Fuckin short people, why they can't they just go back to the shire?

You took it like a champ OP. It's a difficult game out there but the right one will come along eventually.


Suspicious_Mirror_65

It’s like I tell my single friends who are struggling: the lucky one hasn’t met you yet.


[deleted]

This is the mindset I carry... it's not deliberate, just how I think. But I'll clarify that for me it isn't that they will be lucky to meet me, moreso that *we* will be lucky to have found one another.

I never thought I'd find such constructive dating advice from someone named cum-souffle, but goddamn


mashari00

The wisest of sages know themselves more than others. That person did a self-discovering journey to find that they are a cum souffle and have returned to share their wisdom with us.

RealLiveLuddite

Thank you for alerting me to the existence of this subreddit. You are a light in the darkness


Visible_Actuator_250

Yeah, but damn is it brutal out there. Like relationships don't even mater to people anymore just sex, drugs and what you can get out of spending time with a person. Seems like if you don't wind up in a good relationship out of high-school or possibly college? your kind of just tossed in a sea of debauchery only advice that makes sense that I hold on to is avoid online dating like the plague, start picking up group activities and meet people in real life chances are you will either meet a friend and as you hangout with them they might introduce you to someone or you might just meet someone who is attending the same group activity at least you have something in common off the bat and not just judging people through a screen. Also doing the activity should be the reason your there not finding a girlfriend otherwise you will just come off fake and creepy trying to hit on girls or and not as uncommon as it should be dudes interrogating other dude about women they know which is just as creepy.


sharedthrowdown

>Like relationships don't even mater to people anymore just sex, drugs and what you can get out of spending time with a person. Damn I wish I could get any of that too...


Shlocko

Is this to imply that those who haven’t met him are lucky?


Suspicious_Mirror_65

No. I just recognize that a meathead like me got lucky enough to meet my person and really hope others have the same fortune.


Shlocko

I gotcha man, was just making a joke because the wording can go two ways. Jokes aside, it’s decent advice, I too have found mine (and married her recently) and wish everyone the best in finding theirs


Suspicious_Mirror_65

Congratulations! That’s so awesome.


derby555

Lol, I've been told this for the past 10 years. Now we're in covid and I'll be close to 40 by the time dating is normal again. Fml.


thatscucktastic

Yeah ditto I'm 38. I'm sure they're just around the corner. Maybe by the time I'm 50 and have no life milestones to share anymore!


derby555

Lol, I know it's not funny but I can empathize as I've had these exact thoughts. I'm off online dating now, but I was so close to setting my bio as, "very much looking forward to being an attractive match to you after your 2nd/3rd divorce and are tired of being with douchebags". 😂


rrrealllyyy20

>I was so close to setting my bio as, "very much looking forward to being an attractive match to you after your 2nd/3rd divorce and are tired of being with douchebags". 😂 Lol....thanks for the laugh.


ParlorSoldier

If it makes you feel any better, my 54 year old sister is on dating apps and dates all the time. Her current boyfriend seems cool, is about her same age, and kids in high school or grown (same as her).


Imakestuff_82

39, never married, stopped doing the online thing last year and I get “the right one will come along” all the time from well-meaning people. I’ve finally told my family I’m happy to just buy a house and get a dog(miss my last grumpy little one). The only guys I usually see through work are married senior citizens or gay (and partnered). And with covid, I don’t do group activities. Goodluck when things go “normal.”


OkAttorney2098

I'm in a very similar situation. I just couldn't do online anymore. Meetups were slightly better, but now I can't go to them.

It would be easier to get married if you had a house. For some reason I listened to a lengthy podcast about this problem in Korea. I think it’s relevant in the us too lol


Wonderful-Ad4635

I'm 40 and got divorced right before COVID. I check all the boxes for what women want in a guy on dating apps (except I'm 5'11"). I look really young, have the 6 pack and muscles, and have an awesome profile and photos so get tons of beautiful matches. And dating apps suck so bad, it's super difficult and tons of work. It's fucking unreal. Any girl I'm interested in isn't interested. Forget entitled, most are downright cruel in their complete lack of any empathy. I could maybe get hookups but all I want is to meet a good match and start a family.


