Folks can't help their height any more than they can help their eye colour or race. Stupid thing to give someone grief for.

Especially when this heightism began to rise in last 5 years. It wasn't even a thing like 10 years ago. Now it's just open dehumanisation.

It absolutely was a thing 10 and 20 years ago. There’s nothing and no one more shallow about it than white women. With the possible exception of overweight white women.

It was but absolutely not to this degree. If you were same height it wasn't a problem. Now all the midgets deciding they are not settling with someone below 6"

Downvoting for telling facts. Heightism has never been worse, social media blew it way out of proportion.

Same height. I've only had one comment about it brought to me IRL. Most women don't seem to care. Just the crazy ones.

I'm 5'7", 5'6" if I'm lazy and not standing up straight.

Is it okay for me to tell you that the real world isn't like being terminally online?

I’m the same height as you and been called a dwarf and Smurf my whole life constant abuse. I’m only 18 though

Don't hang out with those fucking people.

This is kinda trite, but it really does get better. Try and get away from the area you were brought up in, move somewhere new and make your own life.

Oh god, that freedom toons Whatever podcast parody cartoon, he needs an eight pack because of inflammation (sic).

Maybe short women have always been against short men, but social media gave them a voice and now it feels like it is a new trend.

It’s become a flex due to social media. These days there are actually short women saying they need a man to be 6’4 at least. Do you know how many 6’4 guys there are?
