In the dating world, there was a time when nothing – not even good looks and a killer sense of humor – mattered more than standing over 5’7”. Some men even went as far as getting a super expensive (and painful) leg-lengthening surgery just to be slightly taller than the ladies. But at long last, women have come to appreciate the appeal of short kings.

What does being a short king mean? Why have more people suddenly changed their tune about dating men of below-average height? Short kings wear their height well and don’t let insecurity cloud their minds. Above all, what they lack in stature, they make up for in charming qualities. Here’s why being a short king makes you even more dateable.

One surprising perk of dating a shorter guy is you will take fire pics of his girlfriend. Think of it this way. As someone with shorter legs, you have the prime height to snap a low-angle shot that makes other people look longer – no need to awkwardly squat or crouch.

Beyond your photography skills, you're probably more willing to go the extra mile for the ‘gram. You have no problems standing on tiptoes, grabbing props for your boo, and checking the lighting. You would obediently take photo after photo without complaints, never get bothered by who's watching.

Short guys can either be the big or small spoon.

Tall dudes can make snuggling a logistical challenge. Their arms are too long, and their legs hang off the bed. Meanwhile, you fit perfectly beside your partner without having to battle for space. No stretching or fidgeting, just pure comfort and intimacy.

Before leaning in for a smooch, make sure your face is fresh and clean. Wash your mug with Master All-Day Active Clay Wash Cool Rush, which has active menthol ingredients that helps brighten your skin and control sebum production.

It’s Easy to Share Clothes

For some couples, wearing each other's clothes is like a relationship rite of passage, symbolizing a deeper level of connection. With your stature, this whole shared wardrobe dynamic makes a lot more sense. Your worn-in hoodie is just the right amount of slouch on her. Those fitted tees and jeans look badass on her figure. Ultimately, your smaller body type earns you +100 aura points.

Short Men Are More Self-Aware

You have developed a keen sense of who you are on the surface, having spent much of your life in a world that’s hung up on height. You know you don’t fit the stereotypical mold of the tall, alpha male, so you consciously invest more in your personal growth. As a result, you’re more emotionally intelligent and able to take criticism without feeling defensive.

You also tend to approach relationships with a greater sense of appreciation and respect for your SO. You listen, you understand, and you appreciate your partner’s feelings – all because short kings like you know long-lasting emotional connections go way deeper than physical appearances.

Short Guys Do More Housework

Short kings are not above doing the cooking and cleaning.

Research has shown that shorter men are more willing to pull their weight when it comes to chores around the house. Scientists don’t really know the reasons why, but it could be tied to the fact that not-so-tall guys are less concerned with traditional, macho stereotypes. In other words, you don’t leave dirty socks next to the laundry basket.

A short king knows that maintaining a clean space is just as important as keeping up personal hygiene. Add POND'S Men Facial Wash Acne Solution to your grooming routine.
