Too many people grow up Online* Pretty sure that's at the very least a significant part of the issue. It's the wild wild wildly inappropriate West out here folks
@@Zabiru- This. We live in an age where people have grown up completely exposed to online culture. And completely removed from real life. And it's only going to get worse. I'm Gen X, and only older Millenials remember life before we were constantly connected to the internet. And we're already seeing the issues inherent in that. Give it another 20-30 years, it's gonna be baaaaad.
@@KhronicD I heard about a study in Europe, not so long ago, that concluded that younger Gen Z has a healthier relationship with online culture than Gen Y and the older Gen Z. The younger Gen Z learn to question more what they see online and overreact less, possibly because their parents and teachers are more aware of online culture themselves and they protect/prepare the kids more.
Yea, thats just a them problem. You can line up 100 short women and 1 kid who is the same size and any normal person can spot the kid 100% of the time. If you see a short women and think about kids, that's a you problem.
@@natkat4381 honestly it can really depend on the women and the child. Some people really do not look their age. Hence why ID is required to buy alcohol and all sorts of other similar situations. The line of visual distinction can get uncomfortably blurry at times. Heh apparently Gawr Gura once got mistaken for a child at the airport when she was running late for a flight.
I've seen plenty of woman who look 20 but end up being 16 or younger. I think it's more along the lines we don't want to go to jail, so we have to question.
@@badlynice4692 that isn't normal the cues are obvious. Especially with a 4 year age gap that you are describing. The differences between 16 and 20 are bigger than 30 and 40 years old.
"You can never be sexy because you're small." Wha? I can't imagine someone saying that unless the goal is to hurt you. Some of the sexiest women I know are short.
There's a different beauty in tall and short people, for both genders. Just as a personal preference, do what you want, whatever. But somebody is into that. Doesn't matter what
To be honest, I'm starting to think that they're saying it to create a cover story for their own secret issues.... Like how you would hear about these virulently, over the top anti-gay people who turned out to be secretly gay, themselves.
As a 6'4" guy, if I didn't find shorter women attractive, I'd be pretty much SOL. Size difference relationships have become one of my favorite things. Edit: I have had that urge to headpat or pick up smaller people, but ONLY when we're very close and I know they're ok with it. Doing something like that to a stranger or even a casual acquaintance feels like some level of sociopathy.
A close friend of mine is a little over 6 foot. His wife is around 3 and a half feet. The amount of people that showed disgust or called him nasty names when they started dating was insane. She's 4 years older than him. People are insane in what they use to differentiate age groups.
Yep. Had an older coworker who was a mother of two but a fucking killer shortstack. I would have let that woman take me straight to pound town, and I don't sleep around. She was that sexy lol
bcs people are weird and so are there minds but im sure if and when we see ironmouse she'll look completely normal if anything im getting shortstack vibes and that's never not a win IMO :D
In my opinion she does, granted I’ve never seen her irl flesh model before, but I imagine a shortstack Latina with a Mewtwo and Tatsumaki build fused into one. Even if she wasn’t, then I’m sure she’s still very beautiful
this is hella relatable, it wasn’t until i moved to japan that people stopped commenting about my height and people stopped treating me like a child because most my friends there were the same height
I'm afraid of moving to the netherlands being from spain. I'm 152cm and the netherlands is the top 1 country in the world with the tallest people afaik. When I was in Denmark people though I was underage all the time (I was 28). It's happened throught all my adult life tho even here in Spain because I have a babyface too or something (I don't even know). I also feel like people would never see me as a potential romantic partner because of my height and small chest which makes me look even more childlike. I've been told I'm like a loli (bro eew). It's pretty shitty but at least i can relate with people like Mousey
@@bakicci Maybe in 2-3 years idk it's a possibility! I've been many times cuz I have family there and it's an amazing place with very high quality of life
I heard kids and even the adults in Japan will start poking and rubbinh your belly if you are overweight and at least if they are close enough. Apparently even coworkers, classmates, acquaintances do it. I can't confirm since I don't live in Japan. I heard it's kinda like a bully tactic on you to force you to become skinny instead because they want you to be healthy.
@@LemonCloud420 she was talking about people who rag on her height, and you're complaining about someone saying "smash". essentially saying "nah, I'd hit" is a wierd, strange, and terrible flirting tactic if I use twitter extrapolation methods at 1% power.
@@LemonCloud420 She was mostly talking about people who treat her differently due to her height, overall size and appearance. Like treating her like a child generally or any fetishism of the traits that are part of who she is (Everything from her size to ethnicity to medical condition). Simply saying that she is "Wholesome" but, with as much respect as possible, that they would "Smash" is not contextually part of the discussion she is having. Sure, it's kinda odd and might have motives based in what she is talking about. We honestly don't know ErikPT's motivation for saying it. At best we can say perhaps it fall's under the overall "Not being treated like a normal person" part of the discussion, but it's bound to happen with popular and known people. As long as it's not any more vulgar than that, or hyper specific about why, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal to say something along those lines in passing. She is pretty wholesome and, respectfully, also "Smashable". I wish her the best and hope she is able to find more people who will treat her like a normal person, perhaps even find a partner among them to share her life with. Do I hope it to be me? No, I am a happily married man in my 40's and a complete mess of a person in general. I'm truly undeserving of the amazing woman I married and had children with. But I am grateful that she did and I do my best to be better for her every day. All that said Mouse is a wholesome and wonderful person, I'm sure whom ever she finds will be just as grateful as I am with my wife. Would I "Smash' if my life were different and the situation arose? Yes, I don't know what to say other than it's a simple & honest answer to a simple, if exceptionally hypothetical, question. The reason it's such a massive hypothetical is the fact I'm a nobody in Australia and she is a highly successful V-Tuber in the US, I have more of a chance of knowing Joey "The Animeman" than her due to geographical proximity. Guess who I don't personally know just because we are both Australians, Joey. And yes, if I swung that way, I would "Smash" Joey. Though, I would be thinking of Garnt the whole time. Nothing against for Conner, but I'm just not into Welshmen (As in women who are Welsh as well).
Just ignore those people TBH, people who are that weird about height are ridiculous. Being average height I just love women. Shorter, same height, much taller than me, at the end of the day I care they're good people and have fun personalities. I'm pretty sure most normal people are the same. Also gotta be very strict with your boundaries, if someone is making you uncomfortable you gotta be upfront about it, even if they don't mean to be they should understand by you telling them.
lol no, all these "problems" are your "normal people" being normal. You only get female privilege by trying to coast on a VERY narrow margin of bigotry allowed to normal women. It's conformist like Japanese soceity, and if you're a bit short you don't get treated "different": you get treated like men. If you're cute enough you will be treated like a young boy. And I do mean, thre's MANY types of predators out there, but only one real kind of protection, and that's women's. People LOVE when a boy get assualted adn they get to beat up a predator, it's like a freebie, "nobody" got hurt. A boy is like the cheese in a mouse trap. No man can say "omg don't you realize how weird that sounds?". Because that's typical women behavior. No women even stick out acting weird or making people uncofmortable, people just roll with it until they're evolved into Karens with zero boundaries.
