Own yourself, short king, and people will be drawn to you like magic. It’s not confidence, it’s loving and accepting yourself. That’s all. Self-love creates a gravity for more love.
Anyone so shallow that they would judge you by your height is someone you don’t want be involved with. As soon as you get to know someone, their appearance ceases to matter and all that is left is the human being underneath. Consider those situations bullets dodged.
As a short dude myself I wish this were true. I’m confident and have accepted my fate. Yet even when I thought we were grooving and clearly compatible I’d still get hit with “sorry you’re not tall enough,” even when she was like 5’0. I don’t know how the hell I got lucky to get my wife, but she’s clearly the exception not the norm.
But we need to accept life is harder for short guys. If you just want to get laid, harder. If you want a promotion, harder. If you want to be treated nicer, harder.
All those things you said help and are good. But not not pretend hightism doesn’t exist.
‘There is a form of socially acceptable discrimination against a subset of people based around a fundamental intrinsic element of those people that they are totally incapable of changing.’
‘Chin up, be strong, don’t let the bastards get you down!’
Oh so … not a situation where we maybe need or could benefit from a serious society-wide discussion of this problem, the solution to this form of bigotry is uh… its a personal responsibility.
I understood it and agree with the societal premise underneath. However, you put words in my mouth that I did not say or imply. As someone who claims to also be autistic, I expected better from you. I would encourage you to read what I said again, and think about what I did say rather than an imaginary thing I did not say.
Oh I’m doing this thing called paraphrasing, to illustrate how what you’re saying sounds to people who are not you and may not think the same way as you do.
Had I intended to actually quote you, I would have used
actual quote formatting.
Do you agree or disagree that shaming of shorter men is a socially acceptable form of bigotry?
Can you see how you proposing an individualistic solution to that, where you likely would propose a social solution to other social problems… is something of a double standard?
(As an example, men openly shaming/insulting overweight women)
Finally: My paraphrasing of what you said is in fact accurate. You suggested that the solution to this problem is for men to just be confident in knowing that bigots are bad people.
If I talk about how great guacamole is, I am not talking shit about poutine, I am talking about how great guacamole is.
For now I will assume you are having a bad day and that is why you are attacking internet strangers over imaginary arguments. Whatever you are going through, I hope your day gets better.
For the shorties out there.

I don’t care about being short. The hypocrisy pisses me off. At least you can do something about being fat.

Cool. What life style changes should I make to get taller?
Well technically, you could have your legs shattered, and then stretched out, casted up.
You know, just a simple lifestyle change, nothing major, no chance that could horrendously backfire.
Like, uh, its looksmaxxing for your… legs… or something.
I mean yea.

Got it.
@sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com honey, I thought better of you than that. 🥺
Maybe you could think about what I say, then.

Cool, but that doesn’t stop the bigotry.
