Dumb. If a woman won't date guys based on their height, they're not worth being with anyway.
Exactly, dodged a bullet really.
It’s the equivalent of Peter Griffin wearing a shirt that says “no fat chicks”
Except being short isn't a massive health issue.
Yeah but the guys doing this are to young to understand this. All they see is online world reaffirming their fears that this is a huge deal to women. In my experience a lot of women who i thought wouldnt actually do care about it which surprised me.
Do you have another article on this? The guy this article focuses on is 38 and married.
