Good comments "littledoc'. I am 5'5" and I know what you are talking about in your post. This article by this woman was honest, but it really shows how much discrimination exists out there. What if her messsage said, "I can't really date Jewish men...I just don't know what it is about them...they tend to be greedy, I think." I also thought that it was interesting that no one replied to your message. The next two replies acted like nothing was even said. Also, saying that the article was "not to be taken seriously" is ridiculous. Of course it is serious, and it wan't meant to be a joke.
For the record, I think everyone is entitled to their preferences. If you don't want to date fat women, christians, jews, short guys, blond girls, black people, etc...it's cool. But I think it becomes a problem when this spills over into things that have nothing to do with relationships. I have to wonder if the author of this piece would hire a short guy to work for her? She clearly believes that short guys are inferior, so I wonder if that is extended to all aspects of life, in her mind?
