It is basically saying that because we short men are short, we need to lower our standards to get dates and women. I am not sure why they would include this under a free dog sign. If I seen that I would let my dog *bleep* in front of it.

Crap like this really bugs me because it is beyond a joke it is straight up stereotyping. Cause you know all "short men" lower their standards and lack confidence.

Not sure what it worse... saying something like this on a sign calling out short men everywhere or putting the dogs before it.

1000% agree. Stereotyping is part of the reason fat, short, ect jokes are around. People assume all short men lack self worth and all fat people are lazy. I know a woman who eats better than most and still is over weight. She is one of the most active people I know but people still rag on her about being lazy.

Assuming things needs to stop and I know it wont because most of us do, some of us are worse than others. We just need to learn not to say things, even if we think them.

People will never stop assuming. It is in our nature to assume and figure out the "whys"... We just need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around us, so to speak.

Yeah but I know so many people who are all about the "I" "Me" "My"... Most of us are self centered. Just the way it is.

Philosopher claims the plight of short men isn't taken seriously for this reason.

Philosopher asserts that short men do not claim a collective identity in the same way racial, ethnic and gender-based groups do.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