I find full grow women who have a cuteness factor to them to be more attractive and sexy than a woman who tries to look attractive with makeup and tight closes. Give me the oversized hoodie small woman, I'm happy.
Cute girls can still be sexy and beautiful at the same time tho, even if the cute girl is short. Cute girls can also be cool too. The people that says the opposite is dumb.
I'm a 5'4 guy. It's not because short women are our "only hope". They understand what it's like to be treated differently for their height, so maybe they can empathize with us and, you know... Not treat us like kids or consider us creeps?
Yea how they just threw short guys under the bus immediately was pretty gross. But, hey miserable people are nasty to others. You have to understand mouse's cute personality is a mask. She is miserable, and puts others down often.
They were more specifically talking about super clingy short guy's, who literally act like a short woman is their only option. Look, I'm by no means super short but I am the shortest guy in my family by 15cm (6 inches for those in the US). I'm on the shorter side of average overall, but still within the average height range. So, I am not saying I completely live the short guy experience....but I am saying I know what it's like to be the shortest guy around. Even among my friends, most of them are taller and more manly looking than me. So, it's not like I am not speaking from some experience here. Be comfortable with who you are and don't latch onto short (or any other height etc for that matter) women like a drowning man would a life preserver. I've seen guy's who were friends of my friends that were a foot shorter than me owning their life and being able to attract women like no ones business. They were not insecure about their height and would laugh and clap back with some crazy witty remarks at anyone who tried to use it against them. Wit, self-confidence and being comfortable with yourself as you are is all you need guys. Like I said, I am not the tallest guy either, yet I was able to have several great girlfriends (Some literally taller than me by at least 10cm, 4 inches for the US) in my life before marrying an amazing woman. I was always platonic friends with them before and after, treat people like they are people first and be comfortable with who you are, the rest just flows from there. It's that simple. As I pointed out, they were specifically talking about desperate and clingy short guys, not all short guys. The conversation around that part centred around people touching their heads, picking them up and generally treating them differently due to their height. They won't understand the perspective of a guy who is as short or just slightly taller than them because they are not guys. They are talking from their experience as short women, maybe listen and understand what it's like for them. Take that information and then apply it yourselves, as in don't gravitate to short women and be desperately clingy. Help not doing what taller people do to them, perhaps even point out it's quite rude to do things like that when other's do it. But do it in a friendly, off handed manner then go back to doing what you were doing before. The idea is to not be seen as some white knight or as a desperately attached guy, but to be a person who has listened to these women in the video and understands that they are people who just want to be treated normally like everyone else. Just like you do. If the topic comes up then sure, tell people (regardless of who asked you or their height) frankly what it's like as a shorter guy. Say it's a different experience to shorter women due to the similar gendered societal expectations of what a man or woman "Should be". But roll with it, and don't linger on the topic because you will be seen as a complaining little short man due to those "societal norms". Like I said, I'm not the tallest or traditionally "manliest" of guys. So, not dwelling on what makes me seen as "Lesser" is something I am familiar with. It's just how we have to be to get by in the world guys. Be comfortable with yourself as you are and treat others with the decency of being a person first and foremost. As you wish to be treated yourselves no doubt, not as a "Short guy" right?
@@frankie2488 Gee, I wonder why she is miserable...could it be that she has next to no autonomy due to her condition perhaps? Most people have not been through half the crap she has, frankly it's a miracle her masking is as positive and up beat as it is. Lord knows my masking isn't, at best I usually come off as a sarcastic jerk. I put others down, I troll and I even straight up insult people to their faces with masking. Guess what I'm like without it... I do and say the most vile things without thinking because of my conditions. I have had friends not talk to me for a week after I jokingly say something because they thought I was serious. Most of the time, I don;t mean literally the things I say in the moment, but the sentiment or a specific instance of what I am talking about is usually what I am saying stuff about. It just comes out half with a hearted attempt to parse for a correction because I'm either too tired &/or sore to think before speaking. Typing is clearly different, as I can usually take my time and find the right words to say most of the time. But yeah, I don't blame Mouse for being cynical, bitter or generally an unkind person without the masking. I live that, I sympathise without knowing how much worse her life has been than mine. And yes, her life has been far worse than mine. I can at least leave my house when ever I want to without taking an ambulance worth of medical equipment with me. I have limited autonomy, but not that limited. And the small limitations I personally face are infuriating enough, I wouldn't be half as nice as her, or attempt to be with masking, if I faced Mouse's issues. But sure, you completely miss the entire conversation and focus on one part in a vacuum. The saying is "Missing the Forrest for the Tree's" for a reason mate, meanwhile you're focused on the branch of one of those trees so hard you didn't even realise there were other tree's at all. I don't know you, I don't know if you've experienced any issues like me or Mouse and I sure as hell don't care one way or the other. What's clear is that you have a bone to pick and you're incapable of hearing what's said when you listen to people, you only hear what you want to and focus on that to the exclusion of context surrounding it. And that may not be "Gross"; It's worse, it's a stupid display of how ignorant you are to others and how little you actually retain when being spoken to. You attempted to garner support from the short guys by appealing to a baseline knee-jerk reaction to part of what was said. Sound's pretty manipulative and "Gross" of you to do that, right? Interpreting things incorrectly to suit one's narrative is easy to do, kinda hard to prove to be factual once someone points out the correct interpretation though. Like I said, I don't know anything about you but I created a narrative about you and what you said out of nothing but one of many ways to interpret what you said. How about chill, be a bit more understanding of others situations and try to hear everything that's being said rather than cherry pick one specific part within the whole, ok?
The weird stuff I've heard about random people touching pregnant women... like for normal people nah that's weird but touching someone pregnant is another level of insensitivity to the privacy of others.
Im 190cm and I've only seriously dated one person, and they were below 160cm. The amount of times I got sent memes about a hamster eating a banana or The Mountain and his partner. It's tiring.
We don't headpat people we don't know. We don't really approach people we don't know unless we have a valid reason, like asking where a store or restaurant is. We use to approach people to get to know them, but that was years ago when we were much younger. We've become more anxious and paranoid, even developing trust issues, as we got older. So approaching people we don't know to try to get to know them is more than a little stressful. But going up to someone unfamiliar to headpat them *without permission* or *physically pick them up* randomly is… well, no matter who you are, that is extremely rude. And in some places can even be considered harrassment. We feel bad for Iron Mouse and her friend.