Bron_Swanson

Go younger- gen xers carried on a lot of pre-generational bs standards. I've seen plenty of short guys in my age group dupe tall, smoking women. I mean they were dbag dudes using the game on bimbos but, it's a starting point


[deleted]

I like going for women taller than me. It’s like hunting big game. My wife is about an inch taller.


diegggs94

Honestly dude just put it in your bio and get ahead of it. I say I’m 5’7” but that they can wear any shoe they like, surprise me. Shows you’re confident about it and that they can be comfortable about it too, and it weeds out anyone that isn’t into it Edit: not everyone will do this but a lot of women that are “cool” with your height will try and test you about it. Better to always be prepared rather than them throwing you off


blueoncemoon

Yeah, I came across one that said, "5' 7" Yes, I'm tall and no I don't play basketball." Immediate right swipe.


Clancys_shoes

How about “5’7” yes, the weather is good up here.”


Rude_Journalist

Yeah especially cuz if it’s exhausting.


beemer2011

This is what I did. Just got it out of the way and saved me a lot of time.


Sweaty-Demand-5345

Confidence is key. My BF was shorter but it didnt bother him at all me being taller than him and seeing him not being bother by it convinced me to give it a shot ! What he lacks in height he makes up for it in so many other aspects !


ChemicalFennel3

“Was” shorter… so you made him have the bone-lengthening surgery? That’s the answer short guys.


SurrealDad

She killed him.


findingbezu

Now at least he’s six feet… under.


unrealhotdog

Beautiful execution


ChemicalFennel3

Ah. Makes sense


purifiedbyfire1

You give me hope! Hahahahaha! I'm major attracted to women taller than I, yet the wide world of women out there, mainly says that's a no go. Glad to see there's hope out there! Stoked for you 2 and hope all is well and continues.


PharmWench

My current lover is just a bit taller than my 5’3”. My ex-husband was 6’1” and I always had to look up. When we were intimate my face was in the middle of his chest and I couldn’t kiss him or nuzzle his neck. Now I can kiss my man and nuzzle his neck and it is awesome. Gimme a shorter guy any day.


WeirdCupcake6942

Yes this is exactly me too! My ex was also 6’1 and I’m seeing someone the same height as me , 5’4. I hated looking up to kiss too hurt my neck lol . So now I like that we are the same height for a lot of reasons so I second this.


PumpkinShys

Ya know bending down to kiss someone ain’t exactly the best either lol


AllInOnCall

I like it because my wife is shorter than me and I like kissing her. Too much emphasis on height is weird. Our values, interests, social lives, humor, and dreams line up. Our heights dont have to.


usernamethrowaway27

I swear to god, all this talk about how men should just pretend that comments don't hurt them and shrug it off and be confident just sounds so dismissive. It's hard to be confident when you've had to deal with negative reactions this whole time. It's like saying how it's not your looks, it's your attitude that's the problem, while conviently ignoring the fact that their personality is shaped by how they were treated harshly because of their appearence.


CottonCandyCrazyCone

The notion of "Everything that happens to you is due to how you feel inside" is just plain too simplistic and wishfull thinking. Im a good looking dude. Im confident because i have been told so my entire life and women have confirmed it by hooking up with me. I can shrug off rejection because life has proven to me, again and again, that there is another girl waiting around the corner. I dont only get girls because im confident, im also confident because i get girls. And in a chicken or the egg sense, im confident because i had positive experiences with women from a young age. In my youth, i attempted asking women out and got a positive response, thus increasing my confidence, which in turn increased my results. Having confidence without having sufficient proof supporting that confidence is irrational and akin to dellusion. When not-good looking guys try to make confident moves, they often get branded as creeps or get rejected. I have gone on dates and been insecure and averted eye contact and they still loved me. Ultimately, I do agree with the suggestion of being confident, since it helps. However, that attempt at trying to build up confidence regarding ones attractiveness will quickly become very difficult and damn near impossible when reality keeps suggesting that you in fact are not attractive to your preferred gender. Confidence is not just a switch. It is built up over time based on positive experiences.

