Why is it still acceptable to reject men shorter than you?

[Anonymous]

This should stop now, men are more than just height objects and yet that's quite literally the only requirement nowadays.

[Anonymous]

And why is it unacceptable? Because it isn’t “fair”?

[Asker]

Because it's senseless, irrational and bigoted.

[Opinion Owner]

Why?

[Opinion Owner]

What about is is irrational? Or senseless? Just be honest, you as a short person don’t think it’s fair. Life’s not fair sir.

[Asker]

Because someone's immutable traits have nothing to do with their ability to be able to attract you if just given the opportunity.

[Asker]

I don't know, it seems pretty fair to a lot of women and a lot of tall men

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe not but it is what it is dude. People also don’t like too fat, too skinny, gapped teeth, poor hygiene, etc etc etc. It’s a waste of time to condemn those preferences just because we don’t agree with them.

[Asker]

Too fat can be fixed, gapped teeth can be fixed, poor hygiene can be fixed, which is why it should be valid to reject solely for those things, not immutable traits.

Limb lengthening is definitely a dangerous but doable surgery, that’s not my point here though. I’m not talking about “fixing” anything, I’m talking about people and their preferences.

[Asker]

Preferences are one thing, I'm not fighting people's preferences. Requirements are different, that's what I'm fighting.

[Opinion Owner]

Should the average person be required to date people who are severely on the spectrum?

[Asker]

I didn't say required to date them! But not deny them a chance. That's not the same as being required to date them. That's at least giving them the benefit of the doubt and hearing what they have to offer, opposed to rejecting them on the spot.

[Opinion Owner]

You said requirements are different and that’s what you’re fighting, so what do you mean by that?

[Asker]

Exactly, requirements are denying someone an opportunity or not even giving them a chance to talk. it's the same thing.

[Opinion Owner]

Okay, so are you just saying that more people should give short men a chance? Otherwise I’m not sure why you throw the word requirement around if that’s not what you’re implying. In any case I see a lot of short men with tall women. It could be about your look and personality for all you know.

[Nikki1989]

It is acceptable to reject men for any reason.

[Asker]

Not when they're immutable characteristics.

[RebelinSteel]

They don’t reach the bar

[Asker]

Yes they do.

[RebelinSteel]

Nah they walk under it, that’s the thing with being short.

[Asker]

No, that's just your and the rest of society's perception.

[RebelinSteel]

No it was set to 5’8 and they literally walked under it

You seem like a fuckwit.
