your reasoning as to why the u.s. hasn't gotten taller in a while?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...er-study-findsnor why the tallest country hasn't either?https://www.nature.com/articles/pr2012189

Clearly the reason is all that manlet sperm that is making its way into the vaginas of our women.

also.. super high efficacy selecting for height genes im sure

that's why the avg. height is sky rocketing hehe

“Flat ass and flat chest season is on! Look at the TikTok’s where we see couples where the girl has no chest or ass whatsoever !”

Yeah...yeah. I am only 3ft tall, but still pull 4-5 fresh girls a week as I facemog everyone.

Marriage... to something with an axe wound in between its legs?

Sounds like slavery lol

What is this - the pre-Medeival era?

One person? Forever? What are we - priests?

[QUOTE=oreogasm post_id=1658460083]if you're a woman who's ever scrolled through Tinder, you'll no doubt have come across a bio with what has historically been a pretty common disclosure: "I'm 6'3 if that matters". But the end of that era – men divulging their height in a bid to appear more desirable to potential matches – could, at last, be upon us. In an op-ed for i-D this week, London-based writer Laura Pitcher heralded the "official" (TikTok-approved) arrival of "short king spring". "Just in time for the spring equinox, the internet has proposed that tall men have dominated the dating scene for too long, and we're sensing something in the air this season," Pitcher wrote.

While the concept of a "short king" isn't new – comedian Jaboukie Young-White wrote of them in a viral 2018 tweet – it's entered our collective consciousness over the past 12 months, bolstered by celebrity relationships like Zendaya's, who is 179cm tall, with her Spider-Man co-star Tom Holland, who's 6cm shorter in stature. US publication The Cut was early to the party – writer Sangeeta Singh-Kurtz declared in December 2020 that the year had not just been marked by the pandemic, but by the reign of men less than six feet tall. "In the way the big d*** energy suggests an intangible charisma, the short king's height only compounds their magnetism," Singh-Kurtz wrote, referencing the sex appeal of everyone from Irish actor Paul Mescal and Succession's Kieran Culkin to US Covid figurehead Dr Anthony Fauci.
"As Miles Klee wrote in Mel several years ago, the short king 'celebrates his height, always wearing it well. He's never been envious of a six-foot-plus dude's gawky frame, and he sure as hell doesn't add inches to his own measurements to impress anyone … For him, shortness is not a liability, but an advantage – it's crisply elegant and efficient'."

And last October, it started circulating on TikTok by way of a viral trend where women labelled their tall boyfriends "short king" and filmed their reactions. "The results revealed deeply rooted insecurities from tall men, however, the phrase was then reclaimed by short men themselves on the app," Pitcher said. "Women then got involved by expressing their desire to date shorter men and saying that 'anyone taller than 5'11 no longer qualifies'. Happy couples have also started posting TikToks celebrating their height difference."

For Sydney writer and podcast host Melissa Mason – who was "obsessed with height and would overlook so many red flags if a guy was over 6'2" when she was dating in her early 20s – the shift in our mentality is "less about the normalisation of dating outside of a height prerequisite and more about a wider relaxation of superficial dating must-haves". "I've noticed more celebration of connection over finding someone who isn't traditionally 'attractive' physically," the Jeans & A Nice Top co-host told news.com.au. "What's hot now is that chemistry you get with another person, and it's probably the way we share about our lives (celebrities included) where we see the truly candid side of relationships that's fuelled this.

"We've stopped believing that we need someone to tick all our boxes for the relationship to work, and realised that attraction isn't limited to physical appearance." A recent University of Chicago and MIT study about "mate preferences and matching outcomes in online dating" found that shorter men need to earn more money to be deemed equally attractive to taller men. Like Pitcher, who wrote that some women's "bias [for tall men] is clearly rooted in misogyny" (as well as ableism and racism), Mason agreed that height discrimination is "absolutely" an issue of "ingrained sexism". "When you think about it, the conversation around wanting a 'big' man – tall, broad, strong – is rooted in [women] wanting to feel small, petite and fragile," she said, asked whether societal messaging about how women should "look" plays a role in us possibly wanting a romantic partner who is larger in height.

