My daughter tells me that body shaming is a big thing among the girls "You can't say that it's body shaming!" Although apparently guys under 6" these days are considered short and will not be getting a girlfriend.
I do have to say, someone that short is going to have a lot of problems, least of which would be finding a mate. They’d have their pick of action heroes, though

(sorry, couldn’t resist)

The gals are going to have to be content pairing off with other gals, then, because the average height of the typical male of breeding age in the USA is about 5' 10". Hell, I'm 6' 4" (just a hair shy of two standard-deviations off normal) and can't find a decent one! (But I'm also rather picky having been in relationships that went badly.)
Maybe it's the start of a rejection of the notion of machismo? Who knows, but one can hope!

I’m really hoping you’re referring to height and you meant 6’

Coder noticed it first. Saying perhaps they could they could pair off with action hero's. He he.
Carl, you read my mind. I said almost exactly that. With a roughly 50/50 split, a lot of women will have cats if they can't settle for someone under 6'.

Suddeny an image of Mae West floats into my mind's eye ("Let's forget about the six feet and talk about the...").
