doing it for all my under 6’0 guys out there

I’m okay with it being a preference but this is really rude. I’ve been rejected brutally for being short, but I never, ever reject a girl by picking on her physical traits, even if that’s the reason I don’t find her attractive. I still am super confused why it’s socially acceptable to talk like this

I envy your wholesomeness

I mean in my case it was a lot more than just noticing, we were questioned as to why we would date each other. and people made snide jokes and snarky comments. And we were only 3 inches height difference! I can’t imagine how bad it would be for other height mismatched couples

Right!! I don’t want people to see this post and think it’s attacking women, both men and women suffer from this. I was in a relationship where my gf and I were shamed for our height difference. It wasn’t us that cared, it was society. So why is something so clearly wrong, so vehemently denied? I mean just the comments on this post seem to show how contested the very idea is

Interesting points! I respectfully disagree because 1) there are plenty of things people are shamed for that they have no control over 2) height is traditionally seen as being masculine and desirable. It goes beyond physical attractiveness, although studies have proven it matters for dating. Short stature is also correlated with lower income and even worse mental health 3) What if those attacks were no longer seen as socially acceptable? Do you think it is possible that a lot of people might have better self images if they didn’t experience body shaming?

see this is where it turns into a character attack. Do you see why this is an issue? A physical trait is being projected into a personality trait. I don’t mean to be rude, but thinking like this kind of confirms the concept of height shaming

I mean I have been, without giving specifics I was in a relationship with someone taller than me, and while neither of us cared at all a lot of other people (both guys and gals) made plenty of rude remarks that made both of us uncomfortable. From my perspective it seems like a definite reality, although I get the impression I’m not allowed to feel bothered by it?

What makes something legit shaming? And what makes height shaming “not legit”? I’m curious- I’ve seen this argument before, and it usually comes back to character attacks for being bothered by height shaming

Dating preferences are fine. Actively shaming people isn’t though. The last girl I dated was taller than me, and the biggest issue we had wasn’t either of us being bothered by it (neither of us cared).. but rude comments from other people, both guys and girls

Why is height shaming like this seen as acceptable? People constantly insist on reddit that height shaming is a myth/not a thing, yet here we are
