How come height doesn't serve as a basis for identity group formation the way skin color, gender, or even weight do? Why don't shorter-than-average people pursue collective action?

r/tall: 72.5k subscribers: https://www.reddit.com/r/tall/ r/short: 28.7k subscribers: https://www.reddit.com/r/short/ From what I've seen, there is a noticeable strain online of short guys complaining about how it affects dating.

I think a common complaint is something like "Why are women allowed to say in their Tinder profile that they wont date below a certain height, but I can't say I wont date above a certain weight?"

There is also a similar complaint I've heard a lot (my whole family is tall so I get more exposure to this side). Roughly, tall women complaining about tall guys dating short women. Pretty consistent too I think. You'll see that if you browse r/tall

Purely anecdote, but it’s notably harder to date as a tall woman (5’ 9”+) than a short man.

Well at least they know where to go looking: basketball games.

If you browse through r/tall and click on the profiles of people at or above 7 feet, you often do find that they at least played competitive D1 college basketball. Pretty funny stereotype tbh
