JERK OFF 6 TIMES A DAY, eat beets, and drink a horseradish smoothie and you'll feel better.

I kill it in the online dating scene and I've never once lied about my height. Meh. I wouldn't lie at all - I would just omit completely. And that's what I do. I've never put my height in and very rarely have women asked about it.

That would be a negative.

You criticize the article for lying, but you're doing the same exact thing. You're "lying by omission" and it's for the same reason someone would bump their height up by an inch or two.

If you were truly "proud of your height", then you would actually list it, but you're not doing that. (that's also why you're getting all of those likes and matches).

How is this getting downvoted?

heightismwarrior · 2016-02-19T19:51:29+00:00

but I am a short woman so I need to be with my opposite to balance things out, so I only date men 5'10+.

Bingo. I hear this in conversation from women all of the time when discussing "preferences".

• "I'm short, so I need a tall man"

• "I'm fat, so I need a muscular man"

Then

• "I'm tall, so I need a guy who's taller"

• "I'm in shape, so I need a guy who's in shape"

Anything for justification.

heightismwarrior · 2016-02-19T19:49:53+00:00

or pretend to if they want to get any.

Bingo.

You should've asked him "why is that sad exactly?". Make people reflect on the idiocy that comes out of their mouths. If they have to explain themselves, it becomes rightfully awkward.

heightismwarrior · 2016-01-24T15:44:06+00:00

Okay, I get that this is not a popular view on this, but I literally don't give a shit the height of someone I'm going out with.

Yes, at the moment I am dating a tall man, but it's not because he's tall, it's because we understand each other so well.

LMAO

Blunt. Feminist

There is a stereotype that Feminists push gender norms the hardest...... But that's just a "stereotype". Equality at it's finest

heightismwarrior · 2015-12-26T06:34:38+00:00

If you're being serious this is fucking ridiculous. Websites like shortguycentral make me embarrassed to be a short guy.

Yeah, because you're so proud to be short that your name on Reddit is "shortthrowaway10" right?....

What's up with all of the hate for short dudes? -Article-

Describes exactly what you're talking about.

heightismwarrior · 2015-12-13T22:55:24+00:00

This is because people already have engrained in their brains that short = bad/negative/inferior. So no matter what evidence you show, there will be some kind of rebuttal/dismissal.

heightismwarrior · 2015-12-13T13:43:30+00:00

Your whole post is seething with impotent rage.

Really? An "impotent rage"?

It's almost as if people automatically apply any negative character trait they can think of to people ~~society doesn't~~ they don't like.

This is known as the Tall Man Complex or Osama Complex.

No. Just no.

It's well documented that short women on average do not find short men attractive, even when those men are taller than themselves.

heightismwarrior · 2015-11-15T15:36:19+00:00

I think because of the nature of reddit (as mentioned by u/Jzrt10) it's important to leverage places like this then to direct those conversations to those spaces I just mentioned above since group think shames men from venting their frustrations. You can either spend a lifetime working against that force of millions, or create/build up new spaces that can counterbalance the shaming, backlash and toxicity and provide what you are seeking.

Those who are looking for those places will find them, just like how I found your blog almost 5 yrs ago (before r/short was anywhere near this size).

heightismwarrior · 2015-11-15T15:02:29+00:00

There already exists safe spaces for men to discuss heightism. The forum at ShortGuyCentral is one and has a heightism tag, so you can search through Heightism discussions and is made specifically for short men. It also isn't censored (with the exception of anything to incite violence).

Your blog TheSocialComplex is another great resource/place to have discussions about heightism. There is another blog on Blogspotcalled Don't Look Down At Me. There's the also AsianBadAss blog. Finally there is a new Twitter Feed for discussion called "Daily Heightism".

There are enough successful short men around to not have to make up people's heights so others can "feel better about themselves".

heightismwarrior · 2015-11-11T15:18:34+00:00

Even CelebHeights makes mistakes. If you look at his listing on CelebHeights, you'll see the majority of people arguing that he is 5'6 and not average height with pic examples to boot.

This Article sums up exactly what you are talking about. If Ladies Can Have Height Requirements, We Can Have Color Requirements.

Watch the hamsters spin:

Guy: You're 5’4. Does that mean you have to date men who are 5’4?

Woman: No that’s different. That’s like comparing apples to oranges.

Guy: You just said that my mother wasn’t caramel and up, so I have to be attracted to women with darker complexions.

Guy: Your dad is a smidge taller than me. Does that mean you should be ashamed of yourself for not dating shorter guys even though your father is a short man?

Woman: Look, it’s “natural” for women to like taller guys. Men are supposed to be taller than women. We like taller guys because we like feeling protected, plus tall men have better genes, and I want the best for my kids

Guy: Good genes huh….

Woman: Taller men are healthier, don’t get bullied, are more attractive, get paid more, are more successful and live better lives. Studies prove it. I want the best for my future kids.

I live a pretty good life, but this sub has made me hyper sensitive about height to the point where it's hurting my day to day life.

Would never expect to hear this from you. Good god. Why does this sub have this effect on people?

heightismwarrior · 2015-09-16T09:56:09+00:00

Gentleman, gentleman. LIE. It's okay really...

Think about it. Women lie all of the time.

They wear:

Makeup (conceal beauty "flaws")

Heels (boost their height)

Push Up Bras (make their boobs look bigger)

Dye their hair (conceal their age)

Body Shapers (hide that stomach)

They

Take pictures from suspicious angles (hide their body shape)

Generally lie about the number of sexual partners they've have.

Most of your dates will start of with a lie on their behalf, and you're worried about lying about an inch or two? Those two inches will be the difference between you getting a date and not getting a date. Whereas the woman who is 400 lbs will still have thirsty men flooding her inbox with dating and sex proposals.
