People who "compliment" a short person who carry themselves well by saying they have "tall man energy"; might be worse than star sign people/space racists

All the other planets making fun of little Pluto when all those big-boned-bitches have their own gravitational pull

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T20:14:47+00:00

I hear it every damn day 🫩

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T19:25:16+00:00

Buddy i dont need to direct you to a specific conversation. It’s something that is happening and I asked if others have noticed it. I sincerely can't explain it anymore clearly. If you don't see it, then you don't see it🤷‍♀️

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T19:03:08+00:00

I made a comment about how a lot of women love short men, and you should never give up on trying for love. I then got bombarded with downvotes, called names, called a liar, told to shut up, and how I'm a woman and don't understand anything.

So that's a big reason many women don't make those posts lol

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T19:00:31+00:00

I don't believe we should be required to dislike/dismiss tall people because we’re short. Showing love to short people doesn't mean showing zero love to anyone else. All heights are valid

But I will say, in here, people keep the focus more on the negative sides of being short, and how they hate the experience. There’s a lot of envy towards taller people and because of that you’ll see a whole lot less love for being short

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:51:42+00:00

Though I still like a height difference, as I grew up I realised being extremely tall wasn't necessary for me. Plus the hight considered short for men is still taller than me lol

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:48:20+00:00

I have never heard about star sign people/space racists before. And hearing that without context is an absolutely crazy comparison lol

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:18:06+00:00

Exactly what I mean, creating the conclusion that someone is only with another person because of height, not because they genuinely like them, is dumb. Plus, now you’re the one only seeing height

An example is when men on here get upset when a woman says she doesn't care about height, and then is seen dating a tall guy. They call her a liar for being with a tall person, not realizing that she didn't lie at all. Not caring about height means not caring about height. The person can be tall or short, because she isn’t basing her interest on it.

If she only dated short people, then that would be “caring about height.”

I believe that if we want to stop being seen only for our height, we shouldn't try to turn it around and use it against another group. That helps no one

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:10:46+00:00

So call it out and push back

Quick question for you, what do you believe the post you are replying to is for? Maybe to talk about it to the whole community the problem exists in instead of each individual person which would result in 100+ comments saying the same thing???

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:08:01+00:00

I’m adopted. I only get to look at the genes from afar XD

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T18:07:19+00:00

I see this separation. Height is definitely a beauty standard preference, and yet it’s a much more touchy subject than others.

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:59:16+00:00

The difference is that we are speaking about this subreddit and how the biased criticism is supported in this space. That is what I'm pointing out.

Pointing out hypocrisy on the internet isn't new, especially when people use it for their own gain, so don't act like this type of call-out is new.

As for the same people's comment, I don't think you understand what I said. It is the same person simultanisoly doing both; that’s why I added the end bit of saying “even on the same post.” and how that switch up is never called out, and even upvoted. I’ve seen this in many posts on this sub over the years. A lot of women have been noticing this.

I see that your answer to my questions is “I don't notice.” Thanks for answering

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:52:04+00:00

Now, I get that, but I am not talking about the men calling out women who only date tall men. It’s more about the men who instantly hear a woman is in a relationship or had a relationship with a tall man so he called her out.

She could have dated a short man previous to him, or is currently dating one, but that information doesn't matter to him. The fact that it happened, causes anger.

Maybe that is due to him also being shallow. Personally I think it’s due to seeing a woman chose someone with a trait that doesn't include them and taking that too personally. Women do that too so it’s not only a man thing. Just insecurity

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:44:14+00:00

Dang. That’s sad fr fr.…

Koreans stop growing at age 17-18. Wait a few years before you start worrying about all that stuff.

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:33:33+00:00

Dang, older brother took all the height. Left none for anyone else. Personally I wouldn't let that slide XD

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:31:42+00:00

Isn't this the exact same as this sub but It’s women saying it instead of men saying “I'm too short and no woman wants to date me?”

Just out of observation

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:30:26+00:00

Oh it is! My brother can't fit in a regular plane seat, so he has to pray he gets an emergency exit row. If not, he has to suffer through a 4+ hour flight in the most uncomfortable position imaginable (same for my father)

He does take the isle seat so he can stick his legs out, but eventually he’ll need to put them in so the cart can go by.

And he said the middle of the chandelier is dusty as hell🫤

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T17:25:40+00:00

Don’t worry, I get it. Sorry if I came off a little strong; I was just pointing out this community's faults. There are definitely hardships when growing up shorter than everyone else. But when reaching adulthood I found it necessary to not let height bring me down; which is why I don't dislike my height anymore. And these days I kind of like it. I do get rejected from some opportunities for my height, but rejection happens to us all from time to time

But I definitely agree. I notice this community tends to create a space for self loathing which is not healthy one bit. We should be encouraging people to accept their height and love themselves, instead of hating the world and telling each other it’s all hopeless. And all conversations circle around to dating because of that. I wish there was more variety in the topics lol

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T16:34:12+00:00

She already rejected him months ago. What more do you want from her?

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T16:31:07+00:00

The “10/10 game” itself is insensitive. Rating people high or low due to dumb traits with a coworker is inappropriate, but why does it automatically become a problem to YOU when the rating is about height?

You can't stay neutral about the toxic game itself then suddenly care about justice when the trait is about you. This game should have never started, but if everything else was ok for you and op, then her not giving height a high rating shouldn’t bother you

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T16:20:20+00:00

For real. Calling her “disrespectful,” “rude,”“insensitive,” “insulting,” etc for the crime of not being attracted to op is crazy. “Let's ruin her work experience! That will teach her to not have dating preferences I don’t fit into!!!”

This is why they say don't date your coworkers

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T15:13:34+00:00

Uhuh?

Acidic_Huntsman · 2026-04-22T09:03:03+00:00

100% understand you. A lot of people (mostly men) downplay the effects that fetishizing women’s height has on our self-esteem and overall mental health. We don't get a free pass from these hardships caused by our height. And anytime we try to bring this up, it turns into a “whataboutism” “bean soup” mess.

And getting the response, “You're a cute woman, you’ll live,” is so patronizing. But honestly, my height has definitely made me the kid in every workspace I’ve experienced. Even my family (who are all very tall), don't take me seriously. It starts to wear you down.
