To think this FB meme is mean and spiteful?

[KimberleyClark]

Plenty of comments underneath about small man syndrome.

This. Hands down there is nothing like the internet for messing you up in the head if you let it.

No need to be offended on behalf of small men. I’m sure small men get the pee taken out if them time. They’ll be used to it.

My 6’5” son gets called jolly green giant, lanky streak of piss etc. He isn’t bothered. He either laughs along, shrugs or comes back with a clever comment if he can be bothered. Then again, he went to an all boys school and his dad was a soldier so he’s used to lads ribbing. You have to be tough to mix with a lot of men.

Brits used to love a laugh and that included taking the micky out of people. It’s what we USED to be known for.

Now everyone is PC we’re not allowed to say anything that we find funny in case we offend someone. I’ve put up with blonde and women jokes for years. It’s not that big a deal. Lighten up folks.

Tall women do. You just roll with it. If you stand out you get used to it

The internet being full of mean stuff surely is not a revelation to you is it?

Not much we can do about it, I generally unfriend people who repeatedly share posts that I find offensive. Who shared it with you and what have you done about it?

It is something to be proud of when you can have a laugh over something that’s not a big deal.

No need to be offended in someone else’s behalf. It won’t help them as they’ll have it for a life time.

You need to toughen up Kimberlyclark hand towels 😂

Men find their own genitals funny ALL THE TIME! Get a grip and go and enjoy life instead of being offended by a penis

We do get to tell people to lighten up. The same way you get to cry because someone else height has been mocked.

Cant believe you are wasting your time being offended on someone else behalf.

I really feel for that guy, but I'm sorry... the "can't even get a job stacking shelves" bit did make me smile 🙈 I know a really short bloke and that's exactly the kind of joke he'd tell.

I'm really tall and I was out in a bar once (in heels, so even taller) and I bumped into the tiniest man I'd ever seen. We just looked at each other and cracked up, there was no need for words! Saw him many times after that and would always give each other a wave.

I'm the first person to take the piss out of my own height but I can get it's upsetting if your height is holding you back.

OP you really should not have shared this.

Look at Zelenskyy he's a warrior of a man, extremely good looking, didn't hurt him!
I've never understood the male height thing, though, and tend to perceive it as yet another toxic measurement/comparison, promoted by culture, with very little to do with actual reality.
Same with the 'tiny' woman who needs her man to be taller to feel protected. Oh dear.
Then again, I practically live in Japanese film, and have to admit that I like what I see, if you know what I mean...nod nod wink wink.

I prefer humour to be a bit smarter than that. Its just so banal and unorginal to laugh at people's looks and I think the people who post it are a bit try hard.

It's mean, no one can help their height. I know so many people who were 5ft 4 themselves and refused to date anyone under 6ft. My partners have all been slightly shorter than me, and they've all been lovely guys (with my husband the loveliest of course!)

There's nothing wrong in having a personal preference in terms of who you're attracted too. Obviously mocking people for things like height isn't acceptable but you don't have to 'understand' other people's preferences.

Do you also use word and phrases like ‘snowflake’ or ‘woke’ or ‘race card’ a lot? Just curious.

Alpha was their term not mine. Whatever your personal measures of success, I think its difficult to argue that women who are at the upper end of their field won't be bright. I'd imagine they will largely be brighter than average, yet according to the short man complaining, they favoured tall men.

Each post you write makes you sound even more immature!

If you believe in short man syndrome do you believe in jolly fat women too?

I'm not sure I recall being offended by a penis. I think the point I was making was about the objectification of individuals, but it clearly went over your head.

Would you find it equally side splitting if someone mocked your son or does your "humour" only stretch to other people?

Yes...I know a few grown ups who share memes like this or defend humour about the way people look. They are always the same people who go straight to the school every time someone upsets their child.

That's a stretch of the definition of brightness. There is no intellectual superiority in forcing yourself to overlook your preferences when selecting a sexual partner. Regardless of whether your preference is inate, primative or youve been socialised to it, if you're attracted to tall men and can find tall men who are attracted to you, there is no benefit to you whatsoever in forcing yourself to accept short ones. Its not as though all short men are better in every other way than tall ones so you'd be stupidly missing out for the sake of height.
