Kind of sucks. You can tell a taller person wrote the article. Shorter women may not be able to model, but by no means do people think that short women are NOT sexy. Look how the men go bonkers for teeny tiny Rosie Perez over these other supermodels.

I hear of taller women being shut out more often than short women. Men like to feel large which is why most date at least 4 inches below their height and since the average male height is 5'9 in America, the average desired female height is 5'5.

I am sick of hearing the "short people live longer" crap. I know plenty of taller men and women who are healthy and happy in their 70's, 80's and dare I even say 90's!!!? Come on, this comes down to health. Taller people tend to be more involved in drug use, drinking, and other social activities that groups of "good looking" people do.

She hates short men, but if you're a tall man, you can have body odor.

This is one of those things that I've always noticed, but everyone would deny. 

I know people give grace to those they find attractive, but you'd think odor would be a non-negotiable for most.

They're not mad you lied about your height, but because you're short

Hidden gem on these forums, but worth viewing.

I always ask them if they would be mad if a guy "lied about his height",  if he turned out to be taller than he said.

Here's the proof straight from their mouths.

Short asian guy jesters in let me know when you're taller dating skit

They really sat down and thought about this skit together.

Cringe is an understatement.

When you're tall, she'll work hard to keep you.

Show me the average every day man who has his woman carrying his bags like this.

Not saying she ever should, but clearly Mr. 5'8 and below is not getting this treatment.

He says if you're short, you need to accept reality

And I don't disagree with him. The gym is the greatest equalizer for your health and mental acuity. With all else equal, it will get your foot in the door where the opposite would not.

No, it will not change heightism, but being in shape in better than not being in shape.
