Was the stigma against short men a thing before online dating where everyone had to post their heights publicly?
I remember in my teens/early 20s - before dating apps were a thing - having several much shorter friends than me that were much more popular with the ladies.
- ratww 5y agoI remember the same, I'm quite tall but I had a few short friends who were very popular. I have the impression that this is mostly a problem among younger people. The "only men over 6 inches" that people report seeing on Tinder feels almost like a meme that women are taking too seriously.
- prawn 5y agoI suspect the same. Dating later in life, I think people realise that there are more important traits to seek in a partner. Got a friend who's under-employed, overweight, grey and around 50, and he gets dates because he's charismatic.
- Xeronate 5y agoThere are still plenty of short men doing perfectly fine and plenty of tall guys doing terribly. I think many men have a very poor understanding of what the women they want want out of their relationships.
- q1w2 5y agoWomen have always preferred tall men - it is innate. I remember women in old movies from the 1960s refer to "tall, dark, and handsome men".