Most men who meet short women: "You're cute, or look at that shortstack." Most women who meet short men: "💀💀💀" My uncle was a successful jockey @ 5'2 he never married, nor had a girlfriend. He had no issues talking to women, he was just always rejected. He was the most optimistic guy I ever knew, & he always said there is "someone for everyone." Even going as far as taking time cheering me up, when I was a teen filled with doubts. He tried to hide his sadness, but sometimes I could see it on his face at reunions etc. and died single. He was really a great guy, & it makes me sad when I think about the fact that people just couldn't see past his height.
People that look at a short and or petite woman and think of children, especially THAT WAY are clearly projecting. All they're doing is outing themselves.
My ex is 5' and rail thin. The amount of disrespect that she received because she's a small woman was INSANE and everything they say rings so true for her experience too. It was infuriating to be around.
As someone who was like the shortest person in their class for all of school, aye. All of this. When I moved to the coast (where there is a lot of asians) most of the this went away.
I had a friend of mine way back in high school. She was older than I was, I was a freshman she was a senior. But I'm 6'5" and she quite literally came up to my belly button. Heh, part of the reason she became my friend. We were in line and she turned around and just grinned: "You're really tall...wanna be friends?". Later I developed a bit of a crush on her. She was just really fun to be around. It didn't go anywhere, and that's fine. But yeah, her size didn't make me think she was a child, I'm used to being taller than people. She just happened to be extra small.
People throw around the word p*do like it's going out of style these days much like every other one of those terms (N*zi, things like this). That one in particular, though, people LOVE to throw around, it's like we all know that's one of the worst things you can say to or about someone, and so everyone just wants to throw that out as the first line of attack
That's the thing. It is the change in the cultural opinion of that subject that is influencing people to think like this. I'm from Canada and the age of consent only changed from 14 to 16 in 2008. Ask the average person today whether they thought it was legal for any adult to have s*x with people who are 14 sixteen years ago and they'd likely tell you absolutely not. That entire concept seems unthinkable. The concept that there is a real difference between 14 year old people and 18 year old people is really only an idea that has been around for about 100-150 years. It used to be "children" (younger than 14) and "adults" (who have the full ability and rights of any other adult). During the late 19th century and early 20th century studies started coming out saying that people's brains we're still developing up until their early 20s. That's when the idea of "adolescence" was created. Now, it started entering the public consciousness that people between the ages of 14 and 18 were not quite adults but also not quite children either. The general opinion became that these people weren't allowed to make decisions anymore and needed to be protected. As that opinion grew over the last 100 years, it became stronger and stronger. I remember people saying things in the 1980s and 1990s to the effect of "Some 14 year olds are more mature than others. You can't put a hard number on who is mature and who isn't. It's on a case per case basis. Sometimes it is acceptable and sometimes it isn't." This is all to say that somewhere around the early to mid 2000s there was suddenly a huge movement to "fix" the world. Part of this was a general opinion that people of the past were horrible people who stood by and watched horrible things happen. That refusing to speak up about bad things happens was just as bad as doing the horrible things yourself. This resulted in a cultural crackdown on anything that was considered immoral or wrong and a belief that if you weren't attempting to fix a problem then you were CAUSING it. This caused people to becomes super defensive over things. It went from "That might be acceptable for some people but not for me" to "Anyone who does that sort of thing is a depraved psychopath who needs to be taken out." Then it went to "Eww, you would date that person? They kind of LOOK like a child. That means your brain thinks people who look like that are attractive. That means you are one of those depraved psychopaths." In an effort to distance themselves from the entire idea, people have over corrected hard. Which leads to people saying things like they said to her in the video.
I'm short too and I worked in an administrative position for a while. I was a manager and people just wouldn't take me seriously or won't believe I'm the manager. I had to be strict, mean, wear make up that will sharpen my features and wear "mature attire" that I don't like just to be taken seriously
I got called once at work one time, being a shorter male. I was sitting outside in my somewhat nice outfit and i had my badge on showing i was a teacher. A police officer comes up to me and was like " Hey, shouldn't you be in clash right now" i looked at him and showed my badge to him. He was like oh sorry sorry you liked a middle school kid. We laughed about it but i was like I'm a 25 year old man. I know it's not the same but that's what made me think of.
And me on the opposite scale, I've been taller than most people most of my life, being a boy and tall seems to attract the worst attention, other boys would attempt to fight me to show how tough they are, or try to be intimidating or belittling to show how they're "not intimidated" by me, just talk to me normally please, I really don't care about you like that, I'm tall but I'm not a violent person. Also being tall you always get lumbered with any chore that is high up, I have to kill spiders on the ceiling or paint the ceiling etc 😂
As a short girl enthusiast (seriously, it's in my twitter handle) all of this honestly makes me so mad. Every time a short girl laments her shortness I die a little inside, and every time I hear about people making women feel bad or awkward or undesirable for being short I want to throttle them. I also feel a little bit of this BS myself cause whenever I express interest in short women there's always some weirdo in the wings waiting to accuse me of being a pdf file. It's gross. I see you, short girls! You're sexy and beautiful and smart and respected! 😭
That sucks that there are people out there who accuses someone who's with a short stacked person for PDFile, like huh??? Are you ok?? What gives you that mindset
@@mevi-smolsummoner Just to clarify, because I see a lot of people misuse that term for some reason? A "shortstack" refers specifically to a short woman with big boobs. "Short" and "stacked". A lot of short women are NOT stacked, and it's just as messed up to treat them like children as any other adult.
When women are young they want to look older. And when women are older they want to look younger. People just need to remember that everyone is different and that what makes them special and unique. Just remember to love who you, are and stop worrying about what others think about you.
This reminds me of when I was a teenager (I'm male) I used to wear my hair really long and people would think it was okay to just touch it and it always freaked me out
I agree with her on how the lines with how younger people are supposed to look is blurred, I think the main thing is that teens and young kids are so much more around make up/fashion influencers that make them feel bad for looking like a kid DESPITE BEING 13!!!! XD. Like it is sad, and i hope that younger people can work on breaking those addictions cause they are kids and companies like insta and twitter and (MAYBE) facebook, abuse how easy it is to get kids hooked.
On that first note: men being seen as attracted to minors is definitely a real fear they have, so I get it. But openly saying to a small woman that they look like a kid therefore can’t be beautiful is weird. Like there were small women in college who I genuinely thought were kids from afar, but then you get closer and talk to them and they’re clearly grown ass adults. You being unable to see them as an adult is a YOU problem dude. Either treat them like an adult or don’t talk to them at all.
The amount of girls that I know that are cute, sexy, and hot at the same time is astronomical. The idea of someone being unable to be sexy or beautiful because they're short is absolutely absurd.
