As a short dude myself I wish this were true. I’m confident and have accepted my fate. Yet even when I thought we were grooving and clearly compatible I’d still get hit with “sorry you’re not tall enough,” even when she was like 5’0. I don’t know how the hell I got lucky to get my wife, but she’s clearly the exception not the norm.

I don't care about being short. The hypocrisy pisses me off. At least you can do something about being fat.

I mean yea.

But we need to accept life is harder for short guys. If you just want to get laid, harder. If you want a promotion, harder. If you want to be treated nicer, harder.

All those things you said help and are good. But not not pretend hightism doesn't exist.

'There is a form of socially acceptable discrimination against a subset of people based around a fundamental intrinsic element of those people that they are totally incapable of changing.'

'Chin up, be strong, don't let the bastards get you down!'

Oh so ... not a situation where we maybe need or could benefit from a serious society-wide discussion of this problem, the solution to this form of bigotry is uh... its a personal responsibility.

Got it.
