Men who are of short stature but otherwise healthy and normal find it very difficult to find a mate. The ideal height of a man for the “modern” woman regardless of her own height is 6 ft 2 in. All other factors such as the man’s intelligence, sense of humor, success, ambitions, etc are negotiable. In fact, many women put a man’s height as the absolute requirement in mate selection. Although many have argued for women’s selectiveness in connection with evolution (such as tall men are genetically superior to their short counterparts), the arguments are a bunch of nonsense.

In effect, short men have been made victims of a social prejudice especially in the dating seen and there seem to be little to no attempts to educate and help eliminate discrimination against short men. One possible solution, though a somewhat short term one, is to establish a means to bring short men and potential mates together in the internet dating community. Currently under development is shortlistonline.com, a free online dating service especially designed for men of short stature.

Although the word “short” is a relative term, men especially under 5 ft 7 in are significantly disadvantaged in the dating seen. The internet dating community is more likely to discriminate against short men than traditional dating methods. In online dating a man below certain height will never show up in women’s profile searches as they are more likely to limit their searches to their idealized height range. To give short stature men a somewhat fair shot in finding romance, shortlistonline.com has limited the maximum height of their members to 5 ft 7 in. By doing so, the site minimizes height related prejudice. Some may argue that putting a maximum height limit is height discrimination by itself. This and related issues will be the topic for future discussions in this series. (To be continued)
