I think they’re doing this to appear as if being short isn’t all that bad.
This is seriously frustrating. I see this happen a lot in r/short. Always positive about having girlfriends, more money, and having better muscles. This somehow causes a lot of tall guys turn to insulting short men and trying to “belittle” them. Calling them manlets and such. Then, get this... even the tallers still want to be a few inches taller which is ridiculous. Some 6’4” tall idiot said he wanted to be a few inches taller. What the HELL is wrong with these people???
Then there is this HUGE, UNDENIABLE heightism in the media and everyone is trying to jump into fantasy land that no man under 5’6” exists. If they do exist, then they first have to be extremely unhealthy, ugly, fat, bald, and unsuccessful to even be acceptable in the media. It’s almost as if handsome, fit man with full head of hair who is short is not allowed. This really gets on my nerves.
Because of the media’s horribly skewed perceptions on short men, thousands of short men seem to try really hard to make sure that being short as a man is just as great as being a tall man. We cannot blame them for that. We must focus on the negativity that comes from heightists. We must also make sure other short men are seeing this as a problem. If they deny, then keep proving it to them. Proving it to those short men who are married, rich, and good looking would feel like a waste of time, but we gotta open their eyes and seek for their help.
Problem with this is short men don’t like to get any help, cuz it somehow makes them feel inadequate, I think. I feel this way a lot of times. It’s quite confusing, too. Them not getting any help sounds somewhat badass and masculine, like how Alpha it is or whatever, but I think it’s time we drop that bullshit and get this heightism known. We don’t have another 10 years to wait around.
The media keeps shoving down our throats to make tall men seem like perfect angels from the heavens. Thousands and thousands of women are displayed looking up to their dreamy tall guys. I don’t remember seeing a girl falling in love or getting dreamy about a man shorter than her. EVER.
The sidekicks in almost every tv show, films, cartoons, games, and comic books were almost always seen a few inches shorter than the main characters. This is the fault of a lot of men out there, actually, because they like to imagine themselves being ultra huge with big muscles all over, which is unrealistic in real life. They need to stop this madness and try their best by taking short men more seriously in the media now.
Romantic films need to start making short men the main characters AND TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. Make them sexy, smart, successful, and things like that. Make sure women actually dream about short men, and for god’s sake, stop making short men ALWAYS taller than the girl. Make sure some girls are taller than him, and make sure they’re still girls who are taller than them. This, I believe, would help break the sex symbols on heights (short=girl/tall=man). Also, stop making short men seem like jokers all time. Just stop, stop, stop.
