[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that being very short as a man is something of a burden, in that many women won't date them, and some mean people would crack jokes about them.   Just like being very fat as a woman.  Or being very tall (over 6 feet) for a woman.  Or being an amputee.  Or having a very low IQ (for a man, at least).  Or having severe burns on your face.  Or a large port wine stain on your face.  I could go on.  Nobody has a perfect body, or a perfect life. [/quote]

Most of what you describe is sizeism, which is just as bad if not worse, than racism.[/quote]

I mean, I wouldn't say it's worse than racism, no, it's just not wanting to be romantically involved with someone with X physical feature.  Everyone has things that they are physically unattracted to in someone else.  A very short man is a common one.  So is a fat woman (a SUPER common one). So is a very tall woman.  So are large birthmarks on the face, or physical disabilities such as having a prosthetic leg or arm.  People are not required to be attracted to everybody.  My only beef with the OP is that she seems to think being  a short man is, like, THE thing that people shy away from when it comes to dating, when it's just one of many, many attributes that people shy away from.  It doesn't mean that a short man isn't going to get married and have kids if he wants.  Or sleep around if he wants. It just means his pool won't be 100% of women.  Nobody's pool is 100% of women. Cry me a river. [/quote]
