And that is exactly what happens when you've been living in a cave.

At one point, I was determined to do this back in 2018. But then I changed my mind and the only reason I won't do it is the potential long term health complications associated with it.

If it was just about the money or a year out of job, I would have done it years ago.

I still genuinely believe that 2" would make a world difference in my life, but it's not worth risking one's life.

She ended the date when she realized he's 5'7

Beyond brutal.

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

With social media being the dominant medium through which people interact online and dating apps being the main way people meet nowadays (according to the data), the online space has become a playground for the average woman (who receives hundreds of matches and thousands of matches weekly) and men in the tall, dark and handsome category, who make up a small percentage of men. Add career/income and that is even a smaller percentage.

It begs the question. Why would she be faithful to you, or even consider you at all? 

What I'm trying to say is, does being short in an of itself increase the chances of you being cheated on, or be used for what you have versus for who you are?

Many of us have been there

This is spot on if you've ever been in that situation. Shows that the connection can only happen if the height requirement is met.

But she didn't start a family with a short guy...

Another Mumsnet gem.

Of course she "just so happened" to choose a tall man to start a family with.
