Height shaming isn't acknowledged by the greater society
The guy pictured here is Dynzell Sigers, a seemingly nice guy. Most of you know him by now.
What makes him stand out is how open he was about his successful leg lengthening procedure.
A former short king, he now stands at 6ft even. Quite striking when you consider his starting height was 5'5.
You'd have to ask, what would make a man go this far? I'm not here to talk bad about the man.
He says he was confident and comfortable with himself, but he knew what many of us know or take too long to figure out.
If you look at the comments under his video where he always commits to full transparency, you will see comments like, "He's insecure", "why wouldn't he accept himself" and "all of this for what?".
The people who say these things always forget to address, "where does that insecurity come from?". To be clear, Dynzell says he wasn't insecure and I believe him.
There are so many stigmas that people acknowledge today, Depression, body dysmorphia, gender identity, weight, but very few acknowledge heightism, even those who claim to be the most progressive. Shaming men isn't considered forbidden, but actually encouraged.
Kudos to Dynzell for concluding that he didn't want to fight this fight, he wanted to rid himself of the stigma once and for all and just live a normal life.
Now, I personally wouldn't do leg lengthening, but I get it. I get it.
Two bald dudes ask women if they'd date short kings.
Many of the participants were pretty open. I believe the ones who said they were currently dating a short king. The others I believe just told the hosts what they wanted to hear.
Is there such thing as "fragile" or "toxic femininity"?
Shorter guys routinely get called out for having alleged "little man syndrome" and for having fragile egos for either "feeling intimidated" by or refusing to be open to dating women significantly taller. First off, the number of women who are willing to do this at any height is is infinitesimal. We're talking about a super tiny minority. But even for those who are open, again, men are called out for their supposed insecurities around this. I personally am okay with dating taller women.
Now what about the opposite. All of these women who refuse to date shorter guys, or have said things like, "what am I going to do with him", "I'd squish him", or "I just can't see myself dating a shorter guy"; why aren't they called out for their toxic femininity? Isn't that also an insecurity? Or is it different because you know, insecurity only matters in men?
Short men have just as many sex partners as their taller counterparts
According to a study published in "Evolutionary Psychology" by two researchers from Chapman University, "taller men do not have a history of more sex partners than average height or short men", that is if you are at least 5'4. Numbers decrease steadily thereafter.
The researchers due to their own positive that they would find as assumed that taller men would fair better, but this wasn't the case.
Man rejects her for having 5 kids. Disappointed, she says "I knew it".
Sharing this because it shows a commonality in the dating market, having a trait that makes you undesirable to many even though if they are attracted to your looks and or character.
The guy on this show, "Pop The Balloon Or Find Love" was as interested in the woman as she was him, that is until he found out she had five kids. You can see the disappointment on her face when she said, "I knew it". She was reluctant to let him know she had five kids because she knew it would run her off.
Almost like when women ask you that dreaded, "How tall are you" question online after a really good conversation. You know what's coming next.
Guy shows off his athletic abilities two years after Leg Lengthening
This video isn't absent of comments criticizing the patient for getting it and putting down the procedure and as a ticket to lifetime orthopedic issues, but any arguments against should be quelled when seeing how happy an agile this guy is two years post-procedure.
4'11 guy in NYC asks for dating advice. The responses are brutal.
I cannot say that Reddit didn't deliver. As horrid as some of the responses are, they pulled no punches and gave him everything straight no chaser.
I do notice that the men responding are more realistic, while the women are virtue signaling. Also, what's great is the men who concern-troll are called out and humbled.
Is black culture more heightist and hostile to short men than others?
For this thread, I'm talking about black women who date and interact with black men. I'm not talking so much about other men's experience with black women. And on that note, there seems to be a double standard which I will get to later.
If you browse threads on websites like Lipstick Alley and Nairaland (I chose those two sites deliberately), you can see a very callous and vitriolic view of anything that discusses the idea of shorter guys and romance. And I mean, the responses are usually very nasty.
Now, no one likes to be stereotyped, and I'm not creating this thread to purposely create division or talk horribly about black women, but this is an honest question.
Are black women and by extension is black culture more heightist and hostile to shorter men than others?
