No, but seriously, every guy I've been interested in who is shorter than me acts irritated that I'm taller than them even if it's only by an inch or two. Current boyfriend aside of course, but he did hold that attitude when we were younger.



lol....you, your prejudice is so funny.

"Every short guy", then you say 'current boyfriend aside".

So funny.

Prejudice lmao? Hate to burst your bubble, but I prefer guys who are my height or shorter. Never more than like 4 inches shorter but I'd say even less for taller (2 inches, so 5'11"). Extreme height difference is awkward physically.

Also did you miss the part where my boyfriend used to be like that? He outgrew it but was like that into his 20s. He always was pissed off that me and the other two girls in our friend group were all taller than him. I'm 2" taller, and my friends are 1" and 3" inches taller than him respectively.

Short dudes act aggressively defensive about taller women, immediately assuming they won't date them.

Also, it's interesting how you're silent on the "preference" men have for women being shorter than them to the point that they'll reject women for being too tall. Apparently only your side of the coin is prejudice.

I’ll admit that someone who has lost such a huge amount of weight as you have has probably earned the right to be prejudiced more than anyone else.

By the way, I always assume no woman would date me, and I already did so before I got fat. I think it’d be a huge disrespect to believe otherwise. I wonder if this means I act aggressively defensive about them, even though I just try my best to leave them alone and mind my own business.

I haven't really noticed that aggressive defensiveness with anyone but short people in general.

Honestly idk why he'd accuse me of being prejudiced since my boyfriend is shorter than me, slightly overweight, and less successful than me. I'm not a horrible picky b***h who hates short men, he's projecting.

I misread it as 'he did not hold'.

I don't mind taller women; I may much less likely to approach them, yes, based on a logical thinking but I won't reject her if I like her and she asks me out just because she's tall.

Nope, it's only my side of the struggle.

It's statement like this that makes me believe that you are actually prejudiced, it's hard to believe that only the short guys are the ones who were ever been aggressive defensive in your life so far.

I don't care if somebody doesn't like short guys.

I'm a short guy, will always be a short guy.

I have to live with it.

And it's tough nuggies on the girl who won't derive benefit from me...merely because I'm short!

Short people. My sister is 5'3" and is incredibly defensive about her height. Most short people are, I've noticed.

It's just more annoying with guys, because yes I don't want to hear passive aggressive comments about how I shouldn't wear high heels when we're on a date. Like yes, I get it, you're defensive because I'm an inch or two taller than you, get over it. They care too much about how other people think. Like shouldn't the fact that the person you're interested in not caring that you're shorter be the factor that matters?

Likewise, I knew taller girls with this same attitude, such as avoiding to walk side by side with me.

It is prejudiced to assume all short people are aggressively defensive about their height, as well as that only they have something to be aggressively defensive about. Fat people are another obvious suspect group, with the difference that you can lose weight more or less naturally, while you can’t gain height, so this makes them much more deserving of harsh criticism.

By the way, why wear high heels when you can walk on stilts? :jester:

My favorite saying about size is: 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.' And just a little trivia... Chihuahuas are the best dogs of all :mrgreen: . I wouldn't want to be a big person, any more then I would want to be NT. They seem a bit clumsy, bigger targets, not so manuverable. But I have no bad feelings towards them. I just feel a little sorry for them. :(

Randy Newman – Short People Lyrics

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(a fool such as i)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(it's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'round here

A big, big hit in 1978. Number One for a few weeks.

The only kind of superior “maneuverability” I’ve ever observed is the endearing grace with which small women often sit cross-legged on top of a seat where I can barely fit my buttocks and thighs. I’ve noticed that putting on weight has considerably reduced my ability to turn around quickly, but, even before that, I’d never tell anyone taller than me they’re less maneuverable—it’d be a good way to experience how maneuverable I am with a broken leg.

Thinking of that song still gives me a chuckle thinking of my Dad. He absolutely hated it! :mrgreen: It just seemed odd to me. He was a Brooklyn raised Irish fighter. About 5' 3" and although never one to start trouble, utterly fearless and would stand up to anyone, no matter how many. It used to give me panic attacks hanging around with him up sometimes. :mrgreen: I tried to explain the song actually meant the opposite and Newman wrote harsh lyrics (ie 'Rednecks') but he was having none of it.

I lived in the Bronx about a year btw. My Dad was a City Housing Super and we followed him around for awhile cause we could live in his project for free. It was a long time ago but I still remember it like yesterday. A lovely spot called Edenwald Projects. :wink:

Is it bad that I don't like dating short girls?

Those are BAD projects now.

I was mugged in 1986 in a 40-story project building. I got off at Mount Eden Avenue on the 4 train to get there.

Now I remember: the project was called "Richmond Towers" or something like that.
