Good question. I dont know. I think the media because, there are plenty of girls who prefert short men.
Because they think it defines their masculinity.

Sigh, because all the little people at school look at me and say "Gosh, He's so tall", I never know if they like my tallness or are disgusted by it (Guess it doesn't help that I'm pretty thin). Im about 6"1 my friend who is a bigger build than me never gets anyone talking about his tallness. Its weird, i feel pretty self conscious of it though.
I think its obvious, its because people make a big thing of it, especially women.

Stature is huge @ male attraction + tall people generally do better in life vocationally + you're less likely to be victimised + can reach things :yy:

true especially on the internet
In my school, every year the kids in the years below seemed to get taller :s-smilie: except for the Year 7s, they are always tiny.

But I would imagine one reason is women and 'having' to be taller than them to get their interest.

greater height correlates with a larger shoe size

larger shoe sizes correlate with larger d***s

Because...people bring it up all too often.

I'm 5ft6. 5ft7 on a good day haha. I can't change it...so there's no point for me to complain about it...but you know, a lot of girls just want a taller guy.

Because everyone seems to make a big deal out of it. I don't understand why a lot of tall guys somehow act superior towards me, and assume I have short man's syndrome or something :s-smilie:

I'm male and 5ft 6, most girls dismiss me because I am short, plenty of female friends but few have wanted to date me. It seems most girls are taller than me and if they where heals thst compounds the problem
