Why do I get told this...

Anytime I  am in the middle of a talk about jobs and careers we wish we had or we would be good at, I always get told I would have been a great Nascar driver or a jockey? I mean, I get it, they are all short but still, I suck at driving and I never have been on a horse!

Just like taller thin women, attractive or not, get told she should have been a model. or real tall men get told they should have been in the NBA.

The same reason I get told I should be a hair model. I have naturally thick, curly hair and women love it. It doesn't mean I should do commercials for hair products. People base what they see on the outside on life careers or jobs. Thank you media...

The media isn't all to blame. So many of us jut let it brain wash us and condition our thinking.

Best statement that could have followed. People just make judgment on appearence not intellegence or skill.

Short guys who get told they're handsome, is dating any better?

Short guys who get told they're handsome, is dating any better?

What are your biggest challenges and biggest wins?

Is your experience dating different from shorter men who seem to have more negative interactions with women? In other words, does your facial attractiveness and or physique mitigate height bias?

On the other end, are any of you withdrawn from the dating market and tired of it due to negative experiences?

Finally, when you other guys see you winning, do they get jealous and try to drag you down?

Couldn't be more ridiculous. Notice how her body language changed after she rejected him and he mentioned he was 6'.

5'8 woman struggles to date in China. Told she is too tall for dating.

5'8 woman struggles to date in China. Told she is too tall for dating.

My question is, would she date a man her height or shorter? The article keeps bringing up "180cm" for men.
