Short men who are/have been married, how did you meet your wife?
post #1

I know there is light at the end of the tunnel. While it is tough for some of us to date because women almost universally find shortness unattractive, I do know many short men who've hitched. I work with many short men who have been married for years. Sadly, I know many who have divorced, with their wives lamenting at their height on their way out.

How did you meet your wives? Were they okay with your height from the beginning?

Yes-- I've talked about this before on other posts.  My wife was not at all disappointed with my height.  Truth be told, she finds tall men to be threatening, domineering and scary, not attractive.  So, ultimately she rather preferred to marry one on the shorter side of average.  She met me and fell in love with me well before I fell in love with her.  She noticed me for my charm, my wit, my intelligence, and our shared faith.  I'm a go-getter, type A personality leader, and she was so attracted to all that, that having me be really short didn't matter. (She's 5'2) We shared a wonderful circle of close friends, and we still spend time together with them 30+ years later - all very happily married.  I kept assuming that she was just settling for an inferior product and it took a long time for me to figure out she wasn't, and that she never felt that way.  

How did we meet?  We were both attending a church-based group for young unmarrieds in their 20s.  We got to know each other at a lot of social events.  Great way to meet and get to know others.

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.
