A guy who is 5'3" asked me out and I turned him down NOT because of his height but because is obnxoiously loud. He flat out stated that he is loud because he is short. A group of us went out and his voice drowned out everyone else's. He was swearing and acting like a jerk, I wanted to put a muzzle on him.
Automatic fail, in my book.
And because of this unfortunate experience you will possibly subconsciously assume that ALL short men are like the loser you posted about. And thus the stereotype prevails...

Not disputing it. But you must admit that there is a stereotype about short men - even has a name: Napoleon Complex - that describes the obnoxious behavior of the man you mentioned. And this stereotype is so strong that it compels women to reject short men without first seeing each one as a unique individual.
This is why short men IN GENERAL have much difficulty in dating, getting sex, having relationships, and ultimately getting married.

He maybe attractive, but that doesn't mean he is dateable in the eyes of women. Women judge a short man in seconds as having a napoleon complex and less of a man. It doesn't make a difference if he has a great personality and high self-confidence, because she wont give him the time of day to discover these qualities. Women are visual creatures just as much as men and most of the time receive their femininity from the man on their arm.
I try my best to avoid these types of women. The ones who are quick to place the "short man syndrome/Napoleon complex" label on short guys. The sad thing is, a lot of women base their femininity on the height of the man they are with and can't feel feminine around shorter people, shorter women included. His height defines her femininity. Any guy shorter than her takes away from her femininity, plain and simple.
Napoleon complex is a cheap excuse IMO by taller women and men that's wrongly used against short men who strive for the same excellence and quality in life as taller people. You can't deny that taller people feel threatened any time a short guy succeeds where they didn't. The world subliminally wants shorts guys to take a back seat to the taller guy/taller woman and when we don't, we get branded with this kind of stupidity.
I'm sorry, but I just can't allow taller people or anyone for that matter to walk all over me and expect me to accept second, third or fourth place as the best possible finish in life for.
