Worse – it was _artificially_ smarmy. You could tell that he and the lady he picked were just being “nice” to each other. No chemistry, no sparks, none of that feeling of “this is a fairy tale come true” that we’ve all come to expect from _The Bachelor_ clones like this one. You just know the two of them are going to be spending most of their Mediterranean cruise on opposite sides of the ship, and that the winning lady is going to sell that 2-carat diamond ring on eBay as soon as she’s ashore.

Hey, just fill me in here: Did he choose an average-sized woman?

She was shorter than him.

And, apparently, she was shallower than him, too. (“Eskimo kiss!”?! What the hell?!)

I once saw a dwarf naked (oh, don’t ask), and his genitalia looked proportionate to his head and trunk. As others have said, with dwarfism, it’s the limbs that are foreshortened, not the whole body.
