Well, if you did use Punxatawnie Phil, would you feel less bad about me thinking you're a man? Hmm, need a smilie to cover my ass, but which one? This one always works.

Ata: Aesthetically and ergonomically speaking, no, I would never date a guy who's littler than me. I'm pretty little myself, and I'd like to have someone to lean on who's not going to be mistaken for a human crutch.

DaShi: I don't feel bad about people thinking I'm a man online, because we all sound like a55holes in here anyway. I'd feel bad if you walked up to me in RL, looked at my tits and called me sir. No, actually, I'd probably laugh.

I know many girls that think like that. I can understand too, it does look a little strange to me seeing a girl and a guy walking along and the guy is smaller than the girl.

You can get away with it if you are twice as wide as them though.
Always thought it strange though.
I really( genuinely ) would like to know why?
I'm short, 5'7, yet, as a big fat bastard, have gone out with many taller girls. Why?

5" of thigh bone seems to be offset by 3" of collar bone in many cases, can someone explain why?

because some want to feel protected by a larger man?

I am of mostly Norwegian decent, so I wanted a nordic mythology name. I like knoledge and according to nordic myth Odin gave up an eye for the knoledge of runic, so it was obvious to pick him as my nic.

Sometimes, but it's easier to spot him in a crowd, he can get the Oreos off the top of the refrigerator for you, and he can point out stuff to you that you can't immediately see due to his higher visual range. A shorter guy can't tell me anything I can't already see for myself.

He can tell you when to change your socks.

Yep, and he's really short for a guy - 5'7".

I'm 5'6'' and very likely smaller than you as well.

It's a real shame that you let a thing like height get in the way of getting to know someone.

No problem getting to know someone. It's the rest that I have issues with. I hate being friends with someone who won't let the relationship stay that way. Especially if you specifically say you aren't interested.
Unfortunately, I am human enough to know that if I'm not at least somewhat physically attracted to someone, it's not going to work no matter how cool a person is.

Can be tough for guys to know when you ought to persist, and when you should back off.

Secondly, I don't understand why a short man would be physically unattractive just because they were short. He can't make himself any taller.

Guys with ugly faces can't make themselves any prettier, but that doesn't mean they aren't unattractive.

One woman finding the man unattractive does not make him unattractive to every woman.

Agreed. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
