When I was young I dated guys my size and shorter. What I did not date was loudmouth A holes that create scenes. Maybe he would have better luck if he went to anger management classes and learned how to act in public.

that he creates these scenes that do the opposite of what he wants, which is acceptance.

He has some real problems and I feel disinclined to ridicule him for acting like an ass, and much more inclined to make a referral to a good spiritual healer, shaman, curandera or psychotherapist.

You can feel this guy's pain. He's oppressed by the giant chip on his own shoulder.

But this guy is so caught up in his own self-righteous anger that I doubt anyone will convince him he is in need of any help.

Just one, but the light bulb needs to want to change.

Therapy does help, it does help with anger issues and misplaced anger issues.

Best description of his problem.

Tho society does tend to judge folks too much by physical characteristics. I'm reminded of this MLK,Jr. quote: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
This "gentleman" fails the character test.

I find it hard to believe that random people at food shops ask him his height when he's ordering food.

I feel sorry for him. I know he's probably been turned down a lot because of his height. It IS a thing. It can be overcome, if you have other charms (like money).

He'd never make it as a woman. If he were female, just gaining 10 pounds would put some women out of the dating game, being too tall, too. Having bad hair. Or a flat bum. Or flat chested. Or not pretty enough. Or not dress the right way. Or have a nose too big or too wide. Or wrinkles. Or gray hair. Or chunky thighs. Or a thick waist. Or not firm enough. Or not have a good enough job so the man knows she's not looking for a free ride. Or makes too much money. Or not educated enough. Or too educated. Or not have the right hair color. Or showing her age. Or being immature. Or eating too much, even if not overweight.

A woman's life is spent with her and her parts being scrutinized and praised or criticized (often the latter) by men.

I've seen men on tv, or in person, who were severely disabled, yet met and married a woman. That doesn't happen for disabled women much at all.

This guy would never make it as a woman.

But “too much money”. What kind of issue is that?!?



Seriously just joking. And that weenie probably does have a checklist like that.

You know how it is. If women don't have a good enough job for the man, that's bad. But if women make more money than he does, that's a problem for some men.

Joe could teach him a thing or two about being short and being awesomely-cool at the same time. Maybe change his whole attitude.

I had a female cousin who was over 6' tall. She found her soulmate through a club for tall people called "The Skyscrapers." Maybe there's a club for short folks, too ?

In public. Again. x a million. ad infinitum. I was in Home Depot not too long ago and one was having a very loud tantrum in the plumbing aisle and you could hear him screaming throughout the store. He was white, so he didn't get thrown out or worse. It's fucking tiresome.