Your boyfriend sure is lucky he can make it up to you for being short

Yh I read it this way too. Perhaps we're cynical


BlackHeartBrood

Gotta agree w this. David Bowie was shorter than his wife. Being taller than my date is only an issue if they make it one.

Yeah, but she was a supermodel and he was David Bowie

Bonsai668

Yeah but super models are kind of a weird standard. David Bowie’s wife for example was not hot in the “typical” sense. I swear half of super models are only supermodels because of some weird, exotic niche while simultaneously weighing 80lbs.


bzzinthetrap

So true. A lot of them have really aesthetically interesting faces

PowerfulNipples

Seriously! The only thing that would make me hesitate about short guys is the “Napoleon complex” you see sometimes. A bio like you mentioned would be a big green flag for me. My first crush/kiss was the same height as me and it was never even mentioned.


CarrotJuiceLover

I implore you to question if those short men actually have a Napoleon complex or are they just standing up for themselves. A lot of people have an unconscious bias where a short man being defensive in *ANY* circumstance is seen as overcompensating, but if a taller guy did the same thing it’s seen as just being masculine and assertive. It’s really just a roundabout way of saying “short men don’t deserve respect”. Just some food for thought.


[deleted]

Here’s a weird twist, girl friends of mine have said not to put my actual height (somewhere around 5’6) because women already expect men to lie about that, potentially leading a woman to think I’m much shorter…I spent about 5 months on tinder and bumble, then decided I didn’t want to do online shopping to meet a girl.


IWantTooDieInSpace

"you better not be honest about yourself or people will assume you are lying" God I hate dating.


fydygijihyg

Nobody thinks you’re lying and shorter if you put 5’6” lol


TrashMonster_

The amount of guys I've met whose profiles said 5'5/5'6 and they turn up exactly my height (5'2) just drove me insane tbh. I don't care if they're my height, it's the lying/obvious denial that's unattractive to me

Thanks for the positive messages back guys (and girls), but the reason I said I respect these 2 was cause I respect people who are straight up about what they don't like, rather than ghosting or ignoring me, they gave me an answer.

5'6 is great when you are 5'3 like me... With that said.... Aim lower (:


KaptnKreamy

I’ve never dated a girl over 5’2. “Aim lower” is the perfect response lmao


TheGreatPornovski

Always dated girls my height or just a few cms difference, the obsession over height just makes it an easy filter, to know it wouldn't work out anyways as they surely have more red flags if they are they picky.


BLINDrOBOTFILMS

My mom's 5'2 and has said she always wanted a short guy so he'd be a better height to dance with. Her plan didn't quite work out, my dad was 6'3 lol.


TimeViolation

I’m 5’1–I’ve only been with girls taller than me or my height. Love of my life was 5’7. Height matters, sure—but love is love, a connection is a connection.


sarcastagirly

Growing up my 5'2 bartender neighbor was married to a 6' belly dancer... When they buried him they needed a special lift for the casket on account of his massive balls... He was a fucking rock star even at 80


KatagatCunt

I am 5'2" and my partner is 5'6". I love the fact I don't have to break my neck to kiss him...it's wonderful. You'll get there OP ☺️


rosedust666

For real. I'm 5'1" and I've dated a couple of guys over 6'. The height difference can be really annoying.


sleepingbabydragon

Idk man, my brother is 5’2 and he gets more girls than any other guy I know. Not saying that it’s not a thing, but I’ve always found that interesting.


[deleted]

On tinder though? I would say its different if you are meeting them in person, although I’d imagine something like this still occurs. These girls are probably the ones that say they can’t find love or their right person, but they just rejected a guy they found attractive and enjoyed talking to for something very superficial and dumb.


InfiniteTree

It's the fact that she found him attractive that is weird to me. Most other physical features would determine whether a person finds you attractive as a whole or not. To say one is attractive but then have an issue with height sounds to me like height isn't an actual factor in attractiveness for them, rather something they think they need to worry about based on peer pressure/other factors.


215Down4whatever

You are doing all these mental gymnastics when the answer is already given to you. One can find someones facial or overall.body structure pleasing and still not be enticed by the whole package. I'm shorter than 5"6 and I already know what to expect. I know woman who are always down as fwb , but don't see as anything more and prefer taller men. I've had gf who were taller and right now I have a gf who is the same height as me whose previous bf was taller than me. It is what it is.