I've literally had a friend her size when I was in elementary school and i was a foot taller and i never considered picking her up or anything like that. Some people just don't know boundaries.
When you build an Internet personality and act friendly towards your audience they feel a connection. Your fans know more about you (or at least what you tell them about yourself) than they know about their friends irl. This is why your fans have no boundaries and say things that cross the line, they feel like they know you like a close friend and act too familiar.
I slowly just started getting sad watching this video. Personally, I’ve never done any of what they were talking about (mostly because no one ever interacts me), but I can sympathize with them. I do feel treating people like how these two were treated would push them into doing less than savory things just to prove they aren’t what others think.
Im only 6" tall, but in general Men as tall or taller than me are very chill, patient, and kinda just laid back. Wee girls are super spunky and girly and its such a perfect complimentary vibe to us tall guys. They bring out our silly fun and playful side. Also, short girls seem to all be terrifyingly well organized and driven. 6:10
People need to get out more. One half of my family is mostly 6ft 2 or 6ft 4 and the other half is 4ft 8 and at the highest 5ft 5. There's a lot of different people in the world.
It's the complete opposite for men, I've been over 6 foot since I was like 14. I actually had to get a state issue iD because cops picked me up and wouldn't believe i was a minor till my family came with paper work to show i was a minor. The crazy thing is they still wouldn't let me go and I step the weekend in booking. Oh and I was picked up for being in a state park after Sunday, I literally live like 10 mins away from the park but I didn't have a school iD but all my friends did and got sent home.
For me I'm not that tall, I'm 5'11 but look really serious so ever since I was 19/20 everyone thought I was 30+ which also sucks, as per if I try to approach a girl my age she thinks I'm 10 years older than her 😩
@@Niraol 5'11 is actually still slightly tall versus the average US American height of 5'9. I've also had issues looking older than I was, but I grew a beard relatively young so that plus being 6 ft meant people took me for being late 20's when I was 17/18. lol
I grew up with the opposite myself, being a below average height guy. Some acquaintances and friends occasionally did the armrest shtick and whatever, but the biggest thing is being mistaken for a high-schooler when I was already old enough to drink. It's funny though because on the other hand, I grew a mustache by 13-14. But facial hair still didn't fix the issue until I decided to grow a beard. Grass is always greener on the other side.
God I wish I could see. But the thing is I also don’t want the “immersion” to be broken you know? But yeah whoever said “you can’t be sexy because you’re small” was _insane._ Shortstacks are THE BEST.
I say weird & do things to my close short friends all the time, but an important part of it is that we have a repoire and intimacy where we can laugh about it. It's fun to tease your friends as long as they know you do it specifically because you trust them and think they're cool people. I can't imagine myself treating strangers like this, but I can see it happening.
If you're short, people look down on you, if your tall people put you on some type of pedastol like it makes life easier when society is bulit for average sized people. being outside the average just makes it harder or more uncomfortable to exist in society
Is the person you're talking too chronically on twitter? Imagine telling someone they will never be sexy and its wrong to think they are because of their height
its bad enough to find classy looking clothes at those body sizes that doesn't look like they are out of the kids section, you aren't even allowed to wear anime merch cause people automatically put you in the kid category then. your reaction should not be "oh short equals kid" but "this tiny latina concentrates her rage in a smaller frame, if she gets angry she will go full attack on titan on my ass and I have no plot armor, so I should be cordial."
What?! I have never understood how someone can act this way to people in general, let alone because of their height. This is actually infuriating and I’m a tall guy!
As a 6'4" guy I feel like I'm destined to end up with a 4'11 firecracker of a woman. I just have that gut feeling. The universe has a sense of humor and I feel like it's going to stick two extremes together. The towering soft-spoken guy and the big attitude in a small package.
On the discussion of teenagers trying to look older... it genuinely unnerves me when a fucking pre-teen's trying to rock a coquette aesthetic... like... ENJOY YOUR CHILDHOODS, DAMN!
Mousey's remarks in the middle of this clip reminded me of a youthful trauma: I accidentally kabedon'd a short friend in the hallway in high school once. What I was _really_ doing was catching myself against the wall because I had a knee injury and the damn thing had just buckled on me without warning, and she just happened to be standing there, but to everyone around, it seriously looked like I had just suddenly decided to go for the gold. I'm not sure which of us was more embarrassed by the sudden chorus of _woooooo_ that erupted around us.
... sigh. I am short. My whole family is short. My in-laws are tall. Their whole family is tall. My late wife was taller than me. When visiting her family, one of her brother's young kids was talking about how much he wanted a motorcycle. I said that motorcycles scare me, and he said I'd understand "when I grew up". I HAD NO COMEBACK, especially since I wasn't that much taller than the kid. Like even explaining "look... this is... as tall as I get. I come from short stock" does not make for burn salve!
This sounds sad, for the people they're talking about, not them. I have issues with my voice to me, sounding young, imagine just being short,you cant even change that
I'm a tall guy, 6'5", and I'd never do any of these things unless I've known the person for a really long time and know that they are comfortable with a joke, not the touching thing tho, thats just odd. Height is one of those things a lot of people are insecure about, so why would anyone put someone else down like that? Sounds like a great way to speedrun the end of any kind of friendship with them.
I never got how people couldnt deal with suort people you jsut treat them normally, the head pat thing is maybe the one thing I am guilty of too but I just really like doing it regardless of hight its just somuch easier with small people (I would never do it to a stranger and when I do it it's mostly menat to tease a friend in afriendly manner)
This is probably a case of "grass is always greener on the other side" but as an attention starved man the idea of being so short and cute that everyone wants to pick me up and pat my head sounds really nice.
0:51 There's an ancient (by RUclips standards anyway) video of Nyanners talking about scumbags saying pretty much this sort of disgusting sentiment, a sentiment that has aged poorly considering her successful content creation career 😂
My longest friend, who's been my friend for about like 7 years (and dated once when we were very young but that's beside the point) is very short, because in the Phillipines women are just much more shorter genetically. Never once did I think she looked like a child even with my really bad face-blindness. Some people just have a skill issue
As a 5'2" guy, people always (does not matter who it is) mime physical violence around me. Punching, kicking, smacking, body slamming, etc. All day long this happens because I'm a small man. And what was said about short men is sadly very true. I have a long way to go in regards to giving shorter women some room to breathe.
I’m about average height but was a late bloomer in middle school. I was shorter than a lot of other boys and got called “Frodo” a lot. And my younger brother and sister shot past me, so I had a complex about my height until I reached adulthood.
I've noticed some Vtubers look like a less exaggerated version of their model in real life. If that's anything to go by, Mouse is probably quite attractive.
I love short girls because I am tall and have back problems so it's hard for me to reach stuff down low. So if I can do the tall stuff and they can do the short stuff it's convenient.

