If you are fixed on China's Genzs then you'll eat your crow if you don't mind me to disagree on your conclusions.
Sure I'd say short is a worldwide issue but due to the diversed cultures and societies and whatnots all over the world, the conclusion about how short men are treated in their home countries is not for sure the same with each other and China also cannot for sure exempt from this. So as a totally nerve-wrecked short man by China's toxic views of man's heights, I gotta thumb down your judgements on China's acceptances to short males nowadays and I can tell you a 168cm Dutch is way luckier than being 170cm tall as a China's Genz.
First off, China's inflation of height is very disgusting and horrendous, such as '185cm is on average as a 12 y.o boy', '186cm is a little short around 14 y.o', 'Men under 185cm are disabled' and other bs like these, but I cannot see very often in the websites open for other countries' users.
Secondly, China's population is too excessive although it ceases to keep booming, but still is one of the root causes of distressful competitions(or 'involutions') in any aspects in China.
Thirdly, what you experienced was just 'Selection Bias' and my moods did not get any better bc of what you said to me cuz I know the majority of short men in China cannot have girls crush on them and that's one of the reasons why I am dying for LL.
Finally, thx for your inspirations but still cannot give up meditating on LL and I suggest you should take a look at the websites of Chian that are mostly riddled with youngsters and your socks will be knocked off after you know how toxicly they are perceiving heights.
I know that the Chinese Internet is full of bluffs and exaggerated rhetoric (or in chinese "zui pao"), a person is 180cm, and then he says below 180cm is a disability. Let's look at the reality, the proportion of young people above 180cm is only about 10% in China (maybe even less in some areas，this is backed by statistics), then the average height in the Netherlands is 180cm, we all know what the average height in China is, we all know that 175cm is in China definitely a nice height.
For example, you will see a lot of beautiful women on streaming media, but it does not mean that you are surrounded by beautiful women. These beauties are one in a thousand in daily life. The proportion of Chinese boys with a height of 185cm may be only 1%. "below 185cm is disabled", we all know that this is a radical and interesting statement.,don't have to be serious.You pay attention to a lot of height-related content, and the algorithm of the system constantly recommends height-related content to you according to your interests, bringing more anxiety
The performance of a certain height in the mate choosing market is related to the distribution of heights in the country. That's what matters. It doesn't really matter what people say, and most of these interesting rhetoric come from teenagers. A 170cm Chinese man and a 170cm Dutch man, who is more competitive in the local mate choosing market and who is more pitiful, the answer is too obvious.
Then I don't think only China internet have this exaggerated content. In fact, Chinese people are much gentler on this kind of exaggerated rhetoric. I have seen many exaggerated rhetoric about height and appearance in English forums,incel forums, which are more radical than Chinese people (like " No clearly defined jaw is a death sentence", like "below 5'10'' ,go kill yourself")
I'm doing this not to keep you away from LL, I'm just arguing that China is not the most heightism country.
