YES! Clearly I was making a serious point about music! Good job by you to set me straight!

Also, female police officer is a pre-Shonda Rhimes Dr. Bailey.

Wait. Is this from the episode where Samantha catches Richard cheating on her? Because the episode after that is my favorite one. Specifically because of this scene:

Ms. Holmes and Mr. Foxx

Kinda like small penises. You can rant on reddit about SJW and alpha males, or you can be reallllyyyy good at other stuff in bed. Not all women will stick around for that, but plenty will.

Yeah, I prefer short guys myself. I see lots of happy confident married short guys, some with wives who are taller than them, and I can guarantee you that the one these guys have in common is that they didn’t spend a lot of time feeling sorry for themselves that they were short.

“Love like you’ve never been hurt. Sing like there’s no one listening. Grind and dry hump like no one is watching.”

I’ve exclusively dated short-ish dudes (somewhere in the 5’5” neighborhood). There IS a variety of short dude that gets pissed about it. I never dated any of them, because they were assholes about other things, too, but acting like this is an excuse isn’t really true.

Seriously. That’s a proud personal achievement.

Oversharing to random strangers about your sex-life sounds like overcompensation to me.

Reading the responses here, one takeaway (with the obvious caveat that, culturally, things are worse for women in almost every way) is recognition that everybody’s dealing with shit of some kind. Feminists being told that having standards of any kind isn’t okay, athletic women dealing with people who aren’t into that…

Yeah. I am very committed. Thanks for noticing!

I have a brother that is short. He gets laid so much it’s fucking ridiculous and always has a string of girls after him. And the girlfriends he has had had always been tall for women and always taller that him.

I think my main problem with all this is :

LOL. That’s fucking stupid, man.

As someone who has dated guys who are Internet “5’7” (in the sense that they are under 5’5 because I am 5’5 in bare feet), I have to say that height isn’t an issue for me unless guys make it one. I had an ex who constantly harped on it and made me feel huge at 5’5 and policed my shoes. That one didn’t go anywhere.

Great post.

See, it’s not the shortness, but the insecurity.

THIS! I say do and date who or what you like. Even reject whole swaths of people because of race or whatever. But please don’t lose your shit if someone points out to you how your preferences were potentially shaped by a particular social and cultural context.

He has to be noticeably taller than me. Like I’m 5’5” and I dated a guy who was 5'9' and when I reflect he seems short. So like 9'3" or something. 14'5" or 7'8"
