Been reading around here that a short man is basically cursed with the same dating troubles as the heavy set individual. So since some feel that a heavy person is nicer and has a "better personality" because they have to try harder because of the weight and for it to be "overlooked" (or however some people have worded it) - do you feel this to hold true for the short man as well? In my experience, many short men seem to be more angry and seem to feel owed. For what, I have no clue. I see more short men with pompous attitudes than the men who are taller.
So if they are having the same dating troubles by having a more limited playing field, shouldn't they be interested in putting forth their best foot personality-wise too - and maybe more women would overlook it?
Corner a dog and it will bare its teeth...I think feeling "less than" makes the human feel that way. I also think that perhaps back through the genes if you were a small guy and were in caveman mode...You had to scrap harder than the big guy that can take you out with ease. I really do believe that a lot of personallity is genetic. I really am not into short guys myself but dated a couple. They both had really great personallity and drive. I think they channeled that in a healthy attractive way instead of a napoleon complex.
P.s. You can always lose weight. You are not growing taller as an adult no matter how hard you try.

Sure, it all goes back to that saying, "I can change my weight but you can't change your face."
But someone can do something about being short and mean, just the same. A man can be short and becoming.
I will not date a man under 6'0. Not only because it's more convenient to wear heels, not only because I feel enveloped and balanced physically by a taller man's size. . . but because some short men have such scrawny attitudes. Not all short men - but enough of them certainly do to take such notice.
If I were a short man, I would try to be the most handsome, sweetest, charming little devil so all the women would take interest and not notice if I were shorter than them. I mean, to be short and a pompous jerk. . that's like social suicide.
everyone has something they have to "deal with" and "get over" on their way to developing poise, self-acceptance, confidence, and doing life on life's terms. Being short for a guy is just one of those things.
i have danced for years, and if a guy can dance, regardless of his height or looks, he is sought after and popular and in demand.
I remember attending a salsa competition as a spectator, not a participant. I went with a friend and we had a blast watching all the dancers perform, and then an evening of open dancing followed. My friend was just amazed by one man, who really stood out as a skilled and sought-after dancer, he was clearly enjoying life and having fun. I still remember what my friend said, "Well it just goes to show that a guy doesn't have to be tall or good looking to have the ladies going after him!" She was right.
No matter who you are, tall or short, thin or heavy, you should always try to put forth your best qualities. Many shorter men either overcompensate for their height or act like victims. I'm 5'8" so I'm not considered tall and I'm sure there are women out there who would reject me for that reason alone. But I've learned not to care. There are certain things about yourself you will never be able to change. You can carry a chip on your shoulder about it, but when all is said and done, you'll still be the same height. I would say the heavy guy has one distinct advantage over the shorter man. He can change his size. And some women actually like a heavier guy. How many women do you know that actually prefer a man who's shorter?
I think too many shorter men are quick to blame their height for their lack of dating success when what's really turning off women is their attitude. A lack of confidence will show right through. It's no different than the woman with small breasts acting all insecure cause she's worried men won't find her attractive. There are a lot of short men just as there are a lot of small-breasted women who project so much confidence that others don't even notice if their short or flat-chested.
I don't think it's a fair comparison. I see many short (or shorter) guys with very hot petite and average height women- and sometimes taller women.
I very rarely see fat chicks with guys who aren't also fat.
Fat guys (30% are obese- more than overweight) have more problems attracting physically desirable women (HWP or thinner) than short guys, all other factors held constant. And those factors aren't trivial- personality, face attractiveness, intelligence, age, etc.
Of course, there are degrees of fatness and shortness. 5'7" is short but not really that short; 5'3" is very noticeably short.
Older women seeking long-term relationships have problems that trump any other class of people.
