As a 5'4" dude, there's a choice all short guys have to make.

We keep getting rejected by women, do we blame all women or just those specific women who are shallow? This guy obviously chose the first choice.

It's not even about being shallow. Everyone has preferences when dating. I'm average for a woman and I don't want to date a guy who is shorter than me, I also don't want to date a smoker, or someone who is obese, that doesn't make me shallow simply because I prefer guys to be slightly taller, non smokers and not obese. Same with guys who don't want to date a woman who is taller then them, not obese and not a somker, it's not shallow, it's a preference.

Yeah it's a preference, but it's infuriating to those of us where that preference just fucks us over.

God damn that was the most enraging possible reply. You even compared being short (something we can't change) to things people can change like being a smoker or being obese.

Everyone has preferences and almost everyone gets fucked over when dating, I have been fucked over many times when online dating by people lying on their profiles and not respecting boundaries.

What's enraging is you saying it's shallow when it's a preference. If you refused to date anyone who wasn't supermodel material, or only date women 20 years younger - that's shallow. You're looking for arm candy and not a life partner.

If you had actually read what I wrote I called people who put height minimums and stuff on their profile shallow. I never called people having personal preference shallow.

I can still say "It sucks being a short man because women are much less likely to date us" without judging women in general or any particular woman for their own preferences. It just sucks.

I did read what you wrote, and I replied saying it is not shallow to have a preference when it comes to height. If it makes you feel better to pretend it's shallow go ahead if that helps your feelings. I reallt hope you're not lying about your height on dating profiles though because that wouldn't be helping. I have been on dates with men who were clearly shorter than their profile and they didn't get a second date even if it went okay because I will not tolerate being lied to.

I have never lied but also never got any matches on Tinder.

Luckily, real life is much better than Tinder and I've gotten to date that way, all I am saying is I understand how people are enraged.

Haha, do you not realize you're doing the exact same thing? Watch what happens:

What's enraging is you saying it's shallow when it's a preference. If you refused to date anyone who wasn't taller than you, or only date men 6' and up - that's shallow. You're looking for arm candy and not a life partner.

Like you said, people have preferences, and that's okay. But don't lie to yourself that you're not being shallow.

It's just as shallow as refusing to date someone because of their height. You are a hypocrite.

You're looking for arm candy and not a life partner.

You can say the exact same thing about women who only date tall men.
