For folks in this thread making statements such as, "I don't see how one can dictate to others what they should find attractive," the negative social stigmas towards men of short stature go far beyond physical attraction. (There's absolutely nothing wrong with women finding taller men attractive.)

Swap "short guy" for "Jew" in the quotations from those twits that have nothing to do with attraction:

> I feel sorta bad, but when short guys talk to me all I can think is "wow, what is this miniature dude even saying?"

> cute short guys are waste of space and life tbh

> I don't take short guys serious at all.

> Ugly, short men kill yourselves!

> I can't respect short guys especially if we're the same eye level, I feel like I can beat you up lol

> Men under 5 feet 9 arent really men.

> There's too many short guys in the world

Hopefully the problem is apparent. (The first quote I listed is by a man, AFAICT.)
