What the Fat Acceptance Movement did right.

I would never accept fat but I will also never accept "Short Acceptance" because I don't think it will benefit me personally. I'm totally convinced that I'm undesirable and unattractive because the human female and her primitive lizard brain is built to love masculine males, and being 5'10" and above is a major sign of that. I'm convinced that if I was at least 5'11", I would've had quite a line of hot ladies waiting to date me, and I estimate this based on the amount of unattractive and plain looking women that are currently willing (i.e., tolerant) to date me as it is. The primitive male brain will also automatically rule out short men as competition, which is why a lot of short men usually adopt submissive and pacifist behavior to pair bond or hard ass, in your face, typical "short man syndrome" behavior to compete against these taller/tall men that have it much easier; it's a behavior that I do see often, even against other short men. I really do believe there is a case for a Napoleon Complex, but not in the way people are using it today, but a massive need to overcompensate to fully compete in mating, social standing, and resources because these short men are born with a natural disadvantage. Half a group of short men in a volcano lair will never agree how to dominate and rule the earth because all of them will fall argue as to who will be Napoleon, while the other half will Garmin the fuck out of each other.

With fatness: there's nothing attractive about a round body, round face, fat eyelids, double chins, and greasy rolls. It's not a shock that it's disgusting and why there is even a thriving and growing sub reddit that hates fat people, because it makes sense: eating way too much and enlarging because of it is gross, unhealthy, and dangerous. The more FA, the more FPH, and rightly so. Why isn't there hate for thick women, who have just the right amount of fat in the right places to be very sexy and attractive? I've seen women with some juicy upper arms and thick thighs, and have small guts, not at all gross to look at, almost a flat stomach, but those women are accepted. Some of my past coworkers looked like that, and handsome tall men were constantly hitting on them.

There is no Short Man Hate subreddit and it wouldn't thrive, because short men can be admired as individuals, but never as sexual beings. When it comes to sex and sexual competition, short men are non-existent, and when they make their presence felt, it causes desirable men to laugh and ridicule the competition to bolster their already cemented chances, and desirable women to run away, carrying their heels in hand. Some of the best characters and personalities to have existed came out of short men, so we have some degree of physical tolerance, as far as rampant ridicule movements like FPH or fat hate are concerned, but we do see hateful tweets and messages in isolation and on an individual level, which is only made in a sexual/physical/mating sense.

What doesn't make sense, at first glance, is why James Franco at 5'4" or a 5'4" Brad Pitt is seen as a disappointment and sometimes a turn off to the majority of (attractive) women. It's start to make sense when you look at the human female brain and how humans evolved and socialized over time. (I suggest reading up on biological dimorphism and evolutionary psychology of humans to see why mate selection is that way that it is). It's not their aesthetic that is disgusting, unattractive, undesirable, it's their height and smaller heads, bodies, arms, legs, hands, etc which does not exude physical masculinity, growth, and healthy/desirable genetic material--which is whether you like it or not, why women date men in the first place--for how they look. For example, Jessica Biel would not find James Franco as prime mating material, but instead sees 6'1" Justin Timberlake as just that, who is clearly less attractive than James Franco, 5'4" Brad Pitt, or Tom Cruise. It makes sense to me, and I'm not bitter about this, that short height in men accounts for a massive part of a man's attractiveness, more than any other physical feature, and is as a result of natural occurrences dictated by natural selection over a great period of time. I'd be angry and bitter if it was god that did this to me, but I feel much better that it was blind chance and selection that gave me this. I can move on and try to better my brief life in this universe, away from sexuality.

Fat Acceptance will always have Fat Hate because EATING A LOT is disgusting and unhealthy. I eat one sandwich, more or less, a day and that's enough. Even though I hate my height and sexuality, I still eat healthy so I live as pain free as possible. I don't want joint pain, or be unable to escape in time of danger. Humans evolved to walk upright and that causes some back problems as it is, but with excess fat it becomes a pain to the joints, especially the knees, and ankles, and feet. Fatness is gluttony in the human form. Short height? What's that, it's a curse that nature and genetics has dropped on our heads.

If Fat Acceptance is runaway successful, expect to see many whizzing super blobs on V8 motorized shopping carts at your local Kroger or grocery store.
