Does your mother treat you worse than your taller siblings?

My mother would occasionally throw in shots to express her disappointment with how tall I did not become, but I also noticed that she would coddle more even though I am older. She would give my brothers tougher chores and listens to them for advice on how to accomplish certain tasks where she would be more hesitant and "mother like" when it came to me doing stuff (i.e. "be careful, "do it this way", etc).

Men Lying about their height

Do you lie about your height? Have you heard other guys lie about their height?


Once, a guy about 6'2" said to me "I'm 6 foot 4. You can't be 6 feet because I'm 6'4".

Another guy working in a store, who was wearing thick boots, said "I'm 6'1". I walked by him and he was a least 2 inches shorter than me. He was probably 5'9.5"-5'10".

What were the worst experiences you've had due to your height?

Just curious. Which events in your life stand out the most?

Why is leg lengthening looked down on or plastic surgery in general?

I don't get why plastic surgery is acceptable for women and not for men. I know maybe 5 women who have had plastic surgery in the last two months or so. One had a tummy tuck. Another one had a nose job. Another woman at 5' tall went from a C bra to an EE. Another had her but lifted.

These women talk about it so openly and congratulate each other on it. If I bring up a man getting his tummy tucked, hair restoration or leg lengthening, they say things like "eww" and "that's so creepy". There's also the "be yourself".

How can you say "be yourself" when you dye your gray hairs and get all of these surgeries? Why is this unacceptable for men. The woman friend of mine who had a boob job says she loves the attention she gets from men but did it for herself. Wouldn't leg lengthening do the same for us men?

Tall Culture

I hate the US's tall culture. Everywhere on TV you see TALL.

Tall models, tall athletes, tall everybody.

People see all this nonsense and think absurd things like "6'0 is short"

Average height is much better than tall.

Short guys have some advantages over tall guys such as a longer life expectancy.

"Poor Me"

I think it is pathetic when I see men having pity parties or crying online. They try to make a point and just don't make any sense. Part of the reason shorter men have it harder with women is because CONFIDENCE TURNS WOMEN ON! Why do you think women stay in bad relationships with cocky jerks? They are confident! There is no science to this people. Short or not, you need to man up, accept your flaws, and take a long damn look in the mirror. Looks don't get and keep women, confidence does.

Flirt worthy

I feel like I am stuck in this rut where women will find I am worthy of being flirted with but when it comes to dating or going on a date, I always get short down. This one woman was making sexual puns with me, telling me things she would like me to do to her then when I asked for her number, she suddenly had no working phone because she was "in between places". The kicker is, I saw her playing with her phone prior to approaching her. What gives? Am I getting mercy flirts or something!?

The BS of it all

Why are we underpaid? Why are we considered "okay" at best in the dating world? Why must both me and women make jokes about us? Why is it hard for us to find clothing that fits?

WHY!? All because we are short. It is something we have no control over.

Stats say shorter men...

-More eager to please, harder workers, more trust worthy, more likely to be faithful in a relationship, have more street smarts, pay attention to the people around them, are more open minded...

So wtf ladies!? Because we are short none of this matters?

WHY!?

Why do some men who are shorter feel the need to work out all the time? My boyfriend has always been into fitness but he suddenly has become so wrapped up in his fitness and building muscle that we hardly see each other because he would rather be at the gym! When I brought it up he got pissed and said something about me being too out of shape. So because I was hurt I said "You only do this to yourself because you feel you need more muscle to compensate for your height!". After the word height left my lips and I knew it was not going to end well. We got into a huge fight. He left and here I am venting. He basically said I was right in so many words. Why do shorter men do this to themselves? If you enjoy it, go for it but don't use it as a crutch. Specially when you ALREADY have a woman who loves you for you.

My bf troubles

I am not sure if this one will go over well but I needed to vent...

So as I have said on here before, my boyfriend is short, like me. He has self esteem issues and struggles to cope with his height even though he has me, his family, and his amazing friends who support him in all he does. We went to the mall yesterday and this guy approached me. He had to be around 6 ft tall. He was asking for help with a gift for his sister. My bf was across the store when he noticed this happening. He walked over and said hi to the guy, he said hi back and told him he was asking for help from me for a gift for his sister. Blah blah conversation ends and my bf suddenly isn't feeling good so we buy our things and leave the mall. On the ride home he didn't look at me and barely talked. Soon as we got home, I asked him the dreaded "whats wrong?" question and he flipped out on me over the tall guy in the mall. Saying things like I would rather date a taller man, the way i was smiling at him, i thought he was attractive, ect ect. Is this a trust issue or a height issue?? I hate when he gets like this. I was so pissed at him for assuming this crap last night that I left. I texted him when I woke up (we live in different spaces but sleep over each other's places) and he hasnt answered me yet.

height vs. color

If a woman rejects a guy for being black because she didn't want her kids to face racism it would cause outrage. It's interesting how a woman can reject a guy for being short and be labeled as 'understandable' while the rejecting for the former would be headlining newspapers out of dismay.

My younger brother's new girlfriend...

So my younger brother, who is 19, started dated a girl who is 17. I got to meet her the other day and she asked if I was HIS younger brother because I am "still" short. Looking at my height, I am not super short or anything. She thought I was 14!!! He is about 6'2. My brother's reply was a laugh. I was so pissed off by it.

This bimbo...

I work with this woman named Sue. She is 24, very attractive, nice body, beautiful hair, the whole ten yards. She is about 5'6 and is the tallest woman there. As you can see, we are the same height. When she first started working here she was engaged to some 6'4 giant of a man who was in the D leagues for the NBA. The split up when he had to get moved to another team. 

Long story short, I asked her out on a date a few months after they split and she said she wasn't ready. A week later, she had a boyfriend again. A few months after, she was engaged again. And just 3 months ago they split up. For the heck of it, I asked her out again last week. Again, she said she wasn't ready. This was last tuesday. Now it is Monday and she has a boyfriend again. WTH is up with this bimbo? You ever known someone to be in and out of relationships so dang fast?

WHY!?

I was shopping and ran into my ex girlfriend. I was happy to see her honestly. We were talking things over and she is doing good. Then out of no where, her "boyfriend" walks up and this dude is no joke, like 6'4! He made me feel like a kid! And then she introduced me as an "old friend" not even that she used to date me. WTH! Why would she do that? Was she embarassed?