@@KhronicD I heard about a study in Europe, not so long ago, that concluded that younger Gen Z has a healthier relationship with online culture than Gen Y and the older Gen Z. The younger Gen Z learn to question more what they see online and overreact less, possibly because their parents and teachers are more aware of online culture themselves and they protect/prepare the kids more.
@@sebdhaese let us hope that it's just the loudest outliers like it usually is and the majority turn out relatively normal.
Yea, thats just a them problem. You can line up 100 short women and 1 kid who is the same size and any normal person can spot the kid 100% of the time. If you see a short women and think about kids, that's a you problem.

Edit: I have had that urge to headpat or pick up smaller people, but ONLY when we're very close and I know they're ok with it. Doing something like that to a stranger or even a casual acquaintance feels like some level of sociopathy.

this is hella relatable, it wasn’t until i moved to japan that people stopped commenting about my height and people stopped treating me like a child because most my friends there were the same height
I'm afraid of moving to the netherlands being from spain. I'm 152cm and the netherlands is the top 1 country in the world with the tallest people afaik. When I was in Denmark people though I was underage all the time (I was 28). It's happened throught all my adult life tho even here in Spain because I have a babyface too or something (I don't even know). I also feel like people would never see me as a potential romantic partner because of my height and small chest which makes me look even more childlike. I've been told I'm like a loli (bro eew).

Wouldn't know unless she clarifies herself.
@@LemonCloud420 she was talking about people who rag on her height, and you're complaining about someone saying "smash". essentially saying "nah, I'd hit" is a wierd, strange, and terrible flirting tactic if I use twitter extrapolation methods at 1% power.
@@LemonCloud420 She was mostly talking about people who treat her differently due to her height, overall size and appearance. Like treating her like a child generally or any fetishism of the traits that are part of who she is (Everything from her size to ethnicity to medical condition).
Simply saying that she is "Wholesome" but, with as much respect as possible, that they would "Smash" is not contextually part of the discussion she is having. Sure, it's kinda odd and might have motives based in what she is talking about. We honestly don't know ErikPT's motivation for saying it.
At best we can say perhaps it fall's under the overall "Not being treated like a normal person" part of the discussion, but it's bound to happen with popular and known people. As long as it's not any more vulgar than that, or hyper specific about why, then it shouldn't be that big of a deal to say something along those lines in passing.
She is pretty wholesome and, respectfully, also "Smashable".
I wish her the best and hope she is able to find more people who will treat her like a normal person, perhaps even find a partner among them to share her life with.
Do I hope it to be me? No, I am a happily married man in my 40's and a complete mess of a person in general. I'm truly undeserving of the amazing woman I married and had children with. But I am grateful that she did and I do my best to be better for her every day.
All that said Mouse is a wholesome and wonderful person, I'm sure whom ever she finds will be just as grateful as I am with my wife.
Would I "Smash' if my life were different and the situation arose? Yes, I don't know what to say other than it's a simple & honest answer to a simple, if exceptionally hypothetical, question.
The reason it's such a massive hypothetical is the fact I'm a nobody in Australia and she is a highly successful V-Tuber in the US, I have more of a chance of knowing Joey "The Animeman" than her due to geographical proximity. Guess who I don't personally know just because we are both Australians, Joey.
And yes, if I swung that way, I would "Smash" Joey. Though, I would be thinking of Garnt the whole time. Nothing against for Conner, but I'm just not into Welshmen (As in women who are Welsh as well).

True, what's your height anyway
Just ignore those people TBH, people who are that weird about height are ridiculous. Being average height I just love women. Shorter, same height, much taller than me, at the end of the day I care they're good people and have fun personalities. I'm pretty sure most normal people are the same. Also gotta be very strict with your boundaries, if someone is making you uncomfortable you gotta be upfront about it, even if they don't mean to be they should understand by you telling them.
lol no, all these "problems" are your "normal people" being normal.
You only get female privilege by trying to coast on a VERY narrow margin of bigotry allowed to normal women. It's conformist like Japanese soceity, and if you're a bit short you don't get treated "different": you get treated like men.
If you're cute enough you will be treated like a young boy. And I do mean, thre's MANY types of predators out there, but only one real kind of protection, and that's women's. People LOVE when a boy get assualted adn they get to beat up a predator, it's like a freebie, "nobody" got hurt. A boy is like the cheese in a mouse trap.
No man can say "omg don't you realize how weird that sounds?". Because that's typical women behavior. No women even stick out acting weird or making people uncofmortable, people just roll with it until they're evolved into Karens with zero boundaries.
@@VVV-yt4lu Im 5’
I hate when people say stuff like that. One of the women I was involved with was both cute and sexy. They don't have to be mutually exclusive terms.
I find full grow women who have a cuteness factor to them to be more attractive and sexy than a woman who tries to look attractive with makeup and tight closes. Give me the oversized hoodie small woman, I'm happy.
Cute girls can still be sexy and beautiful at the same time tho, even if the cute girl is short. Cute girls can also be cool too. The people that says the opposite is dumb.
I'm a 5'4 guy. It's not because short women are our "only hope". They understand what it's like to be treated differently for their height, so maybe they can empathize with us and, you know... Not treat us like kids or consider us creeps?
My short brothers deserve the respect us tall guys do
even short girls don't like y'all. There's literally no hope unless you're rich for short guys.
Yea how they just threw short guys under the bus immediately was pretty gross. But, hey miserable people are nasty to others. You have to understand mouse's cute personality is a mask. She is miserable, and puts others down often.
They were more specifically talking about super clingy short guy's, who literally act like a short woman is their only option.
Look, I'm by no means super short but I am the shortest guy in my family by 15cm (6 inches for those in the US). I'm on the shorter side of average overall, but still within the average height range. So, I am not saying I completely live the short guy experience....but I am saying I know what it's like to be the shortest guy around.
Even among my friends, most of them are taller and more manly looking than me. So, it's not like I am not speaking from some experience here.
Be comfortable with who you are and don't latch onto short (or any other height etc for that matter) women like a drowning man would a life preserver. I've seen guy's who were friends of my friends that were a foot shorter than me owning their life and being able to attract women like no ones business. They were not insecure about their height and would laugh and clap back with some crazy witty remarks at anyone who tried to use it against them.
Wit, self-confidence and being comfortable with yourself as you are is all you need guys.
Like I said, I am not the tallest guy either, yet I was able to have several great girlfriends (Some literally taller than me by at least 10cm, 4 inches for the US) in my life before marrying an amazing woman. I was always platonic friends with them before and after, treat people like they are people first and be comfortable with who you are, the rest just flows from there.
It's that simple.
As I pointed out, they were specifically talking about desperate and clingy short guys, not all short guys. The conversation around that part centred around people touching their heads, picking them up and generally treating them differently due to their height.
