Women gave them boys the ammo in the first place.
Depends.
I won't deny that being short can hurt men but women will overlook it if you make up for it in other ways.
Hell, I have a cousin in Newark who looks like Katt Williams(hair and face) and is roughly the same height as him(5'5) and has like 3 different baby mamas. His secret is that he's naturally hilarious and a people's person.
On a side note, dudes cap about their height way too much which affects perception. 6ft dudes are only 15% of the male population in the U.S but dudes cap about it so much that you'll swear it's 50% of men.
I'm genuinely 5'10 and I've literally ran into some dudes in the 5'6-5'8 range who false claimed my height like Wayne/Chris Brown did the Bloods even though I was clearly taller.
