Right, that's what I mean, there are so many other factors that you can have that are equally or more important, that when you hear stuff like "I can't get a date because of my height", what it makes me think (and I am willing to be wrong on this is that there are other factors which could at least equally explain things.
I'm short as hell dude, I've also said on this forum that heightism is a real thing: https://www.resetera.com/threads/wh...ir-height-so-much.158045/page-6#post-27208628
I think society has done all it can in terms of height acceptance or whatever you might call it. There's just some fundamental reasons the human brain trusts and is more attracted to tall people and that's okay. Being tall is generally better and that's okay. If someone wants to make themselves or their kids taller that's okay too, as long as there aren't horrible side effects.
Well, how many leading men in Hollywood are short, and how many of them are able to own it within movies outside of for comedy? Like Tom Cruise, he's short but it's not usually brought up in movies or as a positive thing. I don't think there's a lot of representation there. How about in the modeling world, or advertising? How many people with a large platform use it in a positive way for height acceptance? It doesn't seem like it's something that happens often. I don't think as a society we've really done much of anything to change things, we can't say like "we've tried nothing and we're out of ideas"
Man you always have the worst fucking takes about topics like these.
but that's just it. being a tall as a man is inherently attractive and that's why they tend to get the modelling jobs, executive positions, leading rolls etc etc. i don't think anyone just decided "let's just pick tall people for hell of it" and because of that it became the norm. it won't ever be a completely level playing field because evolution didn't work out that way. and that's okay.

Sure, but we can overcome that through societal changes. Like for example, you could say a long time ago people's biological drive for sex was based on procreation or knowing that pregnancy was likely (or dangerous given no medicine), but with the advent of modern medicine and birth control, now people will fuck often just for the sake of it. Or the idea of multicultural societies, in early human history it may have been a huge shock and people may have had adverse reactions to seeing different people than their majority groups among them, but with time that has become less of a thing (except there still being a problem with racist shitheads), innate biological drives do not have to be hardcoded determining factors that can never be overcome or change. Hell, the current standard of what is attractive wasn't always the same thing even, and may differ from place to place.
Honestly, what the fuck is up with shower head height?! I'm barely 6'0" and have experienced this way too often.
Enough of a stigma for my parents (mother really) to want to get me on drugs to mitigate it, I guess. :P I know in those studies about height and success, the correlation holds across different genders. No idea in the case of attractiveness (not counting models).
I think there are plenty of cultures where the average height is far shorter than America that would disagree it's "some fundamental reason in the human brain". It's a uniquely American trait afaik.
Being below average does.
But even in those cultures aren't taller men preferred? It is interesting to think about whether we are just wired to associate height with masculinity.
Even if it is NOW, the reason they're shorter is because at some point in the past they selectively preferred people who were shorter.
This means one of two things. Either they suck, or you suck.
That's not how it works. Even if they preferred taller people they won't magically keep getting taller without the diet to make it happen.
The amount of women I've encountered that have a preference for men over 6 feet tall is ridiculous. That's actually quite a bit taller than the average height for men across the world. If they think that's a normal expectation then a lot of women will be disappointed.
Remember when society tried to make ultra thin women attractive and men collectively shouted "No! We want child bearing hips!"
You may not do it consciously or maliciously, but believe me, you do judge still.
Why are you so angry? It sounds like your problem is your attitude not your height, you silly little Napoleon!
