I have been looking into this brand lately. A friend gave me some old clothes and quite a few shirts were this brand and they fit amazingly well on me and I am only 5'4. Nothing is super long and it feels well fitted to my size. Check them out guys.

"Help! My child is taller than me"

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/08/help-my-child-is-taller-than-me

 

I am not sure how I feel about this article. It almost makes a joke of heightism.

"Alexis is three inches taller than me so far – she overtook me suddenly last year and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s quite funny at times, trying to be in “serious mum mode” when you’re looking up. Other times, it’s useful. Alexis can open the security lock on the back door and I can’t – but she can also reach the sweetie jar in the kitchen and I can’t, which is not good, is it?”"

Would you date a woman under 4'9?

My friend asked me this question and I said yeah why not if I find her attractive and she is a sweet person. Then he goes, you know 4'9 and under is a midget right? I never heard this. I figured I would ask you fells on here. I see a lot of little women who are beauitful in their own way.

Random thoughts with God and height

So I am not big into the bible or anything but God/Jesus has taught us that we too should look unto someone's heart not their physical appearance when looking at strength and such. I feel like this is one of the best lessons in that book because it shows us that the way we appear on the outside should not matter as much as it does in this world.

How far does heightism go back?

Well I really can't say but I would imagine it has gotten worse then ever over the last 50 or so years. The jokes, the laughs, the sterotyping ect.

How much truth is in this statement?

I am curious on all your thoughts here...

"Fat girls don't like feeling unattractive. Short guys don't like feeling unattractive. No one likes to feel unattractive. But at the end of the day, the majority of guys aren't attracted to fat girls just as much as the majority of girls aren't attracted to short guys. It's not shallow. It's natural. People can't help it."

Do fat women suffer as much as us short men?

I read this story about this woman who is on the larger side dating a man in another country... well just read it for yourself http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/american-beauty-blogger-suffers-internet-2121606

And well, people said mean things about her and to her on her channel because her now husband is skinny while she is not. I feel like this is as comparable to a short man dating a taller woman and being shammed for it. Thoughts?

What about men who get short with age?

I was thinking about this and a lot of men and women get shorter as they age. My grandmother was 4'11 and is now 4'8. My grandfather was 5'10 and when he passed away, he was 5'7. Does height not matter when you are that old? I never once heard of a man being bitter for shrinking under 5'9 if her was 5'10+

Is online dating a good idea?

I am considering it but I hear so many negative things about it online and in real life. Like shorter men and bigger women being shammed and only get people who are below average interested in them. Thoughts?

Who's ready for football season?

I just ordered a new jersey, dug out all my sports crap. I am in the zone! Everyone is getting hyped and I am seeing all the sports heads wearing their gear. I am excited. I love the fall. Black and yellow all around!

Allow me to introduce myself

It is so wonderful that a place like this exists. I found this place by googling "Short Guys". I'm 5'4, 26 and am a Guidance Director for my district. When I was in my late teens, I was in denile about how "important" height was. When I got to college I complete understood what being short men to society. I am successful by anyone's imagination but deal with heightism from time to time.

Anyway, I look forward to chatting with all of you!

Why do short men get told to move to other countries?

I have been told this before, sadly. And it sucks. And it hurts. But you have to figure these are the women most men secretly wish went to another country lol

Eminem is only 5'8?

I just found this out and I am shocked. I thought he was close to 6'. His wife, Kim, is the same height, if not an inch taller. Nuts! I just thought I would share.

Should you lie about your height?

I read that men should lie about their height on dating sites to increase odds because 75% of women are 5'6 or shorter on these sites. They will likely cancel out a lot of possible meeting or matching because most dating sites do 2inches + taller men than the woman. I am not sure about this and I would like to know if anyone else heard this?
