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.”

How to carry yourself around women

Take notes from actor Poe Dameron. This woman in tall but he is not intimidated in the least. He asserts power while making her feel feminine. That is key if you want to date taller women.

Child made comment on short man

How would you view this...

A small child points out a man who is clearly short by calling him a "small daddy". The mother did nothing to correct the child, but just runs away in embarrassment. 

How do you take something like this? Like if it were you that it happened to?

Your Partner's Height May Be Able To Predict The Success Of Your Relat

"By analyzing data from 7,850 married women, researchers from Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea found that the greater the height difference in a heterosexual couple, the happier the wife was.

But why? Well, evolution probably has something to do with it."

"Women evolved to prefer tall men because they were perceived to be stronger, and naturally they are happy when they have what they like," writes Sohn."

Heightism in Scandinavia

Hi,

 

I had the perception that women in Europe were less heightist than in North America. Lately I have been reading that women in the Scandinavian countries hate short men and won't date them. By short I mean 5'5 -5'7 range. I know average height for men there is like six feet. I thought I would ask if any short men in the range I mentioned do well with the ladies there are or are we like pariahs?

Is Height Still a Big Deal in the Dating World?

last one for now-this one is brand new being written only a few days old aago by a lady who really gets it-the final 2 scentences are excellent imo (speaking to women):

"So can we all just shut up and get over our height hang-ups? I understand that everyone has their preferences, but there is a fine line between preferences and prejudices. Find it."
