What YOU can do about Heightism

BATTLING HEIGHTISM BY SUPPORTING SHORTER PEOPLE

- Involve them in social activities and in conversations; ask their opinion and consult them on areas where they have knowledge. Shorter guys are seen to be more socially backward, so break the silence and do not just ignore them - defy your subconscious tendencies and test just how accepting and loving you are of others.





- When you see hate messages or tweets which are discriminating on shorter guys for no good reason, then battle it! Probe and see where the person has got that opinion from, and how their dislike related to height specifically


- Tell short-statured people, males especially, about support websites and groups available on the Web.

If the person consulting you is a girl, tell assure her of the fact that taller than average people have problems getting dates as men may feel 'intimated' approaching them; they may also feel 'unmasculine'. 

Assure them that they are still dateable and give honest remarks on things you like about them -- I am suggesting you make this a general habit with everybody for a Pleasing Personality.
 You may then, subtly and gradually, suggest that they go and ask out a taller person that they want a date with!



Ultimately the best method to heal this once and for all, to clear the 'I could have been taller' remorse, is to help them reach their maximum potential which the following email course
