No love for the short man.

I dated a girl for five years, from 18-23. During the time I was dating her, I pretty much ignored the dating scene, wasn't interested if other girls liked me, etc.

Now that I'm single again, I've realized that short guys have a MUCH harder time getting girls interested in them.

Right now I'm 6'3 and I think I've found a girl that I might want to date. So I'm trying to hook up my buddy with a girl so we can hang out. My friend is really good looking, rich as hell, 25 years old, dresses nice... I think of him as a ladies man. But when I try and set him up with girls, they tell me, "Well, he's just a little too short." He's 5'9.

I've had conversations with other girls asking them about certain guys, and the "oh he's hot, but he's too short" seems to come up a LOT.

Do you guys think this is the truth, or are the girls I'm talking to just atypical?

One was 5'4, one was about 5'7... There was one that was like 5'11, but she was borderline behemoth.

Take him to downtown, there's plenty of hot chicks down there drunk enough to not care. Also, suggest he get some doc martins or other shoes with really thick soles (not clown like thick, but and inch or two) and if he can tell him to style his hair up. It will at least get him in the door and when the girl sobers up later and realizes he's short maybe by then he'll have made a good first impression and it won't matter as much!

Plus he's a big hairy Jew.


Yeah, but his schlong is 15 inches. I think that might have something to do with it.

Yeah. I'm 5'10" and have had no problems.

5'6" or less, I could see a problem....

I'm about 5'4", and my wife is 5'6" I actually look shorter than I am because I have a slightly large head :) Regardless, while I agree with you that shorter guys are at a disadvantage, I think what women see more is the confidence a man has. My height has never been an issue with me. I would think that a short guy with confidence has probably more appeal to women than a tall guy who lacks confidence. Of course this is what you'd expect to hear from a short guy :)

He's kinda over the downtown scene... He's also really picky, which doesn't help, I don't guess.

I definitely agree with that.

Penis length is proportional to height. Sorry, short guys - roller coasters aren't the only thing that has a "you must be this tall to get on" sign :p

Different people prefer different characteristics in their mates. Some women will prefer shorter guys. I thought balding would be horrible to my dating life, but it turns out that it doesn't really matter.
