HEIGHT Discrimination (re-posting properly for discussion)

[ohiostate124]

You can consider people unattractive to you personally for any reason. Just don't attack them for things they can't change/have no control over.

You know what's complete bullshit?

The fact that if I don't grab something off the top shelf for you, I'm an asshole.

Yet if I ask you to pick something up off the ground for me, I'm still the asshole.

[Concerned Gnome]

So, this so-called "discrimination" is basically just chics explaining that they don't like short men? News flash: Everyone has specific things they're attracted to. If someone's not into you because of some aspect of your appearance, too bad. No one has an obligation to be with someone they're not attracted to and, in fact, there's no logic reason to do so.

"Shallow" is a word people use as a defense for rejection.

Did you read 30+ of those tweets? How about the unwarranted face-to-face reply I got. I hardly expect or demand attraction from anyone and I'm respectful all the way, even more so after a respectful rejection. But you condone that kind of of behavior/labeling showed in those tweets?

Hmm, but that's almost the average height.

That is nowhere near the avg height for a white American male, which is approximately 5 foot 10 inches.

[Putin-Chan]

Men can pretty damn hostile to women as well. We see it all the time in both sexes. It shouldn't be happening, but I doubt it will stop anytime soon.

Don't like a guy cause he's short? That's fine, but don't attack them and spread hate.

I agree, there's no reason to be hostile to anyone because you are not attracted to them, outside of legitimate repeated harassment.

How in the hell is not being attracted to someone "discrimination"? If you're actively mistreating them, fine. But just not being attracted to someone is discrimination now?

[Rooflesstoofless]

I see short guys with smokin' hot chicks all the time. I think there is something other than just height holding you back.

If you read those tweets then you would know what they said, "cute wasted on short man" is the most common. Replace short with any other discrimination type word and you see how mean and nasty those tweets are.

It definitely flirts and walks the fine line near discrimination, just because its not PC or widely talked about it still comes from the same place of not liking someone based on their looks which in turn effects how you act towards them.

Certain women only like beefcake men with muscles. Certain women like short guys as long as they have looks on their side.

These comments are nothing. You could create the same collection for fat or skinny men. I'm not tall but would consider myself rather short at 5'8'' but still have had more women than most taller guys I know. Certainly, being just tall doesn't help you. This is not a real problem.

[Pachycrocuta]

I already knew the hate towards short men, which I think is definitely unwarranted, as you can't change your height. But say something about a woman's weight being too much and holy fuck are you called a massive asshole and other such things. You can't change your height, but you can change your weight.

There's a difference from not being attracted to someone and being hostile to them because of that.

Men will try again and again if you don't act hostile towards them.

The squeakiest wheel gets the most attention.

Idk, is it possible the aggressive nature of their dislike stems from running into dudes with Napoleon complex? Purely anecdotal, but every super-douche I've run into in business has been some vertically challenged dude in middle management with a chip on his shoulder.

[shadowdasher]

For the short time when I used tinder, there were a lot of height elitist women. If you were under 5'10" they would not talk to you.

I had a buddy that was a good looking guy, but he was 5'8". Every time he matched with a chick the first think they would ask is "how tall are you". He'd shoot back at them with his height and that would be the end of it.

[SmokesTooMuch]

I dont like big gals, but i also dont tweet things like "Fatties need not apply, please kys" like these chicks are saying/doing.

HUGE difference in having a preference and just being a cunt.

You can reach the ground, I cannot reach the top shelf. Nor is it necessarily any easier for me to bend over to reach the ground that it is for you to do so.

[brimdog]

most people suck; half the world is dumber than the average person
you dont want to fuck up your DNA with the worlds' trash*...unless youre just in it for the sex, in that case go join em'.

*shitty attitude towards short people=trash imho.

[Mormolyce]

Not to interrupt the pity party, but a lot of women don't find short men attractive the same way a lot of men don't find fat women attractive.

Maybe you'd feel better if short guys and fat girls were forcibly paired up? Everyone wins right?

[igualitarist]

I bet most of those chicks are fat or have small breasts and/or asses...

So, this means i am doomed to date fat girls ?? No way, i prefer to spend my life having fun with my hands

Also, in this case, what if the fat girl lose weight ? The guy can't get taller to keep up with her.
So, theres no win win situation there.

A lot of women don't find fat men attractive either.

The point of the thread is hostility received for something that cannot change.