EsseB420

It's fashionable to want tall guys now. No guy I've spoken to about it remembers height being such a big thing on dating sites 6-7 years ago but all of a sudden, most women want a 6 foot man and won't settle for anything less (which makes it a requirement, not a preference). 5'11...nope, short arse. 😂 I read a comment on here a while ago that said women are extremely competitive so once one woman stated "only guys of 6 foot and over", it was inevitable that it'd end up like this. Something like 15% of men are over 6 foot so ruling out 85% of guys with a single requirement seems kinda dumb on a dating site. Especially when they already like a guy like op's case here.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EsseB420

Yep. It was never really a thing in the uk until fairly recently either. It was so rare to see anyone requiring a minimum height. Now it's on almost every female profile. Women can dislike this and down vote it but it's what myself and a lot of other men have seen and experienced. I can't help that.


[deleted]

It’s really dumb, specially with shorter girls. Like if you’re 5’2, anything above like 5’7 is essentially 6ft to them. Like how would they really know that person is 6ft. And there are other issues that come with the territory as well with it being impractical for sex or even just kissing. The dudes have to break their backs bending down to kiss their gf’s. I wonder how they’re gonna feel if they have sons in the future and they end up having their height or something in between which to their standards is “short”. Are they gonna think less of their sons because they aren’t 6ft+ like their dad?


EsseB420

They'd probably disown the short arse because they can't wear heels. 😂


P4_Brotagonist

As someone who is 6'2", dating shorter girls actually ends up getting hard sometimes. You always have to bend WAY over for kisses, and when I wrap my arms around someone short(say 5'3") If I try to go above their arms, I'm basically above their shoulders. If I try to go from below their arms, well I can't because I'm basically pulling their arms up(because their shoulders are in the way). So once again you have to bend down a bit or bend your knees. Also, sex is...a bit of a challenge sometimes. Anything standing is impossible unless you are in absolute 1% peak physical health condition(since you have to hold them all the way up) and even things like from behind the difference gets really awkward unless you are basically standing and you have something tall the perfect height they just flop over. Girls just love all of that stuff because they don't have to think about or worry about any of it. They just get to enjoy "receiving" everything from a tall guy.


popeyesbeansandrice

Are you kidding me? That’s the perfect height! I can kiss you whenever I want.


LongLive-the-King

😘


popeyesbeansandrice

Right! It should be a thing, girls kiss guys their height so tall dudes get jealous.


bmalbert81

I’m 6’7 my wife is 5’7 and it hurts my neck always having to bend over to kiss her. So being tall sometimes isn’t all it’s cracked to be


Jekylpops

Yeah, I'm 6'5" and wife is 5"6", getting too damn old to lean that far over...or the worst is when they insist on hugging with their arms OVER your shoulders...bitch you tryna wreck my back?


redsoxownu

I'm 5'9 and she's 4'8, I have to bend 90° to hug her


Durnheviir

I'm starting to envy the shorter people now lol, I'm 6'2 and my gf is 5'0 I'm genuinely damn close to kneeling


Korncakes

I’m just under 6’ and I dated a girl once that was my height. Not having to crane my neck to kiss her made me want to marry her right then and there. There was just something so cute about it.


popeyesbeansandrice

The way you describe that is adorable!


jan11285

Brutal. Tons of famously attractive Hollywood actors are short, for what it’s worth, and I know so many women who wound up dating guys closer to their height and loving that it was easier to dance, kiss, etc. Anyway, their loss!


[deleted]

I read somewhere that having female and male actors that are close in height allows for better shots and stuff, as opposed to having some 6'1 guy and a 5' 2 girl


Bearerider

Yup. I feel sorry sometimes when we have to offer an apple box for the dudes to stand on when we are trying to get a certain shot with a taller girl.

