I am 4’11”. That’s pretty small 😂 especially for an adult. So I was totally ready to read the persons mytake about short girls, assuming she would be encouraging. But to my surprise, I did not feel encouraged at all and it kind of pissed me off the way she explained things. So here is my response to all of her points.
1. Cute
She believes that guys are more attracted to short Girls because it’s “cute”. This is probably true for a lot of men, but let us not generalize please. There are plenty of other men who can appreciate women of different sizes that include “average” and “tall”. If tall women weren’t so attractive, they wouldn’t be getting all these modeling gigs👀
2. Submissive
Okay now this one...this one really pissed me off.
But anyways, the point she made was that short girls are perceived as submissive and passive while taller ladies are seen as intimidating. Not only is this VERY insulting to women, this is insulting to men as well. This makes it sound like men are so damn insecure that silly things like height could easily scare them away. She makes men out to be coward bitches that can only feel safe with midgets in the room and that’s just fucking sad. I will agree that there are men who are like this—but there are more who have more dignity and confidence.
And while I can somewhat agree that stature can play a part in the art of perception of character, not all short Girls genuinely ACT submissive. In my personal experience the shorter girls I've met were more dominant in demeanor because sometimes it’s hard to be taken seriously when you look like a kid.
3. People helping out
I honestly do not have much of a rebuttal for this one. As I mentioned before I do somewhat agree that stature plays a role in perception. So it is very likely that someone taller, especially a guy, would feel more inclined to help the short woman when it comes to physical activity. However, this isn’t always a perk to being short, because as I’ve also mentioned before, a lot of times, short people are not taken seriously. So people always trying to give you a hand can easily comes off as they don’t think you are strong or fit enough. Or they doubt your overall physical ability when you haven’t even had a chance to show and prove them right/wrong.
4. Tall guys LOVE us
i don’t appreciate this point at all, simply because the logic behind it is just...cringy as hell.
Her position is That she will find the Tall Guy-short girl match to be more appealing in appearance not only because of the aesthetic but because her own boyfriends from the past have said that they feel much better about themselves by dating a shorter lady such as herself.
MEN. I genuinely hope you feel insulted by this absurd way of thinking.
Guys should not have to feel like less of a man solely based on the perception of another woman’s talk height. I don’t know if many of you have seen the movie SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE but her reasoning made me think of this movie.
This extremely insecure man manages to score a date (and relationship) with a very beautiful woman even though he thinks of himself as “average”. Later in the movie when he expected her to have a dramatic physical birth deformity, it turns out she just has two webbed toes and he gets upset with HER for being “too perfect”.
So relating this back to what she said—she is making it come off as if men desire physically limited or disadvantaged women for the sake of his own fragile pride.
5. Femininity
Boldly, she states that women are SUPPOSED to be shorter than men...
INCORRECT! Sorry but sweetheart, you are wrong. This lady who posted this crap is just wrong in so many ways. Everyone, men and women, come in so many different shapes and sizes. Yes on average, women are shorter than men. But guess what? That is not always the case because we have diversity!!! We have versatility!!! We have unique individuals!!!
And it is so sad how condescending some people can be towards people who are different.
If tall height was strictly a man thing, there wouldn’t be short men 😑 shortness is not a birth defect (unless we are literally talking about actual little people like Dwarfism—that is a completely different story).
The lady goes on to explain that everything about women is supposed to small and passive...and that’s wrong. Simply wrong. She does advocate for curves, but she still confuses me. Tall women have the same curves as short women, however on short girls those curves could be more defined. But if women are supposed to be small in every aspect of physicality, then wouldn’t defined curves be LESS feminine? Wouldn’t the girls with the smaller curves be more lady-like? I’m just challenging her logic...
MY final thoughts...
Most of her points were just complete bullshit, because while trying to pick a side she completely condescends the other—and that’s not okay in my book, and also because she focuses so hard on the approval of others (ESPECIALLY men) and that mentality is very harmful to spread to the other ladies that have read her take. Do not love your life for the attention and approval of others because that is the fuel to insecurity and shame.
Popular opinion changes constantly. Do not put yourself on some roller coaster ride of trends just to score a date. That goes for everybody, not just women. You are worth more than the bullshit this anonymous user is feeding you. I genuinely hope she was trolling...
Love yourself for your differences and appreciate others for it as well. Thank you for reading.
