Short men are like fat women – right?
Some of them can be cute but they’re less dateable than their more physically gifted counterparts.
No.
Being 6ft doesn’t automatically make you sexy and, in fact, short men have the edge over their gangly giant counterparts in many ways.
Luckily, he has an amazing personality, because he spent so long making up for his height.
The thing is, we don’t give the short guy enough credit. He tries harder, and he’s funnier and nicer than the tall douchebags who don’t put in the effort. The short guys are the real winners.
He may not be society’s “ideal” height, but he’s a good boyfriend — and that’s what matters most.
1. They’re perfect kissing height
Anyone who’s tried to cop off with a really tall man knows about neck crooks and the slightly wrong ‘little girl’ feeling of having to stand on your tip toes to get anywhere. With shorter men, however, everything is perfectly aligned.
2. They’re the life of the party
Tall men, as a rule, seem to think they can waltz into a social situation and demand respect in return for the fact they happen to have a freakishly tall parent. This actually has a name – ‘tall man syndrome’. Shorter guys, however, have had a life of working harder to be noticed, meaning they’re friendlier, more fun to be around and usually surrounded by a gaggle of girls.
3 They’re better at hugs
Trying to hug a tall man is a bit like trying to embrace The Spinnaker Tower – everything’s in the wrong place. When were talking shorter men it’s all good which, of course, leads to the fact…
4 They’re better at sex standing up
Vertical sex with a man over 6ft requires one, if not both, of you to have the flexibility, tenacity and cold, hard muscle of Wolf from Gladiator. If he’s shorter you both stand more of a chance.
5. They hog less space
Oh look, tall men seem to say, look on my 6ft stature and despair. Yeah, we do, especially when we’re trying to share a cramped train or plane ride with you and your giant spindly legs. It’s also a bit embarrassing to be with you at the theatre or game to be honest, as everyone behind us is huffing at your physical existence obscuring
6. They make better boyfriends
According to one study, shorter men do more housework, earn more money and are less likely to divorce than their taller counterparts.
