I was browsing an article about fat shaming and someone linked this gem: https://twitter.com/dailyheightism
It's a twitter page about "Documenting the most socially acceptable and least seriously taken form of discrimination"
I read some re-tweets below and my blood just started to boil a little. Are these women for real? Some of them even proclaim "all short men (i guess below 5.11") should die. Are you fucking kidding me? I know some of these could be trolling but seriously?
I realize the existance of the "height shit test" and I know it's passable. There are also two pictures below the Twitter profile of some girl proclaiming she would like to have Dave Franco perform a medical exam on her and the other picture showing his height 1.70cm (about 5.6-5.7") so I guess the Brad Pitt rule applies here.
My last ex also had this height complex when we went on our first date (I'm around 5.8" and she's a solid 5.7") but I disregarded her comments and just laughed it off and we ended up dating for 2 years. She never got rid of the complex though and constantly reminded me of this but I didn't give a fuck, I just made fun of her and used A&A.
The funny thing was her aunt and her husband. He is way shorther, like a whole head, maybe more. I asked my gf to elaborate on this fact and she said this: "Yeah, he's shorter but he can step on his fat wallet and match her height so there is no problem." I literally could not believe my ears and didn't have a response I just looked at her and walked the fuck away. I can't stand this hypocrisy.
I know there are attraction preferences and are non-negotiable so I don't chase women who are taller than me (if she gives some IOI I usually follow up) and I seriously gave up giving a fuck about my height in highschool because it's a factor I can't really change. Some girls even said that shorter guys are usually more confident (because that's bad right?) and should drop back down to earth and fuck off because they have nothing to be confident about.
There were also some comments about this discrimination: Someone proclaimed it's basically only happening in the USA (I'm from EU) but I'm not so sure about that. All these shallow land whales who do nothing all day except sit on their ass browsing their iPhones, instagramming and watching series can actually get away with this shit and call it "preference" but when I tell some girl I don't date/have sex with fat chicks I can get reported and prosecuted?
I had a conversation about this with my dad's girlfriend. In her last marriage (husband died, so there was no divorce rape. I got that shit checked out before I gave my father the blessing when she wanted to move in with us) she gained some weight and in a rage her ex husband called her a "fat cow". She became depressed and gained even more weight (she's back to normal now) and she told me how serious this fat shaming is - it can cause psychological trauma etc...
But then I said this: "Ok, I get it, nobody wants to be shamed about their appearance - may it be fat, skinny, physically disabled and whatnot - but what about when girls actually shame and laugh about a great guy who happens to be short and even do it publically?"
She remained speechless and went on about shallow girls and preference.
What are your experiences about this matter?
I'm in seriously raging hard right now because I don't even know if females are worth my time, money and nerves anymore.
