This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do people actually care about height?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Yes. Your height is a huge factor in your social appeal and status.

Taller people are considered more attractive, get paid more, and generally have positive biases associated with them. Short people have negative ones.

it's further biased when it comes to female to male selection. men don't care so much about women's height, but women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner.

what????

Short people have negative [biases associated with them]

among school bullies and manosphere idiots

Taller people [...] get paid more

this definitely isn't true (Technically it is, but height is not the cause, sex is)

women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner

seems like a harmful and untrue stereotype

men don’t care so much about women’s height

also seems like a harmful stereotype, also personally as a {idk if man or agender} i do kinda prefer tall women, but as @daggermoon@lemmy.world said, "I mean, I have a preference but it’s not even a determining factor for me. I care much more about what kind of person they are."
