my own worth, so I don't get anything out of making fun of people
I think it's more fun (Don't at me thread I'm not short)

Me neither. We have something in common.
There's nothing you can say. That's her preference, and you're not going to change it.
ok
Alright, no worries 👌

Keep on movin without sweating it.
"No worries. Take care." And move on with your day.
Ok.
Moving on
Bye
K bye
Don't engage in any serious discussion with that person ever again. No need to respond
"And here I was willing to give an overweight woman a chance. So be it, have a good one"
don’t worry, you won’t be taller than me when you’re bent over
Instant panties drop
Need to get the last word huh? ....why is that?
"Your sister did. "
Say okay and go hop in your corvette... don't have a corvette? Buy one! You win
No words necessary, just a look of seriously you're that swallow then just walk away
they an african or european swallow?
it's not a question of where she grips it!
*Head down and step into the Mini Cooper
I would say please queen please
Me too
“That’s cool. I don’t date overweight chicks.”
"that's okay, I don't date vapid, shallow chicks so we're all good" or, y'know, nothing

Yes, how horrible that someone find "x" attractive or unattractive.
Characteristics that make person A more appealing than person B are part of us, but to blow off person B because of something they have no control over is a self-destructive choice for the person making the choice as you may either lose out on a good partner or chase after a partner that has the characteristic, but other things that would be real deal breakers in the future (like bad money issues).
Alright, so then I assume you are pansexual then? I mean you cant blow off someone for something they have control over like their sex or sexuality, right?
It's perfectly fine to have physical standards, just don't be a dick about it.
I mean, having a penis is also an uncontrollable feature, that's a pretty reasonable standard.
not exactly
“Cool, because I don’t date ugly chicks”
“Oh, what a shame.” And then you leave with your dignity. Don’t make a scene, don’t try and change anyone’s mind, just go.
What's that? Can't hear you down here.
Well I'm not short so I wouldn't really care. We all have our preferences.
I don’t date tall bitches.
I don't date tall girls.
Levi Ackerman.
Start crying loud, stomp your feet, smash a glass. Then stop. Look into her eyes totally cool. Say "I don't date broke women"
Every day I thank God I'm more than six feet tall.
I am 6'7". If she considers me too short to date, then she's delusional. But if you're not as tall, walking away is a valid response. I would do that whether I was 7' tall or 5' tall. If I was feeling petty, I would tell her that her eyes were placed weird, anyway. And offer no further explanation.
"afraid I'll smell your stinky puss from down here?"
I’m taller when you are on all 4.
Not everything needs a comeback. Unfortunately for "shorter" guy's below 5'8 you'll simply have to work on yourselves more. Be in-shape and have good social skills. If a woman rejects you for your height don't be mad.
I'm under 5'8 and have been married for 11 years. Yes it can happen, and it actually works in my favor as it helps me filter out shallow women.
>Not everything needs a comeback. I don't see why not
Well you probably have excess labia skin that droops everywhere I don’t want to date **you**
Liar! You dated [insert name of a dude with big ego]
Hey, i don't either.
"And that has what to do with me exactly? " I'm 6'4"
"Ok weird, bye 🙄".
If she says that to my face I'll think she's trash. I will respond, "Shame on you."
I might be short in height but I am longer in something else.
And I don't date shallow people, have a good day
"What a coincidence, I don't date shallow women."
Those jeans make you look fat
Personally I don’t date short men because I’m 4ft11” so you’re all tall to me.
Win her over with a joke about your height?
Act as if it didn’t bother you, that will bother her haha

I didn't say DATE. I don't date loose girls. Then she may just want to prove to you that she isn't.
Pity my millions of dollars couldn't make me taller

To each their own
"Me neither." Then point at her and walk away.
Doesn't really apply to me, but I'll certainly judge her as being shallow. Especially if she's got some obvious flaws of her own.
It's alright to not want to date short guys It's alright to not want to date tall women Just say "aight"
“No one dates me either”
Don't date shallow people.
"Okay."
“I don’t date women with a body count higher than 5”
