electric, by your logic a 5’2 girl and 5’7 guy wouldn’t be considered short, which they are.

when I said short girls are shorter than anyone, what’s there to explain? I said what I meant, it makes sense - short men are still taller than most women, so I guess are more limited to short/average girls, short women are shorter than everyone and generally date shorter/average guys…I don’t get what the big deal is. you guys are acting like short men are severely limited in terms of dating! I guess if the guy is under 5’5, then maybe it’s a big deal, but over that I don’t see why it should be. but don’t you think shorter women (5 ft and under) are sort of “limited” the way shorter guys are?



Well you still have to explain how short women being shorter than everyone limits them, instead of just saying it does.

I’ve explained how short guys are limited

1. the aesthetics placed on male height (much more significant than for women)

2. the fact that it’s socially unacceptable for the guy to be shorter than the woman

There is no reason that a short chick would be limited. They date very tall guys all the time. Guys (in general) don’t care if a chick’s short, unless she’s midget short. But a very short guy is still in a worse position.

molly… good post. that’s exactly what it is.
