i just learned a new word "heightism",now we see all these ads,and woman demanding that they be accepted for who they are.that beauty is only skin deep.they are not simply objects.
these are all reasonable in my opinion,and when put in contrast to marketing campaigns,and the tremendous pressure women are subjected to in order to achieve some arbitrary example of beauty.a bar set by the comsetics industry,the fashion industry,hollywood.
these are all reasonable criticisms in regards to the subtle forces imposed on women in the context of beauty and attractiveness.
but can the same metric be applied to men?
and would women recognize the inherent hypocrisy?
turns out they do..when it is pointed out.
humans...gotta love em.

entr0pysays...I think choosing who you want to make sweet love to is the one area where it's completely fine to discriminate in whatever way you want. Having a sexual orientation isn't sexism, not dating the elderly isn't ageism. Even more shallow things like preferring certain body types or certain races is fine, because the alternative is to lie about what attracts you, which is not actually a kind thing to do.
What really pisses me off is guys who somehow feel entitled to dates from women who aren't interested. Just find someone you're compatible with, there is no "correcting" people's sexual preferences.
As for the better point of women being hypocritical because they don't want to be judged on their weight, I think they're smart enough to know that happens, but it does seem crass to ask for exact measurements. The main difference is women believe most men don't mind being asked their height, and men know most women do mind being asked their weight.
So men, own up to your height insecurity whenever possible so that women will be more sensitive in the future.

um..did we watch the same video?
the shallowness was exactly the point,and he was pointing the finger just as much to himself as to the hypocrisy of the women being interviewed,and to their credit...they admitted their own shallowness,and hypocrisy.
this was pretty light-hearted buddy.
you kinda brought a dark,and somberness to something that was meant to self-deprecating and give ya a giggle.
not arguing your points..those are valid.
but geez,you sure this video is what set you off?
did i miss something?

i showed this to my girlfriend who just happens to be 5'11" and she started bemoaning how she simply could not,nor ever be with a man shorter than herself.
to which i was "well,i sure am glad i am 6'2" because otherwise you would have had nothing to do with me".
her reply" you bet your sweet,old and cantankerous ass"
she gets hit on all the time by short dudes (often because i tell them she is single,and she loves short guys <---i am a dick to my girlfriend).
antsays...I am short.
newtboyjokingly says...I'm 5'9"....I guess I don't have a chance with her.

siftbotsays...Moving this video to enoch's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
