Do short men make you want to avoid all other short men?

When you say short.. do you specifically always mean height? I'm sure there are Tall men with shortcomings, and short men without. I'd also say that some men may be long, and others short, but as a 1 trick pony, you probably don't know about that too much.
There's some that are long in the tooth, and others with short tempers, both may in fact be tall or short. Is a tall man with a short temper, one you'd avoid?
I guess there's no long and short way to figure it all out, but if you are strictly basing your judgement on men of little stature, I'm sure you're doing a dis-service to many a man. Is it true that when you looked through the spyhole to decide to open the door when you were an SP, that you stood on a stool? Since you never opened the door, maybe that's why, everyone appeared to be short.
Basically what I'm saying is, it's unfortunate you have this soapbox to stand on and people will listen and respond, I don't get why we can't just 'stop feeding the troll'. I have been guilty up until now, but I'm cutting my time short.
Have fun with this thread.. try not to keep it running too long.

:rofl: I bet you think everyone who promotes violence should be taken out and shot?
Unless, of course, he's a short man with a really tall pile of gold.
Do you find men look taller standing on their wallet?
Oh mercy. If you have a daughter she is going to be sifting through a whole host of issues learned from Mommy. Start the fund for her therapy now.I had always though that prejudice was something that happened because you had enough experience to know a group existed, but not enough to know that they are just people.
People are not often prejudiced towards yack herders in Bhutan because they mostly never meet or hear about them.
I think I am becoming prejudiced towards short men. Not little people, just short men. It feels like men over 4’10” and less than 5’ 5” grow giant chips on their shoulders instead of personalities.
I had a BF in high school for a few weeks who was in that range, and he was a little bully. Even if he was cute I just could not cope with it. It just got so stale. I assumed it was just him.
I have been reading posts here from people like short men and they remind me of him. The insecurity and the whining and the bullying and the anger that life is unfair to them are so similar.

Speaking of generals, perhaps Napoleon was considered short because of the size of his penis?

Nice jessica, lol. On THE Flip Side. One should ask is there a legitamacy to the " chip on the shoulder".? Is the complaint about a real discrimination? For example I again go back to a time in history when blacks were discriminated against. They fought back. The majority of whites said blacks have a chip on their shoulder & an entitlement attitude. I think few today would disagree that the blacks had a legitimate claim to descrimination. ONCE society addressed the discrimination, the blacks had less of a chip on their shoulder ( which in fact was a legitimate complaint). So to with short guys. Ask yourself, does our society esp. women have a lack of attraction for them? Does society put over emphasis on tall men as sexy & the opposite of that as not so & thus not desirable to date? If society & women included them in the class of sexy & desirable men would they have less reason to have a chip on their shoulder? It comes down to IF you think their claims are real then you will not think they have a chip on their shoulder. IF you think they are for the most part seen as & portarayed as sexy men ( if you think in general society does not attribute height as a major factor to male attractiveness) then you will see the complaints of short men on this matter as not legitimate & a " chip on the shoulder".
Partyman, you clearly have issues. I'm suggesting you go and have wild crazy sex with a new hot women every day for a week. Everyday, when you are done you text each of them and say 'That was awesome, I hope my size wasn't an issue'... maybe after 7 crazy hot women tell you it had NOTHING to do with how great you were as a lover, you can get on with your life. If not, you need a shrink.. I think my way is faster and cheaper in the long run, but not covered by OHIP.
If you teach your daughter to be prejudiced towards short men, then that only re-affirms the attitude they have. The attitude that women dislike/disdain them for their height. Therefore it only perpetuates the phenomenon and the cycle goes round and round again.
Choose to break the cycle. Whether you are the short man who perceives discrimination or the person discriminating.

I have to agree and I have been guilty too. Also I must say that the shorter men that I have seen F--K like porns stars most do anyways. I have no complaints!
I think for the poster that thinks I have issues he should especially read my first post in this thread.... carefully. Also 4somefun made a very wise & pro active post that everyone in society needs to apply.
You being prejudiced towards short men is why you see them as whining, insecure and bullying and its not their attitude but rather your perspective on how they come off.I had always though that prejudice was something that happened because you had enough experience to know a group existed, but not enough to know that they are just people.

It may be possible that a woman turns down a man shorter than her not because of his height but because of her insecurities?
Girls who are tall in school sometimes become very self conscious about their own height and this stays with them through adulthood. Nothing worse than feeling like a giraffe when out on a date regardless of how hot and sexy he is.
