Actually, by posting a comment that says you don’t care, you actually prove that you do care. Why else would you take those few seconds to care enough to write a reply pointing out that your don’t care to some random stranger who choose to write “First”?
Actually my first thought was “That is a HORRID jacket”!
Then I scrolled down, saw his equally horrid street shoes and don’t even get me started on the blue caterpillar trying to eat her chest. Also, what is up with her sunglasses?
This is a monstrous fail WAY before you get to the step stool. I can’t think of any reason a self respecting woman would stand next to a guy who feels the need to be on a stool to be taller than his date.
But, looking at her outfit and his, she is obviously not a self respecting woman
It looks like they would be about the same size (maybe he would be a little bit shorter) but if you notice that in the picture standing on the stool he is taller, and she is also wearing heels.
Yeah, she coulda shown a little consideration and worn flats, or at least heels that didn’t force her up to her tippy-toes…meanwhile, he could’ve worn western boots or something else with a bit of a heel. Maybe they did realize that the whole thing was ridiculous and decided to have a bit of fun with it.

That’s just how it is for my boyfriend and I. He can’t stand it when I wear heels and tower over him. I don’t mind though because he’s an amazing (fun-sized) person and what he lacks in height, he makes up for elsewhere…
yooo this is me….shes a good friend and we always joke that i wud bring a stool to prom, it was set up, im no midget im like 5-6 but it was supposed to be a joke
IF this is true then this is a WIN. Many women really have a problem with dating someone who’s shorter than them – and guys with dates taller than them. Props to both of you for having the confidence to not give a damn what others think.
Well, I think you’re both adorable. Anyone who would wear that jacket to prom clearly has a well-developed sense of humor. Please don’t take people’s comments seriously. They are trying to be clever and don’t really mean any offense.
I am seriously loving that stool, though. Where did you get it? I bought a similar stool at a consignment store and have never seen another like it. I’d love to find out where it was made. It has a really interesting construction. The legs go all the way through the top and are held in place with wedges.
Yeah, I love the stool, too. I have a similar one that I bought at a consignment shop a few years ago. I think I paid $45 on sale. It’s a beautiful design. This one looks newer.
well i think he is awesome! he is one of my best friends and could be one of the funniest guys you will ever meet! he has a great sense of humor and even though he was a lot smaller then his date he made it work!
fyi everyone at prom thought it was fantastic.
If you do some simple measuring, you’ll find that they’re about the same height. He may actually be slightly taller than her, depending on the thickness of his shoe soles. It’s all those damn heels.
ok. these two people are two of my close friends. I was at prom with them and it was so much fun. Whoever posted this picture to the website, you are a BIG @$$h01e and it is not funny. To everyone else, don’t judge, they are amazing people, and happen to look fabulous. So whoever is insulting how they look, screw you. They BOTH look amazing. i would like to see any you haters have as much swag and style as these two spectacular people.
p.s. that stool is bad ass, they were aware fo the height difference and decided to have fun with it. so suck on that haters.
Since my computer monitor is small I didn’t really notice anything. I slowly kept scrolling down wondering what was so fail and it was a suprise when i saw the stool-ish thing o-o
What, she fails because she’s not shallow like most girls, insisting on only dating the tallest guys they can find? For a guy as short as me to have a date at all much less a girl who’s actually taller than him, that’s an epic win for him.
The girl in the pic is 5’9 which is not freakishly tall. I am sorry if you cannot appreciate a tall woman. This picture is absolutely adorable and that girl looks absolutely stunning. All you haters can chill yo t’s because you are obvs jealous. She is comfortable with her height which is why she’s wearing heels and he is poking fun at himself for being shorter than her by using the stool. This should be a win because the stool is hilarious and he snagged a hottyay.
Which fail, because there are many, poor fashion decisions may ultimately lead to other poor decisions later on in the night. This picture should also be on Poorly Dressed. Unless thosethis picture was taken circa 1991, those are definitely throwbacks that I would definitely have thrown back in the NOOOO WAAAY pile when my mom brought that to me. If my mother had picked that dress out for me, I may have even slapped her to bring her back into this decade.
