:sadness-abysmal:

They say how anyone below 5'8 is too short and they get grossed out.

I usually have headphones on but they're charging so I can't even shut them out.

They also have a short dude sitting with them so that's just...extra uncomfortable.

    Yikes lol They sound like pretty inconsiderate people if they're speaking loud enough so everyone, including you, can hear. :shrug-outta-hecks:

    I'm 6' or 5'11 and 3/4". something I never had any control over, though the women in my family ensured me it was something to be proud of. and they are now all heavily invested, emotionally, in how tall my nephew is going to be. I tell them all they are being a bunch of shallow harpies and they need to knock it off or they're going to put stupid ideas in his head, but I don't live there so I can't advocate as effectively as I want. next time one brings it up I'm going to compare it to a bunch of old men sitting around complaining about a little girl in the family being "too heavy", which is basically going nuclear in this crowd. but I am sick of it.

    when I got into a physical labor job in my late 20s working with a bunch of like 5'6" Mexican dudes, I wished I was shorter. being tall is hard on the back and it only gets worse with age. compact dudes get shit done and live forever.

      Yeah shut that shit down. There are plenty of women who say bullshit and then cry "sexism" when you call them out.

        I also struggle to grapple with that argument as well. Some women act as if its super comfortable and rad to be a fat dude in todays society because like Seth Rogan exists or something. 90% of modern men in popular culture are sculpted specimen superheroes.

    I honestly don't get people like this. Like having preferences are ok but completely rejecting a group of people preemptively based on some arbitrary thing never made sense to me.

    Your mistake here was having wireless headphones. Wired headphone block out the world 24/7 gang.

    Anyway as a lover of public transport being short for me is a godsend because every train/plane/bus seat is a throne for me while i see these 6ft goons trying to squeeze in :data-laughing:

    Shallow weirdos. The benefit is that if you do miss their standards, they'll leave you the fuck alone. More shorties for me :top-use-words:

    Western cishet dating culture has rotted peoples brains. Every measurement has to be perfect or else they literally wont feel anything for each other. Its pathetic how people like this would rather have a completely loveless relationship with a tall person who has nothing in common with them than a slightly smaller person they might actually get along with.

    What's funny is that most people are pretty fuckin bad at judging height. People will be like oh I'd never date a man less than 6 feet tall and not even have a clue that the guy they currently have a crush on is only technically like 5 foot 10
