Share icon Share Checkmark Link copied! Share icon Share Modal closeADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT While the modern world is busy breaking down prejudice, stereotypes, and body-shaming at a rapid pace, there are some things that get curiously overlooked, sometimes literally. Short men being one of them. Can you imagine, for example, you were single and browsing online dating sites for a match. You come across profiles that explicitly state things like: ‘Nobody over 70kg’ or ‘small-breasted women need not apply.’ There would likely be outrage, right? And rightly so. That kind of superficial and demeaning attitude shown by these rude people needs to be confronted in this day and age.However it’s curiously common, accepted and even encouraged for a woman to state quite openly in her Tinder profile that she would not consider dating a guy that is shorter than her, and many will quite happily post a minimum height limit. Why is this? Fair enough, we all have our preferences, you might say. Which is true. But for this to be such a widespread and openly accepted phenomenon begs the question, what about the short guys?The guy in this story exposed the stunning hypocrisy that many shorter, single guys face all the time in the Tinder dating world. Yeah, he baited this woman, and she followed his cues and bit. Hard. It does open up the discussion though, and it is perhaps time that more attention was paid to this form of body shaming.People can lose weight, get botox, hair transplants and all kinds of other methods to hide their insecurities, but 5’3” guy will always be 5’3.”Scroll down below to check out the savage comeback to such rude statement, and feel free to post your opinion in the comments below.A guy was browsing Tinder when this woman’s bio caught his eyeADVERTISEMENTShare iconHe matched with her and started a conversation to find out moreShare iconShare icon Share iconShare iconShare iconShare iconImage credits: janmayenoADVERTISEMENTThe exchange opened up a debate with some commenters sympathizing with the plight of many single, shorter menShare iconShare iconADVERTISEMENTWhile other saw it from a different perspectiveShare iconShare icon Anyone can write on Bored Panda.

If I had to describe the physical of the perfect woman to me, she would be a curvy brunet with long hair. The perfect man would be a tall Mediterranean guy (seeking my father may be ;p). And I promised myself never dating a smoker. Well my first true love was a tall androgynous girl with short ginger hair that smoked a lot (3 years together) and my companion is 5.6' and he inherits his chinese mother type (9 years together last week). I've been with people fiting my ideal and it didn't work. I would have miss a lot by sticking to my "ideal" ;p Vote comment up 19 19points Vote comment down reply Load More Replies...

I wouldn't want a guy shorter than me, either -- or one a half mile taller than me; I just don't like the brusque way she went about it. Having preferences doesn't mean you're automatically shallow.

Having preferences is fine, but having requirements that depend on physical things that no one has control over IS shallow. If you met the sweetest kindest most loving guy and he is only 5 feet flat footed. and hes healthy, intelligent, has his finances on order. perfect in every way. but is only 5 foot so that's a "no" from you. that doesn't seem shallow?
