Some of these guys make it seem like they have no prospects because they’re like 5’7 or whatever .

Do you actually feel this way?

Honestly myself im 6’1 and my 5’8 pal gets way more attention from women than me.

Of course thats anecdotal, but.

    never and i don’t know anyone who’s had that experience either

    also imo it’s not a moral failing for someone to be more attracted to tall people and it’s kinda cringe to get hung up on that. not everyone has to be into you.

      okay struggle session time “straight men having body image insecurities is cringe” is NOT a good take - nearly everyone wants to be desired in some way or another and feeling bad that your genetics is keeping you from that - whether or not it’s materially true - is valid and very decidedly not cringe.

      also, I’m shocked that you don’t even know anyone who has found it harder to date as a shorter man, I’ve heard this extremely frequently

        i’m not shaming straight men for having body insecurities, i’m specifically talking about the kind of people who treat others (usually straight men against women) having any sort of personal preference as a personal attack or character flaw on their part. like, we all have things that we find attractive or not and it’s not something we just decide on.

        i see people in this very thread saying that people who care about height are bad should be avoided anyway. like wtf? as if you all don’t have your own concept of what’s attractive that not everyone can adhere to?
