As a short guy do you win over her family and friends?
post #1

Anyone else have issues winning over family and friends? It's tough enough sometimes getting a date because so many women are biased against short men but trying to win over friends and family is a whole other ball game, especially when they feel like she could have "done better".

I am reminded of a time when I was in high school and I started dating someone on the softball team. Every single one of her friends tried to sway her away from me and fix her up with their athletic and taller friends. While I have the girl and I shouldn't care what people think, it is very frustrating to have to deal disapproval and what it does to the woman I'm seeing. Sometimes even more frustrating when her circle is more approving of men who are below me in every way (i.e. studies, athletics, career, finances, personality, sincerity) except for height.

Never made it to that game yet luckely!

But what i can say is, if her friends are like that, and she listens, she is not for you!

Those type of women, not only taking in what people say, but also have friends who sway her away from you is just bad karma!

Even if i dont like my friends gf's i dont say anything! Even when i know they are not right for eachother!

Leather Jacket Guide For Shorter Men

Leather Jacket Guide For Shorter Men

Oh man, do I remember my first leather jacket—the sleekness, the subtle gloss, the way it made me feel instantly cool. Now in middle age, I can trace that feeling back to growing up on re-runs of Happy Days, watching the Fonz, seeing Run-DMC rock their leather track jackets, and watching Michael Jackson command the screen in his punk-inspired Bad era. Later came the bomber, lettered, and logo-heavy jackets of the early ’90s worn by artists like Nas. By the time the glossy leather trend of the late ’90s and early 2000s rolled around, it all came full circle (remember the Shaft remake?). So when I finally bought my first leather peacoat in the early 2000s, I felt like a celebrity stepping out onto the streets of NYC—you couldn’t tell me a thing (especially when I flipped that collar up!). Even as that coat started to show a little wear, strangers still had plenty of compliments to give.

Every man needs a leather jacket in his wardrobe. If you’re style-conscious—especially if you’re a shorter man—you might even consider owning a few. Few pieces signal effortless cool and attention to detail quite like leather. In this guide, we’ll touch on a bit of history, break down the key types of leather jackets, and show you how to pair them with outfits that elevate your overall look. Just in time for the unpredictable early-spring weather, consider this your go-to leather jacket guide for shorter men


History

 

When it was time to buy my first leather jacket, a guy at work pointed me to “Schott” —and for good reason. Co-founder Irving Schott is credited with creating one of the first modern zippered leather motorcycle jackets in 1928. The brand still carries his name today.

Leather jackets, though, go back earlier. During World War I, pilots wore heavy leather coats—often horsehide or steerhide—because their cockpits were open and freezing. These evolved into standardized flight jackets like the A-2 in the 1930s, later nicknamed “bomber jackets,” especially during World War II.

By the 1950s, leather jackets had become a cultural symbol. Actors like Marlon Brando in The Wild One and James Deanin Rebel Without a Cause helped turn them into shorthand for rebellion and cool.

In the 1970s, long, glossy leather coats became staples of Blaxploitation films, while musicians—from The Beatles to The Jackson 5—embraced leather as part of their look.

From military necessity to style icon, the leather jacket has never really left the spotlight.

She\'s framing it this way to make it look like she\'s making some kind of educated point, but the reality is, she most likely really does think this.