Back in highschool there was this couple I knew. He was round about… 5’2, and she was about an inch short of 6′. The boy was probably also about 110lbs, while she had a slightly thick amazonian build. It was pretty silly looking. It really looked like she was dating a 6th grader. I think they realized this and they broke up after just a few weeks. A little off point, but worth mentioning I think when everyone says this guy is short.
Tom Cruise is so in love with Katie
At least all his people tell him so
And though he thinks that she’s a very special lady
It’s probably not the way he’d chose to go
As a fairly tall girl who has dated guys shorter than myself, I can tell you a few things:
1. Sure, she could wear flats and minimize the height difference, but it is fun to wear heels when getting dressed up. It is both easier to find a cute pair of heels to go with a dress than cute flats, and they make your legs look longer and sexier.
2. Though this photo looks like they are just joking around about the height difference, and its probably a friend or parent taking the picture, photographers will sometimes try to get you to pose so that the height difference is less noticeable. When I dated a guy who was a couple inches shorter than me and I wore heels I don’t think anyone ever tried, probably because they would have had to do something silly like this; but when I dated a guy who was the same height as me and I wore heels, I remember going to a dance in high school and getting our picture taken and the photographer tried to move us around and encouraged me to slouch a bit so it wouldn’t be as apparent. A girl doesn’t get all dressed up in a pair of heels and a fitted dress because she wants to slouch, so this would be a reasonable solution if you wanted a guy too look taller in a picture and didn’t mind not showing below the knee.
3. This is probably too cheesy and positive for failblog comments, but don’t dwell on height in your romantic life! I’m not saying that looks don’t matter at all, because physical attraction is important in a relationship, but the average height of a man is ~5’9″ and if you set some arbitrary rule like not dating guys under 6 feet tall you really limit yourself. This is not to say I don’t understand tall women with qualms about dating a man shorter than themselves. Height difference is something people WILL comment on, and beyond being annoying it can exacerbate insecurities. So props to women who will date shorter men, and men who will date taller women. Have a sense of humor like these two and don’t let worries about height hold you back!
4. While height is only one aspect of a person; and I don’t mean to criticize people who may have insecurities about it; but if a guy is about the same height of the girl he is dating (give of take a couple inches) seeing how he reacts to her wearing heels that make her a bit taller than him can potentially be telling about how secure he is in himself. If a guy asks out a girl who is much taller than him chances are he is already plenty confident, but you might want to save the six inch platforms for later in the relationship
Essentially, I think titling this “date fail” was dumb, “stool fail” or “framing fail” might have been more appropriate. However I still have a sense of humor and compared to a few titles I have seen that crossed the line from risqué humor to very offensive, I can’t complain to much. But really, I’m inclined to think this one is a “win”
/excessively long post. No wonder I rarely comment on things, when I do I practically write a novel. Maybe I need a blog
I love tall. My wife is 6ft tall. I could handle if she were taller than me but I’ve got about .5cm on her. That being said, I wish she’d wear heels and make those sexy legs of hers even more sexy (she’s a bit hesitant to be even taller). I’d have no problem with her wearing heels that put her inches above me. As it is, lots of people check out her feet when they see how tall she is anyways.
A DATE FAIL: after the guy pays for our scrumptious dinner at a resto, which wasn’t that expensive to begin with, he says that he doesn’t have money to pay for the parking ticket. LOSER.
ANOTHER ONE: While driving, he suddenly runs out of gas in the middle of the highway. Parks the car on the side and brings his gas container to the near by gas station. LOSER.
CAN”T THESE GUYS BE PREPARED WHEN GOING OUT ON A DATE? LOSERS!
FIRST!!!!!!
OHHHHHHHH HOW SWEET IT IS
OHHHHHHH HOW FAIL IT IS
why is this a fail he is first
It’s a fail because he said “first”. Like anyone gives a shit.
Actually, by posting a comment that says you don’t care, you actually prove that you do care. Why else would you take those few seconds to care enough to write a reply pointing out that your don’t care to some random stranger who choose to write “First”?
And why would you take the 10-20 seconds to post a comment like THAT?, hmmm?
( If you are wondering, I’m posting a comment like this because I am bored.)
Actually, it’s because you care.
My Friend, at last, we meet again
no one cares that he’s first they just care cause they have to read that retard’s spam post first
you can solve this problem by havin her not wear freakin huge high heals
Because its not a competition, he didn’t win by commenting first, he just proved that he has no life
By saying first you show how much you fail
are you sure you’re no the one failing here mister?
