Short guys are doomed

I often witness groups of girls who laugh at short guys and say offensive jokes. Imagine their chance of dating, it's zero. It must be depressing for short guys, I would be. If you're short you can forget about girls

Seriously mate, gloating is a sign of insecurity.

I thought this forum was about relationships in general, if I notice a pattern in how people relate why can't I talk about it? I see it many times so there is a pattern and there must be some truth. You can notice it on this forum too, there are many threads by short guys who complain about their failure. It's also interesting that I don't notice the same by guys, groups of guys don't laugh at short girls. This means height isn't a factor for the attractiveness of girls. Guys do however laugh and joke about fat girls, this means that weight is a factor for the attractiveness of girls. Makes sense
I guess but as short girl idm short guys what do you consider short ?

"Why shouldn't you talk about it?"... because if you're supposedly this great looking guy, who's drowning in p***y, it's not really your problem; is it?!?

It would be different if you were offering some constructive advice to all the short guys (either ways they can compensate for their height, or encourage them to live the best life they can without women)

Evidently (in your own post), the short guys already know / believe they're at a significant disadvantage compared to their taller competitors... they don't need to have it rubbed in their face by some smug guy standing on a podium pointing out how s**ty their life is.

If you can't help them, just do your own thing, and leave these "poor short guys" to sort their own problems out.

Short guys live longer on average. So much so that the difference in average life expectancy of men and women might be largely explainable by the difference in height - or by the difference in growth hormones.

If I were offered a choice between longer life expectancy and groups of girls laughing at me and making jokes at my expense and dating being more of a challenge and needing a stool to reach stuff on the top shelf, I think I'd go for the longer life expectancy.
Doom you say?

After renowned short guy Samwise Gamgee helped Frodo Baggins destroy the one ring in the fires of Mt Doom, the local hottie Rosie Cotton threw herself into his arms. Their 13 children is testament to the amount of action Sam got.

I disagree, then you can talk about football and Real Madrid squad only if you're a footballer player and a Real Madrid supporter? That's narrow minded, everyone can say their opinions. If you don't like other people's opinions don't read them. And I think acceptance is useful so there are useful points in this thread too, it's more useful than other threads that tell short guys that they have no disadvantages so they keep being rejected and waste time and energy for a lost cause, being more depressed as they keep being rejected by girls. The sooner they accept it the better
Any guy, regardless of their height, that feels more depressed because of rejections from girls - is the sort of guy that doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend - when compared to guys that do not get disheartened at all by rejection.

Sorry, but I'm not buying that you've got any interest in helping them at all.

If you'd have made a thread titled along the lines of "It's tough for short guys, but there are some advantages of being single", and then went into detail , that would have been different. Even the title of this thread "Short guys are DOOMED" suggests that it's all downhill for them, and that they may as well end it all now.

And I'm not sure if you're getting at me personally here, but I've never said that "short guys have no disadvantages". I MAY have said that short guys will have to work significantly harder, and compensate for it in other areas (e.g. The late singer / songwriter Prince was only 5'2" and it didn't stop him from becoming a sex-symbol, thanks to his looks, style and above all musical talents). If they can't compensate, then obviously they'd have to lower their standards / expectations (e.g. forget about the hottie in the Versace dress, if they're willing to do that)... but I don't see how / why they can't find someone if they really wanted to.

By all means, prove me wrong and offer some real, useful, constructive advice for them, if you really have their best interests at heart.

The reality is you spent your Friday night on TSR. I hope you have some luck with the opposite sex in the near future.
If short guy has a lot of money then girls look at him at different way, trust me. Sow that a thousand times.

Lol of all the silly putty you read on the internet. If girls care about how tall or short you are then they're hollow and not worth hooking up with. If girls or people in general judge other based on appearance features, then they are shallow people who aren't worth knowing or communicating with.

Girls have preferences, one of them is they don't like short guys. There's nothing wrong with that

Prince was famous and rich lol. You give false illusions and hopes to short guys. They will not be international superstars and they will not have girls, that's the reality. Acceptance is the best way, if you delude them with false hopes they will be disappointed and have resentment. There is no solution to shortness, girls just don't like short guys.

Short in what sense? That's a generalization, I'm sure there are many women who love short guys. Not sure what's lead you to believe this, probably school or a fashion magazine or something.

WTF are you going on about?!?

I'm not giving anyone false hopes. Re-read my post, I specifically said that they stand a chance of meeting someone IF THEY CAN COMPENSATE FOR THEIR HEIGHT! Furthermore, I said IF NOT, THEN THEY SHOUD LOWER THEIR EXPECTATIONS. And I never said they would be players or anything like that. Seriously, what part of that do you not understand? Am I not speaking in English?!?

Look, either quote me correctly or ignore my posts completely; DO NOT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH!!!

EDIT:- I'm still waiting for you to post some constructive advice for all these short guys lol.

Exactly, this is just one way.

EDIT_2:- Just to clarify, at NO POINT am I saying that being short is an attractive or desirable feature... but what I AM saying is being short doesn't have to completely define someone; in much the same way being black, Asian, of a certain age etc. doesn't completely define someone either. There are many aspects that make someone who / what they are. And if they have other qualities, then together they may override the shortness.

It's a bit like owning a dog... I don't think anyone (in their right mind, at least) actually enjoys picking up after their pet has done it's business, but it's something responsible dog owners will do, because the other perks / benefits of owning a dog (e.g. companionship, friendship etc.) make it a chore worth doing.

Girls want Aragorn. A real woman want Samwise 🥰

I prefer men who are taller than me, and I don't feel I should be apologizing for my preference, but being short is far less unattractive than being miserable and cynical.

So smile, sweetie :wink:
