Ever meet a tall guy who was cocky just because of his height?
I always hear people going on and on about this "napoleon complex" thing, but in my own personal life, it's almost always been the opposite. Whenever I am the shortest in the room in a social or professional setting, there is always one taller guy who "peacocks" and acts like they're tough stuff. Many times it's them showing off in front of a woman and others its with snarky comments, but the showing off and comments are usually comparative. The showing off could be passing something over my head, placing something in a really high place, or just flat-out disrespect, but to make themselves look good. No one ever calls them out on it and I'm convinced it is height related. |

How many of you stand up to height shaming?
I'm not talking about your typical short jokes, but rather the blatant disrespect mean-spritied "jokes" or off-the-cuff comments directed at you to belittle you or convey inferiority relative to everyone else. These are the type of comments that someone would make and then play it off as "a joke". I've read on other forums (reddit for one) where they advise you to "embrace" the humor and "accept that you are short". I think this is misinformed. By self deprecating you invite more ridicule. I usually will tell someone straight up that I don't find jokes like that humorous, it's like bullying or body shaming which aren't welcome in professional settings. I will give them a serious look too. Especially in the work place, once you give off the idea that this type of behavior is acceptable, it will happen again and again and again. |

Miley Cyrus making "heightism" a little more acceptable among females
not that they needed any more influence, but she recently bragged about her boyfriend being above 5 foot 9 among other traits, no doubt females see this and they think, "god, I can not settle for a guy under 5 foot 9 if that is what it takes to have a real man!" of course I am sure Miley and those who are like her are the first to call for a males head if they make any disparaging comment about a female and her appearence, but of course short guys, and also guys who do not have a good "dick game" are fair people to demonize in the feminist culture today https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1074832369071345670

My female boss...
So I have a female boss and she is about 5'10. She is 5 inches taller than me. Anyways, I wanted to see all your takes on this. I seem to feel like she treats me like a "puppy" in a sense. She always asks bigger guys around the place to move bigger boxes or go up high to unload things. When I offer to do something, she tells me not to worry about it and always asked this other man I work with, lets call him Bob. Bob is 6'1 and in really good shape. He is a few years younger than me but like 15 years younger than her but I swear she has a thing for him. I work for a delivery service by the way, so height isn't a factor. Is she doing this because she thinks I am weak? |

Why do I get told this...
Quote: Originally posted by Bonez Just like taller thin women, attractive or not, get told she should have been a model. or real tall men get told they should have been in the NBA.
Best statement that could have followed. People just make judgment on appearence not intellegence or skill. |