No. First is a fail.
We are in failblog after all : D
no fail, just discrimation against small people
It would be an Honor to fail at FIRST!!!!
@ Animal
“Like anyone gives a shit.”
Obviously you do…. FAIL!
i don’t think it’s a real fail because this midget have a hot chick with him
Dude, you’re sayin what we’re all thinking.
Actually my first thought was “That is a HORRID jacket”!
Then I scrolled down, saw his equally horrid street shoes and don’t even get me started on the blue caterpillar trying to eat her chest. Also, what is up with her sunglasses?
This is a monstrous fail WAY before you get to the step stool. I can’t think of any reason a self respecting woman would stand next to a guy who feels the need to be on a stool to be taller than his date.
But, looking at her outfit and his, she is obviously not a self respecting woman
HAHAHA chill man they were just having fun for junior prom they can be a little ridiculous….
Don’t listen to the two other people, everything you said was EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Oh yeah, nice burn at the end.
they were joking having fun… you guys are ridiculous
But, looking at her outfit and his, she is obviously not a self respecting woman
Don’t worry, I’m quite certain her date will do everything he can to get her out of it.
I agree A Random Pooka. His jacket and the shoes are the fail of this picture.
Or is he normal sized and she’s an amazon?
It looks like they’re actually about the same height, but she’s wearing high heels.
It looks like they would be about the same size (maybe he would be a little bit shorter) but if you notice that in the picture standing on the stool he is taller, and she is also wearing heels.
I don’t think him being a midget is a fail. Him taking out that troll is the fail.
No, it’s fail because he won’t own up to being shorter than her, as if it’s shameful for a guy to be shorter than the woman he’s with.
I think “Hot” is being a bit generous here.
win
This is like Sarkozy.
…and every french, great leader in history..
Those are mutually exclusive clauses.
I haven’t slept for two days and thought that failblog was the one place that didn’t demand me to spell correctly or even think, but I was wrong ;(
Sarkozy “great leader in history” ???
Hahahahahahahahaha !
“French” and “Great leader” is an oxymoron.
Charles DeGaule could break you in two.
I said “every french, great leader”. I didn’t necessarily mean Sarcozy. More like Napoleon.. -_-
Ouch..
Doesn’t help that she is wearing 3 inch heels…
Yeah, she coulda shown a little consideration and worn flats, or at least heels that didn’t force her up to her tippy-toes…meanwhile, he could’ve worn western boots or something else with a bit of a heel. Maybe they did realize that the whole thing was ridiculous and decided to have a bit of fun with it.
I too have been compensating for 3 inches my whole life…
He’s remind me my president, Sarkozy…
At first I thought the fail was her glasses
At first I thought the fail was his jacket.
(haha yes. you bet it is)
At first I thought the fail was the scrappy background for a portrait shot.
We call it men’s heels
Men’s Stooletto’s.
Win!
LOL nice job.
its rwj
its Rock’n Wash’n Joker?
Boner from the TV show .. Family Ties, wasn’t it?
Ray William Johnson?
the game
is same
still lame
Damn it, I lost…
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
AHHHHHHHHH! TOO MANY C’s!!!!!!!!!!!
*hides in corner*
*wimper*
Well, I could be worse right?
If they are both flat-footed – he’s only an inch or so shorter than her (if that)…and this is definitely a win…
hubert > and her dress above all else.
Nice pic of sarkozy and carla héhé
Date win (she would be pretty without glasses), self-esteem fail.
“I’m sure you’d look better without those glasses. Let’s take them off… oooOOO GAWWD!! THE HORROR! NOOO PLEASEEE PUT THEM BACK ON, PUT THEM BAAACK OOOOONNNN!!!!”
Man, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have changed.
That’s what I thought, too!
omg haha that’s what i thought too
He just needed a little boost.
Sweet couple..
so sweet… just love to keep watching them…
nice. Good luck
He wanted to give her a smooch, but first they had to put him up to it.
He wanted to sir’mount the problem, but she forgot to wear stockings with ladders.
putting the amazon chick + 10 inches heels aside ,at first i thought she was wearing a 3D glasses
Heh, dork. I could totally dig a woman taller than I am.
