Sweatpants.... WHY!?

No matter what brand I buy, they just sag and drag on me. I either have to have my sister adjust them at the bottom or wear them long. I don't even wear them outside the house because I have worn out and ruined so many pairs because of them dragging under my shoes. Anyone know a brand that makes them shorter?

Middle sizes sell out the fastest...

It seems like no matter where I go, there is always XS and S sizes or XL+ sizes in the things I want. I wear a Medium to a Large depending on the shirt length. Do they make more smaller and larger sizes? I don't get it.

School uniforms...

I thought I would share this here. My younger cousin who is 15 is on the short side. He had joined the football team and the sizes they offered for uniforms are all made for boys over 5'9 clearly. He puts it on untucked and it is like a dress, mind you he wears a medium. He mentioned it to the school and they refused to get it resized for him. When he tucks it in, his pants are so tight he had to get the next size up. Now that the season is over, he is telling everyone he wont be playing next season. Is this something all schools do!?

Jealousy seems to effect taller people...

This picture sums up how people act when someone has what they don't. This dude may be on the shorter side but he has the body many men dream of having.

Methuselah Gene

Some shorter people possess a rare genetic mutation, known as the "Methuselah gene," that seems to extend their life spans. This defect affects the way their cells use the hormone insulinlike growth factor 1. IGF1 plays a key role in childhood growth—and, more controversially, is touted by athletes and anti-aging proponents as a miracle cure that can help bulk up muscle, inhibit programmed cell death, and reduce body fat.

A bit fed up...

I am on the shorter side of the short side. I am barely 5'6. When I wear boots, if I do not cover them with pants, they look awful! My favorite pair finally had enough and so I was forced to find some new ones. It seems like any kind of boot I put on looked like I was drowning in them. Like boots that should hit 5 inches above the ankle hit 5 inches below my knee. To paint a picture... I look like a chick wearing over sized men's boots that happen to fit my large feet.

Are men's heels making a come back?

Men used to wear heels to ride horses more comfortably. Can they be making a come back?

Your Issues With Dating Shorter Men Are Misogynistic

Degree 180, 12/30/2015

As a short girl, I couldn’t care less about Short Girl Appreciation Day (which occurred recently). However, if I am going to be appreciated for my height then shorter guys ought to be appreciated for theirs as well, because it’s the height we are appreciating, right?

Wrong. And herein lies the double standard.

It’s okay for women to be short. It’s normal and cute. A short man? Nope, not cute or normal. According to societal standards, a short man is non-masculine and odd. It isn’t uncommon to see men make fun of other men for their height based on the assumption that, somehow, a man lacks masculinity if his height is below average, and, in some cases, even average height is looked down upon.

Women, essentially, ostracize short men for their inability to dominate them (not all women, thankfully). Think about it. Many women want a tall man who can presumably protect them and, simply, stand over them. Because being loomed over and subjugated by a man’s height is so cute (sarcasm).

There, of course, is nothing wrong with being attracted to tallness or with wanting to be personally dominated. However, there is something wrong with valuing all men for their ability to dominate others.

Boys, young men, and grown men alike are esteemed for their “masculinity,” meaning they are esteemed for their power. Their dominance. Their ability to win. They are respected if they win at sports (a.k.a. defeat other men), if they never cry (a.k.a. don’t feel), if they attract many women (have sex with, rape, or dominate women), if they make a lot of money (assert their superiority over others). They are valued for their muscles, their aggression, and their indifference.

If a man breaks a woman’s heart, he has won a trophy. He has been told this is okay because it is not okay to feel. If a man cries, he is ridiculed because only women are allowed to cry. If he has no money, he is a failure because money is success and the mind is nothing. If he beats another man, he gains greatness. If he helps his team win a game, he is honored.

Discrimination against men is real and it took a silly Short Girl Appreciation Day for me to be able to explain this. Because women face a much worse, institutionalized sexism, we often ignore this discrimination against men. We focus on the bigger issues. But if you think about it, discrimination against men and misogyny are not the completely separate issues that we tend to think. In fact, recognizing and facing this discrimination against men could actually help defeat misogyny.

Can anyone explain why this date went wrong?

Time Out New York, 1/2/2016

Each week, we take two New Yorkers who swear they're totally undateable, and put our matchmaking skills to the test. Afterward, we find out what went well on their date, and what went horribly, horribly wrong.

Why they're single:

Rui: Moved to 
New York from Japan last spring, so hasn’t had a chance to meet new people and is still 
learning English.
Jacob: His work 
is pretty consuming and requires nights and weekends, but he’s working to make more time.

First impression

Rui: “He was wearing a suit, and he looked like a gentleman and a businessman. He’s nice, but it didn’t feel romantic. My type 
is taller than me, and he was shorter.
Jacob: “They sat her first and delivered me to 
her, almost like a Bachelor episode. She was pretty and nicely dressed. She had a formal way about her but was very cordial.”

Chemistry

Rui: “We talked about our jobs, parents and where we’ve been. We found a mutual favorite restaurant in Astoria, but I didn’t 
feel like I wanted to go there with him.”
Jacob: “This is her first year in America, so a lot 
of the initial conversation was about what made her want to come to New York. But there was never a void in conversation.”

Awkward Moment

Rui: “His way of eating food is a little too messy. He spilled a lot of things on the table—dessert, bread, meat. It seemed he didn’t care about that, so I didn’t say anything.”
Jacob: “She asked when my last long-term relationship was and how long it lasted, which is a fairly forward thing to ask on a first date. I guess I was a little taken aback.”
