>>12813385>Males are supposed to be small and energy efficient. That's what masculinity actually is.5'6" here, I agree. I'm as strong and faster than most people, I barely have to eat, and I can easily navigate my environmental obstructions and fit in spaces. It is true that there are hard limitations that are a matter of physics, for example carrying something heavy, you may be able to lift and even throw it, but when it comes to putting it down (eg leaning over the edge of a crate) your lack of weight and center of gravity is going to cause you to get pulled in with it. Has only happened to me twice, but it was a weird feeling where I was left like "what just happened", The other downside is the obvious stuff, like leverage, arm span, etc. I don't really view larger people as a threat, but do recognize that if they can get you intoa grappling situation or back you into a corner, they're at a definite and possibly devastating advantage.
All and all, I was aware of "small man syndrome" in the case of men under 5 feet or so, but the whole manlet thing wasn't part of my awareness or experience until the internet. I've never really had any problem with women. Possibly the workplace thing is legit in terms of hierarchy and how people like to filter others into positions, but I'm not a cuck looking for acceptance or having power handed to me but other quasi-men, so I can't see myself entering into that kind of competitive sphere. It would be interesting to see how true the salary and height meme really is, and how dominance manifests in meme it out to be.
I also prefer women around my size, and with comparable build. Though I guess it's conceivably I could be attracted to a really tall woman, but I've never met any as such. Your projection for the future may be true as well. Life has been getting smaller in general, and various factors are causing children to be scrawnier overall. Eventually this wirey constitution will probably become shorter stature.
