Is it possible to be short and attractive?
All jokes aside I know that in his prime Tom Cruise was considered one of the most handsome people in the world, but that was 30 years ago. Do women throw themselves at short men the same way? I've never experienced that (I'm not that good looking anyway), but do have you ever come across regular people (not celebrities) who are considered and treated as such? |

A 5cm diff in height is associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk
From PsychiatryOnline.org
ABSTRACT Objective: Previous studies have found associations between poor fetal and infant growth and the risk of suicide. The authors’ goal was to investigate the association between height—a measure of childhood growth—and suicide risk. Method: The authors conducted a record linkage study of the birth, conscription, mortality, family, and census register data of 1,299,177 Swedish men followed from age 18 to a maximum of age 49. Results: There were 3,075 suicides over an average follow-up period of 15 years. There was a strong inverse association between height and suicide risk. In fully adjusted models, a 5-cm increase in height was associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk. Conclusions: The strong inverse association between height and suicide may signify the importance of childhood exposure in the etiology of adult mental disorder or reflect stigmatization or discrimination encountered by short men in their adult lives.

Tiffany Haddish says Kevin Hart Is The Exception In Sexual Harassment
According to the Daily News, comedian Tiffany Haddish said that "pal" Kevin Hart (5'2) was the exception to the rule in sexual harrassment because he encouraged her when she was homeless. All I read into this is as follows:
Attractive Men = Not sexual harrassment Average Looking/Unattractive Men = Creeps, sexual harrassment Short Men = Eunich = Not sexual harassment = no threat

Do women's attitudes change if they have a short son?
Would their heightism persist? What would they tell their son if they end up being small? |

Stupid guy thinks this is a "comeback" to being turned down
This "comeback" is being upvoted on several sites. Can someone explain why this garmin behavior is considered "the high road". Name any other instance where insulting one's self because of a physical characteristic would get pats on the back? |

"Move outta the way midget!"
I'm currently rotating at my hospital as I work through my residency. The title of this post are the exact words which came out of the mouth of a nurse on the floor I was working on. My first instinct when coming up with a comeback is to size the person up and determine which standout feature of theirs it worthy of a mean spirited joke. The thing was, the nurse was black, dark skinned black. I wanted to jab back hard on her dark complexion but realized that would put me in a lot of hot water with HR. In theory though, the methodology is the same. See something on them that society says is bad and poke fun at it. I instead responded with "Ha-Ha Funny". She replied "Don't get all Short Man Syndrome on me". I can't stand that being short is license for people to say anything to you without consequence. |

Anyone have a younger but taller sibling?
Any of you have a younger sibling that is taller? My younger brother is 6'1 and a few years younger than me. However, when him and I get into heated discussions about any topic, he always "wins". There is something in me that holds back. I don't know if it's because I don't feel masculine enough or if it is some type of anxiety, but I didn't feel this way before his growth spurt. Anyone else ever feel similarly? |

Reminded about my height when my tall friends get women without effort
Went out with my 6'2 friend last night to a club over here in New Jersey. My friend is an introvert, and not particularly attractive in the face. He doesn't workout and has a small gut which is visible when he wears shirts. He is an underachiever in every sense of the word. Last night, he was able to pick up a woman at the club within 25 minutes and fuck her inside of his car. A beat up Honda Civic which has a smelly interior. Another of my friends is 6'0. He has a plain looking face and works in Retail. Not a manager or even a Customer Sales rep. He works as a stock boy. He has women smiling at him wherever he goes. It's to the point that if a woman doesn't pay him any attention, he gets pissy about it. If I am with him, women come up to us and ask for directions. They have their eyes all over him and completely ignore me. I don't want to come off as a hater. I don't have that much trouble dating, especially since I started working out, but it is a strong reminder that my tall friends will never understand the effort that I have to put in just to get noticed. |
