fat girls and short guys
Why is it that when I go to a club fat women gravitate toward me? I am not attracted to fatties at all, but for some reason they assume I will entetain their advances and then get mad when I don't take a liking to them.
I mean no disrepsect, but just because I am short does not mean that I am desperate. I notice this in every club I go to. The fat girls will ignore the tall guys (or maybe they are getting ignored?) and then come to me as a last resort (at least that is how it feels).
Come 12-1 a.m. they are all over me like maggots on rotten meat. |

Height discrimination in China
JIANG TAO, who is below the average height for a Chinese man, has brought a case against a branch of China's central bank for discriminating against job applicants who are on the short side. If he succeeds, which he may well not, the case will strike a blow for the smaller citizen. But its potential ramifications go much further.
Mr Jiang is the first person to persuade a district court in China to consider if a citizen's constitutional rights have been infringed by a government institution. In his lawsuit he accuses the bank of breaching Article 33 of the constitution, which says that all citizens are equal before the law. His lawyer, Zhou Wei, says the lawsuit is significant because it opens up the way for citizens actually to make use of their constitutional rights.
Such height requirements are common in China. Shanghai's East China University of Politics and Law says that male students must be at least 1.70 metres in height and females 1.60 metres. Since these heights are about the same as the national average for university students from urban areas, and students from rural areas tend to be a bit smaller, roughly half the age-group is automatically ineligible.
This was taken from an article in the Economist. You can find it here
They ended up abolishing these requirements in 2005, but I wonder how often it does on behind the scenes. It makes me think a lot about Height Discrimination works here. How can we be sure we're not being discrimated against because of Height in Employment? The only height discrimination cases I've ever seen in the U.S. were filed by women.

Height means nothing
When it comes to the height of a man or a woman, it means nothing, literally. I am 6'2'. Yes I'm fairly tall, but that doesn't matter. The shorter or taller a person, doesn't mean a difference. What it all really comes down to, is total confidence. The shortest man would find a woman with ease if he just exhibited confidence within himself. I know that's kind of common knowledge, but it needs to be said sometimes. Just go out, talk to people, meet people, have fun, be yourself. |

I'm amazed at this 5'6 3/4 "little guy"'s track times as a High School athlete. Look:
Then he broke a bunch of franchise records in 2011 and was voted as one of the Top 100 players in 2012. Why don't we see more small guys in Football and Track? |

Woman sleeps with me but doesn't want to be my GF
After striking out for a long time with women online and in real life, I finally met a woman who liked me for me. We would hang out, go out on dates at night and every other week, she would come over and we would sleep together.
We met at a book club that I go to here in Philly . She was in a group of women and I was asked about a book I read. As I answered, she became interested in the conversation. We had a bit to drink that night and she came back to my place because she wanted to see some of the other books in my collection.
We slept together that night. We were both drunk, her more than me. After texting back and forth for a week, we met again and slept together again. She always seemed busy and I noticed that we always got together on Sundays. Once I got a text from her telling me to meet her at a Starbucks and when I replied she said that she sent the text by mistake and that it was meant for me the week before she just never pressed send.
My job is by a movie theater and one night when I was coming home from work late, I bumped into her. I saw her in the movie theater (the facade has glass panels) by herself. I went in and she told me she was waiting until 9 to see a movie by herself. She told me she would call me on Sunday. When I call her during the week, she doesn't pick up now. She only wants to see me on Sundays.
She tells me she loves me, but when I ask her to be official, she tells me she just isn't ready.
I don't know if I should stick around and continue to pursue this, or if I should go back to being alone. |

Short business owners
Is it me or are many small business owners short, where on the other hand most CEOs are tall. How is that? |

Ever come across women who think they're taller than they really are?
I was talking to a few of my colleages at work when a this female coworker came up and started poking fun of saying how she was taller than me and that I was short for a guy (srs). This woman was clearly shorter than me by four inches! What's up with that? Why do women think this way? Poor spatial awareness? I know not all, but it's not the first time this happened. |

This Boris guy......
Have you guys seen this Cupid Schmupid gentleman who has been making all of these videos of him picking up women? The guy can't be any more than a solid 5'2 on a good day. I see nothing but disgust for him when I look through the comments on his videos. Most of them think he's a fraud. Or maybe that out of 200 women, only 1 won't reject him. So he just films the one or two women who say yes.
What do you think of this guy and how tall is he really?
(I just took a shot in the dark with 5'2) |

short engineers
Any of you take tough majors like science, match and computers and notice that the majority of men taking these classes tend to be shorter than normal. The in Sports and Music, everyone seems to be tall. |

Why do people put dwarves and short guys in the same category?
Someone tell me why people call me a "midget" and I am not that far from average. I do not understand why people would call a guy who is 5'5-5'9 a midget when they aren't really that small..... |

Cotto/Martinez fight
The ol boy won after being knocked out 4 times and is now relevant again. He now is the first Puerto Rican boxer to win belts in four weight classes. Even though he lost to Mayweather, Cotto is my favorite fighter. He's saying its the best performance of his career. What do you think of the fight? |

P90X & Insanity
Has anyone tried any of these fitness programs out? I have tried p90X in the past and it did help me get more in shape, which was great. I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried either workout program and if so, how was it for you? Did you do the whole 90 days for P90x and or did you do the whole 60 days for insanity? |
