    The number of responses in this thread that sound emotional is making me feel big and strong

    I love how OP restricted themselves to only respond in the mentioned phrases and how some have quite the reaction. Got me rolling.

    I’m actually a little surprised at the reactions in this thread. When I read this, I was thinking of my husband and friends I could casually drop these lines on, and it’s something we’d all laugh about. I guess I just wasn’t thinking of someone using any of these lines sincerely or maliciously, and idk I didnt get the vibe that OP is just a straight cunt that hates men. But I could be totally wrong.

    At any rate, somewhere in the thread below, u/wonderingwanderer created an alternate woman ragebait list, and that shit was hilarious as well. My personal favorite was “Act your weight”.

      I don’t know chippy, but I don’t get that vibe either. I can tell you that wanderingwonderer is known for throwing a tantrum every time men come up in conversation, so :shrug:

      Was act your weight at the bottom of that list? That is fucked up. xD

    Ok?

    Why though? Isn’t there enough misery and shittiness in the world as is? Why stoke the hostility?

    For fun?

    “Wow you got a new truck! I didn’t think you had a micropenis that small.”

    “Wauw you’re really overcompensating something huh, I wonder what, that is hahaha.”

    “Some men have this big dick energy, meaning they act chill because they know they don’t have to prove anything so they don’t behave like an asshole. It’s funny that you have the exact opposite.”

    “Awww did something hurt your little boy’s feelings? In my desk I have for you a tampon and a box of crayons, which one would you prefer?”

    “Why are you treating women that way, are you trying to hide your oedipus complex?”

    • Shuffleboard probably. Or stamp collecting (on the competitive circuit)
    • That would be ovaltine, but really I am just a sucker for post-WWII Americana
    • hike!
    • I just think of off the wall shit to be said, like “Eat a queer fetus for Jesus” or something
    • Thankfully, because I panic in a wading pool
    • oh, I’m midwestern, pal! Everything really is okay, buddy. Heck, it’s fantabulous!
    • As long as it’s not always wrong being hard
    • I heard, “Feeling big guys.” Screw it, I’m in.
    • Jack Daniels, specifically, and Nyquil (The ol’ Bohemian Cocktail, eh)
    • I… never notice, tbh
    • I am. Suffering is real.
    • I should act 6? That’s some not-okay RP, buddy.
    • I did, when it existed on my head. Now I do micro-perms.

      Wait. I don’t get it.

    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.

      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.

        ‘There is a form of socially acceptable discrimination against a subset of people based around a fundamental intrinsic element of those people that they are totally incapable of changing.’

        ‘Chin up, be strong, don’t let the bastards get you down!’

        Oh so … not a situation where we maybe need or could benefit from a serious society-wide discussion of this problem, the solution to this form of bigotry is uh… its a personal responsibility.

        Got it.

        I mean yea.

        But we need to accept life is harder for short guys. If you just want to get laid, harder. If you want a promotion, harder. If you want to be treated nicer, harder.

        All those things you said help and are good. But not not pretend hightism doesn’t exist.

        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.

      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.

    Nah, when someone says something that gets under my skin. I say to myself, ty for the lesson in things for which i am sensitive.

    If they keep it up, I cut them off. There’s no need to make everyone like me. I dont even like everyone.
