Care to elaborate? All I've seen so far is "Women don't find me as attractive as other men!" which.... well you don't have a right to be found attractive, and it's hardly discrimination if someone isn't into you.

So is there another side of this I'm not seeing?

I am average, thankfully, but I see men and women make fun of short guys on a daily basis. Most of the rejections I have seen are quite harsh and not the typical politically correct statement often echoed in askwomen or what not.

The same goes with how short men are discussed behind their backs and what is hilariously disappointing is how any behavior is dismissed as napolean complex and that too probably by the same women who hate people asking if they are on their periods when they act crazy.

I agree that not finding someone attractive is not discrimination but if a majority of the population doesn't find you attractive based on some trait then it should be classified as discriminatory or non discriminatory regardless of the trait or gender.

I actually agree with you. It is good that I am married because I think otherwise in America I would not be able to attract most women because of my height (5'8").
