Tall Culture
post #1

I hate the US's tall culture. Everywhere on TV you see TALL.

Tall models, tall athletes, tall everybody.

People see all this nonsense and think absurd things like "6'0 is short"

Average height is much better than tall.

Short guys have some advantages over tall guys such as a longer life expectancy.

It's deeply ingrained in Anglo culture.

Thats gonna be a tiugh battle to fight. The better one is to also cast the perception that being short isnt horrible. That notion is far more dangerous and scary to short men. Kids take dangerous hormones to make sure they arent going to be short. Parents think it is so horrific that they choose to do this. Now that perception shouldnt be as difficult to change since its sooo insane.

mrpro1, if you were put in charge of changing this ugly social stigma, how would you change it?
