Do short men feel insecure about their height? I'm asking because my brother is 6ft tall and he thinks he's really cool - I tried to explain to him that height doesn't matter to the average woman but he doesn't believe me.

I love short men - like Al Pacino :biggrin:, so I wanted to know whether men really care about their height like my brother does, and how much they really care.

Well I'm 5' 6", so I'm not tall, but also not tiny. It never really gets to me that much. Sometimes it can actually work to my advantage. The only time it every really annoys me is when my mate, who is 6', makes fun of me, but i counter this with a fat joke, and all is cool, haahaa. :biggrin:

Why?
What sort of height would be considered short in a man, generally? I'm about 5'8'' so I can't really comment from a tall or short perspective.

lol I love the Godfather - It's my latest obsession.
Can you tell me why you wouldn't want to be less than 6 feet?

It's a quote from Micheal in the Godfather (is that in part one or two?), played by Al Pacino.

EDIT: Unless you actually were talking about the height comment, in which case I'll shut up. :redface:

Your bro thinks he is cool for being 6 foot? Rofl, doesn't have much going for him then. 6 foot isn't even tall for starters.

hehe - you shouldn't let it annoy you at all! And I'm quite sure the fat joke is much more annoying :wink:

Because when I am walking down the street I don't have face-to-crotch encounters with everyone. :eek:

Nah, I just like it; it's useful for a lot of sports, I can always see what's going on at gigs etc, I don't have the problem of any girls I like being taller than me (which a lot of them dislike) and just generally I think tall guys look better than short ones. It's a matter of opinion though I suppose.

I know but he's got the build of Mike Tyson so he's moderately tall and very muscular. He's really sad - he always compares his biceps with mine in the mirror.

To all of those guys moaning about being short, just be damn thankful you're not Danny Devito. I think he stands at exactly 5' give or take. Now that is short.

He compares his biceps in the mirror with a 15 year old? To be honest I dont think that he has the build of mike tyson. I dont see a problem if hes just a bit confident - some people are just like that, if he was 5"8" he would still probably be really confiend. Dosnt make any difference really.

What do you mean 'so what?'. Im not insulting him. In fact i love the bloke. He's funny, cool and can still work the gangster look even though hes short as hell. If i ever think to myself 'i hate my height' i always think of good ol' danny boy

Most people prefer the guy to be taller in a relationship, therefore both short guys and tall girls are at a disadvantage and have less people to choose from. So I would say it's better to be tall if you're male and small if you're female.

He's a bit bigger than Mike Tyson I think - muscle wise. But he's so obsessed with height - he wants to marry a tall woman so he can have tall kids and he doesn't like me drinking caffine as apparently is stubs your growth.
