What would you have done?

Sharing this because it shows a commonality in the dating market, having a trait that makes you undesirable to many even though if they are attracted to your looks and or character.

The guy on this show, "Pop The Balloon Or Find Love" was as interested in the woman as she was him, that is until he found out she had five kids. You can see the disappointment on her face when she said, "I knew it". She was reluctant to let him know she had five kids because she knew it would run her off.

Almost like when women ask you that dreaded, "How tall are you" question online after a really good conversation. You know what's coming next.

In my opinion, this is a woman's nightmare on a dating show or dating app. He holds all of the cards.

How do we know this? Though many of women there couldn't stand him and popped their balloons, many of them continued to go back and forth with him because they felt they need to prove something.

If Dr. Elom were a foot shorter, never mind that they would've popped the balloons the moment he walked on; they would've dismissed everything and anything he had to say. If you want to argue this, look at the way the different groups of women treat pretty much any short contestant. 

Couldn't make this up if you tried. Both articles written by the same woman almost a week apart. 

You can find the Medium articles here and here. 

They're now calling these "mixed-weight" relationships. 🙄

I don't see how this is a big deal. The guy is still taller than his woman, and the media has pushed bigger men with thinner women forever. Think about the television series, "The Honeymooners", "King Of Queens",  even "The Flintstones" and "Family Guy".

I've know many women who have crushed on me or other short men. I have a lot of female friends on social media who dated or had children with shorter men who talk smack about shorter men online. 

I wholeheartedly believe that there are lots of women out who like shorter men or may even prefer shorter men, but are afraid of critical feedback from their friends (as many demonstrate hive-mindedness) or for being perceived as not being able to get or qualify for a tall man. 

Take one of my friends who is 4'9 who always goes for the tallest man in the room. She has expressed to me a few times (usually over drinks) that she really likes me (she isn't my type), but plays it off in public and comes off as if she has something to prove by bagging, not just a tall man, but again the tallest man. Its almost like a pissing contest between her and her friends.

It's an example of obsessing over what other people think and impressing people who really couldn't care any less in the grand scheme of things. In my opinion, a woman who would rather stay single than date a man that she likes who happens to be short, probably doesn't care for men much anyway.  She is just more concerned with showing men off as a trophy and like the men who throw up their money just to be with the prettiest and vapid of women, those women deserve the same fate.

She is 4'11 and claims she is okay with dating a man who is 5'2. Is she being genuine?

Brilliant and thorough explanation with graphs and charts as to why short women generally don't go for (and don't need to go for) short men and pointing out the lack of accountability due to an absence of self-awareness being the reason why the current dating landscape is the way that it is.
