It's crazy how much height subconsciously influences our opinions of each other. I'm tall enough that most men don't look down at me, and I'm widely respected professionally. Men listen when i talk in meetings, and it's very easy to sell my ideas to people. My shorter coworkers who are more talented than i am struggle to gain respect.
My ex is 5'2" and i have very strong feelings of cute aggression towards her, and have to consciously remind myself to consider her opinions sometimes. It doesn't help that she acted like a child a lot during our relationship ๐
Honestly from my observation at work I think it's more the fact that shorter guys are more insecure or intimidated by taller guys and have less confidence, which affects how they present themselves.
