Will heightism ever go away?

Life is really rough for a very short male. When I say short, I don't mean 5'6 short, but 5'0 short. I rarely get respect, haven't had a girlfriend and am regularly disrepected. I notice a lot of people talking about heightism but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Why is that?

Why working out is important especially if you're short

I'm older than most of you on this board, and I can tell you that the first thing a woman usually does to complement me is on my physique. Even if she is not interested in me because of the stigma that follows tall girl short guy couples, I know she is at least checking me out. The women who won't entertain seeing me with them will complement me because they do find me masculine and attractive. They just do not want to bare that cross.

 

The women who are attracted to me were really attracted to me. Women I knew before when I was skinny took a different approach to me when I put on the mass. I'm not saying that working out will make you suddenly as attractive as a guy who is 6 ft plus if that is what the women you come across are attracted to, but it will show that you care about your temple and that is attractive to many.

 

Have any of you noticed any change in how women react to you once you put on muscle?

is it easier being Short and Hispanic or Asian?

I find that people are okay with me being short because I am Puerto Rican. I notice that people are okay with Asians being short also. At my job, there are two short black guys and one short white guy who are always being harrassed because of their height (they are about my height).

 

They leave me and these two Asian guys who are my height give or take a few alone. Has anyone else noticed this?

Women who talk trash about short guys

Yesterday I was sitting in the lunch quarters at work when this co worker of mine ranted for 15 min about how upset she was for going on a date with a guy who turned out to be two inches shorter than he said he was. Another female co worker jumped in a said how short guys were so horrible and suffered from short man syndrome. After that she looked at me and said "no offense".

 

Why is it acceptable to bad mouth short guys? (and in front of them at that). I've seen the same woman tell on one of my male co workers for making fat jokes (he was written up)

Why haven't doctors invented anything to make us taller?

Women have boob jobs, tummy tucks, plastic surgery and butt implants. Height is one of the most important attributes a man can have. Aside from Leg Lengthening which only makes our legs longer, why haven't there been any advancements in medicine to make us taller after puberty?

 

I don't think I'm going to grow anymore and I see all of the girls in my school only going for tall guys. I read articles on how taller men get paid more and married earlier. With all of the money they put into finding cures, why is there no cure for being short and a boy?

Hola!

I found this place after googling "short guys". I look forward to chatting and learning a thing or two while here. It's nice to see a community of people who celebrate being short and can encourage others to get over some of life's difficult challenges.

The Modest Man!

Guys, you need to check out this blog. They give really good fashion advice for short guys. I recently checked it out and my favorite post was about body fitting clothing. I always talk about that here.

 

I hate seeing other short guys who wear baggy clothes. a) it's so 90s and b) if you're ripped, it doesn't show your body off. c) it makes you look tinier, especially if your clothes aren't altered.

Will I grow? 17M

Hi. I am about to start my Senior year in High School and have not grown since I was 14. My parents are 5'5 (dad) and 5'2 (mom). I know they are short but I have so many friends who are taller than both of their short parents. Do I have any hope? I really do not want to be short as an adult.

Do you get to date a lot of hot women? 8/10+?

Since a lot of women find short guys unattractive, the perception is that we have to lower our standards to attract more women. Any of you frequently date attractive women 8/10+ or only date women that would be considered "out of your league"?

How to make tall girls feel at ease?

Most of the time it is taller women feeling social anxiety when it comes to dating short guys like us. How do you go about helping them ease that feeling of constantly thinking about what others think of them?

want to become a high school teacher

i am in my fourth year of college in virginia and want to become a school teacher, preferably high school and then maybe move into administration. in my high school, we had a few short teachers and most of them weren't respected except for one of them. the man was in his mid fourties and 5'5 give or take  but his presence was huge. does anyone in education have any advice? what should i look for and how should i approach students. i start my externship in september and don't want to ask this kind of question because I don't want to come off as insecure and unready.

Tricks used to make actors taller?

I would like to know how they make actors look taller in the movies. In Collateral with Tom Cruise, him and Jamie Foxx look about the same height. There is no way they shot ever scene with lifts or with low camera angles since Foxx has 5 inches on Cruise. So how do they make this work?

 

I knowthey use

 

∙ Lifts

∙ Low camera angles

∙ Digging ditches

 

What are some of the other tricks they use?

How do you deal with guys hitting on your taller dates?

Last weekend I went to a nightclub with this girl I am seeing. She is 5'8 and had on heels. We entered the club together and men all over the club would flirt with her openly with me in sight? How do you handle this sort of thing and have you ever experienced it?

Okay i want to say something

i found this site through reddit and it seems like there is a bunch of men on here who think their height is holding them back. i usually date tall men but i have a guy that i work with who is around 5'3 and he gets a lot of dates and people respect him at work. you want to know why? its because he has a lot of confidence. women and people all over love confidence. instead of complaining about how short you are you should dig deep within and work on things you can change. confidence is everything.
