^ Isn't that an article about meteor showers?

I think guys around my height (5'8 > 5'10) or slightly less should try Cowboy Boots. They might help you a bit to feel better than wearing flats.

That's exactly the attitude though - why should short dudes feel badly about being short, and try anything to look taller? Because being shorter is inherently bad, they should dislike it, and want to be taller? What's wrong with just being a short dude?
I wonder how this attitude would view short dudes who actually like being short dudes.

At 5' 2" I'm one of the shorter guys here, but I have a prestigious college degree, paid for house, good job, and a pretty good retirement portfolio. So, while there is a correlation between height and success, it isn't an absolute rule.

I think people assume short men are weak characters and can't handle themselves? Have you not noticed a large portion of women assume tall men can "kick ass" and handle themselves even if they are spindly?

The female need for tall men has its origins in intra-male conflict and dominance struggles.

Do you hang around with ghetto people? I’ve never once met a woman who said that.

Someone here who returned recently had always accused me of being Napoleon Syndrome (*wink* you know who you are).

Was it me? I don’t remember. :lol:

I like you. You’re very likeable. But you deleted me off Facebook so you lose points for that.

Women want the whole package. It’s not they only want a guy tall or they want a well off guy. They want it all. They want the Prince Charming, tall, handsome, fit, athletic, good paid job, car and home. Who also likes everything they like.

Yes, this is correct. Some people just refuse to see what’s actually there.

Oh, maybe on dating sites. But the dating sites women are a specific kind. It's a real misfortune that socially inept guys turn there and learn from expiriences with them.

Fortunately for most us, those sort of perfect model guys with white collar jobs that have it all are relatively rare and can only be found in the ocean of free willies, hypergamy & over-selectiveness, which is online dating sites.

Avoid women that only rely on online dating sites or online hook-up culture. They are never satisfied unless they lasso the dream guy you talk of. And remember why does a chick that looks half-decent (i.e. not obese or butch) need to use online dating in the first place? Surely it's because all the men she meets and whom ask her out in her real life just don't fit her unrealistic fantasy image.