I figured the jacket was part of the fail. In fairness, though, I’ve had a similar situation. I just stood on a higher porch step to even things out.
Scroll down, scroll down…
… fail.
The fail isn’t that he’s short (comparatively), it’s that he got photographed on the stool.
agreed.
Oh I don’t know. Fail if you’re her maybe. For him that looks like a straight up win.
But get off the damn stool son. Have some dignity.
Maybe it’s a photographer’s fail, but it’s an absolute date win!
Tall girls are hot!
JEAH! ITS A WIN
I prefer the short ones, make my package seem bigger lol.
It’s not that bad.
The stool is glued to his feet.
i see tis picture and feel nth special until i scroll down …. lol
It’s Tom Cruise, the early years.
Couldn’t figure out what was wrong, then I scrolled down XD
That’s just how it is for my boyfriend and I. He can’t stand it when I wear heels and tower over him. I don’t mind though because he’s an amazing (fun-sized) person and what he lacks in height, he makes up for elsewhere…
By the way you talk it sounds like he doesn’t drive a black Corvette.
Summary of brilliant comment Failblog won’t post: Insecurity=enemy, Lil’ Man+self confidence=Jet Li, Lil’ Man+insecurity=Ariel Sharon,Genghis Bloody Khan, etc. Tall girls=hawt, tall girls in heels=Uma Thurman,Michelle Obama, and don’t you forkin’ forget it, Lil’ Man.
Is he too short, or is she too tall?
yooo this is me….shes a good friend and we always joke that i wud bring a stool to prom, it was set up, im no midget im like 5-6 but it was supposed to be a joke
If it’s a joke then it’s a definite win. Well done.
IF this is true then this is a WIN. Many women really have a problem with dating someone who’s shorter than them – and guys with dates taller than them. Props to both of you for having the confidence to not give a damn what others think.
perfect height.
Well, I think you’re both adorable. Anyone who would wear that jacket to prom clearly has a well-developed sense of humor.
Please don’t take people’s comments seriously. They are trying to be clever and don’t really mean any offense.
I am seriously loving that stool, though. Where did you get it? I bought a similar stool at a consignment store and have never seen another like it. I’d love to find out where it was made. It has a really interesting construction. The legs go all the way through the top and are held in place with wedges.
Wow, that is the most beautiful stool!
I don’t see the fail here, I think it’s sweet that she loves him for his lovely, lovely stool.
Yeah, I love the stool, too. I have a similar one that I bought at a consignment shop a few years ago. I think I paid $45 on sale. It’s a beautiful design. This one looks newer.
this kid has serious guts i give him so much props for this
well i think he is awesome! he is one of my best friends and could be one of the funniest guys you will ever meet! he has a great sense of humor and even though he was a lot smaller then his date he made it work!
fyi everyone at prom thought it was fantastic.
Ew….that’s what she wore to prom?
Then yes, this is definitely a fail.
Where the F does my comment keep going?
Is it me, or does the chick look like that girl from The Wonder Years?
i heard tom cruise has to do the same thing when his picture gets taken
women wearing 4 inches plattforms is a FAIL
Those are not platforms. They are just heels. Platforms have a thick portion under the front of the foot.
And yes, this comment is so unnecessary but I love shoes ^_^.
*insert Sarkozy joke here*
double FAIL. the shoes also come up short.
If you do some simple measuring, you’ll find that they’re about the same height. He may actually be slightly taller than her, depending on the thickness of his shoe soles. It’s all those damn heels.
Failblog fails again.
Get a life please kthxbai
ok. these two people are two of my close friends. I was at prom with them and it was so much fun. Whoever posted this picture to the website, you are a BIG @$$h01e and it is not funny.

Someone in your group appears to be a traitor. Either that or your group needs to make sure your photos on the web are kept private.
agreed!
your mate isnt worthy of those raybans, its like a middle american attempt @ hipsterdom
What’s so fail about…*scrolls down*…oh……
I think theyre cute…and I love his jacket. Maybe hes not short…maybe shes freakishly tall. Either way…real love doesnt care! =D <3
Scrolling down… Yea, 2 dorky looking people….scrolling down more, OH WOW HES ON A STEP! Rofl.