They won't understand the perspective of a guy who is as short or just slightly taller than them because they are not guys. They are talking from their experience as short women, maybe listen and understand what it's like for them. Take that information and then apply it yourselves, as in don't gravitate to short women and be desperately clingy. Help not doing what taller people do to them, perhaps even point out it's quite rude to do things like that when other's do it. But do it in a friendly, off handed manner then go back to doing what you were doing before.
The idea is to not be seen as some white knight or as a desperately attached guy, but to be a person who has listened to these women in the video and understands that they are people who just want to be treated normally like everyone else. Just like you do.
If the topic comes up then sure, tell people (regardless of who asked you or their height) frankly what it's like as a shorter guy. Say it's a different experience to shorter women due to the similar gendered societal expectations of what a man or woman "Should be". But roll with it, and don't linger on the topic because you will be seen as a complaining little short man due to those "societal norms".
Like I said, I'm not the tallest or traditionally "manliest" of guys. So, not dwelling on what makes me seen as "Lesser" is something I am familiar with. It's just how we have to be to get by in the world guys. Be comfortable with yourself as you are and treat others with the decency of being a person first and foremost. As you wish to be treated yourselves no doubt, not as a "Short guy" right?
@@frankie2488 Gee, I wonder why she is miserable...could it be that she has next to no autonomy due to her condition perhaps? Most people have not been through half the crap she has, frankly it's a miracle her masking is as positive and up beat as it is.
Lord knows my masking isn't, at best I usually come off as a sarcastic jerk. I put others down, I troll and I even straight up insult people to their faces with masking. Guess what I'm like without it...
I do and say the most vile things without thinking because of my conditions. I have had friends not talk to me for a week after I jokingly say something because they thought I was serious. Most of the time, I don;t mean literally the things I say in the moment, but the sentiment or a specific instance of what I am talking about is usually what I am saying stuff about. It just comes out half with a hearted attempt to parse for a correction because I'm either too tired &/or sore to think before speaking.
Typing is clearly different, as I can usually take my time and find the right words to say most of the time.
But yeah, I don't blame Mouse for being cynical, bitter or generally an unkind person without the masking. I live that, I sympathise without knowing how much worse her life has been than mine. And yes, her life has been far worse than mine. I can at least leave my house when ever I want to without taking an ambulance worth of medical equipment with me. I have limited autonomy, but not that limited. And the small limitations I personally face are infuriating enough, I wouldn't be half as nice as her, or attempt to be with masking, if I faced Mouse's issues.
But sure, you completely miss the entire conversation and focus on one part in a vacuum. The saying is "Missing the Forrest for the Tree's" for a reason mate, meanwhile you're focused on the branch of one of those trees so hard you didn't even realise there were other tree's at all.
I don't know you, I don't know if you've experienced any issues like me or Mouse and I sure as hell don't care one way or the other. What's clear is that you have a bone to pick and you're incapable of hearing what's said when you listen to people, you only hear what you want to and focus on that to the exclusion of context surrounding it.
And that may not be "Gross"; It's worse, it's a stupid display of how ignorant you are to others and how little you actually retain when being spoken to. You attempted to garner support from the short guys by appealing to a baseline knee-jerk reaction to part of what was said.
Sound's pretty manipulative and "Gross" of you to do that, right?
Interpreting things incorrectly to suit one's narrative is easy to do, kinda hard to prove to be factual once someone points out the correct interpretation though.
Like I said, I don't know anything about you but I created a narrative about you and what you said out of nothing but one of many ways to interpret what you said.
How about chill, be a bit more understanding of others situations and try to hear everything that's being said rather than cherry pick one specific part within the whole, ok?
I honestly don’t understand people touching other people without permission even as friends, no matter the height cause that’s so weird
It's a culturally and inappropriate
I don't like it either
>even as friends
Depends, are your friends uptight or can you mess with them and banter?
The weird stuff I've heard about random people touching pregnant women... like for normal people nah that's weird but touching someone pregnant is another level of insensitivity to the privacy of others.
I have dated a short woman once and she was more adult than most of the women I dated. I don’t know why some people feel weird dating a short woman

We don't headpat people we don't know.
We don't really approach people we don't know unless we have a valid reason, like asking where a store or restaurant is.
We use to approach people to get to know them, but that was years ago when we were much younger.
We've become more anxious and paranoid, even developing trust issues, as we got older.
So approaching people we don't know to try to get to know them is more than a little stressful.
But going up to someone unfamiliar to headpat them *without permission* or *physically pick them up* randomly is… well, no matter who you are, that is extremely rude.
And in some places can even be considered harrassment.
We feel bad for Iron Mouse and her friend.

My uncle was a successful jockey @ 5'2 he never married, nor had a girlfriend. He had no issues talking to women, he was just always rejected. He was the most optimistic guy I ever knew, & he always said there is "someone for everyone." Even going as far as taking time cheering me up, when I was a teen filled with doubts.
He tried to hide his sadness, but sometimes I could see it on his face at reunions etc. and died single.
He was really a great guy, & it makes me sad when I think about the fact that people just couldn't see past his height.
I'm short, but not only do I enjoy the head pats, I also give them out to taller people and shorter people alike as a form of endearment.
thats adorable, im 6'2" and love headpats but never get them lol
People that look at a short and or petite woman and think of children, especially THAT WAY are clearly projecting. All they're doing is outing themselves.
My ex is 5' and rail thin. The amount of disrespect that she received because she's a small woman was INSANE and everything they say rings so true for her experience too. It was infuriating to be around.
As someone who was like the shortest person in their class for all of school, aye. All of this. When I moved to the coast (where there is a lot of asians) most of the this went away.
I had a friend of mine way back in high school. She was older than I was, I was a freshman she was a senior. But I'm 6'5" and she quite literally came up to my belly button. Heh, part of the reason she became my friend. We were in line and she turned around and just grinned: "You're really tall...wanna be friends?".
Later I developed a bit of a crush on her. She was just really fun to be around. It didn't go anywhere, and that's fine. But yeah, her size didn't make me think she was a child, I'm used to being taller than people. She just happened to be extra small.
People throw around the word p*do like it's going out of style these days much like every other one of those terms (N*zi, things like this). That one in particular, though, people LOVE to throw around, it's like we all know that's one of the worst things you can say to or about someone, and so everyone just wants to throw that out as the first line of attack
That's the thing. It is the change in the cultural opinion of that subject that is influencing people to think like this. I'm from Canada and the age of consent only changed from 14 to 16 in 2008.
Ask the average person today whether they thought it was legal for any adult to have s*x with people who are 14 sixteen years ago and they'd likely tell you absolutely not. That entire concept seems unthinkable.
