    Yes. Your height is a huge factor in your social appeal and status.

    Taller people are considered more attractive, get paid more, and generally have positive biases associated with them. Short people have negative ones.

    it’s further biased when it comes to female to male selection. men don’t care so much about women’s height, but women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner.

      what???

      Short people have negative [biases associated with them]

      among school bullies and manosphere idiots

      Taller people […] get paid more

      this definitely isn’t true (Technically it is, but height is not the cause, sex is)

      women care very much about dating a larger, physically stronger, partner

      seems like a harmful and untrue stereotype

      men don’t care so much about women’s height

      also seems like a harmful stereotype, also personally as a {idk if man or agender} i do kinda prefer tall women, but as @daggermoon@lemmy.world said, “I mean, I have a preference but it’s not even a determining factor for me. I care much more about what kind of person they are.”