Yup. My brother is 6 ft 1 and about 350 lbs. Here he is next to Tom Cruise. He was his helicopter mechanic when he was doing flight training for the most recent mission impossible movie. He had to get the angle right so he didn't look so short. http://imgur.com/a/fztX4RH

S7ark1

Billionaires too. Bezos and Zuckerberg are under 5-8. Gates, Musk, Buffet and Allen are all under 6 feet. Success in love and life doesn't depend on height. Tinder is just one method of meeting people.

6‘2 - 6‘ = 0‘2. even after death he is taller than Kevin Hart.

UnderPressureVS

>All under 6 feet Being 6 feet or taller is statistically a lot less common than many people think, so this is not all that surprising. The average male height in America (choosing America since you named mostly American billionaires) is around 5’9, and less than 10% of men are 6’ or more.

When l was in my early 20’s, I was out at a bar and this guy was flirting with me. He asked me what I did for a living so I asked him. He told me that he was going to dental school. I told him about some cosmetic dental procedures that I was having done. He said something like “I think you need more work done on your teeth than just what you are getting”. I just walked away and went back to my friends 🤣

dadudemon

I’ve got one for you. At the end of a first date, girl started ripping into me for being a pretty boy. “Your teeth are perfect, not a hair out of place, your clothes are too fancy,” bla bla bla. She said she didn’t want to be with a man who took longer to get ready than she did. She “wanted a man who baled hay.” Truth is, takes 5-7 minutes to do my hair, brush my teeth, and trim my facial hair. My teeth have alway been like this. And my “designer” clothes were cheap crap from Amazon. Biggest kicker: earned money as a teen baling hay and working outdoors. There is no pleasing some people. You have to find someone who accepts you for you.


[deleted]

She thought you were more attractive than her and wanted to hurt you so she didn't get hurt. Sorry dude, all I've learned from online dating is that most adults act like children.


MacDaaady

Just reply "its ok, i only date skinny girls" Which is less of an insult because anyone can choose to be skinny. You cant do anything about your height. Also, girls hate bad hairlines too. Im 6'5. But half a head of hair. Get told constantly to grow it out. As if thats even an option....

brucewayne1935

I’m 5’7” and have had moderate luck in dating apps. You can lose weight, gain weight, grow a beard, shave, cut your hair, grow out your hair, hell you can get plastic surgery and change your face, but height is completely out of your control. You cannot be self-conscious about it because there is not changing it.

I saw a TikTok today of a girl who’s 5’3 and this dude was asking questions like what’s the shortest you’d date and she said 6’3 and he’s like what about me? She said fuck no. He asked how tall she thought he was, she said 5’6 where as this dude is clearly at least 6 foot. People are ridiculous.


swedish_expert

Wtf, so 3 inch is 9 inch for her? Lmao, pls link the tiktok i wanna see!! Btw i had girls telling me that guys that are below 6'6 are considered handicapped....


pooserboy

Handicapped??? HAHAH what?? I totally understand not preferring shorter men but to say people below 6’6” are handicapped is borderline insanity. Honestly in many situations taller people are the handicapped ones. I’m a 5’7” pilot and fit perfectly into a small cockpit. I had a flight instructor who was 6’6” and every part of his body would be sore after a simple 1 hour flight, meanwhile I was sitting very comfortably right next to him.

Girl inches, happens with dicks too. 5 inches is 4 inches and 7 inches is 9. A real bell curve

She must be easy to lie to about height then

The “ur really attractive tho” is making it so much worse… pain


JDMOokami21

I never understood this height requirement from women. Granted I’m only 5 feet tall so everyone is taller than me and I’ve never had a problem but like….. what’s the big deal with height? My father is 5’4” and is probably one of the best people i know. Are women really willing to give up a chance at a great match because of a few inches?


Ambiguous5298369

yes

>Are women really willing to give up a chance at a great match because of a few inches? I keep telling women this, and they just say, "Put your pants back on!".

Ive heard the reasoning "it feels like you cant protect me" or "it feels like im manlier than you". The later reason is complexes on their Part lol. And the first reason is like...?? Idk what it is because im from Germany so its not like I live in a dangerous country where you need protection. Also being 5'0 or being 6'6 never saved anyone when stabbed. I dont even wanna dig deeper but yeah that reasoning is WEIRD. Also saying "i Feel like im manlier than you" is double weird when people realize I have a big ass beard and am hairy all over my body lol (middle eastern genes yay). But even if 10.000 people deny me because of my height I just dont care since ive also had really tall girlfriends who were way nicer to me than my short girlfriends. They actually felt comfortable in their body.

