Being short is fine. Combining that with hair loss is a killer
As far as I know, going back as far as my great-grandfathers on either side, no one is bald. Being a 5'6 man for me is easy. While I have visited many boards where shorter guys discuss their grievances, I may have been fortunate in that I am above average looking, have always been athletic and am talented musically. When you add hairloss to the mix however, it opens up a whole other world of unease. I have always been confident, but having two struggles, the second (in my case hair loss) amplifies the first tenfold. I wouldn't call it an insecurity, rather reality. Anyone else here losing their hair? Assuming most of the people on this board are short, so how are you dealing with both minuses?

Short woman concerned about her sons being short
Completely self-aware, but will be crushed if her sons end up being short and find out about how their own mother viewed men like them during her own time. |

You didn't eat or sleep enough when you were younger
Anyone ever tell you this? I went to Junior High and High school with guys who ate nothing but Doritos and drank soda. Some were my best of friends and their parents hardly cooked. I on the other hand ate lots of meats and leafy vegetables, never drank or did any drugs as a kid and only grew to a paltry 5'5". Go figure. |

Anyone feel cheated by genetics?
Are you the shortest in your family or significantly shorter than your father? If so, do you look around at your family and wonder why you are so much shorter than the rest of them? |

23andMe DNA test to figure out why shortness is prevalent in my DNA?
23andMe is a mail-in DNA test. You basically can swab your cheek and send it in for reporting. I already know my immediate background, but am wondering if some unknown connection can explain why shortness runs in my family. I am content with being short, but am just curious to know if certain populations running thick in my DNA can explain it better. Any of you ever do a DNA test and what are your backgrounds? |

Which country have you felt tallest in and what was it like?
I just came back from a trip to Colombia and never felt closer to average height. Just about every man I came across in Bogota and Baranquilla weren't that much taller than me. Mind you, Bogota is the capital, a major city. Last year I was in Germany and it was obviously the complete opposite. Which countries or cities have you been to where you felt the tallest or shortest? |

Average Height In China By Region (2018)
As expected, taller people are in the cities, but their average height isn't "catching up" to people with Northern European ancestry. |

Don't believe the hype, men in Hong Kong are not that tall
There is this idea that the men in Hong Kong are much taller than the men in mainland China (particularly those born before 1990) and are on par with men in the West. I just came back from visiting Hong Kong for business and the men on average seem 2-3" shorter than men in the U.S. Certain things are even designed for the smaller people here. For example, handlebars on Busses and Subways hang much lower. I recommend a visit for the culture and British connection! |

Do women's attitudes change if they have a short son?
Would their heightism persist? What would they tell their son if they end up being small? |

It was not your lack of nutrition which made you short
I often hear tall people suggest that short people would've grown taller if they had better nutrition. If your grew up in the West and were not starving or suffering from severe malnutrition as a child, then you are the height you are supposed to be and are at the mercy of your genetics. My brother was a horrible eater, very picky and went sometimes a day or two here and there without eating. He ate constant junk when he did. He is 6'3. Me? I ate well throughout my younger years and am this height.

What is considered short in your country?
I notice on a lot of other sites, you have 5'9 guys crying about "how short they are". Like seriously? Then I hear that in the Netherlands, the average height is 6'1. What is "short" in your country? In the U.S., I'd like to think it's under 5'9. |

Is evolution making people taller... or shorter?
I found a Scientific American article that describes while some data have shown an increase in height over a period of time, it does not seem like a lasting trend, and the reasons are not due to evolutionary pressure favoring taller men. In fact, sometimes shorter heights are favored by evolution.
