It seems to imply that how tall you are is a function of effort, but other than surgery, it doesn't seem like a thing. And the surgery is hard to obtain.
Why do women mean when they say "it's not that hard to be taller than me"?

What Girls Said
My cousin would wear running shoes that boosted her height by half an inch. Also, height is not the only way to make your self seem tall to a girl, you can be a positive and intelligent person who is protective and honest. The short surgeon will get more respect than the tall McDonald’s baker. It’s not all about height.
Thanks for your comment I agree but I was asking specifically about this statement that I hear a lot
It means it's not that difficult to be taller than me.
Did you fail school?
@Nikki1989
I ask you... The sheer mentality of some people!
Can you explain the simple process for someone not taller than you, to become taller than you?
By hard they mean statistically most people are likely to be taller than them
Are they phrasing what they mean incorrectly then?
Saying something is hard to achieve usually doesn't refer to genetics.
Like I never heard anyone say "it's not hard to not have asthma". Saying it's not hard to do/be something generally implies that it's a function of effort rather than an immutable characteristic.
It’s just an expression. Don’t read too much into it. Just means most people are taller than they are.
Also does this imply that the person saying it knows the stats surrounding how many people are taller than them? What would be the threshold, like what percentage of men need to be taller than them for it to be considered "not hard" to be taller than them? By phrasing it as such it has an implication that people not taller than her are somehow defected.
They really don’t care about stats. They’re just saying in general.
"it's not hard to not be poor" would that be considered a non-offfensive to people who live paycheck to paycheck and they shouldn't read too deep into it?
Like do you at least acknowledge why it seems messed up?
In general if someone is short it absolutely is hard to be taller.
People who are already taller didn't try to do anything, the expression seems completely unrelated to the intention.
Who would be offended by it? It’s just a girl saying most people are taller than she is.
A guy who's shorter hearing a woman say "it's not hard to be taller than me" would probably be offended because the phrase sounds ignorant to reality and inline with body shaming.
You’re reading it wrong. Just accept the generally accepted meaning.
If she said "most men are taller than me" that's different than saying "it's hard to not be taller than me"
It’s just an expression. Technically it’s incorrect but everybody knows what it means and most people don’t care or get offended.
I'm not reading it wrong. Based on this discussion, they're phrasing what they mean wrong.
There's plenty of "general sayings" that turn out to be harmful in terms of body shaming and social stigma and people learn to stop saying them. But somethings telling me you're a MAGA person who thinks being a decent person is WOKE
Basically it's okay to say it and anyone offended by the normalization of the incorrectly phrased thing should just man up and get over it?
Because people taller than her aren't offended, the people who are offended should suck it up right?
Does this apply to racial slurs and jokes? Unless a majority of society finds it offensive, the people offended should just shut up and roll with it?
Quite the opposite actually. Are you very short? If not, I’m not sure why you would be offended.
I say it jokingly sometimes. Mostly I mean guys, because there are very few guys under 5’2” who are not also little people.
I'm not even short the absolute dismal and non chalantness you and most of society apparently has toward putting in the tiniest amount of effort that can help with ending stigmas is offputting and disappointing.
If I said that and someone pointed this out to me, I'd stop in a heart beat, but you're explaining away the issues that people have with social stigmas because the majority of people aren't offended? It feels gross.
You say you say it jokingly, what exactly is the joke?
No, it does not, and you know that’s different. I mean technically my college does have a chapter of the Tall Short Alliance, but getting offended over stuff like this is pissing off the general public and making it very hard to get really important changes accomplished.
Do you find racial slurs not against your race fine? I'm not black but I find jokes and slurs and off hand ignorant comments against them offensive. You don't need to be the target to be offended or bothered by it.
It's so sad to see people not willing to stick for each other.
How much effort would it take for you to just not make body shaming jokes?
If everyone who believed in progressive ideals was as annoying as you, I would join MAGA. Fortunately they’re not.
I have to go. Good night.
Again, explain the joke.
Yea as expected, get therapy.
