Women/girls who only like tall guys, and reject anyone over their height, they’re not good people, and will have a very difficult time in the real world. It’s selfish, and not normal. I’m going to call them Height Bimbos, that should be a new slang. Feminists and Karens exist, so do these things.

First of all, it’s just sickening that height really does matter in dating, and only tall men/boys are the lucky ones, while short men just live their lives in Hell. Because being tall gives you an apparent advantage in getting female attention (the female gaze). You do realize this gives short men severe depression. I swear whenever I hear women and girls describing men, I always hear “Tall, tall, tall…”… Basically, these type of women view themselves as “God’s gift to men”, and that they deserve the best ones. This makes it seem like whenever they see tall men, whether he’s muscular or not, they’re going to think to themselves “Oh my god he’s hot!”. It also doesn’t help that whenever I see young couples, the boyfriend is always much taller than the girlfriend, and these young women usually look like “trophy girlfriends”… Tall men shouldn’t be the (female gaze). Is height a fetish??

Height is something you have no control over, looks you do, but height you don’t. If a man is short, there’s nothing he could do about it, and he has to live that height for the rest of his life. Just so you know, only 14% of the male population are 6 feet and over (the ideal height women have for men), which means that only about 1% of men around you are going to be 6 feet and over. Another factor is that many people over 6 feet suffer health problems as a result of their height, this usually results in them dying young.

The fact that “Height Matters” is treated as so factual in dating is just hellish. Height shouldn’t be one of the most widely talked about subjects in dating… Why are short men so looked down on?! There’s nothing they can do about their height! Short shaming is just justified by society, while race shaming just becomes an incident and gets mentioned on the news… Basically, women have every right to call a man short, and reject them over it, while pointing out a women’s weight is just a crime… No, absolutely not. This type of attitude will just make fat shaming justified, and give you a taste of your own medicine.

Basically, women/girls need tall men because they rely on them for protection… Because it makes them feel “protected” “cute” and “feminine”, so they use their thug of a protector to attack or threaten anyone that makes them feel uncomfortable. Doesn’t being a short girl and being around men towering over you make you vulnerable and weak? Doesn’t the thought of having to stand on your tiptoes and tilting your head way back to kiss sound totally uncomfortable and something you don’t want to live with? Doesn’t the thought of being swooped right off your feet seem frightening and make you feel like a child? The fact that women and girls rely on men for protection is just stupid, you’re still able to defend yourself! You started off taller than boys when you were kids, I bet you liked that at the time, why did your thoughts change once boys started towering over you??

Being taller or even the same height as your boyfriend can allow you to play the dominant female type, and that’s still feminine in my eyes.

Everything about all of this shouldn’t be reality, I think it’s time short men are given chances, and will prove better than jerks 6 feet and over. You have to feel the pain they suffer for feeling unworthy in the dating world, while seeing so many young couples walking around them, where the boyfriend is much taller than the girl. It’s just so not fair, give them a chance, and you’ll fall in love. You should at least find them cute.
