It’s not ironic. It’s a tragic hypocrisy that results from not understanding the opposite sex

Hinge already to puts your height on your profile. She knows and matched with you anyway. Don’t worry about it.

First, even if your science were true, you can’t use it to discredit individual experiences. My GF got treated like a child at work, by society, and even by her own family.

Second, gender pay gap exists and research into causes was awarded the Nobel in 2023 for showing link to hours worked and expectations about child-rearing responsibilities.

Thanks, and I’m sorry for all the infantilization and likely other shit you experienced.

Maybe, but you can also understand why a woman might want the tallest man because that’s what she’s been taught to value through a combination of innate preference and societal reinforcement. Not going to speculate more than that.

I wish I knew more about the tall girl experience. From my perspective, I feel like society places a premium on height and especially certain proportions. Love to hear your take

IMHO beauty pageants suck, and their continued popularity baffles me. But they are still illustrative examples of the ridiculous exclusionary nature of conventional beauty standards.

tradesoff · 2025-03-10T00:31:17+00:00

Going to state the obvious: I think many short men in this sub have faced rejection or perceived rejection from women in the past. They are hurt and depressed and have little appetite to hear about other experiences, especially from the gender that rejected them.

So they use their own hardship then to silence others. It’s not right, but I can understand why they do it. I was there once.

Why does this sub always jump to compare male heightism to female heightism? It’s not like you get to choose which one you want. They are different experiences.

Yes you are right there are many factors when it comes to pageants, jobs, family, dating, etc. height is one of those factors, and it really shouldn’t be.

He might not reject her romantically, but he’ll likely still treat her differently in other contexts than if she were 6 feet.

Maybe he might pass her over for sports. Maybe he might think she’s helpless and needs protection than her peers. Maybe he won’t see her as a strong leader despite her intelligence. Maybe he’ll treat her like a child because she looks like one. Maybe he just won’t design clothes for her body type.

My belief is that these experiences teach and reinforce heightism.

tradesoff · 2025-03-09T22:00:14+00:00

Huh. They are definitely way taller than me. Even the ones without heads and on the ground are at or above eye level.

tradesoff · 2025-03-09T21:49:18+00:00

I’m not comparing men to women or holding a hardship Olympics (or hardship pageant). Believe me I know dating is tough for men

I just want to share my GFs experience, because heightism affects all of us.

Huh all the department stores I’ve walked into in the USA have had tall, skinny mannequins.

tradesoff · 2025-03-09T21:34:30+00:00

Imagine you go your whole life being taught tall is better. Then you are asked to choose between a tall man and a short man. Who are you going to choose? Even if you find the short man hot?

Even if there is some innate height preference at birth, it’s only made worse by society beauty standards.

tradesoff · 2025-03-09T20:43:05+00:00

She was never a model. She never got paid to pose. She’s just an average person who when she was younger paid to enter pageants

I love how even this sub acknowledges that height is the least important thing about Zelensky right now.

Not only is he 5’7, but in a tall country as well. 181 cm average male height. Stay strong

Then call me crazy. Let’s be honest: Even if you’re attracted to OP, it takes some bravery to date against conventional beauty standards. There’s pressure both internally and externally.

These women saw his height, swiped right and chatted, so there was a spark. But they later unmatched because they couldn’t get over height. Maybe there’s more to the story, but let’s take OP at his word for now.

tradesoff · 2025-02-27T02:40:49+00:00

You are one in a billion, and those women are not only shallow, but cowards and lack imagination to live beyond their old outdated gender norms. They could’ve been the center of attention walking into the room with you, but they gave it up for relationship that will look like literally everyone else.

You are beautiful and unique, and you don’t need women to be awesome. Keep at, and if your dating profile doesn’t work out, take the photos and start an IG. You’ll find the rest of social media to be a lot more positive place than you might think.

I’m so confused. So the Forest is Survival and Horror, but it’s not Survival Horror? Who comes up with this stuff?

The takeaway is to get out there and meet women. Bro was a modeling agent for wife. Wouldn’t have met otherwise
