Forgot to add the part where she actually walks out. She just couldn't get passed his height.
I remember this episode when it was on and recently came across it again. I thought I'd share.
The show's premise is that people will get to know others in a dark room. They can't see, so all they can go off is conversation and their personalities.
This woman is an entrepreneur and is looking for a partner. They click, but she notices his short height when they dance together (in the dark.).
The video starts at 8 min and 41 sec.
The gaslighting is terrible. Imagine for a second if a man said to his girlfriend or wife that she wasn't pretty, but he loved her personality, and he had a problem with this.
Now imagine someone telling her that her mindset was terrible if she was mad about it. After all, it's what's inside that counts right?
As well as I've always done when it came to the ladies, even "I" can't act like this isn't a thing.
I too know someone this happened to. Her son is about fifteen or so and she used to talk nasty about shorter guys when she was younger. No doubt about it.
Pretty much this. When I was younger, my mother would say things like:
"Why do short men drive big cars?"
"Why do short guys always have something to prove?"
"The guy has a napoleon complex, I can't stand short dudes".
I kid you not, all of that stopped when I hit adulthood. Though when I visit and she's watchign a show where the short guy is the butt of a joke, she'll laugh hysterically until she sees me looking indifferent.
