Many of the participants were pretty open. I believe the ones who said they were currently dating a short king. The others I believe just told the hosts what they wanted to hear.

Rogan claims 5'8, but most internet souces (people who met him in real life or analyzed other height comparison photos) claim he's  5'7.

Mr. Beast is a pretty stand up guy so I know he didn't mean any wrong, but no matter what Kevin Hart does, it wil always come back to that. 

Shorter guys routinely get called out for having alleged "little man syndrome" and for having fragile egos for either "feeling intimidated" by or refusing to be open to dating women significantly taller. First off, the number of women who are willing to do this at any height is is infinitesimal. We're talking about a super tiny minority. But even for those who are open, again, men are called out for their supposed insecurities around this. I personally am okay with dating taller women. 

Now what about the opposite. All of these women who refuse to date shorter guys, or have said things like, "what am I going to do with him", "I'd squish him", or "I just can't see myself dating a shorter guy"; why aren't they called out for their toxic femininity? Isn't that also an insecurity? Or is it different because you know, insecurity only matters in men?

Sharing this because it shows a commonality in the dating market, having a trait that makes you undesirable to many even though if they are attracted to your looks and or character.

The guy on this show, "Pop The Balloon Or Find Love" was as interested in the woman as she was him, that is until he found out she had five kids. You can see the disappointment on her face when she said, "I knew it". She was reluctant to let him know she had five kids because she knew it would run her off.

Almost like when women ask you that dreaded, "How tall are you" question online after a really good conversation. You know what's coming next.

I cannot say that Reddit didn't deliver. As horrid as some of the responses are, they pulled no punches and gave him everything straight no chaser.

I do notice that the men responding are more realistic, while the women are virtue signaling. Also, what's great is the men who concern-troll are called out and humbled.

Apparently, Cosmopolitan Magazine ran these covers right after the pandemic (2021).

This is part of their push to change the narrative of what's attractive. At least, that's how I take it.

Any chance they will "push the boundaries" and influence their readers to love "short kings"?

I'm being sarcastic, but I couldn't help but look at these covers and laugh.

You can find an article from the Independent where they cover a defense of the cover by Cosmopolitan here. 

"Dozens of Indian farm labourers have been freed from slave-like working conditions in northern Italy, police have said.

The 33 workers were lured to Italy on the promise of jobs and a better future by two fellow Indian nationals, police say.

But instead, they were allegedly forced to work more than 10 hours a day, seven days a week for a tiny wage which was used to pay off debts to the alleged gangmasters."

Wild stuff. Hoping those gang-masters get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and do some serious jail time.

When people talk about slave-labor, they typically point the finger at African nations or parts of South-East Asia, but it's still happening in plain sight in the West.
