I think heightism is also regional. If you go to the bigger cities, girls seem to care more about money. I think it also has to do with safety of the region, in countries like Korea and Japan, girls care about height but not muscle I think because it is so safe there and people are very polite. In North America, there's more variety of people, and has the dog-eat-dog attitude. There's also more severe crime related to drugs and firearms so I think girls find security in big burly guys. And yes there maybe exceptions but I'm starting to feel that even if you marry someone that's truly great, with everybody getting divorced, when that person leaves you are screwed if you don't have either money or looks to meet someone new when I'm older.
Everyone on here probably already know/noticed that taller people are treated nicer and they are not even aware of how those treat others like garbage. Did anyone ever notice that among their group of friends, it was always the tallest guy who had a girlfriend? I didn't even notice this until another friend pointed this out. It's bad enough that tv actors have to lie about their height to get fame, and with people spending less time together and more time alone and hooked up to TV or internet they are only exposed to tall, beautiful, fit people so their idea of what average is completely warped. Average height has been 5'9 5'10 for decades because human beings don't evolve that fast but female expectation of male height was 6ft and now they want 6'2. c'mon?? I always wanted to do leg lengthening to get girls but didn't go through with it until one day. What tipped me over is I started work and two tall and probably more fat than muscle guys at work started to bully me. They were the two biggest guys probably 6'2 and 6'4 and ~250 at work. They had seniority so I couldn't confront them, and I didn't feel it manly to go seek help from management. I probably would have stayed given the years of abuse I took and got used to over my life, but one day they put me down for no reason in front of everyone including a girl I was interested in (probably some mutual interest too). I didn't act, and totally lost respect for myself. I felt like I was gonna get my asskicked to be brutally honest. I quit my job and got leg lengthening. I told myself even if I die doing this, I'll do it because I couldn't live life like this. When I get back to doing my career, I told myself I wouldn't let this happen to me again, and frankly, even with all this feminism bs, I want to be a man and protect my loved ones. I told myself I would take whatever to get stronger and more intimidating than before. I hope this crap works.
So yeah, my rant.
