    If this bunny can date a girl bunny four times its size, you can date a woman a few centimeters taller.

    I don’t get these guys. My wife is a couple inches taller than me and it… just doesn’t matter? If anything it puts my face closer to the boobies, so what’s the problem?

      Guys are being spoonfed by the monosphere the narrative that if they’re 1cm too short or 1kg too heavy, women immediately despise them.

      It keeps them trapped in a self fulfilling cycle of despair and watching mysoginist grifter content online.

        I mean, that’s actually what happens though. Two weeks ago my wife and I were setting up two friends of ours on a blind date, and literally her first question was “how tall is he?” She of course got pissy when I asked what I should tell him if he asked about her weight.

        The manosphere is only able to capitalize on this rhetoric because it’s largely based in truth. Hashtag not all women, but enough of them for practically every guy under six feet to have a rejection story for being too short.

        To act like stuff like this isn’t happening to guys daily is being willfully ignorant, and not working to change this culture is only going to drive more men to the horrible people who at least acknowledge that their problems are real.

          Of course some women dismiss men who are shorter than them, there are also men who dismiss women because their tits are too small or too big or a myriad other reasons.

          The manosphere manipulates that and has used it to warp the minds and self worth of an entire generation slightly ugly or slightly short guys who are all perfectly capable of finding a partner and having deeply meaningful relationships with others.

          Good luck “changing the culture” though, whatever that means.

            I honestly don’t either - it’s probably just as arbitrary and socialized as boob size preferences. Maybe someone here with a background in sociology or anthropology can shed some light?

              I do wonder. It seems really important to women. Probably the whole stereotype of what a man should be, and a man being small ruins it for them instantly.

            Hey, I get it. It’s much harder to acknowledge the harmful biases you’re showing in this comment and be a force for positive change than it is to just reflexively lash out at the messenger.

            Until that happens though, the problem will remain, and you’ll remain a part of it.

        I’m not sure it’s really spooning if she can’t bend at the hips because the end of my back is far below them and basically at the height of her knees. Not sure having to lay down completely straight is a comfortable position lol

        I suppose a short girl could spoon me traditionally if she wants to be facing my lower back but that’s not really what I want either

          It’s called jetpacking

          What I do it put my knees fully into their knees and wrap my torso around their butt, arms around their waist/low chest. I only reach half way up their back (I’m smol) but they love having my head rest against the middle of their back.

          When I spoon my partner, we match hips and my face is somewhere between their shoulder blades

            Okay I can’t say I wouldn’t like but I guess I really just wish someone much larger than me would cuddle with me so that I could feel small I guess or like protected? Idk it’s hard to explain

    Or when you like men who are the same height or shorter than you … but are quite short yourself. I assume many tall heterosexual women aren’t happy with their height, either.

    Either way it doesn’t matter if you literally never go out to meet people.

    Same. 2m tall and get 0 sweethearts. Therapy wasn’t much help with anxiety caused by this. It is really painful, knowing that I’ll be forever alone. Contemplating taking an easy way out since September.

      My partner is almost 2m tall. The have often complained that their size easily scares people off. I’m sorry about the anxiety. It sucks.

      I believe the world is better with you in it. If you want to chat, I’m available.

    Yaa lotta guys get the rough end of the stick. I feel. I’ve been trying for roughly a decade to flip the tables. Sick of the “female specimens” nonsense.
