Thought I'd throw in a woman's perspective. To play devil's advocate - everyone had a preference for what they're attracted to - sometimes you just can't help it.
But I'd have to say, in my opinion, it's usually their own self confidence. Women are trained to want to feel smaller, cuter, cuddled, taken care of etc...(despite all the feminist, you-go-girl stuff) so that usually means someone taller and heavier than they are.
A woman really has to have her own confidence to date someone shorter or skinnier than her. She has to be able to really not care what anyone else is thinking and have her own confidence in herself and her partner.
How easy is that for anyone?
First, welcome to the forum. It is nice to have a woman's perspective here.
On that note, your response is the typical blame shifting response I'd expect to hear from a lot of women regarding this issue. And there's that dreaded "C" word and the "sometimes you can't just help it". There was an article on this site which calls it the "damsel in distress" response. If women are truly independent and strong, then one wouldn't "need" to break from any societal "training". Behaviorisim has largely been discredited in explaining people's actions. You are the captain of your own ship.
There is no "confidence" required. If you are attracted to a short guy, then date him. If you aren't attracted to him, then don't. Anything less than this means that you're playing puppet and are not as independent as you think you are because you care about other people's opinions. It is a great example of the red pillers who claim that women are more concerned about a man's social status (height, money, job) than anything else and that anything less than the top 20% won't do.
Michigan is the only state in the nation which has height discrimination outlawed. Massachusetts came close to passing a bill for the same.
First of all, welcome to the forum! I don't think you have anything to worry about. I can't lie and say that a lot of short guys won't feel some kind of way if they are at an event and are the shortest one there. I have always been confident about myself and never wished to be taller.
With good parenting, your kids will respect you no matter what your height is. A friend of mine is a teacher and talks about seeing children taller than their dads all of the time (particularly with immigrant parents).
Perhaps a joke may fly around from time to time (which may or may not be cool depending on your personality), but if you give them every reason to be proud of their dad, it won't matter how tall you are. Being that we live in a heightist society, your kids may even respect you MORE when they become adults.
Again, welcome to the forum. Hope you see you here a lot!
Did you begin working out? I find that at my height, my ripped body still gets lots of attention.
