What girls would go for a 5'4" guy

This is just not true. Women love to use to the confidence-excuse (or the chemistry or short man syndrome excuse), when in fact she's just lying so that other people won't accuse her of being a shallow heightist.

Oh, shut up. You're being utterly ridiculous, you can't call someone a racist for not being attracted to a person of a certain race. It's the nature of sexual attraction, it's discriminative.

I am appalled by your aggressiveness and general rudeness. Instead of providing counter arguments and focussing on the issue you just went ahead and randomly insulted tinywings for no good reason. I can't believe you gave a rant about discrimination an outward appearances being secondary and then started making offensive assumptions about people you don't even know based on their choice of university. I'd say you were a troll if you didn't have an established account.

I believe her point is valid. You can't force physical attraction on people and you can't deny that physical attraction is a major part of any meaningful relationship. Don't tell me you don't have sexual preferences. Besides if you don't want to jump someone's bones then that doesn't mean you hate their guts. I don't feel like plowing Obama or Oprah Winfrey yet that doesn't mean I don't admire them or that I hate black people subconsciously.

I really don't know what event could have made you so bitter and cynical about people.

Hey I know this guy who's 5'4''.....yeh that's right, 2 whole inches taller than you HAHA

Moral values won't help you against biology buddy.

My God, another brainless bimbo who is also a heightist and a size-queen.
And people still refuse to believe that women are more shallow than men? Incredible.

I did provide counter arguments but said poster failed to take my views into account. I'm not forcing my opinions on anybody but you cannot deny the fact that judging somebody based on their appearence be it height or skin colour is a discriminatory factor and hence heightism and racism are both one and the same.

This isn't about jumping someone's bones. It's accepting people for who they are. Bitter and cynical? Hardly. I'm putting across my point of view and if you or anybody else can't accept that or don't like it, then by all means avert your eyes or get lost.

I am happy to argue my point. What I am not happy is for my opinions to be blindly ignored and hence what you term as "insults" are simply my means of adding substance to the fact that said individual is ignorant.

Discrimination in ANY form is wrong and it doesn't matter who is doing it. We aren't animals without the brains to comprehend personality. But it would seem a handful of you wish to remain stuck in those ideas.

Thankfully the vast majority of people on this thread disagree with you.

So you're saying it's natural to be racist then?

Oh and please don't tell me to shut up. Don't act so tough just because you're behind a computer screen.

What so every short/disabled/physically handicapped individual is doomed to have less rights than their counterparts?

Exactly. Good post.

People are born with certain characteristics that don't change, like height, facial appearance, body shape etc.

So you're saying it's natural to be racist then?

Well it is said that shorter people earn less and disabled and physically handicapped people still dont have access to the same opportunities their able bodied counterparts do.

I'm not even going to argue with you, you're clearly some sort of psychopath. I mean look at your avatar.

Well, yes. In all these posts you have proven yourself to be a complete buffoon. When bereft of genuine arguments you resort to petty insults. I mean lambasting someone for their choice of educational institution? Trust me, nothing makes one look more pathetic.

Yes human beings are naturally discriminatory, considering race is the deliberate subjugation and belief that one is superior to another set of individuals. Discrimination and prejudgement are critical part of the human condition that actually assist us with functioning efficiently in day to day life. In the same way many races are attracted solely or mostly to those of similar race. Humans seek comfort in familiarity and hence will seek comfort in those with familiar genetic traits. Height provides for many a sense of "intimidation" and "power", women are attracted to men who appear physically dominating. It provides a sense of protection, protective ability is one of the prime traits women subconsciously look for in a mate.

It is very natural to discriminate as genetic preference itself is discriminatory. Thats just the way the world works, continue living in a liberal bubble. The only one who looks like a tard is you.

Looooooooooooooool!!!! Im sorry I know truth hurts
I guess you're short???
I do hope you come back to read this although you're banned!

Look, just try to be courteous even if you disagree with people. Insults never provide substance to anything, they sidetrack debates.

I stand by my initial argument that sexual discrimination is a fact of life we all have to live with, and that attraction cannot be forced, in fact that doing so would be the unfair thing. According to your theory, refusing someone on a date could be a classified as a hate crime. Imagine what kind of society that would create. Like that other guy said, no amount of personal values will stop biology in its tracks. Blaming someone for their preferences is like blaming someone for their height: they can't change it. It's only when a relationship is based on gain and not love that any criticism can be legitimately voiced. Will all due respect, all of this seems obvious to me. Love is unfair, but it's even more unfair to make it fair.

Anyway I don't think any amount of debating will change your opinion, (or mine ) so allow me to provide you with this great one page short story by Kurt Vonnegut as closure:
