If it is super backward, uncool and unfair to label women as attractive or unattractive based on the complexion of their skin, why is it so ok to label short men to be unattractive? Complexion is largely a genetic attribute and not a reflection of a person’s character or lifestyle. But so is height. Yet, I see men like myself being called ugly and undesirable, to our faces directly, mocked in comedies openly everyday by many of the otherwise super- progressive folks. What the fuck. It’s not that people have to lie about what they find attractive. Yes it is a personal choice. But that’s not the issue. For one matter (color is one example), we think it’s totally uncool to mention it or use it to justify our preference; but for the other matter (height an example) it is completely fine to say it out loud as an objective and valid attribute to justify our choice. You would be missing the point if you take it as a personal one off problem that can be solved by giving me personal advice or emotional support. I am married. Happily. I changed my username just to stand for the cause. It’s not really a personal issue.
Yep total double standard
They're both not cool. People find attractive who they find attractive.
Culture. Small penises used to be seen as attractive by the greeks, Being fat was a sign of wealth and attractiveness in the Renaissance, Light and pasty skin is attractive in asian countries, Tan is attractive in the West
Why is it weird? 🤔 I see the logical similarity which was clearly presented.
I love all the short kings
In 10 to 20 years, it won’t be okay. Anyone caught saying that in the past will get called out then and have to apologize.
What a dystopian future.
What is a good height for male ?
this has become a recurring joke. women care about man's height, but if a shallower man asks the same women her weight or cup size they get offended 😂 I rather stay away from such toxic personalities
You can’t force someone to feel attracted to you bud. It sucks, but it is what it is. Let people be people and you just focus on you. I have a friend who’s 5’4 and pretty average looking (belly n everything) who scores with absolute dimes just by how extroverted he is. So there’s someone out there if you try enough and be okay with getting rejected some times.
The point is - why is it ok to say this explicitly but not when it comes to skin color? I get that attraction is a personal right. It’s not really the question.
I don’t have an answer that will satisfy you. They’re all hurtful, race just has social connotations that get tied in with slavery and bigotry that height doesn’t right now. Maybe you can advocate for how height is the main criteria used to discriminate but people just don’t see it that way right now.