"All of that stems from women historically being considered the weaker sex, right? It's hard to extricate yourself from that kind of ingrained sexism, and I don't think anyone should feel pressured to date anyone they don't feel attracted to." The oft-wheeled out accusation by some that it's "sexist" of women not to date men who are shorter than them is "pretty controlling" and can "tip into the incel movement, which is incredibly toxic". That said, Mason added a "good idea" is to "critically think about why you believe you need a male partner who is taller than you". Pitcher echoed a similar sentiment in her piece, writing that while "it's clear posting about 'short king spring' won't magically reverse centuries of height discrimination and social conditioning … it does open up the conversation for couples who don't fit the previous mould".
"It's more about taking a hard look at who you close yourself off to, and why – kind of like doing a stocktake of your 'must haves' when it comes to dating, and just making sure you really do need those prerequisites in another person," Mason advised. "You could be closing yourself off to some really amazing romantic connections just because you've never analysed why you have superficial standards in place."

This

Not even manlets want manlets

I didn't even consider reading

Every word is C O P E

Never learning ever they will

zendaya is ugly as **** lmao what does this prove

*Booking a flight to Turkey for my leg shortening surgery*

This.

Just like 25+ year old women being desirable

manmores. when will they ****ing learn.

the only gals worth anything are 5'nothin" to 5'2" anyway, so it doesn't matter srs

Fishy pls

unless sloots 18-25 gonna date manlets, nothing has changed as older sloots want a comfortable life

i read an article that women have been ultimately choosing men with a thick benis as opposed to a thinner one to have kids with.
thin dinks are being bred out of existence, it evolution.

the conclusion is simple.
tall dudes have skinny wangs.
explains all their insecurity over manlets.

how many articles on penis do you average reading a day

Article is mostly cope but I will say the most successful guy I know, both with money and women, is 5'5" and bald. Dude slayed more prime pussy than anyone I know and I've never seen him with a girl who is less than a 7/10 misc standards. Married to a really cute doctor now that he met in medical school and they just started their own practice (she's also taller than him). He's got the personality and social proof though, really fun to hang out with and he knows literally everyone in the town we grew up in.

womanlets are even more into tallcels (ded srs)

You've got a better chance of someone reading that Great Wall of China text than opting for a short dude.



































TL/DR

I'm sure this same group that wrote this are also responsible for the "protein and exercise are actually bad for you, says a study"

You read the study?

If the asian and hispanic population is increasing and the caucasian is decreasing, what you think is going to happen to average height?

Propaganda from men with power. Same as women don't really care about how attractive looking physically a guy is.

i've heard this a few times but have not really witnessed it srs

As a manlet, this is dumb.

Women are attracted to taller guys because it’s biological, just as we’re attracted to a good hips to waist ratio and youth. Whilst they try to make “milf” happen, no man ever goes into brothel and asks for the 40yr old over the 18yr old.

Just speak the truth, quit lying and let things play out.

Some women won’t like short guys. Who gives a fk, who wants to force someone to like them? That’s toxic as fk.

That said, I maintain that height discrimination is really no different to race discrimination, it’s things people can’t change, so why discriminate over it? It’s acceptable to make height jokes but not race jokes? I don’t care either way, but let’s stay consistent.

people should be allowed to have preferences without being told what their preference should or should not be.

Nah, being shorter is bad. They'll pretend you're a "boomer", even when you're 3 to 4 decades younger.

Gotta be at least six feet tall nowadays.

Life is over if you're still shorter. I swear some of these shorter dudes who came before everybody wanted new generations to be the same size as 'em. Shocking. If I were a shorter dude, I certainly wouldn't actively try and make the next generations as "short" as I am. Shocking.

It is indeed propaganda for f*cktwits. They'll just pretend young "short" dudes in their twenties are boomers or older men. Shocking.