Since my computer monitor is small I didn’t really notice anything. I slowly kept scrolling down wondering what was so fail and it was a suprise when i saw the stool-ish thing o-o
I actually had to do this for prom…
arguing on the internet is like the Special Olympics you may win but your still retarded
That’s so creative. I mean I never heard that before. You’re totally fresh and edgy.
Dating, now in 3D!
What, she fails because she’s not shallow like most girls, insisting on only dating the tallest guys they can find? For a guy as short as me to have a date at all much less a girl who’s actually taller than him, that’s an epic win for him.
..Is he rally short or is she just super tall…she looks super tall.
Step stool win.
The girl in the pic is 5’9 which is not freakishly tall. I am sorry if you cannot appreciate a tall woman. This picture is absolutely adorable and that girl looks absolutely stunning. All you haters can chill yo t’s because you are obvs jealous. She is comfortable with her height which is why she’s wearing heels and he is poking fun at himself for being shorter than her by using the stool. This should be a win because the stool is hilarious and he snagged a hottyay.
This is a fail, but the girl still lokks smokin hot.
I didn’t see anything wrong with the pictue until I kept scrolling down…
I spelled “picture” wrong. FAIL
This isn’t a height fail, it’s a scrolling win!
Epic kneetrembler win (kneetrembler=uk slang for sex standing up)
100 % fail
i know that girl… ahaha she goes to my school
Fail #1: Both pairs of sunglasses.
Fail #2: Her hideous dress.
Fail #3: His hideous jacket.
Fail #4: Both pairs of shoes. Yes, hers too.
Fail #5: Both of them being too emotionally stunted to be able to gracefully accept the fact that short guys CAN date tall gals.
ALTERNATELY:
WIN #1: Both of them are having fun with their height difference, getting a laugh out of it, and saying to the world, “I don’t give a f***.”
The dude is going on a date with a hot girl. How is that a fail?
lol i love the way you scroll down then see the stool.
Which fail, because there are many, poor fashion decisions may ultimately lead to other poor decisions later on in the night. This picture should also be on Poorly Dressed. Unless thosethis picture was taken circa 1991, those are definitely throwbacks that I would definitely have thrown back in the NOOOO WAAAY pile when my mom brought that to me. If my mother had picked that dress out for me, I may have even slapped her to bring her back into this decade.
photographer FAIL ……. it’s done in movies all the time
love – ….laying down they’re all the same height …. and them stupid glasses wont be there
Back in highschool there was this couple I knew. He was round about… 5’2, and she was about an inch short of 6′.

I think they realized this and they broke up after just a few weeks. A little off point, but worth mentioning I think when everyone says this guy is short.
lol. i couldnt tell what the fail was until i scrolled down
this ain’t fail? why does this have 5 thumps? i don’t get it this is, lammmeee.. (Scrolling down)… HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
Tom Cruise is so in love with Katie
At least all his people tell him so
And though he thinks that she’s a very special lady
It’s probably not the way he’d chose to go
Why is she wearing heels?
Tom Cruise, the early years…
What are you talking about? That’s a WIN!
At first look I didn’t get it, until I moved the mouse wheel down one more click and saw the stool. LOL.
Aaawww leave him alone
As a fairly tall girl who has dated guys shorter than myself, I can tell you a few things:
1. Sure, she could wear flats and minimize the height difference, but it is fun to wear heels when getting dressed up. It is both easier to find a cute pair of heels to go with a dress than cute flats, and they make your legs look longer and sexier.

was it just me who scrolled down to his feet and didnt see the chair but then skrolled a bit more and laughed
Yes, you were the only one. {rolls eyes}
People, please….! Height don’t matter if you’re horizontal
Best post on this thread so far! Congratulations!!!
Is that Gilbert Godfrey?
Very 1985-ish.
I love it!
Everything looked fine to me…until I scrolled down.
Size (height) does matters…………. ha! ha! ha!
A DATE FAIL: after the guy pays for our scrumptious dinner at a resto, which wasn’t that expensive to begin with, he says that he doesn’t have money to pay for the parking ticket. LOSER.

CAN”T THESE GUYS BE PREPARED WHEN GOING OUT ON A DATE? LOSERS!
Actually i was more thinking more fail her sunglasses… And so what if he’s shorter than her… My husband is shorter than me
…
This is epic!
