Discrimination is a funny thing. We think we've solved it all (or at least seen the light on what's right and wrong) when it comes to race, gender, religion.

Yet prejudices and discriminatory attitudes show up again when dealing with other factors. Today is seems the trend falls upon age and height. The worse is that it tends to manifest at an almost subconscious level.

It's not discrimination, it's a matter of preferences. Hell, if I want to date a girl younger and smaller than me it's my right, isn't it? Plus on these apps/dating websites, you only state preferences. As I said, I would prefer a girl smaller than me, but it doesn't mean I'll not end up with someone taller than me.
