I personally heard on more than couple of occassions where women would refer to being short as being a “red” flag.
I also know a couple who fights really a lot until cops had to intervene at one point and order restraining orders. Apparently the guy being super tall as the sole reason why their relationship is a thing
Used to also get hit on frequently in said job by drunk women (usually).
Most times forgettable, but this one time this 5’2 girl in 4’ heels came up to me as I was signing her in and, unprompted, went “you know you’re so attractive I’d totally date you…if only you were just like 4 inches taller”.
My friend is 5’6” on a good day, he was talking to a girl at a bar, she told him how incredibly hot he is, but she can’t even consider him because he’s too short…
I’m 5’7. Did it to myself in jr high. Two girls a grade above me who were much taller than me were super into me, I told them I wasn’t tall enough. Lmao
I’m pretty short, just over 5’3″, but I’m very confident. I think the most I’ve faced as an adult was someone asking if I needed help with the top shelf at a store I was working at, if that. I can say I really haven’t had any discrimination. I don’t attract the attention of a 6’3″ person, but I get in where I fit in.
I’m not sure I could pinpoint an instance. I think it doesn’t happen intentionally (except for dating) as much as the necessary byproduct of the deference to tall men. So maybe no one after high school will dunk on you for being short, but it’s no coincidence the default picture of a leader is “tall and imposing”. I know my place so I’m not sure I’ll ever ask a woman out. I’m 100% sure that, if I did, I’d be able to write something more concrete here.
Some kitchens were simply not made for me which is weird because I’m like average woman height so it’s a man’s world I guess.
Realistically height discrimination isn’t that big of a thing outside extreme examples though I’ve been turned away from a job because apparently I wouldn’t be able to handle the workload with my stature asit would be dangerous cited as the reason. I’m not that tiny and all my jobs have been physically demanding and I’m trained for manual handling if something is too dangerous for me it’s too dangerous full stop. Also it’s hospitality what the hell would I be doing that is that dangerous to a short person?
It’s mostly just small, annoying stuff from other dudes.
How fast they are to square up in any minor disagreement compared to bigger guys I know. Not actually start a fight I mean, the stance/body language is very different and default confrontational.
How often an in person session will turn have people turn to a taller but junior coworker while the same thing has never happened in conference calls when they can’t see the height difference.
I’ve never seen bigger guys deal with the lack of personal bubble they’ll treat smaller guys with, shouldering through them when it’s crowded, sidewalk chicken or the whole head as an armrest “joke” in egregious cases.
I’m aware I’m not every woman’s cup of tea but I never had issues getting a date or anything. I’m not worried about that.
The covid thing made it really obvious whem everything went from in person to video calls. A lot of little things shifted when it was the same face, same voice, same presentation, etc… but the physical presence (or rather lack thereof) was equalized.
I’m 5’6 and I’ve racked up a 30+ bed post number. It’s not your height, it’s your entire presence and personality. My experience is that you need to kiss a few donkeys to get some nice ponies. Women like guys who are confident, and have things going on that don’t include them. Women need to feel jealous and excluded to feel interest in you. Start small and build up.
Im at average height (5ft 10) and I was short as a kid/ most of teens. Typical short jokes but that was about it.
However when I got back on the dating scene after 2 years of a relationship it was the first time I was ever rejected as an adult for being “too short” by a few different women. Then I discovered a certain genre on tiktok. Made sense then.
Lmao when I was a sophomore in high school I asked out a girl and we both went to a quincenera and it was pretty fun and then the next day she broke up with me because she was taller than me in heels XD. It stung for like 3 days but it helped me easily use it as a way to filter out the undesirable personalities so all in all a positive.
For me, the most annoying experience I’ve had, being a 5’6″, is the ongoing fact that people automatically don’t take me as seriously because I’m shorter. There seems to be this weird psychology where someone taller than you carries more authority or is believed easier than a shorter person.
Being 6’5 and people always assuming height equals strength and using me as a piece of organic lift equipment until I break.
And I have indeed broken from this and man, the reticule they dish out once that happens on top of them simply hand waving my injuries away and insisting I do what they ask of me anyway.
I had a female housemate for a couple of years. Completely platonic. Overall, things were fine, but apparently the fact that she lived with a male housemate was a thing with her family and they kept making her feel weird about it. One day she was like, “Yeah, my mom asked me again if you and I are together, and I had to tell her NO. In any case, I don’t ever date short guys like you, so I told her that.”
Yeah, apparently, the fact that I was shorter than her was the reason her family immediately believed that we weren’t a couple.
Strangely enough, I’ve been rejected a few other times by taller girls, but that one has stuck with me the most, even though it wasn’t even a dating situation!

I have never experienced height discrimination, and I’m only like 5’6.
Men put way too much emphasis on height.

Used to work in a casino as a receptionist.
Used to also get hit on frequently in said job by drunk women (usually).

I’m 5’8”.
My friend is 5’6” on a good day, he was talking to a girl at a bar, she told him how incredibly hot he is, but she can’t even consider him because he’s too short…
Is this a question about short men or just men under 6ft?
If it’s the latter then I have no time for American men & your insecurities

I’ve found, in my personal experience, it really doesn’t exist outside of dating apps.
I see it almost everyday.

The woman who is now my wife almost didn’t go out with me because I’m a few inches shorter than her.

Probably when a lady told me she liked me but she didn’t want to be seen in public with me because I was shorter than her.
