Do you think women are more demanding of short guys in relationships?
First off, I am new here. I'm a little over 5'4. I am thinking back to my past relationship. I was with this woman for a little over a year. During that time, I paid for pretty much every date and did everything she ever asked me to. This includes paying for a baby sitter when her and I would go out, or if she had an errand to do and needed one in order to handle some of her responsibilities. I spent a lot of my time on her including handling chores around her around her apartment and even helping her with her light bill. In retrospect, she barely did anything for me. I would go out of my way to plan her birthdays (celebrated two of hers in our time together) taking her out and giving thoughtful gifts. For me, not a thing. At times, she even seemed a bit ungrateful. This makes me wonder if some women make shorter guys work harder to compensate for their lack of height and that those same women think that they are god's gift to you because you aren't as deserving of them as our taller counterparts. If this is true, it sucks because it might mean that a lot of shorter guys may behave the same and that those women can pick up on that. I am not exaggerating when I say I was really into this woman and I'd like to think she felt the same way about me, that was until she left me out to dry by leaving when she believed I had nothing else to offer her. |

Black women and the short men who won't leave them alone
This article condemns colorism, but promotes heightism. Go figure. I'm assuming if Tory Lanes was 6'4, it'd be because of his height too right? You can find this AMP article here. |

Austin Dunham sets dating profile to 5'6, says "height doesn't matter"
What he doesn't mention is that he sets his height down to 5'6 on an existing dating profile. Never mind that he is not what women would consider to be average in looks. This "experiment" wouldn't be hooey if he created a brand new profile, set it to 5'6 and then started swiping. |

Can money "save" a short guy?
I'm in college and dating is okay, but I've read how tough it is for us guys when we get into the "real world". You always hear a lot of people say that "yeah, but if you're rich, you'll be okay". Or they will point out celebrities and say, "see X CELEBRITY gets all of the ladies and respect". Now, I am not trying to attract gold diggers, so my goal is NOT to get money TO attract women in droves. I'm more curious about how this work. I can't imagine an old balding guy who is foaming at the mouth holding the latest iPhone having a woman say. "OMG, that guy over there has an iPhone 10, I'm totally going to dump that guy and get with that old balding guy over there". Is it more about going fancy places and going on vacations? Wouldn't that look like you're trying to "compensate". Even though I'm in college, in my social circle, I'm considered the "wealthiest" because of the gig work I do on the side (I do SEO and word press design). I don't broadcast this though. I wear regular clothes and drive an average car, but so do many of the athletes on campus and they swim in female attention. You mean to tell me if I wear a suit and tie everywhere or dress in expensive clothes, I'll get way more female attention that I do now? |

She drove 3 hours to see him after Pop The Balloon. Guess why?
Him being 6'5 wouldn't have anything to do with it I suppose... |

Black women angry at Hinge say changing race gives better options
I don't know where to begin on this. This is no shade at Black Women, but we all know the reality of the dating hierarchy. This complaint to me falls on deaf ears. Of course if you change your race you will get more options. If I changed my height to 6'4, yes, I'll attract super models, women in high earning professions and the whole nine. My response to this is no spit Sherlock... |

Graham Stephan and Bobby Lee reflect on dating taller women
Two 5'4 guys discussing why they always end up dating taller women. I had no idea that Graham Stephan was 5'4. I knew he was short, but I always figured he was around 5'6, 5'7 or so. |
