That's bullshit though. That's simply not how short men are viewed by women. Do you really want to know what the very few women actually say stupid shit like "no one under 6ft" think about short men?

Almost certainly nothing. If they're not interested in shorter men, they probably don't devote an awful lot of time to thinking about them.

Height impaired men are frequent targets for mockery and derision by the Stacy community.


No they aren't. There's no such thing as a Stacy community. Large groups of women are not bothering to talk about you or laugh about you behind your back.
As an editor I seam to spend an awful lot of thyme going threw issues and checking that they're no oblivious errars. Its a tough job but someone's got too do it!

The public is not "usually composed of women." The public is both sexes. Maybe men care more about what women think, but the public is still both sexes.

Height discrimination is real, but your OP is getting way ahead of itself spinning a narrative without waiting for the facts to catch up with you.

A lot of women do prefer tall guys. I personally don't and every time I've been disappointed with a guy's size it was because they were too big and I felt like I was getting smothered. My advice to anyone that thinks he's not getting laid because he's too short would be to try different approaches and understand that women don't all want the same thing. If you're not built like Arnold Schwarzenegger, don't waste your time chasing after women that want a guy who looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Find a woman that is looking for something else.

Isn't there though? It's far easier for women to find sexual partners than it is for men.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Women are judged on their appearance almost constantly. The various tabloid magazines that tell women to lose weight/gain weight/dress differently etc. are evidence of that.

Now we can certainly argue to what extent men also are placed under similar scrutiny and pressure - however to say that women simply aren't judged for anything other than having a hairstyle is clearly bollocks.

Usually it's other women doing the judging, though. So that kind of sounds like a "you" problem.

If you’re using the incel community to back up yours, you’ve failed. Ever heard of “echo chamber”? You won’t accept any source we give you, something tells me. So maybe now’s a good time to ask: if both women and men deal with this all the time, why are you exacerbating the issue? Why are you intentionally mocking short men, when you’re supposed to be coming to their defense?

I know you won’t answer these questions in good faith, so I’ll ask a better question: How would you know if the black pill were wrong? How would you know if the assumptions you’ve made about women are incorrect?

It's a reasonably complex, messy mix of both men and women mate. Point is, the idea that society doesn't judge women by their looks is basically not true.

I'm guessing it's like a club for women called Stacy. Maybe they play poker. Stacy sounds like the name of someone who'd be good at cards for some reason.

So what? No one is entitled to a sexual partner, period. Everyone is entitled to make a free choice over their own body and sexual autonomy, and to choose sexual partners based on whatever criterion they wish. If you get less than others, tough, it doesn't make the world unfair.

You don’t have to answer it right now, and I apologize if I’ve been overly rude, but I want you to think about where your assumptions come from. We can’t have that discussion unless you’re willing to come down out of the cloud of rhetoric you’re in right now and actually answer questions.

Its necessary for a healthy society for people to have sex. But it is not necessary for a healthy society for every single individual to have an 'equal opportunity' to have as many sexual partners as everyone else. That's not a thing. Society can move on if Person A gets laid easier than Person B.

There are ways you can pursue that other than fighting for shallow people to stop being shallow, like being social in a meaningful way. I know you don’t like that advice, but people can feel good intent in conversation, especially meaningful ones. You might not get all the fish, but you don’t need all the fish.

What? Since when? Sexual partners judge other sexual partners for their appearance, period. You need to decide whether someone is attractive to you before you consent to sleep with them, which by definition involves judgment. I don't see why you're making such a big deal out of this.

I'm aware that anecdotal evidence isn't evidence, but frankly if we're just talking about sex then it is possible for more or less anyone to get laid. Maintaining a healthy romantic relationship is of course significantly harder.

If we're just talking about getting laid, then one of the most "successful" people I know for that is roughly 5ft 5 and while he's not bad looking, isn't exactly a supermodel. What he is though is very confident and very good at listening to people. He also has a rather cheerful lack of shame and will hit on anyone. He would probably hit on a sack of spuds if you drew a nice face on it.

If you are trying and failing to get laid, then the odds are good it's not your looks holding you back.

Cool, if only it was just one person.

You're not saying anything particularly different. You're just repeating the bodily sovereignty line.
