To me this is like a first. You never see anyone acknowledge that height-shaming is a "thing" here in the states.

Pretty sure this wouldn't be a big deal to her if she was the one ghosting.

Go figure...

Hefty woman refuses to settle for her looks match. Host puts her in her place.

She's single because she won't "lower her standards".

Go figure...

5'9 woman tells 6'1 man she is taller than him. Even the host is baffled.

This is really how many think. I've seen some tell guys they were "taller than them" even though they were clearly several inches shorter with heels on.

She's upset she was ghosted for something she can't control

Must be horrible to be ghosted.

Go figure...

Talk show host uses short king topic to show off tall ex and co-worker

In another episode of "it just so happens", talk-show host Sherri Shepard discusses the positives of dating shorter men just to talk about her tall ex-husband (for the reason that she claims she will never date short men again) and to show-off to her viewers how her size compares to her head of security.

You can't make stuff like this up.
