Black woman devistated by "Colorism" in online dating. Sound familiar?
Saw this on reddit and had to lol at this one. Most of the short man bashing I see on Twitter coincidentally comes from young black women. Read this article. A lot of whining about seeing "no weaves", "only into White, Asian, Hispanics" on men's dating profiles. She says she was devastated how one she noticed it online she noticed it anywhere. Anyone reading this reminded how many "don't message me if you're under 6'", "i need to wear heels", "short men are bitter" you come across on profiles? They don't feel sympathy for us lol, why should anyone for them? A preference is a preference right? The article is here: https://www.bustle.com/articles/37427-5-truths-about-colorism-that-ive-learned-as-a-black-woman-in-nyc |

Less than 5% of Americans are 6'2 or taller. 6' is NOT average.
This is from 2008, so it's not up to date current, but the point still stands. I don't know how people conflate 6' with average. On just about every website, people swear being under 6' isn't normal and makes you some kind of pariah. 60% of men are under 5'10 which means that average height is beneath that - 5'9 Source: https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2010/compendia/statab/130ed/tables/11s0205.pdf

Daily Mail reports Congress Shooter as 5'6, "rude" "lonely" & "creepy"
You literally can't make stuff like this up. What does his height have to do with anything? We have tens of mass shootings every year in the U.S. and if the man is average height or tall, they never bring his height up. If a guy is short all of a sudden all of his psychological issues are somehow related to his stature. |

comments on Caroline Wozniackis "upgrade"
I like these anonymous comments and the up and the down bars because that is really telling how people are feeling
check out all of the comments on the bottom of this page about how Caroline Wozniacki "upgrades" her guy over the "shrimp" "turnip""midget" "little troll" that she used to date it seem there is 1 group you are allowed to mock and defame and your comments are going to get posted and you are going to get alot of approval from the other posters and that is a short male

Being short has made me realize how lazy people are with themselves
When I hear women complain about how fat they are, guys complain about how broke they are, or people complaining about how big their nose is, about their mole, etc I want to cringe. These are all things that can be fixed with effort or a few thousand dollars and a few days to a few weeks off. Short of Limb Lengthening, which is $100K and requires a two year recovery, there is literally nothing a short man can do to "fix" his "situation". So knowing that the body image "problems" that people face are fixable within reach and that there is nothing that compares to being a short male in society today... you can be a morbidly obese woman or 4'9 and everyone will think it's just fine, but god forbid you are a man below 5'7..... |

Anyone here short and a minorty? (black, latino, asian, indian, etc)
Not trying to sound racist or anything, but thank god I am not white. As a Latino, people almost expect me to be short and I see less people in my racial category being made fun of, taken less seriously or bullied because of their height. In the media, movies, television, white men are always portrayed as being 6'3, chiseled with a square jaw and muscles. Latinos (and Asians also) are almost always short or shorter than that magical 6' mark. Here in NY, I see white and black guys my height getting the piss knocked out of them by women and men alike. Me? They leave me alone and let me stay on chill mode. Women rarely bash me for my height and usually embrace me. That does change for men who are like 5'3 and below, but being 5'4-5'6 as a Latino is no big deal. |

47 yr old woman single & desperate posts ad but no manlets please!
You can't make stuff like this up. Can't find a man at 47 but still insists that her man must be tall. I feel sorry for the tall guy who gets this one. Let 'em have her! |

Are incels generally shorter than average?
Was reading a post on reddit about "incels" (men who are involuntarily celibate) and how they are generally shorter than average. But by rummaging through most of that sub-reddit, many of those guys self-report as average height or tall. This leads me to believe that most of these self diagnosed incels aren't incels because of their height, but because they are under average in facial attractiveness, have weak physiques or can't socialize. What's your take on this? Any of you consider yourselves as "incels"? |

Why are we hated?
WHY are short men hated? I just don't understand it at all. What is the reasoning behind this? We have done nothing. |

Shortest guy is the first man eliminated on the Bachelorette TV Show
5'9" Jamey from Santa Monica, doesn't even make it past the first elimination round. This is supposedly the most diverse set of contestants ever on that TV show. Just about every race is represented. Guess which area isn't diverse on that show? |

Has being short made you understand white privilege?
As a short Asian man, it helped me to understand it better. Both share a common attribute. Those who are a part of the privileged group don't realize they have it and those who aren't a part of the group realize the price they pay for not being a part of that group/class. |

Weightlifting won't make me shorter right?
Will intense weightlifting make me look "shorter" because of the added bulk? I've heard girls say that short guys who lift weights are overcompensating and a friend of mine who is 5'5 lifts weight has bulk and people call him "bulldog". Which body type compliments us more? Short/Skinny or Short/Muscular? |

Why is evolution used to justify heightism but not racism and sexism?
Don't social scientists agree that racism evolved from the need to identify outsiders and protect the tribe and sexism to protect women as they were pregnant and while babies were young to keep the species going? So why is it when dating, I can't say that I don't find women of a certain race attractive and then say it's because of evolution or say that I prefer docile more traditional women? Wouldn't you say those are more important than height when choosing a partner? |
