"Especially when you say they are too short for you, you get the “you are actually f*cking joking? We’re all the same size laying down.” Or when you mention the height they miraculously have inputted incorrect details. Had one last night, 5ft 5, but then said he was 6ft " I've met him, he's 6' 5" | |||

"Is there any bloke who actually gives a shit how tall a woman is, even if she’s 7 foot still wouldn’t be a problem. " I was just wondering that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone refer to a woman’s height. If men only like tall women then I’m stuffed | |||

"Me just relaxing minding my own business. Male/Female makes what they feel is a highly amusing and original reference to my height. I ask them that as they think it's ok for them to take the piss out of something I have no control over, is it ok for me to take the piss out of them for being grossly overweight, cross eyed, hook nosed, having very large ears, possessing a stutter, or whatever. I am then accused of having Little Man Syndrome." Fair point. | |||

I think it's nasty. | |||

Tall men get the tall jokes, bald men the bald ones, ginger the ginger etc. People use the obvious to make silly conversation or banter. In my family it's tall and bald, and the tall bald men are the worse for it. | |||

"Perhaps. Some of history's greatest tyrants were vertically challenged. Coincidence? You decide. On fab I do think it's harder for men of smaller stature to be successful as many a woman's profile is inflexible in this criteria. Does that make them more aggressive with regards to rejection perhaps? I don't know. Ladies? " Not aggressive, but maybe more assertive or animated. Tall men can be aggressive too. | |||

It's usually the big body builder types, who think that they have a right to assert their dominance over someone smaller, because they were bullied at school or something. When you stand up to them, it's you with the issue!? Boils my piss! | |||

"Lol think there are guys with a chip on their shoulder of all sizes. If they're tall = we think aggressive bully. If they're small = we think over compensating. I'm a bit hobbit like in stature but I'm happy as I am and easy-going. - B (also found that it's never been an issue finding partners, most have normally being happy that I'm a great guy , if someone has preferences on height, don't sweat it move on - life is too SHORT ) " | |||

"Short man(person) syndrome - does it exist? On fab too?" As a short guy myself who's spoken to my female friends on Fab at length about the way a lot of men behave on here the abuse is vile and shows a serious lack of class. Being a gentleman on the other hand pays serious dividends if you're patient and non-entitled. If you do have 'small man syndrome' this really isn't the place for you. | |||
