Re: The secret to dating as a short guy according to an online female dating guru

She's basically saying to refrain from discussing any insecurities with your woman, which is advice that I agree with.

Confidence is a baseline for a lot of women like it or not. As much as people hate hearing it on here, even if it's not genuine, at the very least, the perception of confidence is the difference between attracting and repelling at all levels (if she's interested in the first place of course).

Is there a general rule for this? Is it size related (i.e. height/weight), or more clothing type and event related?

What are your thoughts?

I personally stay away from "skinny". Narrow is the way to go if you're an adult IMO.

On a thin to athletic frame, narrow works and keeps things in proportion.

If you're a portly guy, a narrow tie will accent your heft, which may not be the look you'd want to go for.

Re: How many of you believe being short guarantees infidelity from your partner?

I don't think so. "Guarantee" is a strong word.

If she's a cheater, she's going to cheat, no matter what.

When I worked in a clothing store during the summer when I was in college, shamefully, a co-worker was cheating on her boyfriend with me.

Her boyfriend was 6'2, mid-level career, but an overall boring, square, 9-5'er. Not that there's anything wrong with that. He was also in his late 30s.

At the time, I was 21, in excellent shape (I'm still in good shape now) and was more of an adventurer.

This went on for months until I decided to bail. She was never going to leave him because he was well-off. I caught feelings, but it was mostly based on lust. I was young and sprung.

It wasn't the last time I had offers from a woman who was committed either.

I also think that you need to know what kind of woman you're dealing with. If she is all about tall men and is "all of a sudden into shorter men", or "gives you a chance", then that is a major red flag.

Not even calling yourself “Short King” will get you to the level of someone called “Tall Guy".

The name should be removed, it is used to remind us of our lack of height and how they think we need to be called in order to feel better about ourselves. It is a lie.

I don't really take issue with the term and don't see what the big deal is.

I've heard way worse. I'd take offense with the word "midget" or "shrimp" as those are really demeaning.

Then again, I'm also a Millennial, so that could be the reason why I'm not so offended by it. Even then, if people call me those things, I don't let it phase me. I'm secure with myself and confident despite what others think of me.

"Short King" might be taking shape to be Gen Z's version of "little guy" or "manlet".

I just don't see the connection. "King" has never been a bad term.
