Short Men Speak Up!

I find it amazing that I continue to get responses from men to a column I wrote LAST SUMMER about how women discriminate against short men. Here is a recent email:

I just finished reading the article on shortmen and dating, (or should I say trying to date?), and found it quite accurate. Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge the fact that a lot of women, not all, but many, many women do refuse to date short men. I've a lot of experience in this area. I'm 5'2'' and have been trying to meet a mate to finally settle down with. However, at 51 it's not looking too good!

Whenever I've tried to explain to people how difficult it is to try to find someone to date, they always say the same thing, "You just haven't found the right person". No shit!!!! The fact of the matter is 99% of the women want "Mr. Big". To make things worse, short women are the most stuborn, I believe. I've dated so few girls my own height. I've actually had better luck with tall women 5' 10" or taller - seriously!

Today, women date men of any race, religion, color, etc., except when it comes to height! I know. I don't share this with a lot of folks because I fear they'll think I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Give me a break. Walk in my shoes for one day!
