post #1

I don't always agree with this guy, but truer words have never been spoken when it applies to men, and these "looks" should also include height.

There are portions of this video where he goes off on tangents which the video could have done without, but overall the message could not be any clearer and on point. 

Being short is not a death sentence. Non-select men just have to up their value in other areas and looks while are certainly a positive for us guys, it matters less and less, especially ~30 and beyond.

Great find and so true!

It would be ridiculous to say that "height doesn't matter", but other things matter too besides height, especially as we go through our 20s. By 30, because of my social network and career, I had dozens of women wanting me as their man and saw me as marriage material. 

As you probably already know from my previous post, I am married and have two kids. My wife has plenty of taller suitors but wanted me, and here we are.

What footwear are you rocking right now?

Let's see your footwear game. 

Full photos not required here, just pics or descriptions of your current shoes, boots, sneakers, sandals, etc

Figured this would be a nice way to get some ideas or a way to put each other on to some footwear we might not be familiar with.

Let's go!

r/Shortguys Mod are evil

On this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/shortguys/comments/1pp6lwk/comment/nut1m4c/?context=1

A girl is saying "Short guy lost their man card".

I answered "Our fault, for giving them the person card.", answering exactly with the same insult...

...and the MODs permanently banned me? can you think about something more unjust? just answering an insult, gets you banned? 

Reddit is a trap and mods are the enemy.
