I'd have to agree. No one is perfect and we all have negative attributes or at least things we see as negative attributes (maybe it's height, age, social anxiety, something physical, etc). And using that as an excuse is a cop out for not finding love and not improving yourself in ways that matter is weak. The truth is, no one is attractive to everyone. Even supermodels have their distractors who call them "ugly."

The key is to find the person who is interested in you and attracted to you and not just wring your hands and worry about the people who aren't interested in you. If you do sit and complain and wring your hands, no one will take pity on you and it won't help you. You will get nowhere and just make yourself bitter blaming everyone else. Sure there is a chance you won't get anywhere or won't find love even if you try... but you still have a chance and most people succeed. But I can guarantee a person definitely will not find love sitting in the corner of life crying with self pity.

Whats wrong with knowing that short height is gross and that girls covet tall guys? At least I embrace the truth and do not spread insincerity.

You in no way shut my arguments down because I know PLENTY of short men (5'5 and under) who are players and get plenty of ridiculously hot women. I mentioned my friend up thread a bit who is 5'4 and maybe 100 lbs and I had the BIGGEST crush on him when I was in my early 20s and he rejected me with no qualms whatsoever. I've been rejected by a TON of short guys so obviously they had much better options out there than me.

And girls may covet tall guys, but women don't. Maybe you should try talking to women and not young girls.

There's always one or two brand new members that pop up when a 'short guy' thread gets started. I have a feeling they just google 'women hate short guys' or something to that effect and then just troll everything that pops up.

But you never question what pushes short guys to do that search and then become all surprised/annoyed when you find out there are complaints/arguments from them. CD is not the only site that fall "victim" to short guys complaining. All the dating sites, Bodybuilding, Twitter, Facebook, AskMen, and a bunch of other sites are subject to the same. A vast majority of women will often sound out their disapproval/dismay/disgust with short guys.

For me, some girl back in the old country refused me when she discovered my height, after I agreed in gold and cash payment. Another girl from Sweden also refused to consider my proposal. My mother knows this, and my sisters know this. A cousin dealing with my proposals told me this. I wanted to know why and I found them. The reasons women give are not a problem to me. They simply don't want to procreate with short men. They are physically/sexually unattracted to them. The evidence is out there.

That's a shame, m.alghul. Because otherwise, you seem like a totally normal, sane, charming man ranting on the internet.

Because they're looking for a reason behind getting rejected. I have no doubts whatsoever that there are many people that have googled their flaws to see others opinions. I know I've googled 'do men care about scars' because I have several surgery scars and have been rejected for that. The overall consensus? Men don't like women with scars. Oh well, their loss.

So... you're irritated that you tried to buy a woman and they rejected you because of your height? Seriously? And sure there are plenty of women that are physically/sexually not attracted to short men, just as you're physically/sexually not attracted to fat women.

A short guy can be cute. Like a little doll, or a baby brother.
