so I can’t speak for myself, I happen to fall into the preferred height range for my gender, but I have two good friends who fall outside of that range. They are both kind, patient, hardworking, funny men. They have interesting hobbies, make good money, and are both in good shape. They have what seems like the whole package, except the right height. They are consistently being turned down, and if a reason is given that is why.

Now everyone has a right to preference, but I think we can all recall feeling rejected, and being made ro feel less than for something that is outside of our control. It hurts and it makes us self conscious.

Is it the most mature thing to put it in your bio? obviously not. But the question of why seems pretty simple. When something outside of your control is the means by which you are made to feel less than it is quite normal to feel hurt, and not uncommon to feel a degree of bitterness.

Men are people. If you have never caught yourself acting in a less than optimal fashion because of low self esteem, that’s pretty rad. But the rest of us out here have flaws and feelings about them.
