Short men frowned upon!

It will be a masterpiece, I am sure, I may sell it on ebay.

I'm fully in favor of legal prosthetution, so go for it.

I invite you to put the first bid.

Not to my taste, sorry. I thought it would make a nice gift for someone special, or perhaps decoration for a wedding cake.

For the record, mine has already been immortalized in all it's glory in a painting. The canvas is about 40" high, and it hung (or stood) at my church for a while. It's rendered behind bars, as part of a diptych with a yoni. The artist was quite short, he said in a random attempt to get the thread back on track, and she preferred to date shorter guys, but taller girls.

Well, just sayin'.

I don't understand what your emoticon means in response to my post...

I don't see how, its not like this is the first time I've said I think being a stickler about height is shallow. I'm shorter than average and its not like its never gotten a negative comments about it, yes short females also get made fun of sometimes to. Granted 5' 7" hardly seems short.

Also I don't need a snarky/sarcastic response every time I post an opinion of mine.

As long as they're frowning upon it, enthusiastically... he said, vainly trying to at least get the thread back on an amusing off-track.

A very unsolicited miracle. But still nice to read stuff like that once in a while.

Nothing, just a p**is joke.

The reality is that the standards of women is almost universal. A tall guy will always be seen as superior by the vast majority of the women. It is the same for being thin, having muscles, being confident, etc.

Men are the more experimental sex. Some men like thin women, other like chubby women. Some like short women, other like tall women. Some like shy women, other like confident women. The list goes on.

Exceptions always exist, but this is the general trend. The reason why it is this way is very simple, it's nature. A woman can get pregnant from only one man so she needs to make sure it's someone with high genetic quality. Our brains haven't evolved that much so humans can't help to see tall men as more attractive than for example intelligent men, despite the latter being much more important for human progress at this point. In nature men aren't the ones taking risk when being attracted to a woman with some quirks, so it is obvious we are less critical of these aspects.

Well then I suppose I missed the joke...

Women are also socialized sometimes to be 'attracted' to certain things to, like they think they should be attracted to tall men or should be attracted to this or that so they portray that. But I think a lot of times when they actually fall in love they find those traits they were 'supposed' to find attractive over others aren't so important after all. That is why I have mentioned before there is what a woman will say about attraction...but they don't always stick to it. Like if a woman is taking about a hypthetical partner and says 'I like tall guys with dark hair' or something that doesn't necessarily mean they'll only give tall guys with dark hair a chance. Also guys can be amazingly shallow to, I hear a lot of conversations from friends and just random groups in public...I've always had a thing where my brain zones in on particular conversations in loud chattery places.

I also remember when I was a victim of internet trolls and a lot of what they attacked me on was my appearance from my profile pic and others I had on my profile, it was almost like they were legitimately angry I didn't try to be a 'hot chick' I know I said 'its not my job to be attractive to you guys' of course they just responded with more trollery but I still think I made a good point.

Also seems like some of you guys here just assume none of us girls ever get crap about our looks or feel inferior about it. When I was a teenager trying to sort of figure out my clothing style I got a lot of 'are you a boy or a girl', Yeah I'm a girl no I don't really like girly clothing...I didn't see the big deal but plenty of other people saw it as enough of a big deal to pick on me. For a time I even thought maybe I was a 'lesbian' but it really never was that it was just I didn't fit in with predetermined stereotypes of girls. Also all through my years I got picked on by girls and I got picked on by boys I wasn't enough of a girl for the girls and I wasn't enough of a tom-boy to just be buds with the boys. That and all my aspergers quirks.

Actually a lot of women find intelligence a desirable trait to pass on to their offspring. Also who are you too say that women can't like different things? I know girls who like big guys or like thin guys etc. Why are they the exception and in men its just the way guys are?

I know people will denigrate this post, and they should. You aren't wrong, but you have missed the point. It isn't women, it's people. Taller people earn more; more attractive people earn more. They also get shorter sentences if convicted of a crime. Don't blame women, blame people.

Then, deal with it. Life has more unfairness than is heard of in your philosophy.

people that prefer tallness are just bad people is all

i respect the 'preference' for height like I respect the 'preferences' for other things people can't change like skin color
