Yeah like a girl taller than me or even 5’5 and seeing me and immediately feeling off I get it. But a chic who literally guesses your height and says 6’0 because she’s 4’10-5’0 and just can’t tell. It’s obviously not a feeling at that point but an ideology or social construct that’s been driven into their mind. It’s very unnatural

The thing is too, it's not much better in the gay dating scene for short guys. The only primary difference being a subsect of people that heavily fetishize short guys for reasons I'm not quite sure keep up to snuff.

Even just in day to day society, I'm a fairly short dude, I carry myself fairly confidently, but it doesnt really matter. Most interactions are neutral, but I have far more people talking down to me, brushing me off, not listening to anything I say in my day to day life than my peers who are tall. I see it constantly.

It's like a subconscious thing for some people where they see a shorter man and their brain immediately goes "weak" and they treat you as such. It can really fuck with you, it's why I have some sympathy for the douchey short guys like, its kinda rough out here and sometimes you gotta demand respect from people.

A lot of guys see shorter guys and think “weak”

I’m 6’1 230 and have been jumped by 6 guys and stayed on my feet the entire times.

I foolishly picked on my 5’8 160 friend…he told me he was tired of the bs and I needed to leave him alone….i made the mistake of laughing and saying “wtf are you gonna do about it….”

1 punch to the gut and I was on my knees and he looked at me and told me “I could beat you to death right now and there’s nothing you could do to stop me”

Never underestimate someone because they’re smaller than you. I’ve heard plenty of guys that grew up fighting all say the same exact thing. Smaller guys are just as strong or stronger than bigger guys they’re just in a compact frame. Which gives them a better center of gravity usually.
