Short men frowned upon!

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a masculine person, despite the fact that I am shorter than many women. I don't care what anybody says about physical size and the "masculinity/femininity spectrum." I have known very tall women to be exceedingly feminine; and I have known very short women to be exceedingly masculine-like.

But it is socially constructed this way; hence why in 99% of couples the man is the taller one.

Obviously, sensible people have only one option: defend the status quo as inevitable.

Of course, the reality is that the man is almost always the taller partner in a heterosexual relationship.

What I was referring to was merely the notion that something "big" is masculine and something "small" is feminine.

I think the problem comes from some guys who fear the opinions of other men. They think people will call them gay if they like cute things, which they find mortally insulting somehow. This drives a lot of otherwise inexplicable behavior.

I like fast powerful cars. However, I like them better when decorated with cute anime girls. If people would just enjoy what they like, telling haters to suck it, they would appear more genuinely masculine than their overstated, oversized, overblown, overcompensation.

^ Why blaming it all on the men? It's the most women who often refuse dating men shorter than themselves.
Many men wouldn't mind to be with a taller woman.

You yourself said that you are masculine despite your height and not because of it.

Wow. You were "offended". You "don't have to like a guy who is about my height".

You don't have to like anything at all in this life, but if you're "offended", irritated and annoyed by every little thing you're not going to get far I can assure you. Wait until you get out in the real world and have to deal with actual problems.

I'm 187-188cm tall and never given two hoots about my partner's height, nor about how much she weighs or the size of her various attributes. Perhaps I've just grown up and have a good grasp on the stuff that matters in life. Being above average height has it's disadvantages, get sick of banging my head on stuff.

I'll tell you that I'm not even average male height (I am 170 cm) and my ex and my first was petite small-framed.

I love being on the shorter side (5' 3")! I don't have to duck nearly as often, I'm closer to the ground - which is where interesting things are. And I'm more sustainable than tall people .

Yes, sustainable. As the planet gets more crowded, maybe small is the way to go. Small people have a smaller carbon (and literal) footprint because they take less resources to feed, clothe, and shelter. Be green, save the planet: date small people.

Screw that. I like taking up a lot of space and having a big carbon footprint . I may buy a yank tank.

I'm overjoyed at learning that the expression "yank tank" exists. Thank you!

This would be the perfect yank tank for me. It has six wheels, weighs 3 tons and emits 50,000 millisieverts of radiation per hour
