Heightism
Is heightism worse than racism when it comes to dating?
post #1

White men tend to have it the easiest in the dating world when it comes to dating for various reasons. If you take the average Asian male, however, they tend to be below 5'7. Do women swear off Asian men all together because of this? I know some white, black, ect men in America who only date Asian women but I never heard of the same deal the other way around.

Do you mean this just for white men? If we look at statistics, only 2% of marriages with white women are with non-white men and this basically means that a shorter non-white male will have an even harder time finding a mate with a white women who prefers the average 6' male.

I think men and women tend to want to date with in their own race because it is most framiliar to themselves. Have you ever heard of the ideal mate being most like you? there ya go.

I would say it is because you can be a minority who is also short which means you are a bigger target to some groups or people. Get what I mean?

This. But racism effects people of all heights, backgrounds, and so on where heightism only effects men of a certain height or below.

I mean as a whole. Like based on what we know with racism and hate against shorter men. You don't see races being made fun of on TV anymore but you see short men still being a joke.

They don't all only want tall men. 

Anyway, racism is worse. I won't date a black woman tall or short. They do try though.

Yet they will cry "racism" or "colorism" when you express this preference. If you speak about about "heightism" they will laugh it off. Color and height are two things we can't change about ourselves. I could give a duck's ass if a woman isn't interested in me because I am short, but don't give me some sob story if I am not interested in fat women, black women, whatever.

I'm black and have no issues dating though I am short. I'm also not attracted to black women but get a lot of flack for it. Short and tall women gravitate to tall men, and black and non black men gravitate to non black women.
