WTF is wrong with short men and unattractive women, are they not humans with emotions who can make friends? In my experience these regular folks are the ones with whom you can have strong friendships that are not just skin deep.

Maybe your attitude of treating unattractive people as beneath you needs to be fixed before you can find meaningful relationships.

Imagine if I said I went to some event but unfortunately there were only x person of ethnicity. Yuck!

If the OP only wants to be friends with attractive women and tall guys, more power to him but he won't get much sympathy for me for that comment. Opportunities in life comes in many shapes and forms. That short guy or unattractive woman who they could've made friends with could've also opened up more social opportunities.

Maybe not on HN comments but IRL I've seen people already do that all the time. Women especially really seem to take race/ethnicity into consideration.

I think a lot of the time people say things but don't actually really stick by what they're saying. Especially with women. They'll say really stupid things like that and a few days later they'll do something that contradicts that thing entirely
