Hoodies

I had to post this here. I have noticed over the years that hoodies, unless slim fit, always fit me different then in the picture or online. I got one recently that I thought would be good and even though it is a medium, it is so long and even the sleeves are long on me too. Anyone have issues with hoodies?

Is feminism making heightism worse?

Me and a few friends were talking about this and I know the height crap has been around for sometime but it seems to have gotten a lot worse since the big feminism movement. Maybe it is just be but I feel like these types of women are so power hungry that they view men as objects and most want one that not only good looking and tall, but makes good money. They claim to be about empowering women but they preach on other women being free and careless with their bodies, "having sex like men" as they say, and being in power in every relationship they are in.

How did you meet you SO?

If you are in a relationship, married, what have you... How did you meet your SO? Through a dating site? Online? Through friends?

What point did you accept yourself?

My boyfriend still struggles with his height issues. It used to bother me as well but being a short female isn't considered bad among large numbers of men. I was fine with it when I was 16 or so and knew I wasn't going to grow anymore.

My bf troubles

I am not sure if this one will go over well but I needed to vent...

So as I have said on here before, my boyfriend is short, like me. He has self esteem issues and struggles to cope with his height even though he has me, his family, and his amazing friends who support him in all he does. We went to the mall yesterday and this guy approached me. He had to be around 6 ft tall. He was asking for help with a gift for his sister. My bf was across the store when he noticed this happening. He walked over and said hi to the guy, he said hi back and told him he was asking for help from me for a gift for his sister. Blah blah conversation ends and my bf suddenly isn't feeling good so we buy our things and leave the mall. On the ride home he didn't look at me and barely talked. Soon as we got home, I asked him the dreaded "whats wrong?" question and he flipped out on me over the tall guy in the mall. Saying things like I would rather date a taller man, the way i was smiling at him, i thought he was attractive, ect ect. Is this a trust issue or a height issue?? I hate when he gets like this. I was so pissed at him for assuming this crap last night that I left. I texted him when I woke up (we live in different spaces but sleep over each other's places) and he hasnt answered me yet.

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.
