Love Connection host says he learned that women are mean to short men

Ever see the new remake of the 70s and 80s Love Connection show? Host Andy Cohen said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he discovered that women are "mean" to short men in his first season of hosting the show. I'll include a link to the interview below:

From the article

The couples are also asked to score each other’s looks. “I reveal to them how they scored each other,” says Cohen, who shot the 15-episode season during a weeklong hiatus from his Bravo talk show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “Women are really mean to short men — that’s one thing I’ve learned.”

Store for "not so tall" guys opens in NYC

New York Times

Steven Kurutz April 3, 2017

Short men need fashion love, too. The big and tall have their own specialty clothing stores, as do the plus-size, while guys the size of Daniel Radcliffe (5-foot-5), Tom Cruise (5-7) or Bruno Mars (also 5-7) may find themselves pawing through the offerings in the boys’ department.

But in March, the men’s wear brand Peter Manning, which designs for guys 5-8 and under, expanded its online business and opened a store in Manhattan. Located on the third floor of a building in the Flatiron district, the shop has a discreet presence at street level, as if to acknowledge the mild embarrassment its customers may experience on their way in and out.

Rest of the article is here

"He was a great man but diminutive"

Why is that whenever I read articles in print and online or hear people talk about shorter people in person, they always undercut a man's accomplishments by pointing out his lack of stature?

But he isn't tall enough.

"I am a Navy Seal, have completed 10 successful missions, am decorated and have the respect of my entire unit."

But you're short!

"I play 28 instruments, have toured on 6 continents, have products bearing my name and have 2 platinum records"

But you're short!

"I have a black belt, have won 40 tournaments, am undefeated and have fought guys both big and small"

But you're short!

"I have a Masters Degree and two PhD in STEM related disciplines"

But you're short!

This has the be the most annoying most widely accepted view that no matter how much a man has accomplished, it means diddly squat if he is short. Being short is promoted like it is some irredeemable quality. I have been around associated in a social situations and heard this and even with women I've dated. I could say almost all with the exception of one has bought this up. Can you imagine if a woman said:

"I just finished my bachelors in molecular biology" 

and then I responded, "but you have small breasts"

Any woman would be livid over such a statement.

After hearing this often if enough, it rots you from the core. I have friends who never suggest me as a potential date for their female associates because I am the "short one". I'm at the point where even if I met someone nice, I'd have this at the back of my head.

Anyone hate being told "be confident"?

Confidence comes from previous successes. If you are someone who doesn't have many successes, how are you going to be confident? Why is that people tell short guys who don't do well in dating to "be confident"? For what? Why not just admit that a lot of women are attracted to men they find attractive FIRST, then they look for "confidence"? 

It would make more sense to tell short guys to be amazing at whatever it is that they do. Be the best skier, be amazing at playing the piano, be an amazing student. That type of confidence is reassurance in your strengths, but as a means to attract women? "Be confident"? What the hell does that mean?

Wow @ this reddit post about being ditched on a date because of height

This is a post from reddit. I'll link it below the copied/pasted text from the post:

Random girl found me on FB...

I'm a musician and she claimed to be "super into music" so I took her to see Chevelle at the Upstate Concert Hall in Clifton Park NY.

Her first words to me after meeting in person were "Wow...I didn't think you were that short!"

(I'm 5'6", she's looked to be 5'3"-5'4")

So we hang out at the bar for the opening acts and it's clear to me that she's not interested by the way she's throwing back shots and blabbering on about how hot the bouncer was...

"Seriously...Did you see his muscles?!"

Me: Yea...He's a big guy...

"He's gotta be at least 6'4"!"

Me: Most likely...

"I would let him do whatever he wants to me!"

Me: Seems like the kinda guy who would end up raping someone.

"You can't rape the willing"

Chevelle goes on and she's into it, but tells me she's going to the bathroom and disappears...

Concert's over and she's nowhere to be found...

I'm texting her and she finally gets back to me..

"Hey...I met this other guy outside and he offered to let me stay at his house...You probably think I'm a real bitch but I can't settle for someone I know I can do better than...I'm sure you'll find someone eventually ;)"

That was 2014 and I haven't been on a date since

On a positive note, Chevelle put on an amazing show!

You literally can't make stuff like this up. The reddit post is here: here

new growth plate regeneration technology will make you taller

Before you know it, new technology will be able to make us taller even well after puberty. Research is underway to regenerate growth plate tissue and is showing promising results: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/2014/02/regrowing-growth-plates-a-fix-for-kids-injuries/

Once upon a time, if you ended up short after puberty, you were short forever. Pretty soon it won't have to be that way.

Anyone here ever get bullied by WOMEN over their height?

Sometimes in the workplace or when hanging out it happens, where a woman would single me out to make jokes, but almost always mean spirited. It's been happening since I graduated college. Usually surrounding guys would laugh then get in on the bullying.

Any of this happen to you guys?

During WWI, The British Had Bantam Regiments. Soilders 5'4 And Under

During World War I, many men wanted to sign up to fight but the British had a height requirement of 5 foot 4. To service these enthusiatic would-be soldiers, they created separate battalions that would be lead by officers of normal height. Their rifles would be cut 6 inches shorter and they had custom made uniforms to accommodate their short stature.

They had an amazing track record.

Short and Bald

I am currently 30 years old and I'm 5'6. I began loosing my hair at 22. I know that it is what it is, but every now and then, I do become a little insecure about it. Who else is short and have the bald gene?

Does your mother treat you worse than your taller siblings?

My mother would occasionally throw in shots to express her disappointment with how tall I did not become, but I also noticed that she would coddle more even though I am older. She would give my brothers tougher chores and listens to them for advice on how to accomplish certain tasks where she would be more hesitant and "mother like" when it came to me doing stuff (i.e. "be careful, "do it this way", etc).
