Re: Why do women mock short men? Thread Starter

With all of the global women's movements toward equality - women's suffrage, feminism, calling out pay disparities, body acceptance, why then do women turn around and mock men who don't meet their or society's standards? Isn't it bizarre? Like I could go out and make fun of fat women and then be chastised for it, but then they could mock short men at work or in social settings and be cheered on for it.

Why of all people would women engage in or encourage this behavior?

I chose a career area that would place me in a work environment peopled only by women and professional, highly educated men. So, I purposely don't have to deal with what you are about to encounter. I'm only 5'4" and am, admittedly, overly sensitive about my height thanks to a lot of teasing in my formative years. I purposely use my wit and charm to attract people to me, and I am gracious and kind. People respond back positively and like and respect me. I've achieved a lot of success in my professional role by ignoring the height issue and just functioning in my roles in spite of it. Being around mostly women helps out a lot, since that keeps me away from the arenas filled with big swaggering men who would enjoy poking fun at me. I walk with a very confident, strident, determined air, so people assume that I am confident and competent. I strongly recommend that you arm yourself with a lot of good information (books, websites like this and Short Support) and moral support from people who care about you. That will make a world of difference in how you handle the challenges of functioning around big, competitive men.

Keep up the discussion here. The rest of us can be a support for you.

Which field do you work in? I work in Accounting and my co workers praise me for my work, but give me a hard time for my height in social settings.

She did NOT want to be married to a large, imposing, intimidating man so she chose me. I was looking for a woman who would appreciate me for all my other good qualities. Work on finding that kind of relationship. BTW-- both our sons are in the normal height range, much to my relief.

Did you ever have the feeling that she would lose interest and fall for a taller guy at anytime during those 32 years, or did she ever throw your height in your face?

Re: What are the chances of short becoming a future fad? Thread Starter

You see this happening? Everyone is getting taller, so being short would be kind of novelty. Everyone has brown hair and a smaller percentage of the population has blue eyes, so everyone goes crazy over blue eyes. With less men "short", do you see any chance of shorter guys being viewed in the same way blue eyes are?... as in a favorable trait?
