if you want to know what they really think, look at the men they have dated in the past.

This 100%, or who they're dating now. How old they are matters very much in this aspect also.

I can agree with this. The evidence and studies are all very clear in 2024.

Re: Tomorrow you wake up at 6'5. What changes in your life?

I like my height. I don't have any issues with it. I like how easy it is to find clothes and smalls fit me perfectly in every mass merchandise establishment.

What I don't like is the stigma that sometimes comes with being my height, and I know it's worse for those shorter. I would also not like to be 6'5. If I had to be taller, then I'd choose 5'8 as that is when the short stigma disappears.

To answer the question though, if I magically became 6'5, everyone would believe that I am competent or an expert at something. When you're short, people always challenge you or think you're less competent when they first meet you.

Re: Short, Short Man-Frances DiLorinzo

I can deal with a short joke if it's legitimately funny, but these jokes came off as crass and made her seem really bitter about being a taller woman. Just my two cents.
