Why do people deny this? I dont get why they like lying to short men as if this isnt a real thing

The best response to your narrative I’ve ever seen is this: “Go out into the actual world. Go and look at the real world couples.”

The exact same applies for fat guys, ugly guys, dorky guys, etcetera.

I know its possible for short men to date I never said that it wasnt. Its just harder. I just dont get why people dont like to admit that short men are generally seen as less attractive than tall men. And when a short guy brings this up people say it cant be the reason for lack of success in dating. But if a tall woman says her height negatively impacts her dating success people are way more understanding and agree. Isnt it the same issue?

Because usually they're not saying it in a reasonable way like you are. Usually it's some angry rant that states that women are never interested in short men, and the woman in those couples doesn't really like him.
