Best Of

Sounds like you've had a lot of abuse at work, @David - I'm sorry to hear that, that's awful and completely unfair. Please believe me that not all people are like that or have anything like those kinds of standards, even though you've been unfortunate with the people you've met so far. Personally I don't think I know anyone (male or female) who wouldn't be shocked and appalled by the treatment you've received. I won't say any more here cos I don't want to detract from FordRanger's post, but it might be worth making a post of your own to talk about these difficult experiences?

a high proportion of the female population think it very important. Many have a minimum height requirement. In millions of cases the bar is 6ft or higher. In many cases it's part of the 'rule of sixes', a ridiculous set of minimum requirements/expectations by a significant minority of women which also includes a six-pack abdomen, a six-figure salary, a six-inch penis & having spent six years in tertiary education.

Why would it be worth going out with someone that narrow-minded and unrealistic in their expectations anyway? If I were you I would look for some much more down-to-earth people...

Hi @FordRanger - I can sympathise a lot with worries around getting into a relationship. From my own perspective, for what it's worth, I'd just like to have a partner who I love and get on well with! Their height is probably the last thing I'd be worried about, I don't care if they're taller or shorter than me - I know that everyone has preferences and that, conventionally, there's much more pressure on men to be tall, but there are many different kinds of people out there and you don't know who you might meet until you go and find out Nothing wrong with being short, mate.