The concept that there is a real difference between 14 year old people and 18 year old people is really only an idea that has been around for about 100-150 years. It used to be "children" (younger than 14) and "adults" (who have the full ability and rights of any other adult). During the late 19th century and early 20th century studies started coming out saying that people's brains we're still developing up until their early 20s.
That's when the idea of "adolescence" was created. Now, it started entering the public consciousness that people between the ages of 14 and 18 were not quite adults but also not quite children either. The general opinion became that these people weren't allowed to make decisions anymore and needed to be protected.
As that opinion grew over the last 100 years, it became stronger and stronger. I remember people saying things in the 1980s and 1990s to the effect of "Some 14 year olds are more mature than others. You can't put a hard number on who is mature and who isn't. It's on a case per case basis. Sometimes it is acceptable and sometimes it isn't."
This is all to say that somewhere around the early to mid 2000s there was suddenly a huge movement to "fix" the world. Part of this was a general opinion that people of the past were horrible people who stood by and watched horrible things happen. That refusing to speak up about bad things happens was just as bad as doing the horrible things yourself. This resulted in a cultural crackdown on anything that was considered immoral or wrong and a belief that if you weren't attempting to fix a problem then you were CAUSING it.
This caused people to becomes super defensive over things. It went from "That might be acceptable for some people but not for me" to "Anyone who does that sort of thing is a depraved psychopath who needs to be taken out." Then it went to "Eww, you would date that person? They kind of LOOK like a child. That means your brain thinks people who look like that are attractive. That means you are one of those depraved psychopaths."
In an effort to distance themselves from the entire idea, people have over corrected hard. Which leads to people saying things like they said to her in the video.
SMOL IS JUSTICE!

I'm short too and I worked in an administrative position for a while. I was a manager and people just wouldn't take me seriously or won't believe I'm the manager. I had to be strict, mean, wear make up that will sharpen my features and wear "mature attire" that I don't like just to be taken seriously
I got called once at work one time, being a shorter male. I was sitting outside in my somewhat nice outfit and i had my badge on showing i was a teacher. A police officer comes up to me and was like " Hey, shouldn't you be in clash right now" i looked at him and showed my badge to him. He was like oh sorry sorry you liked a middle school kid. We laughed about it but i was like I'm a 25 year old man. I know it's not the same but that's what made me think of.
And me on the opposite scale, I've been taller than most people most of my life, being a boy and tall seems to attract the worst attention, other boys would attempt to fight me to show how tough they are, or try to be intimidating or belittling to show how they're "not intimidated" by me, just talk to me normally please, I really don't care about you like that, I'm tall but I'm not a violent person.
Also being tall you always get lumbered with any chore that is high up, I have to kill spiders on the ceiling or paint the ceiling etc 😂

As a short girl enthusiast (seriously, it's in my twitter handle) all of this honestly makes me so mad. Every time a short girl laments her shortness I die a little inside, and every time I hear about people making women feel bad or awkward or undesirable for being short I want to throttle them. I also feel a little bit of this BS myself cause whenever I express interest in short women there's always some weirdo in the wings waiting to accuse me of being a pdf file. It's gross.

@@mevi-smolsummoner Just to clarify, because I see a lot of people misuse that term for some reason? A "shortstack" refers specifically to a short woman with big boobs. "Short" and "stacked".

@@ValkyrieTiara oh ok, thank you for the clarification
Those Antis are missing out on pure-hearted shortstacks.
When women are young they want to look older.
And when women are older they want to look younger.
People just need to remember that everyone is different and that what makes them special and unique.
Just remember to love who you, are and stop worrying about what others think about you.
This reminds me of when I was a teenager (I'm male) I used to wear my hair really long and people would think it was okay to just touch it and it always freaked me out
So when I’m hearing is, and I’ve observed this too, is that people forget to treat people like a person rather than like a joke
I agree with her on how the lines with how younger people are supposed to look is blurred, I think the main thing is that teens and young kids are so much more around make up/fashion influencers that make them feel bad for looking like a kid DESPITE BEING 13!!!! XD. Like it is sad, and i hope that younger people can work on breaking those addictions cause they are kids and companies like insta and twitter and (MAYBE) facebook, abuse how easy it is to get kids hooked.
On that first note: men being seen as attracted to minors is definitely a real fear they have, so I get it. But openly saying to a small woman that they look like a kid therefore can’t be beautiful is weird. Like there were small women in college who I genuinely thought were kids from afar, but then you get closer and talk to them and they’re clearly grown ass adults. You being unable to see them as an adult is a YOU problem dude. Either treat them like an adult or don’t talk to them at all.
The amount of girls that I know that are cute, sexy, and hot at the same time is astronomical.
The idea of someone being unable to be sexy or beautiful because they're short is absolutely absurd.
you can't change what other people think without changing what you think
I've literally had a friend her size when I was in elementary school and i was a foot taller and i never considered picking her up or anything like that. Some people just don't know boundaries.
im sorry yall went thru that
When you build an Internet personality and act friendly towards your audience they feel a connection. Your fans know more about you (or at least what you tell them about yourself) than they know about their friends irl. This is why your fans have no boundaries and say things that cross the line, they feel like they know you like a close friend and act too familiar.
I'm pretty sure this video isn't about her audience, it's about random people she's met in real life...
I slowly just started getting sad watching this video. Personally, I’ve never done any of what they were talking about (mostly because no one ever interacts me), but I can sympathize with them. I do feel treating people like how these two were treated would push them into doing less than savory things just to prove they aren’t what others think.
a certain "disrespectful doctor" may be already checking off their key prerequisites... be advised, enemy care package inbound...
Im only 6" tall, but in general Men as tall or taller than me are very chill, patient, and kinda just laid back. Wee girls are super spunky and girly and its such a perfect complimentary vibe to us tall guys. They bring out our silly fun and playful side. Also, short girls seem to all be terrifyingly well organized and driven. 6:10
My guy, only 6' you're in the top 30 percent. I'm 6'2 and in the top 15 or so.
And I need to meet the short girls you're talking about. Ones I see are gremlins. Each have different experiences ig
Short Queens and Kings deserve love too. Stay awesome Mousey.
People need to get out more. One half of my family is mostly 6ft 2 or 6ft 4 and the other half is 4ft 8 and at the highest 5ft 5. There's a lot of different people in the world.
It's the complete opposite for men, I've been over 6 foot since I was like 14. I actually had to get a state issue iD because cops picked me up and wouldn't believe i was a minor till my family came with paper work to show i was a minor. The crazy thing is they still wouldn't let me go and I step the weekend in booking. Oh and I was picked up for being in a state park after Sunday, I literally live like 10 mins away from the park but I didn't have a school iD but all my friends did and got sent home.
