Anyone been on Tumblr?
I am going to quote some stuff I seen on body shaming. They are mostly posted by short men or men who are sick of short jokes. This goes to show there are people out there who want it to end on social networks. "I see a lot of posts against body shaming but I never see anything about height shaming. What about little people who are body shamed for their height? That hurts just as much plus they can’t even change it. And I would say it even counts as opression." "If women can use height as a determining factor for relationships then men can use weight." "I’m okay with shaming someone because they’re a bad person, but I’ll never be okay with shaming someone’s looks. I don’t care if they killed forty people, don’t you dare mock their face, weight, height or race." |

height vs. color
If a woman rejects a guy for being black because she didn't want her kids to face racism it would cause outrage. It's interesting how a woman can reject a guy for being short and be labeled as 'understandable' while the rejecting for the former would be headlining newspapers out of dismay. |

Jesse Eisenberg
Did you all know he is only 5'7? This dude has been blowing up in movies lately and I am pretty sure he has dated nothing but beautiful women who are above the average female height of 5'4. |

Hypocrites......
Why is everyone so pissed about these images? I've seen the "short guy" ones floating all over the internet and people laughing wherever its posted. This is "mean" all of a sudden. I hate the hypocrisy and double standard... |

How hard is it for you to pack on muscle?
I have been having issues with this lately. I am not sure if it is because I am older or what. I spend 2 hours in the gym 3 days a week. I been at it for 6 weeks now and have noticed no new growth. I believe I lost some weight but I don't see my arms or anything getting bigger. |

My younger brother's new girlfriend...
So my younger brother, who is 19, started dated a girl who is 17. I got to meet her the other day and she asked if I was HIS younger brother because I am "still" short. Looking at my height, I am not super short or anything. She thought I was 14!!! He is about 6'2. My brother's reply was a laugh. I was so pissed off by it. |

My brother went on a date and you will not believe this
My brother is about 5'10. I don't know how I ended up so short lol anyways, his friend set him up with his girlfriend's cousin. I guess they had a great time but she said something that I had to share. "I have to be honest. Because I am so short, your height is a bit too tall for me." She is my height. Says she prefers 5'5 to 5'9. |

Gay short men vs Straight short men
Who has a harder time in the dating world? I am starting to believe that much like straight tall men wanting shorter women, there are plenty of gay tall men who want shorter men. Thoughts? |

It's always been rough being a short guy
If you think heightism is a recent phenomena, so some current "social justice movement", or just became a "thing" recently, then you're sadly mistaken. As we try to bring attention to it now and people are more vocal than ever about it, it's as old as time and something that every generation of short fellas have to deal with. Take a look at some of these little ditties from the past: People Magazine article from 1980 Time Magazine article from 1971 Jeffersons Season 6 Episode 2 - A Short Story Don't kid yourselves, heightism has been around forever. |

NaturalHeightGrowth is such a scam I swear
I used to visit that site at least four times a week. The owner of that site, there might be two of them "research" ways on how to get taller. They go around and regurgitate all of this garbage about all of these "scientists" who are studying "growth plate regeneration" and all of these supposed "breakthroughs" on chemicals and procedures coming out to make people taller. NEWSFLASH, it will NEVER HAPPEN. There is no way nor will there every be a way to get taller after you pass puberty and no one cares enough to fund some crapola like that. The site has years worth of articles and not a single one that irrefutably gets people to grow taller. All they have are a bunch of scammy products with amazon links to make the site owners richer while playing on men's insecurities. It's a damn hoax. If you're over 30 then chances are you spent your 20s researching that "one thing that nobody knows about" or that "secret method that some rogue doctor has" to help you get that growth spurt you never got. Well, that's how they make money, but playing on those people. TL:DR the only way to get taller is elevator shoes or some risky $100,000 that will break your legs and render you never to play sports again. Natural height growth is nothing but trash. |

When did your height first bother you?
I was thinking about it and I think mine started bugging me in 5th grade when I noticed girls who were taller than me and still considered "short". I basically peeked in 7th grade and never got any taller. |

Kevin Hart on "height"
"I don't believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like," Hart says in the above video. "This is it. This is what I was given. This is my playing cards. If we were playing poker, I've got to make this hand work. This is it for me. And this is what I'm going to ride out. So how do you not embrace it? You get one life. One. You get one life. I'm going to embrace mine." http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2014/03/27/kevin-hart-short-oprah_n_5037845.html?ir=Australia It is a bit old but I love how he is just true to himself. |

Petition to take down DirecTV's body shaming commercial
You all read my thread on the DirecTV petite randy moss and thankfully sgc did an article on it. Our fellow short men on r/short created a petition on Change.org and we need you all to sign it! This is a pivotal moment to let advertisers know that height shaming is no different than the fat shaming that they stay away from in advertising in the modern era. We need 100 signatures. At this point, there are only 24. Here is the link: Stop DirecTV's Offensive "Petite Randy Moss" ad. |
