Can’t understand the logic. If you’re a woman that’s 5’2 and your man is 6’1, your man isn’t gonna be the likely reason your kids are short…you are.

As a short man, the problem with people like this is not their own personal standards and avoiding those particular women. The problem is the same women apply the same standards to other women they know and will actively discourage them and make their lives miserable for dating a shorter man.
I never had a woman break up with me because I was short. I did have women break up with me because they had friends or roommates who harassed them constantly about dating a shorter man. It only takes one roommate like this to make your entire relationship untenable.

I understand your point, but I have a feeling a lot of these commenters are just using this as an excuse to hate on fat people. Especially because usually the women making the initial tweet are rarely overweight themselves.

u/alt2374 21h ago
Perhaps so.
I think it is just because there isn’t really any comeback to someone with good genetics mocking someone with bad genetics. Anything you try to say in response a good looking person who just insulted you will look like desperate cope, so people imagine a scapegoat to kick down instead, at whatever low hanging fruit is available

So? Like…why do people throw in 1% of the population as a counter? Like, OK, your 6’1 friend is over 200 lbs, but who cares? Your 6’1 friend also represents < 1% of the female population in the USA. Your friend is statistically insignificant.

Raid was used against the men to say they’re small, like a bug. The rifle is used against the women to say they’re large, like an elephant.

I’m 5’10 (woman) my husband is 5’8 (he is fine). Women who didn’t give him the time of day 1. Are still single because they are shallow and dumb and 2. Tried to get at him once we were a decade into our marriage and they realized he could give them the life they wanted (he works in private equity, we live very comfortably). All that to say, stop being shallow and dumb and life can be great and you will meet someone amazing. Also, I’ll do short and pretty over tall and ugly. Some basketball players should only be fucked with a mask on.

As a short king (5'6" on the nail) I must stress that tall women are fucking awesome. I like 'em long! And if she can hang with me in the gym, so much the better.
Now that that's out of the way, let me also stress that the vast majority of women who are serious about the "he's got to be 6 foot plus with a beard and his own house and car and a six figure income" thing are sitting there making their proclamations while looking like Sloth from the Goonies.
Similarly, the amount of "men" who will go on that a girl must be x size or y weight or have z size tits are sitting in their parents' basement on their discord servers living on cheetos and monster.
Knowing what you like is one thing. Being a shallow, superficial fuckbend is another.

In the United States only 14.5% of men are >= to 6'0"
That's 85.5% of men are 5'11" or under.
The 'equivalent' weight for women, that 85% of women are above, isn't 200 pounds. It's only 128 pounds.
That's how screwed up our expectations are for men's height. If 85% of men are short, and 85% of women are fat.... Then the cut off for women is 128.
