There are other communities for short men on the web. A lot of them focus on things counterproductive to our progress as men like "growing taller", whining or are trolled relentlessly by people who want laughs or to boost their own egos (i.e. r/short on reddit).

Here though, things are really different. It's like we're all honest about society's view of us and work hard to become the best we can be in all other areas of our lives, while condemning height bigotry. It's a nice mix.

Indeed. I just wish more people contributed comments more often.  I don't have the option of talking about this in person with any other guys I know, so I really enjoy it when people post frequently and really engage in discussion.  It's great just knowing that other guys with this disadvantage in life are around, and willing to talk and encourage each other.  I can't find this anywhere else.

She was okay with dating shorter men until her tall friend said this

Do you see how quickly she was able to walk her back from her stated preference?

This is the battle with dating some of those who claim to be okay with shorter guys,

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.

Award winning female climate scientist thinks shorter men are dumb

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.
