post #1

I am curious about this because I always thought it was the worst in school and it got better but so many have dating problems.

It is bad in middle school, then gets better half way through high school... then it is bad from like 21 to 30. LOL I know that sounds bad but I think most men past 30 either get over it or have enough going for them that people don't judge them on their height.

I'm 38 and it's never gone away or gotten much better. If anything, I feel like it gets worse after high school. The best I can say is I'm slightly more numb to it.

I find that it depends on where I am and what I am doing. When you suround yourself around the right people, and have family support, it isn't as bad after shcool.

In my experience with guys, it depends on where you live. I think most shorter guys in city areas have it harder than aywhere else because city dwelling women all want that "tall dark and handsome" man.

It isn't worse but it doesn't get easier. I mean dating and jobs factor in. In school, these two things aren't important but when you are in your 20's you are dating to commit, working at jobs you want to grow in, ect ect.

If you can handle being picked on in school, then everything after is easier BUT this also depends on how bad your dating life is/goes.

Heightism in political cartoons.

Note how Mayor Johnson and the Hispanic immigrant in the cartoon are portrayed as much shorter (no coincidence that the mayor's facial features are hyper-exaggerated either). 

Heightism is inescapable in the greater society, but these social commentators purposefully use these tactics to convey a specific message.
