Why do short men have it so rough in the world?
I don’t understand it. Short men have it harder in everything and have to prove themselves just for basic respect. I’m talking about the 5′6” and below range. Heightism is one of the last few areas of prejudice left in the world. And I’m not only talking about dating, but the business world. Short men hit a glass ceiling when trying to reach the top just because of their height. They have it tougher during interviews – if two people of exact same experience and everything are interviewed, the taller person always wins. Not only that, if the shorter person is slightly better, they can even lose. This affects our society’s optimal functioning. It’s a bit sad.
I myself am short. And I’m sure that just because of this rant, some people are already thinking "this man has short man’s syndrome" even though everything I brought up is fact so far.
Then, there’s dating. I think I’m just mad because of yesterday night. Normally, I never go clubbing because I have horrific results. No one wants to dance with me or anything. I thought that this time would’ve been different. I approached around 20 girls at the club, and no one said yes or even expressed interest. I’m not talking about numbers here, I’m just talking about a dance. After approaching around 15-16 shorter girls, I tried to approach a taller girl, which was the worst move ever. It’s okay to say no to a person, but what the heck? The way she went about saying no was just so humiliating. She kept calling me ‘little man’ and said ‘I don’t dance with midgets.’ What the hell? I have a heart too. I’m there to also have fun, why can’t you be nicer about saying no? Is it just because I’m shorter than you? Imagine if a taller guy than you said that to you if you asked him! How much would that hurt? I hate it that women feel so empowered by their position in the dating realm that they’re so heartless to men that approach them.
Anyway, I guess the night didn’t end horrible since I did get laid but that’s because I left the club and just called a girl from my class to see what she was up to.
Should I give the club another chance? Or should short men stick to classrooms and workplaces since they can exhibit their personality more there.
By the way, I’m 5′2”
One of the questions someone asked me:
WOULD YOU DATE A 6′1 GIRL??
Yes, actually, I would. I would date a girl of any height that had a good personality. I just can’t do obese because its something they have complete control over.
some girls preferr shorter men!!

Maybe you should stop trying to score ass with cheap shallow floozies in the club scene–same advice I’d give to a fat person asking this question. If shallow people don’t find your body type good looking, then look for non shallow people!
Christ, is this rocket science?

You’re not a midget. That was messed up of that girl to say. I’m 4′11, theirs someone out their for everyone.

i dated a short guy and he seemed to make it harder on himself. i had no problem with it until he started having the short man syndrome characteristics. he wasnt secure with himself, causing the end of our relationship. so yeah.

Uh, I do not think the work place would have any reason to discriminate against someone based on their height. I feel like if this was the case, there would be more examples of it? If you are basing it only on your personal experience then it probably rather biased, and you may have not been as qualified as you thought..
Maybe it is not your height that girls are turning you away, it may your personality. You seem very insecure about your height and I am sure it reflects when you talk to a girl. I also would not base never going to a club based on one night of experience, that is bonkers.
Congrats on the lay? HAhahahaha.. Actually reading everything you wrote, I am sure it is not your height that is the issue at all, it is definitely your personality. I would work on it, stop blaming all your problems on your height..

lol well I feel your pain. Even though I am not a male, I am only 4foot 9. I think you’re looking for girls in the wrong places. Bars aren’t good places to pick someone up.ever. and the second thing, I want a taller guy so I feel protected. Maybe if you took boxing classes or some kind of fight class, then got that out in one of the first few lines of talking to a girl, she would give you a chance.
I don’t feel empowered by my ‘position in the dating realm’ and am not heartless to men. Everyone has their negative experiences. I think this is another reason you’re having a hard time. Some people are rude people, they are not rude because they are a woman or a man. Maybe..if you met a girl in a classroom then took her clubbing, you’d have better results.

Platforms maybe? Well the club is not a place to meet your soulmate. Maybe try local coffee shop, grocery or laundromat. Go to events that interest you, plays, shows….
Some women like shorter guys, some big girls like little guys. Maybe you need to up your game since you think your being rejected due to your height. I’m sure you’ll meet a great woman when it’s time.

sorry, I don’t think that short men have it harder in the world. my husband is shorter than me. He is also one of the most popular guys around was one of the most popular guys w/ women got into all the clubs all the time bc every one knew him. He is always the first to get a job as well. It isn’t bc of his height it is bc he is an amazing person. If you keep letting this get you down then you will make it be true bc you expect it. also, just to say about the dating a short guy thing he is the best in bed I have ever had (he isn’t short everywhere!)just my opinion don’t use it as an excuse let your personality shine and no one will even notice. If you are self conscious about it then it will show and make ppl notice

hey… napoleon… relax… what are you trippin’ out over some skeezy club rat for?… she said those mean things b/c her life is shyt… people who are nice to other people for no reason at all are people who are happy in their own lives and comfortable in their own skin… surely there were 100 things you could have said to her when she dissed you like that… why didn’t you take the opportunity to say something like "well i bet my friends that i could take the Hep-C challenge and live and we figured you to be the most likely host"… The clubs are lame!… You should only go back until you run into her again to tell that wench "I JUST ASKED YOU TO DANCE, NOT FOR YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE…. CLIP YOUR STRING AND PISS OFF!"….
Second, short people are not oppressed… And even if you were, at least you can can fit into all of the nice trendy clothes that makes a man look dapper… Try being an ogre in a fitting room at Banana Republic… Those button-down buttons are holding onto each other for dear life as I stretch that slave-made fabric over my chest… Can’t even dry anything in the dryer or it shrinks and makes it look like a muscle shirt… That job snub had nothing to do with you being short…
You didn’t get the job b/c you don’t have breasts….

1. People go to singles clubs looking to get laid.
2. a) People looking to get laid are going to go for the most physically attractive partner they can find.
b) Shortness is largely considered to be an unattractive physical trait for guys to have (as well as girls).
3. You are short.
Therefore, girls in clubs are almost guaranteed not to be interested in you (unless you find one with a fetish for short guys).
I don’t see why you have a problem with a girl being more interested in your personality than your appearance. Who the hell WANTS to be objectified?
