NaturalHeightGrowth is such a scam I swear
I used to visit that site at least four times a week. The owner of that site, there might be two of them "research" ways on how to get taller. They go around and regurgitate all of this garbage about all of these "scientists" who are studying "growth plate regeneration" and all of these supposed "breakthroughs" on chemicals and procedures coming out to make people taller. NEWSFLASH, it will NEVER HAPPEN. There is no way nor will there every be a way to get taller after you pass puberty and no one cares enough to fund some crapola like that. The site has years worth of articles and not a single one that irrefutably gets people to grow taller. All they have are a bunch of scammy products with amazon links to make the site owners richer while playing on men's insecurities. It's a damn hoax. If you're over 30 then chances are you spent your 20s researching that "one thing that nobody knows about" or that "secret method that some rogue doctor has" to help you get that growth spurt you never got. Well, that's how they make money, but playing on those people. TL:DR the only way to get taller is elevator shoes or some risky $100,000 that will break your legs and render you never to play sports again. Natural height growth is nothing but trash. |

When did your height first bother you?
I was thinking about it and I think mine started bugging me in 5th grade when I noticed girls who were taller than me and still considered "short". I basically peeked in 7th grade and never got any taller. |

Kevin Hart on "height"
"I don't believe in doing things to manufacture my body to appeal to what I think people might like," Hart says in the above video. "This is it. This is what I was given. This is my playing cards. If we were playing poker, I've got to make this hand work. This is it for me. And this is what I'm going to ride out. So how do you not embrace it? You get one life. One. You get one life. I'm going to embrace mine." http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2014/03/27/kevin-hart-short-oprah_n_5037845.html?ir=Australia It is a bit old but I love how he is just true to himself. |

Petition to take down DirecTV's body shaming commercial
You all read my thread on the DirecTV petite randy moss and thankfully sgc did an article on it. Our fellow short men on r/short created a petition on Change.org and we need you all to sign it! This is a pivotal moment to let advertisers know that height shaming is no different than the fat shaming that they stay away from in advertising in the modern era. We need 100 signatures. At this point, there are only 24. Here is the link: Stop DirecTV's Offensive "Petite Randy Moss" ad. |

A question for the men...
Would you rather have one more inch in height... or one more inch in penis size? Yes this is a weird question but me and my boyfriend began discussing it and he assured me most men, not matter how short, would take in inch down there over over-all height. |

A Designer Launched A Clothing Line Just For Short Guys
"Peter Manning is 5'8'' — only two inches shorter than the average American man. And yet he found it almost impossible to find clothes that fit well without having to pay what he calls a "tailor tax" — the hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars short men spend having their clothing remade to flatter their bodies. "I happened to run into a few major retailers at a party years back," the Tony Award-winning producer-turned-designer told Business Insider. "And I told them, 'I go into your stores and I can't really buy anything, what do you suggest I do?' And they both told me to get my clothes tailored, and I was like, 'That's not a good enough answer for 25% of American men!'"" This is from late 2013. I had no idea!! Here is his shop : http://www.petermanningnyc.com/ |

"Short? You Just Might Live Longer"
"Get ready to finally embrace your short stature, Skee-Lo! We've long known that short people live longer than the taller among us. Past studies have examined the relationship between height and lifespan of populations around the world, suggesting that shorter people generally live longer lives, while taller people are more likely to have certain illnesses and develop various types of cancer. Now, thanks to new research published in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers have finally discovered the secret behind shorter people's longevity: It's in their genes."

Who is the sexiest short woman alive?
I'll let you guys make the choice in this poll. When we say short, we mean really short for a woman, not 5'3 which is average, but 5'2 and shorter. |

Being a short guy on Tinder
So as a not so tall guy and hearing not so great things about how short guys are seen by women on Tinder I decided to get my feet wet and give it the old college try anyway. In less than a week I had 24 matches. 6 of them stopped talking to me when I told them my height (they asked). 10 of them didn't ask and wanted to go on a date. Out of curiosity (and not to waste my time), I bought my height up several times and none of them cared (with the exception of two who sucked their teeth and made comments about not being able to wear heels). The other 8 did not bother to respond to any messages (probably validation "I feel so good about guys trying to hit me up on Tinder, let me get their hopes up by swiping right!). I have 2 dates this week, so not too shabby! I'd imagine though that if I were 6'+ I'd have way more dates. I'd say even if you are short, give it a shot and don't let the non-repliers get to you. |

Insulted
Hi guys,
This happened to me awhile ago but I feel I need to get it off my chest. After the great responses I got about the former cop who refused to meet me after she found out right before we met that I was shorter/smaller than her, I feel that you guys can relate to this experience. I was taking this technical course in university and there was this middle aged woman in it. She said she had a boyfriend so I knew she was off limits--she was even living with him. There was this huge guy in my class, 6'2 caribbean guy who dated professional models. I saw her flirting with him a few times. After a few months the course was over and we all met in a bar. Someone in the bar mentioned that he had the woman's number in his phone--he had it so he could organize the get together. I asked her if I could have her phone number. She asked me why. I said so we could get together. Bad move. I think she thought I meant that she and I could hook up. Later on in the evening she told me I was too short and far for her and I still rented and did not own my own property. I was shocked. I tried telling her nicely that it was a misunderstanding and that I was not interested in her. She expressed interest in having sex with the caribbean guy--he did not arrive yet. I felt this was an odd thing to say out loud to a group of people. Later on when we went to a club, the caribbean guy asked the woman why was height so important to women. She then grabbed me and said she felt like a mother holding a small guy. I was embarrassed. I wish I had told her to screw off. |

My friend lied about her boyfriend's height
So this is something I want to vent about. My friend, who is all about being true, and sticking to her core lied. Her boyfriend is 5'6 maybe 5'7. Real sweet guy and gives her the world. Her parents live out of state and brought up meeting him. They have been seeing each other for like 3 months, so it isn't serious yet. Well she had them on speaker phone and was giggling away while her mom asked her questions. She asked the height question and she said idk like dad's height... Which he is easily 6ft. I met him! Why would she lie? I don't get it. |
