    ‘Things you should say if you want everyone to know you’re rage-baiting shit disturber’.

    I’m so glad I’m not short. Short guys just get shit on so much. Been at parties where someone just out of nowhere says “You’d be hot if you wasn’t short”. Like imagine that for anything else “you’d be hot if you wasn’t black”. “You’d be hot if you wasn’t in a wheelchair” just getting shit on for genetics.

    Same girls also cry murder if somebody says something about a fat girl, which is in their control.

      Yeah, my idea of being a ‘man’ includes the part where you wingman for your shorter buddies.

      (in the context of ‘everyone is single and out to mingle’)

      Some chick (or dude, or w/e if your bro is amenable) comes on to you at a bar?

      Chat them up a bit, introduce them to your unironically very cool and awesome shorter friend, tell them a story about the one time bro made you look like an idiot, then metaphorically hand the mic over to him, etc.

      Call it anti-chad type bro behvaior, I dunno.

      Like, to me, thats what ‘Bros before Hoes’ means.

      It means you don’t personally scour the field yourself, there has to be some sense of equity.

      Don’t make the problem worse, instead, try to be part of the solution.

      For the shorties out there.

      Own yourself, short king, and people will be drawn to you like magic. It’s not confidence, it’s loving and accepting yourself. That’s all. Self-love creates a gravity for more love.

      Anyone so shallow that they would judge you by your height is someone you don’t want be involved with. As soon as you get to know someone, their appearance ceases to matter and all that is left is the human being underneath. Consider those situations bullets dodged.

        As a short dude myself I wish this were true. I’m confident and have accepted my fate. Yet even when I thought we were grooving and clearly compatible I’d still get hit with “sorry you’re not tall enough,” even when she was like 5’0. I don’t know how the hell I got lucky to get my wife, but she’s clearly the exception not the norm.

    In other words, “be a dick to somebody and watch them get angry.” Not sure why that’s gendered.

    Also, most of this is promoting toxic masculinity, so if it’s supposed to have a quasi-feminist undertone, it’s not doing it right.

            Really? You don’t think so. Okay, let’s try an experiment

            (Disclaimer: the following statements do not reflect the views or opinions of the author)

            how to rage bait a woman

            • “what would you make for dinner if you could cook?”

            • “whatever makes you feel independent and empowered!”

            • “huh”…“huh”…“huh”…

            • repeat what they say with a nerdy voice

            • “Relax, it’s not that deep.”

            • “You wouldn’t get it.”

            • “That’s such a fat chick thing to say.”

            • “ok buddy”

            • “it’s probably hard always being wrong”

            • “your time of the month huh?”

            • “whatever helps you sleep at night”

            • “Do things normally work out for you when you do that?”

            • “You sound emotional right now.”

            • “Act your weight”

            • “Did you think abt changing your hair?”

            There. Is the blatant sexism obvious enough yet? Or is that only acceptable when it’s directed at men?

          Woop, someone who isn’t okay with a double-standard! I guess a “RealMan™” would take it on the chin and not be offended, right? Don’t worry, just be okay with being walked on like a fucking doormat, and if you get upset about it we’ll just use that as ammunition to demean you even more! And if we push you past your psychological breaking point then we’ll all act shocked and call you aggressive and wonder “How could this happen?”

          Blame the individual for the inevitable consequences of a societal outlook. And if it starts happening with millions of individuals then we’ll just blame them all as individuals because they must be fundamentally and inherently flawed, and not just psychologically damaged by constant bullying and ostracization.

          Oh, but it’s not victim blaming when the victim is a man, right? “If you got bullied, what did you do to deserve it?” “Maybe if you dressed like a normal person people wouldn’t pick on you so much.” “People can sense a pushover, just have confidence and you’ll get more respect.”

          Honestly, go fuck yourself you privileged little shit.

    I’m 165cm (5’4")

    Everything I say is a short guy thing to say

    I can’t believe so many men are insecure about being me. I’m me and it’s pretty damn cool. The feeling of fresh grass on my chin in the spring… the cover of mushrooms when it rains… the company of leprechauns… I see only pros and no cons

      Lol. But here, have some actually great benefits I wish I had:

      • The bed is long enough (u don’t need a custom made)
      • cars are great (u don’t need to imitate a giraffe to half-assed see the world outside, or take the seat out)
      • you can kiss a woman while… Errr…you know. (Not trying to pull her nose out of your bellybutton first)
      • clothes actually are your size (you dont need 12xl shirts, just so the arms fit but you can also go camping with your tent)
      • airplanes are cheap (u dont have to buy 1st class just to not fold yourself in the middle)
      • doors are OK (u dont need to duck. Which u learned through pain)

      But there are also benefits…like having a better oversight over crowds and. Err…yes.

        You missed the “everyone thinks you are there just to reach things for them”. Women in particular seem to feel entitled to my reach. The few men that ask are either walking with a cane or sitting in a wheelchair.

        Even my Wife, 5"4"/163cm has no problem interrupting me from whatever I’m doing to reach things for her. Despite having 3 step stools in the house just for her.

        But if it gets to be too much of a hassle and pisses me off, I start asking her to pick things up off the floor for me because she’s closer to it. She then has a fit because I’m making fun of her height, and then she stops asking me-- for a while.

        Here’s more benefits:

        • you can wiggle your feet in the air when sitting on a chair
        • adjusting car seat is always easy; just pull it all the way to front
        • you can eat her ass while standing
        • you can have a nap even on two person couch
        • you don’t have to buy a huge pickup even if your dick is small
        • you can work in the mines and have innate knowledge about metallurgy and smithing

        Wait, what was the topic again?

        Another benefit is slightly longer lifespan as the heart doesn’t need to work as hard for blood to travel as much distance.

    A chunk of them would just be pretty hilarious to say to me as an obviously big guy