For me I'm not that tall, I'm 5'11 but look really serious so ever since I was 19/20 everyone thought I was 30+ which also sucks, as per if I try to approach a girl my age she thinks I'm 10 years older than her 😩
@@Niraol 5'11 is actually still slightly tall versus the average US American height of 5'9. I've also had issues looking older than I was, but I grew a beard relatively young so that plus being 6 ft meant people took me for being late 20's when I was 17/18. lol
I grew up with the opposite myself, being a below average height guy. Some acquaintances and friends occasionally did the armrest shtick and whatever, but the biggest thing is being mistaken for a high-schooler when I was already old enough to drink.
It's funny though because on the other hand, I grew a mustache by 13-14. But facial hair still didn't fix the issue until I decided to grow a beard.
Grass is always greener on the other side.
They are called short queens for a reason
God I wish I could see. But the thing is I also don’t want the “immersion” to be broken you know? But yeah whoever said “you can’t be sexy because you’re small” was _insane._ Shortstacks are THE BEST.
I say weird & do things to my close short friends all the time, but an important part of it is that we have a repoire and intimacy where we can laugh about it. It's fun to tease your friends as long as they know you do it specifically because you trust them and think they're cool people. I can't imagine myself treating strangers like this, but I can see it happening.
If you're short, people look down on you, if your tall people put you on some type of pedastol like it makes life easier when society is bulit for average sized people. being outside the average just makes it harder or more uncomfortable to exist in society
As the widely considered "tall guy" across the people I know, I consider everyone short so I think anyone can be cute or sexy regardless of height.
Monkeee be like nah thats my gremlin
Short people are in demand for sure. The tall height fascination is a social media clout thing.
Shortstacks are one of gods greatest gifts to mankind.
The height of consent
bro, people who think short people cant have adult rights. the height of consent, the voice of consent. wtf is wrong with people
Is the person you're talking too chronically on twitter?
Imagine telling someone they will never be sexy and its wrong to think they are because of their height
its bad enough to find classy looking clothes at those body sizes that doesn't look like they are out of the kids section, you aren't even allowed to wear anime merch cause people automatically put you in the kid category then. your reaction should not be "oh short equals kid" but "this tiny latina concentrates her rage in a smaller frame, if she gets angry she will go full attack on titan on my ass and I have no plot armor, so I should be cordial."
Some people just like to tear others down. I’m sure you’re fantastic.
What?! I have never understood how someone can act this way to people in general, let alone because of their height. This is actually infuriating and I’m a tall guy!
I'm a very tall guy and I have said to my friends something along the lines of "Why are you so small????"
As a 6'4" guy I feel like I'm destined to end up with a 4'11 firecracker of a woman. I just have that gut feeling. The universe has a sense of humor and I feel like it's going to stick two extremes together. The towering soft-spoken guy and the big attitude in a small package.
On the discussion of teenagers trying to look older... it genuinely unnerves me when a fucking pre-teen's trying to rock a coquette aesthetic... like... ENJOY YOUR CHILDHOODS, DAMN!
Mousey's remarks in the middle of this clip reminded me of a youthful trauma: I accidentally kabedon'd a short friend in the hallway in high school once. What I was _really_ doing was catching myself against the wall because I had a knee injury and the damn thing had just buckled on me without warning, and she just happened to be standing there, but to everyone around, it seriously looked like I had just suddenly decided to go for the gold. I'm not sure which of us was more embarrassed by the sudden chorus of _woooooo_ that erupted around us.
i have no clue how there are people who haven't touched grass enough to know short people exist
As a fellow shorty, you tall peeps gotta blow your noses more. Also wear more deodorant while you’re at it.
At 6’4 I view most people as short
It would be more accurate to view them as normalsized yourself as taller
It is like telling somebody it is their responsibility to be alone to not attract the wrong ones. It isnt right or fair.
Anger from 'Inside Out' issues right here
... sigh. I am short. My whole family is short. My in-laws are tall. Their whole family is tall. My late wife was taller than me. When visiting her family, one of her brother's young kids was talking about how much he wanted a motorcycle. I said that motorcycles scare me, and he said I'd understand "when I grew up". I HAD NO COMEBACK, especially since I wasn't that much taller than the kid. Like even explaining "look... this is... as tall as I get. I come from short stock" does not make for burn salve!
When i was 15, people would think i was like 18 or 19 because of my long hair.
This sounds sad, for the people they're talking about, not them. I have issues with my voice to me, sounding young, imagine just being short,you cant even change that
I'm a tall guy, 6'5", and I'd never do any of these things unless I've known the person for a really long time and know that they are comfortable with a joke, not the touching thing tho, thats just odd.
Height is one of those things a lot of people are insecure about, so why would anyone put someone else down like that? Sounds like a great way to speedrun the end of any kind of friendship with them.
Am I the only one that thinks being cute is better than being hot/sexy?
I never got how people couldnt deal with suort people you jsut treat them normally, the head pat thing is maybe the one thing I am guilty of too but I just really like doing it regardless of hight its just somuch easier with small people (I would never do it to a stranger and when I do it it's mostly menat to tease a friend in afriendly manner)
its like you either get the people who see you as a child for your height or if they DO see you as an adult, its purely out of a fetish/ sexualization
I was an armrest in high school. To this day, I still get picked up without permission. I'm short, but I ain't no king.
This is probably a case of "grass is always greener on the other side" but as an attention starved man the idea of being so short and cute that everyone wants to pick me up and pat my head sounds really nice.
0:51 There's an ancient (by RUclips standards anyway) video of Nyanners talking about scumbags saying pretty much this sort of disgusting sentiment, a sentiment that has aged poorly considering her successful content creation career 😂
now i don't pick up people randomly, but if you go for a hug with a guy who is six five, you're getting lifted off the ground.
i believe in shortstack supremacy.
My longest friend, who's been my friend for about like 7 years (and dated once when we were very young but that's beside the point) is very short, because in the Phillipines women are just much more shorter genetically. Never once did I think she looked like a child even with my really bad face-blindness. Some people just have a skill issue
As a 5'2" guy, people always (does not matter who it is) mime physical violence around me. Punching, kicking, smacking, body slamming, etc. All day long this happens because I'm a small man. And what was said about short men is sadly very true. I have a long way to go in regards to giving shorter women some room to breathe.
I’m about average height but was a late bloomer in middle school. I was shorter than a lot of other boys and got called “Frodo” a lot. And my younger brother and sister shot past me, so I had a complex about my height until I reached adulthood.
I've noticed some Vtubers look like a less exaggerated version of their model in real life. If that's anything to go by, Mouse is probably quite attractive.
forever a fan of the petite!!!
I love short girls because I am tall and have back problems so it's hard for me to reach stuff down low. So if I can do the tall stuff and they can do the short stuff it's convenient.
