Anyone salty when they hear women talk about "body acceptance"?

There is an awesome article where Radio Host Mumia Obsidian Ali talks about this very topic. He examines People Magazine's Sexiest Man going all the way back to 1985 and found that with the exception of one person (Tom Cruise), every man was 5'10-6'2, white and ripped (Denzel Washington was the only Non-White).

An Idea to Challenge the Heightism towards Men

The title says all; I will explain:  A way to address heightism is by making shortness , stylish.  To do this, would mean that companies would have to hire short male models.  The problem is, nowadays consumer market economy/culture forces companies and businesses to use only what is deemed attractive; they make what is stylish and trendy.  Becuase there aren't short male models or short lead male actors, we receive this treatment.  Being portrayed as that silly, unserious follower needs to stop.  And thus, being short is considered unattractive.  That's the problem.  As a shorter man, you need to be stylish.  To push this even farther, you need to be kind of mainstream. We also need supporters.

As a shorter man myself, I love this site.

There are other communities for short men on the web. A lot of them focus on things counterproductive to our progress as men like "growing taller", whining or are trolled relentlessly by people who want laughs or to boost their own egos (i.e. r/short on reddit).

Here though, things are really different. It's like we're all honest about society's view of us and work hard to become the best we can be in all other areas of our lives, while condemning height bigotry. It's a nice mix.

Need Help: How can you tell if a girl likes you?

So I need help...  I really like this girl in my university...  She's nice and respectful to me and all, but I'm getting a sense that she's just being nice to me (as always).  I normally don't pursue woman for obvious reasons, but I want to know how to tell if a woman likes you, especially if you're a shorter guy.

You need tall people and women on your side to fight height bigotry

Without them it wouldn't work. Think about Racism and Homophobia. It was abolitionists who helped push for emancipation. If it were just blacks, it wouldn't have went anywhere. It was heterosexual people who spoke out against intolerance towards gays and lesbians. 

Because height bigotry affects short men disproportionately and no one cares about men's problems, you would need women and tall men to speak on your behalf in order for any "movement" to take root.

Why Trump winning is great for short men everywhere

I do not agree with that statement.

Trump have something that prolly anyone in here wont. So much money he can buy
anything. He made his way with honesty and money. Using this as a self motivation is just unrealistic and wrong.

I do see where you are going with it, and if you find it inspiring then good for you, really.
But i dont see other people acknowledge the general issue about shorter guys and therefore an invalid point.
thats just my view.

Man Does An Awesome Cartoon On His Life As A Short Guy!

Yup, I remember.  And all the trite sayings like "Good things come in small packages."  

Short teenage boys need wise, strong, loving, realistic advice from adults-- preferrable other short man, who can explain that "Yes, we've been saddled with a major, lifelong disadvantage.  Here are effective ways to deal with it and make the best out of the hand that you've been dealt."

I Like Being a Short Man

Where'd you find shoes with 2" heels for men

Couple talks about height and how others react to them

Kind of agree with you there. Taller guys have more wiggle room to have any body type and be accepted. As a short guy, you can't be too skinny, too muscular or too anything.

Will Short Guys Being Cucked Be A Given For Marriage 3.0

Apps like Tinder and POF mean that women can easily set their criterion to a very specific narrow range. We all know that women see 6 feet and over as the Golden Range. We also know that women are more likely to have one nighters and ongoing flings with men they find very attractive with height being a given there.

Do you think Short Guys who get married are destined to a life of being in a constant state of cuckdom?
