He's just completely nuts to the point of openly talking about the home sex vids he posted of himself and his wife on pornhub in between praising her for being perfect and multi-paragraph posting about her being from Russia constantly.

Unless I'm thinking of another insane wife guy.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

I do not understand why people think it’s good to be tall. I’m 6 foot and if I could press a button and be 5 foot I’d do it without hesitation. Small people have it made, they fit in thing so much easier, their feet don’t hang off the bed, they can delve deeper into the tunnels into the earth, it’s easier for them to look big and wide when they add muscle, the same length of beard looks longer on a short person because of the proportions, etc.

Taller people, especially men, are consistently considered more attractive and desirable, for one.

Most women prefer tall men. It’s a pretty big disadvantage in dating if you are a short man.

Spend enough time on dating apps and you'll find a significant number of women who explicitly state that they are not interested if you are under 6 feet tall. It's not crazy incel poo poo.

It's well documented that height (and beauty in general) is positively correlated with success in a whole lot of areas.

Similar to being ugly, fat, non-white, poor, or bald, being short limits your appeal to women. It is a disadvantage. I don't understand why so many people in this thread are ideologically committed to denying this (maybe due to a dedication to some kind of warped conception of feminism?), but it is true.

I think (hope) we can all agree that even if it is true, being insecure and moaning about women not liking you because your short is loosing you a lot more date opportunities than the height itself.

This is coming from a short ish person, I’ve never mentioned height on my dating apps, because I genuinely don’t think about it, and never had anyone disappointed about me not being tall.

I'm 6'4'' and it has been an advantage in many ways. Had some drunk girls tell me "you are so tall", sometimes I can feel it happening in a more abstract sense, sometimes I assume it's just is kinda there.

It isn't productive to moan and complain all day about how you have some kind of disadvantage and are a victim of society (goons ITT please take this to heart!), but on the other hand, it is probably smart to be aware of biases/disadvantages against you so you can realistically attribute your shortcomings to the right thing.

I'm pretty average in height and never had any problems, and neither did the non-annoying men I know who range from 5'3" to 6'3". It's like saying 'small breasts are a disadvantage in dating' like yes, it's technically correct but it's not at all something one could describe as 'a pretty big disadvantage' in any way, shape, or form, except with a certain small subset of women.

Sure you get attention for an unusual physical feature, but you'd get more attention if you were five feet tall and very strong and had a big beard.

If you're a total wallflower who still blends into the background in that situation, you could simply "peacock" by shaping your hair into a big red mohawk and applying woad bodypaint to your muscular arms and torso

I spent a lot of years in that world and saw it pretty darn regularly! Then I switched to Hinge which shows your height and thus eliminates those people. Worked a lot better.
