They'll tell shorter guys to refrain from making your height your personality, but taller men get a pass on this it seems.

Some select tidbits from this Reddit post.

It is so bizarre to see people defending this kind of language and behavior in the workplace.

Note the comment about "short people not being a protected class" and encouraging shorter guys in particular to just "deal with the bullying and name calling", and more so, implying that this type of hostile behavior should not be called out.

Can you imagine how heads in HR would roll if you told someone they had "fat girl syndrome" or "[insert race here] syndrome"?

It's as if people want to have a group they can beat up and mock without any repercussions. 

This is a rhetorical question. The only reason I am posing it is because of the answers given in this compilation video of mostly Asian women being asked why they prefer white men. Your thoughts?

Caught like a deer in headlights. It's almost ingrained in some people to victim blame and then take a virtuous position.

The guy in question here showed exactly what happens in real life sometimes. Talk smack when no one is looking and then deny when confronted.

The one guy in the middle doesn't have something that the other men in the photo have in common.

Going 12 rounds with Berlanga, you know he has his respect. Berlanga was so humble in the end also.

Can anyone come up with any of the other myths that exist as a "means of getting taller". And by myth, I don't mean snake oil. I mean conventional supposed healthy eating habits during childhood that are supposed to make you grow taller. I have friends who drank nothing but soda, sugary drinks and ate junk who all ended up well above 6 feet.

As a kid, I drank milk constantly (parents made sure I did), ate lots of meats, drank glasses of water a day, played sports and got lots of sleep. When I chatted with friends in the past, they swore up and down and that I just didn't eat healthy enough as a child. To make matters worse, I remember an event where a friend of the family told her son to drink milk so he didn't end up like me. It made him change his picky eating habits immediately. It didn't occur to them that they're instilling the idea that shortness is a negative virtue.

Anyway, what are some of the myths that we're told to do in order to get taller?

Did a bit of noodling around online after watching a documentary about Edmund Kempner who was 6'9 and found that the majority of mass murderers with few exceptions (i.e. Charles Manson, famously listed as 5'2 but was actually a bit over 5'6) were all quite tall, as in significantly taller than average. Any idea why that might be? And isn't it interesting that us shorter men are the ones typically portrayed as being "angry men"?

Here is a quick list:

1. Edmund Kempner (American Serial Killer) - 6'9
2. David Long (Thousand Oaks Shooter) - 6'
3. Dyland Klebold (Colombine Shooter) - 6'3
4. Patrick Crusius (El Paso Walmart) - 6'
5. Randy Stair (Weis Market) - 6'2
6. Trey Sesleer ("Mr. Anime" of YouTube) - 6'6
7. Robert Gregory Bowers (Pittsburgh Synogouge) - 6'
8. Vladislav Roslyakov (Crimean High School Shooter) - 6'1
9. Jeff Weise (Red Lake Shooter) - 6'3
10. James Huberty (McDonalds Massacre, 1984) - 6'3
11. David Sonboly (Munich Mall Shooting) - 6'3
12. Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma City Bomber) - 6'3
13. George Sodini (L.A. Fitness Shooter) - 6'
14. Aaron Alexis (Navy Yard Shooter) - 6'1
15. Charles Joseph Whitman (Texas Tower Sniper) - 6'
16. Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook Shooter) - 6'
17. Stephen Paddock (Vegas Shooter) - 6'1
18. Mark Orrin Barton (Atlanta Day Trading Firm Shooter) - 6'1
19. Rex Heuermann (Gilgo Beach Murderer) - 6'4
20. Kenneth McDuff (Broomstick Murders) - 6'4
21. Richard Kuklinski (American Contract Murderer) - 6'5
22. Paul Durouosseau (Mass Murder American Southeast) - 6'6
23. Sergei Vasilyevich Ryakhovsky (Moscow Killer) - 6'6
24. Elias Abuelazam (Flint Michigan Serial Slasher) - 6'5
25. Keith Hunter Jesperson (Happy Face Killer) - 6'7
26. Richard Ramirez (Los Angeles Night Stalker) - 6'1
27. Jeffrey Dahmer (Milwaukee Cannibal) - 6'1
28. Joel Rifkin ("Joel The Ripper) - 6'2
29. David Ray Parker (Toybox Killer) - 6'2
30. Dennis Nilsen (Kindly Killer) - 6'1
31. Stephen Port (Grindr Killer) - 6'3
32. Levi Bellfield (Bus Stop Killer) - 6'1
33. John Allen Muhammad (Washington Sniper) - 6'1
34. Randall Woodfield (I-5 Killer) - 6'1
35. Ian Brady (Moors Murder) - 6'
36. Paul Barnardo (Schoolgirl Killer) - 6'2
37. Glen Edward Rogers (Cross-County Killer) - 6'
38. Arthur Shawcross (Genesee River Killer) - 6'
39. Larry Eyeler - (Highway Killer) - 6'
40. Robert Black (Scottish Serial Killer) - 6'2

That is quite the extensive list. And I know there are exceptions, but the vast majority were tall or at the bare minimum, slightly above average. This list could easily hit 75 if I started at 5'10.
