    There’s a quick fix. If a woman starts taking about your height, start taking about her weight.

      That is very far from a fix. Fighting negativity with negativity doesn’t make you the winner here.

      Be secure in who you are. Know your value comes from a world of other factors and height is only one minor aspect of your physical appearance. It is unfortunate that the ignorance of society has consequences for you, but your best revenge is to live well.

        I mean, it can absolutely work as a comeback, but it definitely shouldn’t be a default response.

          Yes, reading the room is still required, and then maybe explaining the comeback afterwards because usually if they’re dumb enough to just blurt out that sort of thing they’ll need it.

      There’s a quick fix. If someone starts talking about your height, walk away.
