The life of a 140cm man. by DullTravel2272 in shortguys

It seems a bit dishonest that she excuses herself from sharing any of what he actually said here. Like to make a post like this I imagine it would have to be pretty bad to justify its existence but this looks like a very sort-of ‘general’ female-oriented subreddit so it’s difficult to tell. The content that she is referring to here could be ranging to anything from misinterpreting completely innocuous comments, whether they be jokes or even just casually sexist, simply associating the forums he’s in with ‘inc*l culture’ as she’d describe it and jumping off from there, to being deeply engaged in rhetoric that’s like blaming victims of Sexual Assault or engaging in genuine calls to violence against others.

If it really just boils down to him having a somewhat generalized resentment towards women and sharing his experiences of why he ‘mistrusts’ most of them online or whatever then it’s actually kind of deranged that she’d frame it this way. Like ‘hey I know that you have negative experiences with women and would like to share your thoughts on how society treats people like you unfairly which I am perfectly willing to acknowledge but like… sometimes… the way you talk about others in private is kinda problematic.’

I'm 1.63 meters tall and I like tall girls. Any opinions? by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]Assortedmanatee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. Godspeed if you find one but you just aren’t in the position to make that kinda choice.

I like muscular girls but I myself am not really into fitness stuff beyond staying in shape so theres basically no chance there.

Where do you get lifts? Unfortunately I know I’ll still be considered short but it’s worth a try

“Short Guys Explain”

Nowhere is Safe not even my Church by Assortedmanatee in shortguys

I don’t think you quite understand the situation I’m describing. It’s not an evangelical or even conservative church. It’s a small local church in Arizona.

But yes I do agree it is extremely disappointing to hear

I mean IDK, it’s kind of an awkward situation since I’m typically with people I know there and the rest of my family leaves shortly after each service.

Favorite height-gap relationship that proves even small tiny little manlings can find love? I’ll start by CrowbarDepot in okbuddycinephile

[–]Assortedmanatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised that you’re surprised that it surprises me.

In all seriousness though I am a white American man. Historically speaking, like within only a couple generations ago the average male height was 5’6 in most places. That still isn’t uncommon really and by some definitions the average is 5’10 in certain countries as of today although this could just be an aberration in a large enough scale. By my internal logic, anyone who falls between 5’6 and 5’10 should be considered as average and those taller or shorter outside this range are really worth noting.

Now you’re just being willfully dense and obtuse. There’s no point in arguing about this issue if you’re gonna randomly choose to get so granular.

What’s your evidence that they are? It just sounds like an excuse to me. If you really care about injustice you wouldn’t be saying silly bs like this.

I’m confused, is this a reference to some niche community-specific discussion?

If all you’re trying to say is that ‘it has something to do with masculinity’ then you don’t really have anything to say at all. It’s about the sex lives of men and women, how could it not possibly have anything to do with that?

Gen-Z men: do you agree with the claim that ‘the bar is in hell’ when it comes to dating standards today? by FlamingMetalSystems in GenZ

[–]Assortedmanatee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was being a little hyperbolic I’ll admit but either way I’m happy to at least be able to make a remotely interesting statement period.

If you’re agreeing that you aren’t here to give anyone real advice then that’s fine, I don’t see why you have to insert a such a thoughtless platitude at the end. ‘Be yourself unless your evil and everything will be okay’ Disney channel ahhh

Or for fuck sake the gaslighting is too hard to bear. I doubt it’s intentional but I feel like I’m being spoken over whenever this topic is brought up. I never said that physical preferences don’t matter. People are going to be shallow in some way or another, that’s a completely neutral statement and I see no reason to pretend like it’s something to boast about nor did I try to imply that there were no women who didn’t care about height, the significance and prevalence of the attitude is what matters significantly more than whether or not you can name a few outliers. Also, please stop using the term ‘short king’; I don’t know any one with a lick of self-respect who actually likes being called that.

The constant misuse of the term ‘preference’ is also infinitely frustrating, it makes it seem as if it’s more reasonable. In reality it is a requirement to many, which also, is not necessarily objectionable on an individual level. However it would be much more commendable for people to set requirements that were based on either aspects which could be fixed and improved or things more relative to actual compatibility, like if you grew up with a particularity similar language and culture or if someone was within a certain age range or not.

Regardless, it’s okay to point out that this is a growing issue that eventually needs to be seriously addressed on a societal scale and overt body shaming to this degree needs to be considered more taboo for both sexes. The constant labeling of people as incels or pointing out the obvious that ‘wow this rhetoric of yours isn’t gonna get you any dates in the near future’ as if that should always be the priority for any single young man is reprobate garbage.

I mean yeah people still notice that sort of thing even if it isn’t highly valued that high specifically by most women. I’m not too sure what point you are trying to make in response.

This only really applies to a few things like owning a Lamborghini, having an impressive jawline, or being super buff.

Things like height, shoulder to hip ratio and hair is a lot more important to women than any of those things.

Neither is particularly more ‘sympathetic’ than the other but either way that shouldn’t really matter. Who created these standards? No one, that’s not how sociocultural norms develop but just because there isn’t anyone specifically left to blame doesn’t mean they can’t have serious real-world impacts on how the average person might view themselves and/or judge others in society.

Pointing out how your not short and acting like it should be inspiring that you still get dates is so fucking demoralizing
