It's lost its meaning! I'm 5'10 and was called a short king! I think it just means under 6'

This. I'm convinced people aren't turned off by height so by lack of self esteem.

I used to constantly complain. No one likes being around a victim all of the time. Victim mentality is a plague.

I'm aware at 5'6 how everyone prefers tall men Do they though? I see this all the time online but in reality, lots of men of various heights have partners. I mean, if women actually only went for tall men humans would, on average, be a lot taller.

by Sad-Comfortable4310 2 weeks ago

Average height has increased by several inches per generation for a while now, so we are indeed getting taller.

bad comparison but some people have a thing for redheads; significantly fewer for brunettes. Lol what? There are far more men out there who have a thing for brunettes than there are men who have a thing for redheads. When I talk with other male friends about the hair color they prefer on women I'd say it's often a fairly even toss up between brunette and blonde, it's very rare if ever I hear a man say his preferred hair color on a woman is redhead.

Honestly? I'd rather date guys around my height (5'7) or shorter. I like being roughly equal in size. Its hot. Above 6'0 is too tall for me and actively a turnoff. I am aware I'm in the minority, but I doubt I am the only one.

Everyone isn't able to get their preferred dream mate. Most people settle for what is realistic. Women get with shorter men, but they don't prefer, fantasize about, or desire short men

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

I don't think you're wrong but we live in a different time now. It's easier than ever to filter out potential partners.

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

You can find people with all body types who find partners, but it doesn't mean there aren't widespread preferences And often, those people were NOT within the preference of their partner (and their partner might even have "settled" on them...)

It wasn't originally meant as a prize. Just another in a long line of originally respectful terms that got marketed out of their original meaning.

by Diligent_Exchange 2 weeks ago

"Short king" is a reminder that short men can be attractive too. OP is here saying "no they can't".

by East-Initiative-3509 2 weeks ago

I think you're overthinking it. As a fellow short king, it's not meant to be taken seriously LOL

I find it pretty annoying. But one time I saw this video where a girl was being interviewed and she was only into short guys. And it when she used it, it didn't feel like a sideways insult.

by AsleepAd6516 2 weeks ago

The only reason the term 'short king' even became a thing is too many short dudes with Napoleon complexes. I swear short guys make more of a thing about their height than anyone else.

My unpopular opinion is that I prefer shorter guys

by Certain_Still 2 weeks ago

by Anonymous 2 weeks ago

It's just a silly meme. We can't exactly force women to ditch the height preference, so what do you suggest instead? It's at least the semblance of a positive association around being short, even if it feels like not enough.

Think of it as and advantage in dating. You can find a really good partner when you know a lot of people are shallow like that. Also consider a partner that is taller than you, could be pretty badass once you get past the height insecurity thing. Tall girls are worth love just as short guys are.

by Alternative_Town7026 2 weeks ago

5 6 isn't even that short. Been 5 2 my whole life and hear it all the time. It's just my body and it is what it is who cares. My wife calls me short king and I love it

by Kayleywelch 2 weeks ago

It's almost like a positive term for something viewed socially as a negative will always become a negative. Try calling someone special and tell me if they feel empowered or belittled

I'm 5' 5" and honestly never bugged me. Tbh, no one's ever came up to me and said "wow, you're short." This has never happened. There was never a point in my life where I had to force myself to accept being short. I've been short all my life so it was never something I had to get used to. It's never affected my dating life either. I've dated women taller than me. Like an entire head taller than me. I've dated a girl who was like 5' 10" and we'd go out and I remember when we'd pass men while out and about and some would give a nod like "okay, I see you," lol. I'd see peoples' faces go from wanting to laugh to "oh, she's with him??" Sort of expression. However, when it comes to representation, I agree that short men are still clowned on by society. As much as we go on and on about body positivity, short men still make headlines for…being short. Like how the media made a big uproar about Tom Holland and Zendaya and then going: "oooohhh he so short." And it's annoying. The height difference between them is so insignificant it's not even worth mentioning.

As a 5'6 dude, just don't care about height man. If a woman doesn't like you because of height, you don't want to be w someone so shallow lol. Short king is a fun phrase. Also there are women who prefer short men, don't go down the pill stuff, red blue black whatever color they are, stay sober and smart, learn to be happy w yourself
