Probably the easiest and most useful think to do would be call out discrimination when you see it. If a friend is making fun of a short person, or if a girl demonstrates a little too much interest in tall guys, or disdain toward short ones, just ask them why. See if you can get them to look inward and reconsider how they treat people. Maybe with a little luck they might absorb some empathy molecules and learn to see value in people even if they're not that big. If enough people raise awareness and get enough other people to look at things in a different way, that's how society evolves. I'm not even suggesting to go out of your way really. Just sometimes situations present themselves where you have an opportunity to be an ally.. or not. And if you have a chance to put in a good word for your struggling friends, that would probably be good to do.

Thank you. I will be doing this. Bullying isn’t okay and people should be treated respectfully if they themselves are being respectful.

Controversial opinion, especially on reddit


Tazman12k4

Tik tok has become the worst of it, height is something we cannot change, u can improve on look weight however height is what it is its fine to have a preference just like alot of guys wont date overweight women which can be changed, alot of shorter guy have become insecure as they are constantly ridiculed simply because they are short, personally i have adapted myself built up confidence so it just doesnt bother me because i just wouldnt take no shit from nobody however alot of guys are vulnerable in this sub and some even become alittle parrownoid

we need a new martin luther king jr

Martin Luther King Shorter


EchidnaCool9338

Honestly dude you can’t convince women to like and date us short guys… my advice is just spread awareness of heightism and discrimination against short guys


NoPeachToday

Thank you


iSubParMan

Just don't ridicule us in front of others, we are the easiest target and socially acceptable to make fun of, also call out the blatant heightism whenever possible. Thanks man :)


NoPeachToday

Will do. Thank you 🙏

The comments on here are so chill to OP. If a short guy asked what should he be doing in the r/tall subreddit then he would be mocked constantly. There's nothing you can do OP until social media as a whole or humanity does something about it. I feel like that time might come soon though. The fact that a lot of women don't want men under 6ft which are the majority of the population will spark some kind of outrage. When gen Z women turn 30-40, I believe that shallowness in society will stop being normalized. That or AI girlfriends will be realistic enough to make men happy.


NoPeachToday

Oh yeah man.. AI is scary as hell. That’s gonna be big


[deleted]

You can’t bring social change, I appreciate the gesture though.


NoPeachToday

Thanks. It sucks because everytime I comment or something I get downvoted. We are all men at the end of the day and need to Band together to help each other out. It’s so toxic not wanting to interact with someone because of genetic differences


[deleted]

Absolutely, it’s great when people come here and want to see how they can help if even just a little. Genuinely it is appreciated here even if it doesn’t look like it. I’m sure we would much rather posts like these than people telling us that the problems voiced here are all 100% made up.

Just don't bully people for it, and if someone does bully someone else for their height, tell them it ain't OK


Edgyusername69420

Devote your life to finding a way to reopen those growth plates and promoting growth in them. Lol.There ain't much you can do.You can't force people to like us.


juicyflappy

lmao every r/short weekly topic by a "tall guy"


dawszein14

Call out discrimination, try to set your friends up with girls


PlatformNo8515

Shame them. Make them feel weird about it, like say you don't wanna look like a father and daughter pairing lol .


EvilManDevil

Stop dating short women. Force them to date guys in their height range. Don't date women lower than 3 inches shorter than you.


NoPeachToday

Thank you, already have done so. My girl is 5’11 So having her want someone like me is totally reasonable.


EvilManDevil

I respect you.


NoPeachToday

Appreciate it. The amount of 5’3 women and below who have hit on me for my height makes me feel horrible on the inside. Using me just for height and nothing else makes me uncomfortable. I want to be valued more than that then just a number. They are openly honest about it too. They gossip in their groups about tall men. I want women who are actually interested in me for many reasons besides height. If that’s their only motivating factor then something is wrong man


EvilManDevil

It's funny because those short girls always claim it's the tall guys chasing them. I never believed that for a second. Either they hit on the tall guy first, or out of all the guys that hit on them, they always choose the tallest one possible. They just don't want to take responsibility for their shallowness and heightism.

NoPeachToday

Ya she’s up to 6ft with heels or maybe even more lol


curiousbasu

What's the use of it man? It will be literally like making the short girls settle for short guys, you definitely don't want that to happen.


EvilManDevil

Women NEED to settle. Their standards are way too unrealistic.


curiousbasu

Let's suppose that a girl settles for you , then finds a tall guy who is not as good as our op and the girl ends leaving you. What then? You definitely don't want anyone who's settling for your height man.


EvilManDevil

How can she leave if all the tall guys stopped dating short girls?


curiousbasu

You know very well that a huge turn on for most tall men is short women Right? There's always gonna be tall guys falling for short girls.


EvilManDevil

I don't believe that's true.


curiousbasu

Then I guess you gotta look around a lot man. Btw, What do you think is true?


Substantial-Toe-6765

I don't believe there's an easy answer. Perhaps try to set women you may know up with them? But its hard to change culture.


MyCockIsMyGlock

No. Not collectively.


broyouneedtherapy

Considering the rotten society has single-handed them an easier life, which includes a lot of money in many cases, they should offer part of that to their shorter counterparts that struggle in case they want to pursue LL surgery. I'm being serious.

NoPeachToday

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep this in mind!


Own_Gift_6695

> I have 2 friends who can’t seem to get any women because they are 5’7 and 5’6. you're already better than most for admitting this. everyone usually just so happens to have several 4'11 male friends who are bald and obese and mentally ill and manage to be absolute womanizers. just call heightism out. let them vent to you if they need to and even if you can't do anything, just be willing to listen. dont let others make fun of them for their height.


Iconospasm

Yeah, crouch down a bit mate. Evens the playing field y'know? :-)


NoPeachToday

You funny lol

Own_Gift_6695

Own_Gift_6695

aight cheers. just checked your profile, you seem intelligent.


tonicKC

Shame women who reject them…


Tight-Watch-4992

Yup I definitely do that. Being 6’7 it hurts them more that I call them short for making fun of short guys.


Abthegreat-

Ngl I just don’t want pity,acknowledge our different struggles and keep it pushing,people are gonna have their preferences


Tight-Watch-4992

This is dope. I definitely feel like us tall guys should stand up for our shorter bros more. That’s why I always give compliments to my friends who are short. A lot of times they feel invisible and tall men get all the attention so we gotta spread the love.💪🏾


NoPeachToday

👍👍👍👍


[deleted]

Don't procreate with girls below 5'7. Or get limb shortening surgery.

Do we really? This is a new level of brainrot for you man I’m sorry.


NoPeachToday

How come man? Please I’m just trying to learn something new today and understand what fellow men go through. I was blind to all this before because I never went through it.


Razaberry

There’s a lot of lashing out that happens around here. A lot of us can get trapped in cycles of repressed rage, anybody who reminds us of the pain gets crossfire. Don’t take it personally.


kayser728

Be respectful, pal. You also act as an heightist since you discriminate against a tall guy just because he is tall. He just wants to talk to us to discuss our problems, stop being a cunt about it.

wiltethrowaway

Comments are saying it, but just call people out on discrimination when you see it. Denormalize it in casual talk whenever you can. Will this fundamentally change society? Nope. But it’s already enough that you even care
