Does anyone know where the shorter man is welcomed?
After looking at heightism on Wikipedia, it is shown that there are some places that regulate height discrimination; however, are there any other places for which the shorter man can migrate to? Is there any place in the world where height is not looked at in terms of careers and women? I'm curious, what are your thoughts on some parts of Europe? or Japan? |

Thoughts on MGTOW?
Please express your thoughts on MGTOW. A lot of women nowadays judge men based on an unfair criteria. Why should there be investment towards them? |

Short Men, Overweight Women Face Lower Pay
of course, as everyone knows, unlike height someone's weight is for the most part under one's control via diet and exercise. i find one of the comments to the article also very interesting: " Even though I am over 60 and therefore short of options, I will not date a man under 5'10". And this must be the reason. Taken as a group, I just don't gell with them. They sort of overcompensate in other not very nice ways. I couldn't put my finger on it -- but maybe now I get it. Also, other parts of them tend to be smaller. Sorry but true, and size does matter. Agreed genetics and racial characteristics (i.e. Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian) play a role, but I often wonder if the diet and nutrition of the parents plays a part. That would also affect intelligence and other attributes." http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/03/10/short-men-overweight-women-face-lower-pay/?_r=0 |

how can a short man feel confident about a woman's love towards him?
Hi guys. I have seen everywhere how women have a strong preference for tall men.. I have seen this in my family, on the internet, on the movies, etc... Now, "unfortunately" (from women's viewpoint) there aren't enough tall men in this world.. as a result many women will end up marrying a "short" man. and I quote the word "short" because I don't understand how can a woman call "short" a man who is 2 or 3 inches taller than her.. I mean a woman who is 5'4'' tall is likely to call short a man who is 5'7''... but how can she call him 'short" if he is 3 inches taller than her? either way... my question is... how can a short man ever feel confident about his wife's love towards him? how can he be sure that she didn't "settle down" with him because she was unable to find a tall man?

rich, young, attractive 5'9" man too short to find dates
a comment from the below article about dating: "Side note: I have a personal connection to this issue. My nephew (28) lives in NYC, he’s good looking (yes, he is), in excellent shape, has a PhD in Comp Sci and banks 270K+/yr. He would totally relate to this article because it’s utter hell for him to sustain (much less even get) the attention of girls his age. So, what’s his problem? He’s “only” 5-9. An extenuating problem is his limited dating experience, having been committed to education up until three or so years ago, but he’s fixing that. Every time we discuss this subject, he reminds me how the girls flat out tell him them they want someone taller. He even tries to make light of it by saying he’s a solid member of the “invisibles” club but I can see it hurts him deeply." http://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/understanding-men/40-year-old-men-want-to-get-married-too-on-not-being-the-old-guy-in-the-club/

Maybe Feminist Thought Could Aid Us.
Please note: I am actually not a male-feminist. I am just an observer. I try to be unbiased as possible. I found this video interesting. Let me know what you think about it along with feminist thought. |

I found this interesting...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiHFfkN6fE4 This video explains some reason why taller men make fun of shorter men. It can be insecurity or possibly envy. That is what the video addresses. NOTE: This does not mean ALL taller men do this. In fact, it can happen both ways because shorter men can do this as well. Let me know what you think. |

Hi. Forum just got better.
Shorter than average guy here (for my ethnic background). Don't like to say short. Coming up on the big 4 0 pretty quick. 5'7.5 tall. 175 lbs. lean muscle. People guess 185-190 though. Happy to still have good hair. lol Former highrise construction worker in Chicago, Ex-Army Sergeant, highly decorated multiple tour Iraq Campaign veteran, and in general bad Mutha... I see big guys at the gym who can't bench their own bodyweight and I'm thinking, I weigh 80 lbs less than you and I can bench YOUR bodyweight. I can walk into a room filled with people and know that very few if any men there have done the kinds of stereotypically "manly" things I've done. Yet, I still have these nagging insecurities about my height. I suppose forums like this can be good or bad, depending on what you make of them. Mostly just gonna put my 2 cents in. |

Is heightism worse than racism when it comes to dating?
White men tend to have it the easiest in the dating world when it comes to dating for various reasons. If you take the average Asian male, however, they tend to be below 5'7. Do women swear off Asian men all together because of this? I know some white, black, ect men in America who only date Asian women but I never heard of the same deal the other way around. |

Why Daniel Radcliffe should be the next Wolverine!
Let's face it. The real comic book Wolverine is 5'3, not 6' like Hugh Jackman. This is not to say the Jackman didn't play a great wolverine, but Daniel would fit the part better. He (now) has the body for it and even the looks! This could be another breakout role which could keep him relevant and a heartthrob for years to come. It would also be a "short guy victory" putting him in a more masuline role than the dorky romantic comedies he's been in since Harry Potter. Here is a pic of him now: Before you guys mock him, take a look at Hugh Jackman before he became Wolverine Here is Wolverine from his comic books. Notice how he is shorter than the woman in this pic Came across this idea by browsing r/short and it's pretty accurate. What do you say? Never mind that I'm the real Wolverine's height in real life |

I got asked about my age?
I am not sure if this has ever happened to you. I am not young, but I guess I can pass for being around 22. I was in a store picking up some beers and the woman, who I am guessing was around my age, kept insisting I wasn't the legal age and I couldn't be older than her. I gave her my ID and she still didn't believe it. She just kept being all giggly. I felt embarrassed because there were people in line behind me. What the heck was she doing? |

Does it hurt more to be just below the norm, or way below it?
I was reading something and found it interesting. It said that a man who is 5'4 is more likely to accept his height than a man who is 5'8 because the shorter man is further away from the most acceptable height. So in other words, a man who is close to being a desired height of 6', just being short of it, is harder to take then being far away from it. Thoughts? |
