Day 2 of reminding the fediverse there are women who prefer shorter guys (source: am one of them). If y'all don't want them I'll take them. I'll take them all.

I imagine there are even women out there who care more about a man's personality than their height...

Being short isn't your fault, being a dull cunt is.

Having partners the same height and relative size as you is great as you get to effectively double your wardrobes.

Granted this works best when you both have similar tastes in fashion though.

Dating someone of equal height: you can easily kiss on the lips without anyone awkwardly bending to reach

Dating someone shorter: every hug gets a bonus motor-boating

brilliant

I can assure you that there are EVEN MORE women out there care about personality AND height...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Does anyone find bitterness and resentment attractive though? Maybe work on that first before you worry about how tall you are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Good thing I'm tall.

I'm married to a man the same height as me. Absolutely zero regrets. He's kind and funny, and my favorite person.

The only thing I'm slightly jealous of is that I might not be able to wear my husband's ribcage as armor should I outlive him the way that women with taller husband's can. But that's life! I love my husband more than I desire widow armor.

I have no idea where your lore is from, but I like it! As a taller and bigger guy, I see no better way to go out than protecting my love my partner from hordes of barbarians. Let my ribs be impenetrable armor and my femur be an armor splitting bludgeon for her berserker rage. Tales will be told and songs will be sung, and ….. crap, she’s now my ex. Forget it, I’ll fertilize a tree when the time comes

Thanks! As far as I know I made it up, but it wouldn't surprise if the concept has appeared elsewhere.

The height preference thing always kinda reminded me of orcs or amazons and I figured those archetypal societies would do something like that... plus I saw an opportunity to make a joke. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Also I really enjoyed the picture you painted with it! That was a fun read. I hope you find that badass lady to wear your ribcage in battle one day!

I might not be able to wear my husband’s ribcage as armor

seems like it would smell...

How do you think they articulate skeletons in museums or medical displays? They clean them. First with bugs, then with chemicals like peroxide.

Height and attractiveness have nothing to do with each other for me, but I do wish someone would find a way to make my wife taller so I wouldn't have to keep getting things off of the top shelves in the cabinets for her.

I'm 1.57cm :) you have my contact on my profile

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Now I'm interested why and how are you measuring tenths of millimeters

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah but it would smoosh into such a limp dick, no way to get an accurate grip.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So IDK exactly what you were talking about BUT I work with micrometers everyday at work and you actually grip em with your pinky or sometimes pinkey and ring finger, and hold it against your palm so you can use your thumb and index finger to rotate the top!

Even people with big hands can use them pretty effectively :D

This concludes the unasked for, unnecessary information. TY for listening

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The discussion was about measuring a limp dick not using the limp dick to operate the micrometer.

Now I'm interested what the comment was before deletion.
