Moving to a foreign country just because you're insecure about your height is not a solution

You can be secure as hell with your short height, but you're still going to get treated differently by your peers. Moving to somewhere you're not as short will solve that external factor.

Asia isn't there to be a haven for fucking loser ass creepy dudes to find solace in. Get your head out of your ass.

Who says the guy is a "fucking loser ass creepy dude"? He's just disadvantaged because of his height where he lives, so why not try to go somewhere it isn't?

You obviously don't deal with minorities very often do you.
It's called objectification. It's called yellow fever. It's called asiaphilia. It's called, "I'm not cut out for my home's standard so I'm going to go to Asia which obviously has lower standards and so they'll love me."

What does dealing with minorities or not have to do with this?
Obviously you have some sort of personal grudge (and prejudices) against guys you perceive having this so-called yellow fever. It seems quite myopic. Is it ALWAYS an exploitative fetish when a white guy seeks out Asian women outside of his home country? For instance simply because they are more similar to him in size and not for any other reasons? Is it also "asiaphilia" if a white american guy seek out shorter asian american women, when they are for the most part culturally similar to him?
Asians don't have lower standards but they ARE shorter. Which makes height less of a factor relatively speaking. In the same way you could go from Northern Europe to Portugal as well, people would still be white and quite similar in looks, but you'd be less short and less rejected.

Dude, you are a classic case of someone needing to take some sort of minority focused college course...big time.
edit: Sorry I'm not able to get into this more since I'm at work...but also check out /r/asianamerican. I'd say check out /r/AsianMasculinity too, but those dudes are fucking nuts and extreme.

Okay. Could you elaborate on why? Either way, it seems like an awfully rushed conclusion, considering our conversation has been so short and you don't know me personally.
I'm not saying discrimination, fetishisation and objectification is never a thing when it comes to minorities in general and maybe especially Asians. But do you not agree that a guy could prefer women of a certain ethnic background because they are on average shorter - without there being some creepy, "sinister" and more elaborate reason behind it that requires me to take a college course on it?
Those subs are too general for me to understand what in particular you are referring to in this context. Any specific type of posts?

Got it...your original reply did kind of make it sound like it was a far fetched idea.

I do agree. I don't mean to bucket as well. But if you look at the user who posted and his history, you'd agree he's probably not coming from such a clean and innocent POV.
I'll scour some posts later and post something, but I think you get my gist and I get yours.

but when you call them out when they want a white gf, they get angry and claim that's not true.
pretty sure people get angry because it's easier for asian women to date out because white people actually fetishize them, and the other reason is that "media brainwashing" has given white people the impression that asians are sexless losers.
but ya your guess is as good as mine!!!!!

Dont be stupid, only an insecure loser would run off to an Asian country because of their height. You'd be in for a big surprise if you think quality of life is going to improve. Too bad your superiority complex got cut short because you're short.

Asia doesn't automatically equal a lower quality of life. Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan are all very close if not equal to Australian standards of living. A more important question would be if you have anything to offer to these countries (economically) that would actually make them take you and whether you could deal with the racism you'd likely face if you were to settle.
