well im glad some people are aware of this issue. I left my first job becuase women would make comments about my height saying there kid is taller than me and he is 12-14 years-old. They didn`t even know me. its all good though cause all my homeboys no i`m short but know if they ask me" hows the weather down there" ill show it to them.

p.s short girls are hot

@abh123bh wasnt stalin 5 ft7 and in that time of age the average was 5ft8 so basically he is average?

Heightism is a mutually accepted bias. I think it is another form of racism or eugenics.

Are these HK students? Their English so good!

Don't worry short guys, if you ain't tall enough, you are too skinny, too fat, too tall, too dark, to pale, too superifical, too poor, too cruel, too quiet or whatver! All women should just go lesbian since women understand each other perfectly anyway, right?
