Every video i've ever watched where it's someone going around interviewing girls off the streets, asking if they'd ever date someone shorter than them, etc. They always giggle. They're like hyenas on laughing gas. Constantly giggling through every question. It's almost as if they know what they're saying is complete horseshit, but they just can't bring themselves to admitting it. I've seen the same kind of videos where men are interviewed, and there is seriously a lot less giggling going on. If a man wouldn't date a fat chick, he'd just say no or yes with honesty. I've seen women interviewed about other things, such as do you prefer pepsi or coke products, and there's a lot less "hehehehehehehehe" going on after every question. If a woman was asked if she'd ever date a black man, would she giggle? Fat guys? I know not all women are the same, and some don't giggle when asked if they'd date a short guy, and some might giggle if they were asked about any other dating preference, but I feel like the majority of women asked if they'd date a shorter man are more likely to giggle furiously. Any one else ever noticed this?

Yep. It's the total "hands caught in the cookie jar" effect. That nervous laughter is pretty much the visceral reaction of those women for being caught red-handed for something they think they will never have to answer for. That's not the entire story though because one of the reasons fighting heightism is so difficult is because everyone is indoctrinated to always look at short men as "comical." So, when asked if they would date a short man, the women react as if someone just asked them if they'd date a guy who lives his life as a circus clown. People don't take us seriously as men, so it's borderline hilarious for women to ponder what it would be like dating a short man. They don't want to date us because they've been programmed to look at us as goofy doofuses, and they also get uncomfortable giggle fits when they are expected to explain themselves on camera because they know that they are being called-out, but at the same time, they 100% know that they fully-believe that they "deserve better" than a short man.

I would tend to agree; however I don't think that the effect of the media in shaping people's attitudes toward short men should be overlooked. This silly "giggling" may not be so common without the psychological influence of the major media and their depictions of short men, which by the way are getting worse all the time. The quest for "BIG" has increased incredibly over the course of the last 40 years with the advent of steroids, WWE (formerly , larger and taller heavyweight boxers, the quest for increasing size among bodybuilders, etc. AND the media promoting Tall or BIG men raises womens' height AND size requirements I think. Agree with all of that, except heavyweights haven't been the most popular class in boxing in years. Welterweights have taken over since the beginning of the Mayweather era. Most welterweights are in the 5'7-5'9 range, but even though they have the most interesting matchups these days, people still take them with "a grain of salt" so to speak heightismreport.tumblr.com/day/2015/06/23 |
