I thought he was 5ft 7”. Still not v.tall though.

Milomonster · 04/03/2021 08:01

Wow thought he was 6’2. He’s cultivated quite a slick image which has gone to shit in my eyes following the coke video yesterday. It’s very cringe.

BernardoTeashop · 04/03/2021 08:01

Dinky? How offensive. Are we going to make fun of peoples weight next?

Port1aCastis · 04/03/2021 08:03

How can he be dishy when he's a tory

EssentialHummus · 04/03/2021 08:05

Never marry a short man.

How come? (I'm not in the market for one, just curious.)

daysdaze · 04/03/2021 08:09

@kooked

Its a no from me. He's not Dishy in the slightest, he's a Tory ffs. He could be the most aesthetically pleasing man on the whole planet ... unfortunately personality and credibility are big things to me.
Nice prejudice

God, some people are so fucking rude about short men.

My DS is short for his age and is not likely to be a tall adult. He’s a lovely, kind young man. I’ve reassured him that most people will see past his height. Maybe I ought to have to revised ‘most’ down to ‘some’ Sad

Oldat40 · 04/03/2021 08:25

@EssentialHummus I married one. Now divorced. He definitely had "Short Man Syndrome" as well as many other bad traits. Mind you, I wouldn't ever marry a rich man again either so may be I just don't like men!!! Hmm

It's depressing isn't it.
Ylfa · 04/03/2021 08:26

5’5 isn’t short! If it’s taller than me it’s not short. Where’s the gavel?

Pipepans · 04/03/2021 08:28

Hadn't even thought about his height, he's a good looking man but far too smarmy, just surprised when he talks with non moving perma hair and perma smile that a twinkling star of light does not bounce off a front tooth, cartoon style! Just needs to add a wink at the end of each sound bite. Ok, I'm really over thinking about Rishi Sunak now...!!!

Bluesheep8 · 04/03/2021 08:29

Never marry a short man.

What a strange thing to say.

Oldat40 · 04/03/2021 08:30

@Bluesheep8 Google "Short Man Syndrome" Grin

Oldraver · 04/03/2021 08:30

My OH is 5'5" and one of seven boys, he only has one taller than him

But nah Rishy does not do it for me

unchienandalusia · 04/03/2021 08:32

He's 5'7. Same as Boris.

PrincessTuna · 04/03/2021 08:32

The whole dishy thing is the type of straw grasping you did at school when you were determined to fancy a teacher and ended up latching onto the only one under 30 despite his chronic case of arseholitus.

IheartJKR · 04/03/2021 08:36

@PicsInRed

That's 5'10 on Bumble.

randomer · 04/03/2021 08:38

He is "dishy" in comparison to our noble leader I suppose.
I don't think he would spit on you if you were burning.

SaharaSavana · 04/03/2021 08:40

What a nasty thread!. My DS is 5ft 5 and a lovely, compassionate young teen, who is doing great things in our neighbourhood to help the needy. A lot more than any of the vacuous crones on here.

Rude isn't it. My close friend's DS is the same, he's 9 and the same height as my 7 year old. I was shocked when she told me some of the comments he gets about being "short" even from adults!
Bluesheep8 · 04/03/2021 08:45

@Bluesheep8Google "Short Man Syndrome"

Im familiar with the term. Not every short man has that though.

newcarcoming · 04/03/2021 08:47

To the people I have offended. The thread was purely because he looks so tall on the TV and I just expected him to be say 6ft 2.

I have nothing against shorter men, my husband is 5ft 8.

NotSorry · 04/03/2021 08:51

He’s 1.7m which is 5’7”

NotSorry · 04/03/2021 08:54

Boris is 1.75m which is 5’9”
