Dishy Rishi is only 5ft5 !!

[newcarcoming]

He's dinky!!

He looks so much taller!!

[Bluesheep8]

There’s a difference between personal preference and you coming on a thread to warn everyone to NEVER MARRY A SHORT MAN.

Quite.

[HairyChin]

Bloody hell

Wonder if he has small man syndrome

[Oldat40]

Just speaking from personal experience. Marrying a short man was a mistake for me.

[RMRM]

He's not dishy, he's made some dreadful errors and it would be nice if he just cracked on with the job instead of constantly pumping out slick pr influencer shit designed to get him the top job in the near future.

A mistake because he was short? Why?

[RMRM]

He made people stand on the stairs for a photo call so no one realises his height.

I don't particularly care what height he is but he obviously has a bit of a thing about it.

[Oldat40]

@CovidKingfisher He had an inferioroty complex which added to his arrogance/control issues. He always felt he had to prove himself.

[Oldat40]

*inferiority

[ChelseeDagger]

He's not dishy but that has bugger all to do with his height.

I prefer men on the shorter side but he gets a hard pass from me.

[CandyLeBonBon]

Ffs what a nasty thread. My sons aren't especially tall although they may grow for a bit. I'd be really upset for them if women were mocking their height and saying 'ugh, never marry a short man'

That's really such a regressive, reductive , stereotypical and utter shallow thing to come out with. It's like saying never marry a redhead. Or never marry a black man. It's a vile attitude.

It's ok to have a preference. It's not ok to mock people for something they cannot change. How deeply depressing.

Why?

[FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack]

If you think he's 'dinky' at 5'5" what would you do with the rest of the population that's shorter than that? Put us all in model villages?

[SlothMama]

He isn't dishy, he's a typical tory refusing to tax the rich!

[CandyLeBonBon]

[quote Oldat40]@CovidKingfisher He had an inferioroty complex which added to his arrogance/control issues. He always felt he had to prove himself.[/quote]
Probably because arseholes took the puss out of him for being short. His issue wasn't bright it was temperament.

[fluffedup]

He is dishy. But he sounds like Tony Blair when he speaks which spoils it for me a bit.

[ChelseeDagger]

CandyLeBonBon

Please don't worry about your sons' future.

[BilboBercow]

If we're talking looks I prefer Raab, even if he is psychopathic.

[Wondermule]

I generally prefer tall men, but I prefer a well built man, and tall/well built don’t seem to coincide that often.

Most of the ‘strapping, 6 foot’ husbands/sons posters write about are actually beanpoles

Thin arms and chicken legs are a turn off for me

[HeronLanyon]

I thought he was quite a bit taller.
I think he’s quite good looking.
Not attractive because a Tory.

[Oldat40]

@SaharaSavana Well if you had some you'd know that Oxford University have researched SMS and found:

Short man syndromereally does exist, Oxford University academics have found, after a study showed feeling smaller makes people paranoid, distrustful and scared of others. Scientists used virtual reality technology to reduce the height of volunteers travelling on a computer-simulated Tube train by 10in (25cm).

[Downthefarm]

He is 5 8, nearly 5 9 (1.7m).

[ChelseeDagger]

sorry, pressed send too soon.
ime most women who insist on taller men aren't very secure in their femininity. They feel that they need a tall partner to make them feel more dainty/womanly etc.
Its why you often see beautiful, tall gazelle like women with men of their own height or even a tad shorter.

[Ylfa]

The whole premise of the OP is pretty racist isn’t it?

[cyclingmad]

I only find that surprising because in pics he appears to be much taller.
