Who has it worse in dating?

[verknallt]

Short men

Overweight women

I will say who someone is on the inside matters most. Yes, there is exceptions to the rule but 9.9/10 being overweight is a personal choice but being short isn’t.

There are women who do not mind dating men who are short or even shorter then they are. People are allowed to have standards so when you’re rejected just move on and find someone who won’t. If you see someone as superficial for rejecting you then…. Be glad they did because you wouldn’t want someone like that anyways they more or less did you a favor.

But I will say there is someone for (almost) everyone. Seek QUALITY of attention not QUANTITY…. Major difference. People who get a large quantity of attention it isn’t always by the best people.

Statistics don’t lie: short men have it the hardest of any demographic.


Overweight women will come under a lot lf scrutiny and will be repulsive to the attractive guys who have options.
But if willing to settle, they can have their pick of whoever’s left


Short men don’t even get the leftovers.
Because the most repulsive of women can still find herself an average sized “settler”


Sadder still: weight is a curable illness.
Height is terminal

Neither one the one who has it worse is the one who won't go and find a date

Honestly there is so much hate for plus sized women, and men too, but I see lots of it aimed at women. I'm sure short guys have a hard time too. But I can't imagine it being harder for them then it is for plus sized women

There is a lot of hate directed at both to be honest, but there are a couple of things that make it much worse for short guy is that.

1. the public doesn't take discrimination and hate towards short men seriously, it's mostly justified because "it's just a preference" but may god forbid one man says a single negative thing about a woman's weight, he will be canceled immediately.
2. only extreme cases of obesity receive much hate, women who are slightly overweight "chubby" are actually preferred by some men. On the other hand, even men who are just slightly below 6ft get judged for their height too.
3. Men can't fix their height, but women can, at least in most cases.

Short men. At least some men will still be willing to get with a fat woman, AND she can do something about it, unless there's some medical condition involved. A man can't change his height though.

Short men do fine, overweight women get hateful, nasty comments from literally everyone about who they are as people

[verknallt]

"overweight women get hateful, nasty comments from literally everyone"

There are thousands of videos on the Internet of women insulting/degrading

And it's not even limited to extreme cases like 5'6 or so, even men who are 5'10 get a lot of hateful comments on their height

[kyatra]

I was talking about real life in the outside world, not whatever weird corner of the internet you're on

[verknallt]

Sorry but those we see on the Internet also exist in real life.

And short men have many problems to deal with like not being taken seriously, being perceived as weak and thus are more prone to bullying.

Not to mention dating, overweight women don't get laid because they don't want to settle for average guys but short men? Well no one loves them, no one wants to breed with them too.

[kyatra]

The internet blows things up out of proportion depending on what echo chamber you're in. It sounds like you're seeking out content that upsets you, especially if you think that 5'10" men get rude comments about them being "short". Can you name 5 times you or a friend have personally experienced hateful comments IRL directly related to your height? I can easily name double that that I or personal friends have experienced bc of our weight, whether overweight or not.

Seriously, short men?

[verknallt]

Yes, they struggle a lot with dating.
