Maybe Feminist Thought Could Aid Us.
Please note: I am actually not a male-feminist. I am just an observer. I try to be unbiased as possible. I found this video interesting. Let me know what you think about it along with feminist thought. |

I found this interesting...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiHFfkN6fE4 This video explains some reason why taller men make fun of shorter men. It can be insecurity or possibly envy. That is what the video addresses. NOTE: This does not mean ALL taller men do this. In fact, it can happen both ways because shorter men can do this as well. Let me know what you think. |

Hi. Forum just got better.
Shorter than average guy here (for my ethnic background). Don't like to say short. Coming up on the big 4 0 pretty quick. 5'7.5 tall. 175 lbs. lean muscle. People guess 185-190 though. Happy to still have good hair. lol Former highrise construction worker in Chicago, Ex-Army Sergeant, highly decorated multiple tour Iraq Campaign veteran, and in general bad Mutha... I see big guys at the gym who can't bench their own bodyweight and I'm thinking, I weigh 80 lbs less than you and I can bench YOUR bodyweight. I can walk into a room filled with people and know that very few if any men there have done the kinds of stereotypically "manly" things I've done. Yet, I still have these nagging insecurities about my height. I suppose forums like this can be good or bad, depending on what you make of them. Mostly just gonna put my 2 cents in. |

Is heightism worse than racism when it comes to dating?
White men tend to have it the easiest in the dating world when it comes to dating for various reasons. If you take the average Asian male, however, they tend to be below 5'7. Do women swear off Asian men all together because of this? I know some white, black, ect men in America who only date Asian women but I never heard of the same deal the other way around. |

Why Daniel Radcliffe should be the next Wolverine!
Let's face it. The real comic book Wolverine is 5'3, not 6' like Hugh Jackman. This is not to say the Jackman didn't play a great wolverine, but Daniel would fit the part better. He (now) has the body for it and even the looks! This could be another breakout role which could keep him relevant and a heartthrob for years to come. It would also be a "short guy victory" putting him in a more masuline role than the dorky romantic comedies he's been in since Harry Potter. Here is a pic of him now: Before you guys mock him, take a look at Hugh Jackman before he became Wolverine Here is Wolverine from his comic books. Notice how he is shorter than the woman in this pic Came across this idea by browsing r/short and it's pretty accurate. What do you say? Never mind that I'm the real Wolverine's height in real life |

I got asked about my age?
I am not sure if this has ever happened to you. I am not young, but I guess I can pass for being around 22. I was in a store picking up some beers and the woman, who I am guessing was around my age, kept insisting I wasn't the legal age and I couldn't be older than her. I gave her my ID and she still didn't believe it. She just kept being all giggly. I felt embarrassed because there were people in line behind me. What the heck was she doing? |

Does it hurt more to be just below the norm, or way below it?
I was reading something and found it interesting. It said that a man who is 5'4 is more likely to accept his height than a man who is 5'8 because the shorter man is further away from the most acceptable height. So in other words, a man who is close to being a desired height of 6', just being short of it, is harder to take then being far away from it. Thoughts? |

No to kids because of height?
My boyfriend and I have been talking on deeper levels lately and he basically flat-lined me with this one.... He said he does not want to have kids because he does not want to risk having a son who will grow up short and struggle with the same issues he has. I didn't even know what to say. I went into the other room and cried because I want kids. Has anyone ever said they didn't want to have kids do to height? I am curious here.

Grew an Inch, will i grow more? & socliosis
Yes it would mean a lot but the biggest issue is that unbalanced weight distribution affects how i feel after some physical activities. My fam doc has told me a couple years back that surgery isnt practical for my slight curvature. She also said it wouldnt get worse because i'm not going to grow. (she said that when i was still 5'5 or 165cm. Now im 168). I'm just hoping i grow to 5'7

Winning.
This post may be viewed by those who with certain beliefs and will be considered the views of "Napoleon Complex". Nonetheless, I will continue to express my thoughts: that as a man, you are to use your small-statured characteristic for your advantage. I'm pretty sure that some of you already know that. However, let me elaborate. I say, use your height as a way to progress to earn your dream. Whether it would be education, careers, sports etc., use your height to invest towards your dreams. One thing what this gene has taught me to do was to develop a thick skin and persevere. It has taught me to aim BIG. Think of 'adversity' as a win win. With that being said, if girl were to reject you for being small-statured, then you dodged a bullet. Clearly, she is shallow and inane. Hence, instead of giving time to these girls, give time to your studies/preparation for your dream. A dream that will grant you earned reverence. |

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Was Yesterday...
I seen an article was done on the site but I would like to remind others of his 5'7 height. He never let it get in the way of his calling so don't let it for you. |