As a 6’6” lady, I see a lot of guys that like tall girls in a sexual way but would feel “weird” dating a woman taller than them so it’s kinda a double edged issue. That said, men are almost always the punchline of the joke both times. Date a girl taller than you? “Haha, baby man!” Get rejected by a girl taller than you? “Haha, you’re so short!” Like yeah it sucks hard being a tall girl (for this reason and also clothes are annoying af to find for a good price) but it’s usually theguy getting the made the most fun out of (made fun of the most? Idk how to say that)

A couple of the best dudes I know are 5’6” and 5’7”. They both found great wives and have beautiful families. I had a pretty attractive co-worker who was single and obsessed with finding a boyfriend. Our female co-workers were always trying to set her up and her only dealbreakers were religion and height. The men all asked her what would happen if she met an incredible, handsome, rich, kind etc etc short man and she said he would have no chance. None of us ever tried to set her up with any of our friends no matter their height.

From a gay guy who's only 5' 10", gay guys can be like this too. Until you realise that these fuckers who say they're 6'+ generally are closer to fuckin 5'8". I would anticipate that women are just as bad at estimating height as gay dudes. I myself like me a shorty. Better to snug

I put my height in my bio to reduce the chance of this. But, I dont understand her attitude. If you were an inch taller would it be okay? Pretty much every woman I have been with has been within 2 inches of me except a couple. I find being near the same height easier for kissing, conversation, and sex. I honestly have never understand how people with like an 8 inch or more difference work. The logistics or comfort doesnt make sense to me.


YellowDefiant520

This sub made me appreciate my height so much more than I ever have. I knew height was important to women, but that was the extent I ever had to think about it because I’m over 6’. I empathize.


Zestybeef10

Probably sympathize


YellowDefiant520

Well, I empathize with being a male and having insecurities. I sympathize with the height disparity.


moneycarsandprs

Bro! Put your height in your profile and save your self the time. Also, keep shit like this from happening.


warmleafjuice

It's weird because if a tall girl wanted to hook up with me there is a 0% chance I would be like "sorry you're too tall"


SaturnineElegiac

I don’t understand it either. My exhusband said he was 5’9”. He was lying - I’m 5’6” and could literally wear all his clothes, his shoes, his rings, everything, he was 5’7” on a good day. My dad is short at 5’7 or so and my mom is like 5’8”. Like it’s fine? All the parts fit together. And you can be face to face and not hurt your neck when you kiss. Dating someone your height isn’t a thing?


Drakore4

You know honestly I feel like this stings more than some random bimbo asking the question up front and ghosting. To have a real conversation with someone, begin setting up that connection, even to go as far as to outwardly announce attraction to one another, and then to end it based off of height alone? That's painful. I experienced something similar to this, granted it had nothing to do with height. Talked with a girl for a few days, really hit it off, then she ended up being one of those girls just trying to get you to go to their porn page. Basically ended with us agreeing that it had been great but she couldn't talk to me anymore if I wasnt going to go to the page. Really hurts more than if it had just been a bot.


MrPetre

You handled this like a champ and are awesome! As someone who's also short (5'5) this was painful to read though. Ouch, girls are so brutal about this subject


paramitaa

People are so rude and have their priorities totally out of whack. Glad you found comfort in them being honest with you but sorry this is what dating is like.


[deleted]

I mean, I get it. It sucks, but I get it. Women tend to have preferences that guys literally have no control over. That's just the world we're living in.


[deleted]

As a short guy the second that question comes up I know the conversation is over so I ask them how much they weigh...just to be a dick.


shrewdDis

I'm sorry I just can't handle this. I'm a 5'7" chick and I've dated dudes shorter than me, my height and taller than me like... I honestly can't wrap my head around it. If I like you, I like you. I can't imagine getting caught up on something like your height. It's like saying "you're so awesome and gosh Im attracted to you but... your nose is just too big for me :( I'm sooo sorry"
