"Never marry a short man - Short Man Syndrome"
Works both ways - "Never marry a woman - Pre Menstrual Syndrome"
Antiquated generalisations aside, I'm a mid-forties man who's about 5'01.
I was offered the growth hormone drug at school but I turned it down because I was and still am happy with who I am. I'd even go so far as to say that being offered it in the first place felt like a back-handed way of bullying by the very adults who were meant to be caring and impartial.
How would you feel if your daughters were offered some breast enhancing wonder-drug 'cos her tits were considered too small at 14?!
Apparently I was "Below average height" - Well don't we all need to be included in that calculation for them to arrive at an "average"?!
With online dating these days, anyone below 5'8 automatically gets rejected in the first round.
And with real-world dating we just get laughed out of town.
Knockbacks range from, at best, a polite "no thank you"... to "ha ha ha that's tiny!" (Yeah - that really happened!)
The only way I'm going to lose my virginity will be to pay someone to take it off me!
But apparently that's frowned upon too!!
On the flip side, I'm glad I'm short...
I read so many threads here about women who are with lazy, feckless, cheating, abusive & controlling "D"H's & "D"P's - So if being tall means I'd have to be a prized arsehole - I think I'd rather remain short and single!
