Is it true that some women are getting "shortpilled"?

Shortpilled is basically the idea that women can get overall higher quality mates if they're willing so settle for someone shorter than they.

That would be good news for short guys, but I remain skeptical.

Just as you can get an overall higher quality mate if you are willing to date above your weight. Go for it!

Unless he is crypto billionaire, highly unlikely. There is nothing more unsightly then a taller woman putting her arms around a shorter man's shoulders. I am not saying this because I am tall. I'm only 5'8.

Agreed. Zendaya and Tom Holland pics for proof of this.

You can change your weight, but not your height. If youre fat, you should be ashamed of yourself because that is entirely your fault.

As someone who is more intelligent than you, I can tell you that weight is not entirely in one’s control. Please educate yourself.

But Tom Holland is Tom Holland. Most randos or normies would get a hard pass when it comes to a quality woman if she has many options to choose from.

Wait is entirely in your control. Being overweight is the reflection of an individual's habitual lack of self restraint and overindulgence on unhealthy consumption, 100% of the time. If you're fat, you did that to yourself. You can tell a lot about a person's character by the size of their waist.

Weight*

Oops, brainfart

The average woman is 5'4" and very few guys are that short.

Women don't want these little Napoleon guys hanging around. They look idiotic. Any guys that are 5'6" and shorter, like Marco "Foam" Rubio for example, isn't even a man. They are like a manlet or something.

5 11” Nicole Kidman and 5 6” husband looks humiliating to the little guy

Rubio is 5'9"

Women want a million things out of men besides them being tall, and they demand the man give it to them on his own initiative, without even being asked. Short men can sneak in this way by giving them all the other stuff. "Quality" means a doormat.

However, most men soon realize what a raw deal this is for them. Even the short ones realize it. But they may be more likely to accept it to compensate for their disadvantage.

So rethink who is "settling" in that situation.

Higher quality in which way?

Is this the idea that women dont work and are desperately seeking out their lifesaving hero to provide for them on $70k pa again?

All the short guys ive known in my admittedly limited experience of friends and family have been workshy cheaters and with quite annoying personalities. One of them was notably good looking, and he was the worst cheater of all. Still doesnt have a job.

Im gonna be generous to the post and say that the argument is supposed to be that there are simply less of the tall men women typically pursue.

Only 20% of the male population is over 6ft tall. It would stand to reason that if you disregard height then you would have an easier time finding a "good" man among the 80% rather than the 20%.

Uh huh. And how tall are you claiming to be, Stretch?

I’m 5’6” and have absolutely no problems with women; very attractive, highly successful, desirable women. Usually the issue is having too many at the same time, honesty.

If you’re short and can’t get a top notch girl, you’ve got other undesirable traits. I’ve got a great job (physician), keep fit (running), and make women laugh. It’s really quite normal to find high quality mates if you have those simple things going for you.

It’s only in certain cultures that we place such a value on height and money. In other cultures, other traits matter. That’s not to say one is right or one is wrong. But there are just…..so….many….people in this world. It’s easy to find hot girls (or guys) if you’re a normal, charismatic person.

No, women's desire for a taller mate is biological, not cultural. Some people are able to overcome this disadvantage - for example, you overcame it by becoming a doctor - but make no mistake women would prefer a 6'+ version of yourself.
