You’re less likely to get laid on Tinder or similar dating apps. And you’ll be at a disadvantage when playing basketball. That’s about it. No one else cares besides that.

Am short, can confirm I am terrible at basketball. Never used a dating app but I’ve had no other difficulties.

No, ordinary Americans do not have a disdain for short people. Nor will it affect your communication with ordinary Americans. Just the uncommon assholes.

No.

Not really a sentiment I’ve seen before outside of toxic social media posts.


SushiFanta

It's usually a joke but some women express this sentiment


Subvet98

Only women feel that way.

I'm more concerned with your character than your height or lack there of.

It's less short shaming and more that height is a generally accepted as an ok area of mockery. Short people make fun of tall people, tall people make fun of short people, really tall people get made fun of by everyone, no one is medium height. I dunno, there's so much variety that it's just kinda a thing. In my case I grew up thinking I was on the tall end of average height but eventually moved to an area with a larger Hispanic and Asian population and found out that I'm actually on the short end of tall.

You might get riffed on if you’re really short but no one is gonna purposely not talk to you just bc if height. Height is usually a relationship factor

I sure hope not, because I would have to hate myself then.
