How realistic is it for a short man to pull an attractive fit woman?
post #1

There are enough posts and threads online about women using men they don't find attractive or keeping them in the friend zone at best online.

At the same time, there is the mythical short player that everyone keeps bringing up as a counterpoint to the "woe is me" short man.

Well, for the users here, how realistic do you think it is for a short man to pull an attractive fit woman who likes him for him.

This is not to ignore women who are less attractive, but the idea here is that the woman in question doesn't feel that they are compromising.

So what are your thoughts? Vote in the poll and put in your two cents.

I'll bite. There are too many factors. 

In my opinion, it comes down to:

• Looks

• Proximity

• Interests

• Education Level

• Class

• Finances

• Fitness

• Charisma

I do not consider myself to be that "mythical" short guy, but I've done well. The women I've done well with were into me not just because of looks (I have what many would consider to be a handsome face), but also because of my interests (piano, jazz, opera, gaming, tech), ability to hold conversation, and that I am very fit. The women I chat up tend to be classy and have a similar education level.

This does NOT mean that I am winning 100% or even 50% of the time, but I do put myself out there.

Now if I were an overweight slob who didn't dress well, stayed inside all day and had little ambition, yeah, there would be no chance in hell.

So I am saying "very likely" if a lot of those other parameters are left. Still, I'd say to keep your expectations in line.

Receiving a yes one out of twenty times is still better than not pursuing at all and sitting on the couch.

If you're made of money or famous, then "very likely".

If you're average, then it's possible, but not realistic I'd say. You'd have to make some kind of compromise.

Either she is chubby, a single mom, extremely disagreeable or has financial problems and needs an unspoken safety net.

That's where you come in. The clean up guy who gets last dibs. 

Most short guys that I know who have a woman usually falls into one of those categories.

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.

Woman upset men at matchmaking event were short fat and balding

That one part where she said she was just there to practice lol.

So even after women decided to leave, the women left STILL wanted to engage in humiliating men.

No wonder most dudes pass on these things.
