I don't get these guys. My wife is a couple inches taller than me and it... just doesn't matter? If anything it puts my face closer to the boobies, so what's the problem?

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Guys are being spoonfed by the monosphere the narrative that if they're 1cm too short or 1kg too heavy, women immediately despise them.

It keeps them trapped in a self fulfilling cycle of despair and watching mysoginist grifter content online.

I mean, that's actually what happens though. Two weeks ago my wife and I were setting up two friends of ours on a blind date, and literally her first question was "how tall is he?" She of course got pissy when I asked what I should tell him if he asked about her weight.

The manosphere is only able to capitalize on this rhetoric because it's largely based in truth. Hashtag not all women, but enough of them for practically every guy under six feet to have a rejection story for being too short.

To act like stuff like this isn't happening to guys daily is being willfully ignorant, and not working to change this culture is only going to drive more men to the horrible people who at least acknowledge that their problems are real.

I don't get why height specifically anyway?

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I honestly don't either - it's probably just as arbitrary and socialized as boob size preferences. Maybe someone here with a background in sociology or anthropology can shed some light?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

I do wonder. It seems really important to women. Probably the whole stereotype of what a man should be, and a man being small ruins it for them instantly.

If this bunny can date a girl bunny four times its size, you can date a woman a few centimeters taller.

Bro if I could only find a woman who’s like >2m…

I would love to be the little spoon for once :(

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can be the little spoon even when you are much taller than your partner ;)

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I’m not sure it’s really spooning if she can’t bend at the hips because the end of my back is far below them and basically at the height of her knees. Not sure having to lay down completely straight is a comfortable position lol

I suppose a short girl could spoon me traditionally if she wants to be facing my lower back but that’s not really what I want either

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

When I spoon my partner, we match hips and my face is somewhere between their shoulder blades

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Okay I can’t say I wouldn’t like but I guess I really just wish someone much larger than me would cuddle with me so that I could feel small I guess or like protected? Idk it’s hard to explain

It’s called jetpacking

What I do it put my knees fully into their knees and wrap my torso around their butt, arms around their waist/low chest. I only reach half way up their back (I’m smol) but they love having my head rest against the middle of their back.

But I want a very tall person to cuddle with me so that I can feel smol :(

I know the solution....get off 4 chan

It's hard to find a community that agrees with you when you say that you are a loser.

Or when you like men who are the same height or shorter than you ... but are quite short yourself. I assume many tall heterosexual women aren't happy with their height, either.

Either way it doesn't matter if you literally never go out to meet people.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My gf is shorter than me by a a few centimeters(maybe like an inch for you americans) but she wears heels so she seems taller and thats a postitive if you ask me.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They were talking about women not liking short guys, not them not liking tall women.

Same. 2m tall and get 0 sweethearts. Therapy wasn't much help with anxiety caused by this. It is really painful, knowing that I'll be forever alone. Contemplating taking an easy way out since September.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 14 points 2 weeks ago

My partner is almost 2m tall. The have often complained that their size easily scares people off. I’m sorry about the anxiety. It sucks.

I believe the world is better with you in it. If you want to chat, I’m available.

I mean I actually got a date. So I can't be that ugly.

But I am almost definitely pretty damn autistic.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey I am ugly and autistic, and still have been in a long-term relationship for years. Some people just are into it

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

I was married for 12 years.

I made a mistake with that, so yeah. Kinda fucked myself over with it. Didnt actually start learning Bout the 'tism part until recently

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

I fail to see the problem.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

cant figure out if Annon has too much Tormund energy or not enough

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

Do people actually care about height?

[–] Saryn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's worth considering that we might not have a choice in the matter, at least as far as the subconscious is concerned.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes, especially among more shallow groups...

Although you're not allowed to talk about it, it may even be a biologically sought trait. One of those animal things we act like we evolved past.

(In before a thousand comments about this one guy being shorter disproving... Oh wait)

Yeah but Danny DeVito is charisma incarnate

Part of him being charisma incarnate is having exactly zero fucks to give about how his appearance differs from conventional attractiveness.

Part of the incel anticharisma comes from obsessing over how some facet of your appearance means never getting laid.

Turns out just being chill about shit is sexy AF.

But she's about the same height as him, and calls him "The Barnacle" due to his penis::body ratio.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

He is also well known around the world

I interpreted those as tears of pure joy and I refuse to believe any other interpretation.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago
