So this woman kept viewing my profile on POF. She was pure hot and seemed to have great qualities, but her profile said to not message her if you were under 5'10. From what I gather, you cannot tell how many times someone views your profile on POF but if they visit ever so often they will turn up in Viewed Me. 
  
After the third time, I ignored her height requirement and messaged her. She told me she thought I was handsome. A few back and forths lead to a first date. She is two inches taller than me and did not seem to mind it when we went out to dinner and for a few drinks.  
  
After the third date, she came back to my place and we watched a few movies on Netflix and laughed for hours. We did not kiss, but after the next date, we went to her apartment and made out. It was like an instant bond and she told me how she felt butterflies in her stomach. The connection was felt by both of us. Ater a few weeks she told me she hadn't felt the way she did about me about anyone else in a very long time.  
  
I have a feeling this will be one of those relationships that will last a long time and I have never been happier. The lesson here is to sometimes take chances, because if I let what her profile said stop me from messanging her, we wouldn't be as happy as we are today. 

I am one of the guys who could care less about what shoes a woman wears, but why do so many women makes their shoes a non-negotiating factor when choosing a partner?

Okay, I'm not saying video games are a sport, I'm asking what you all think. Should video gaming, especially when people play in teams, be considered a sport? I heard a while ago that ESPN will be airing a show for major league gaming, which I just find to be dumb, but that's me. I want to hear what you guys think. When I see sports I see physical activity that actually gets people moving, rather than a hand moving to push buttons. 

I came across this a few weeks ago and wanted to share this. For all of you who complain about altering pants or are too lazy to get it done, there is this group on Kickstarter who set up a campaign to fund their RipClips invention. Basically, it is a magnetic clip that automatically hems the pants your desired length by clipping the ends of the cuff to the inside of the pants. The result is a clean cut look that won't unfold and drag on the ground. 

The campaign is over, but you can contact them at their website to order or check out their Kickstarter page. They raised $2000 more than their goal a few months ago, so the item should be in production. It doesn't automatically literally hem your pants, but you could use it for the purpose I just mentioned. Even if you got your pants hemmed, it is a great item to protect the bottom ends of your jeans.

Forum Crash On July 15, 2014

Unfortunately our site crashed due to bandwidth overload and we lost some posts. We are using Google Cache to recover some of those posts and threads. As it would be unproductive to ask users recreate threads, we are assigning some of the old posts that can be recovered to user "RepostBot".

• If you see a post that you know you created, don't be alarmed.
• Posts which cannot be recovered but are cached will be assigned to user "RepostBot"
• If you wish to recreate your thread, go ahead and do it, we will prune the backup posts/threads
• We have everything under control and are working overtime with backups.
• This will not happen again. Sorry for any inconveniences. 

Hi all. We thank you for participating in the AtEyeLevel Short Guy Community forums in its earliest stages. To help boost membership and encourage posting and dialog, we are holding a contest for the "Best Post"!

The rules and guidelines are simple. We are looking for a post or thread that:

• Provokes conversation
• Sparks Interest and Debate
• Features long responses from users (i.e not just a sentence or two)
• Brings awareness to our community

We will pool all of the posts and list the top five qualifiers (from our opinion), and then on July 31, 2014 announce a winner! 

Any questions about this contest should be included as responses to this post. 

Happy Posting!

I'm serious. I've been reading the MMT forums and all of these people have these elaborate schemes about how they plan on saving up for the surgery, about which doctors they are choosing and I never knew that the amount of people who want the surgery is so huge!

So

1. Where are you getting it?

2. When are you getting it?

3. How are you saving up for it?

4. Why do you want to be taller?

Why is it that everyone's advice to short guys who struggle with dating is to "have confidence". Heightism plays an intergral role into a lot of decision making when it comes to dating preferences. I'm not saying that women who don't date short men are heighist, but you wouldn't tell an Asian or Black guy to "have confidence" if they were rejected by women of other races.

A short man could be confident in every area, but still be told to "have confidence" when being rejected repeatedly for his height. Confidence in this case won't mean a thing because a decision has already been made about his SMV.
