So why is it that when a "normal" height or tall man acts confident and demonstrates self respect no one bats an eye, but when a short man acts confident, is opinionated and has respect for himself he's an "angry little man" with issues that need fixing? Why is it when a short man is pointing out heightism facts or anecdotes and not complaining he has issues that need fixing? This is some bizarre reasoning by some functionally comatose people here.
Heightism is not going away any time soon. Check any dating site, no woman is going to date shorter, they all want 4" to 5" taller which wipes out a shit-ton of women from a short man's options. And most of them with the same braindead, bullshit excuse...because they like to wear heels and because short men have issues with a taller woman.
You have good points.
It's dumb how, while I wouldn't say every time, but most times a short guy who is assertive, or maybe a little pushy, ends up being branded as having a Napoleon complex and over-compensating. Same thing if a short guy drives either a big car, or a really nice luxury sports car. Never mind the fact he might enjoy driving the car, no he's automatically branded as over-compensating. When a tall guy, or an average guy drives that same car, or has that same personality, he's just being 'assertive' or 'take-charge'. The other thing that people ignore is that some short guys who have achieved success in whatever they do, did so because they needed to be more aggressive, or take that extra step to get noticed ahead of their taller counterparts. They could be completely secure with themselves, and be perfectly nice and laid-back privately, but they feel like they have to be more aggressive to get noticed in the work place and then they get stuck with the insecure label. It's the same concept to when women who are take-charge are automatically dismissed as bitchy or man-eating. It's an unfortunate part of our society. It's pretty easy to take shots at the short guys. I mean this entire thread is basically an entire troll thread created by an unabashed gold digger, who decided against applying her skills to help people in one of the few fields where one can actually make a difference , and decided instead to sell her education, youth and pussy for a few gold bricks. Or a psychotic liar. Or a man who has nothing better to do than to fuck with a bunch of guys on an escort review board. Pick one, but the point is, she has no credibility whatsoever, but even she feels like she can take a few swipes at short guys, and apparently, in the unlikely event her senior citizen sugar daddy can slip one past the goalie, will advance this anti-midget stance to her daughter
However, that being said, the short guys on here make it easy. They never shut up about being short, and they blame everything bad that happens to them on their height. They have negative attitudes (which is understandable to a degree) but they don't understand that a positive attitude and confidence are exactly what's needed to make up for their lack of height. No confidence+Shortness= Unhappiness and much rejection. They blame everyone else and 'society' for their lot, and even when it is pointed out that, while perhaps unusual, there are plenty of cases with short guys and taller women, they ignore it or blame it on other factors. It's pretty easy to see that because they have been rejected so many times, they hate women. They don't realize they are acting exactly like the stereotypes they rail against. It doesn't help that some of them actually come across as having severe psychiatric issues beyond insecurity.
