Quick thought : The last post from r/short witht he guy showing pictures of him and his "girlfriend" ... or how to perpetuate myths with exceptions while still proving our point
I didn't include the post in here cause I don't want an uproar but you can easily look it up.
Basically the guy is handicapped and is showing pictures with his girlfriend alongside the usual coping bullshit of "yeah, just do some shit in your life bro".
But, he is still proving our point :
-First, his "girlfriend" ... well she's not anymore, she actually left him, he's coping with the usual bullshit but the fact remains that out of all the relationships he had, none lasted ...
-He has a pretty good face card, especially for his age
-He's in his 40s and she was 18 years younger ... so not only would he be called a predator if he wasn't in his state but the dating dynamics are infinitely different for older men
-Coincidently, she stated that she chose him on tinder cause he had photos of him doing various activities depicting a certain lifestyle ... cause yeah, not everyone, especially young dudes, don't have time nor money to go helicopter diving on a regular basis ...
-Related to the above, she saw an older dude with a nice face that has the means to do plenty of activities like that ... so money and means to a certain lifestyle was definitely a factor in the relationship ... especially considering she was in her "experimenting/fun/exciting" years ... while her male counterpart for her age was struggling to start his life and afford basic food
-Finally, and maybe the most controversial point but I'm ready to die on that hill : it is definitely not the same to be short because of a handicapped than being "normal" but short in height ... and he doesn't have dwarfism, he has regular proportions on top half ... that is definitely different in a woman's mind that someone who has dwarfism or that is just short.
