Today, I asked a short girl to prom by making a "You must be this tall to say no" sign. She grabbed a chair, stood on it, and then said no. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I asked a girl to prom by having 5 friends hold up signs saying "P-R-O-M-?" while I snuck up behind her. She said yes... to my friend holding the "?", who she thought was the one asking her. FML
Today, I had an elaborate plan to ask this girl to Prom, and it was going to take a few minutes to set up. I asked my friend to distract her. He decided to distract her by asking her to Prom. She said "Yes". FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to prom. Instead of saying yes, she broke up with me. FML
Today, after telling a friend I was contemplating asking a girl to prom, my friend took my phone, told me to have some balls, and texted the girl asking her to prom. She said no, because I asked her over text instead of in person. She refuses to believe I didn't send the text. FML
Today, I was asked to prom by the same guy who "accidentally" cut off a chunk of my hair in class and with whom I haven't had a conversation in my life. When I politely declined he said, "You'll regret this". FML
Today, I proposed. She immediately said no and then broke up with me. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl of my dreams. She asked me who I was, and maced me. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about who I wanted to ask to prom. I told her the names of the girls I was thinking of asking and she replied, "They'll say no, but you can always go with one of your cousins." FML
Today, I rejected my crush's prom proposal because I didn't think he was being serious and wanted to prank me or something. Turns out he was serious but now he's going with another girl. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML

Dude, it's called "negging", or attacking their self-esteem in order to get them to attempt to impress you to gain your approval. Shitty tactic, but it's surprisingly effective.

Negging is underhanded insulting, not outright like OP. It's a backhanded compliment. Like, "with that wit, it's a good thing you're pretty." It's a stupid, underhanded tactic that sad loser use in order to feel powerful. It rarely works, contrary to what these guys would have you believe. Guys, don't neg. It's just better for everyone.

Sounds like you kinda deserved it. That was a dick move op. Ask her out by insulting her.

It's a joke I guess people are to sensitive to know that

You do realize that calling something a joke doesn't automatically mean people are wrong for being offended, right? Because, believe it or not... some jokes are just in bad taste. And people who make bad taste jokes and defend them by saying "it's just a joke, you need to get a sense of humor" deserve all the scorn they get... and need to find an actual sense of humor, too.

As someone else said, OP made fun of her height for the joke, as well as not giving her the right or choice to say no, so it was a very poor joke and he deserved the response he got.

As a short girl I would have done the same. That's not cute or funny or original

I'm short (4'10) and I find it mildly humorous but I don't really blame her for being somewhat offended, especially if she didn't know you well enough for you to make said joke beforehand.

Really dude...how could you possibly think that'd be a good idea? Too short to say no? Wth. YDI

Consent exists regardless. No one is obligated to go with you. That's why you ask...

That sounds pushy if you ask me.
