To find this weird and a bit cringy

This is light hearted but I still find it odd. So my BIL always stands on his tiptoes in photos to make himself look taller. He’s not even particularly short- about 5’10” . He looks ridiculous in the photos but he doesn’t want to appear shorter than any of the women - but he doesn’t seem to mind looking silly .

He sounds like an absolute helmet, I'm sorry. 5' 10" is going to be taller than almost all women anyway, so what the f#ck is he doing? 😆

I had an ex who was short. He was very good looking but sooo short. I figured it would be fine as I’m short.

I did notice that he would stand on his tippy toes around other men.

This guy was the stingiest guy I’ve ever met and a complete a-hole. He was always after everything he could get from other people. I will never ever date another short man.

I don't see what one trait has to do with the other.
