Recently I was on top of the world as I met a girl at the school I work at as a principals assistant. She works in the cafeteria and is a little person. After flirting for a few weeks I asked her out. She was hesitant at first but said ok. When I went to pick her up I found that she still lived at home with her parents and brother. Her parents were not nice to me, and her brother told me they didn't approve of her dating a "normal sized faggot" which I thought was really rude. Especially considering although she and her parents are all little people her brother is of normal height and only like 2 inches shorter then me. I'm 6'1. I could hear her mother and her arguing in the kitchen and then she came out and said she couldn't go out with me. I was really upset and still am. Is it normal for little people to behave like this?

    I'm probably going against the majority... but no, it is not normal for her brother to be hateful or spiteful toward you because of your size. People come in all different sizes, shapes, etc. It's no different than being sexist, or racist.

    He sounds like he has issues. As do the other members of that family. They will be hard-pressed to find a boyfriend for their daughter that matches up to their unrealistic expectations.

    I am a girl and I am 4'11". I've never in my life had a problem with people taller than me. And most are, lol. I've never disrespected anyone based on their height (or weight, or gender, or color). So no... as a short girl answering this question (so I like to think I have personal experience lol), no it is not normal.

    It is also not fair for her mother to shun you based solely on your height (as sounds like it was the case). What is wrong with these "little people?" Sounds like one messed-up family! So sorry you are going through this. Best wishes (from a little person)!

    There's discrimination everywhere. Can people stop hating each other for superficial reasons please?

    Thanks for the nice words. It was really upsetting. I've seen her at work a few times since and just try to avoid her. Ill try talking to her to see how she feels about what happened.

    I have heard that midgets can be very racist, so it isn't surprising. The midget parents are probably just being protective because they assume that you are some type of weirdo who views their daughter as a fetish or think that you just want to date her as a joke to make fun of her.

    I personally think that midgets are funny-looking with their weird big heads, but to each his own. Maybe just be a good friend to her and if her family sees that you have good intentions, they'll come around?
