My mother's reaction to my final height
I had to be about 16 or so. My mother took me to my pediatrician and while there we were reviewing X-rays. The doctor told my mom that after looking at my growth plates, I would grow to end up anywhere from 5'4 to 5'6. She was bang on correct. At this time, my mother's reaction didn't phase me as I was just happy to get to be at least 5'6 considering how tall I was at the time, but looking back, I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother said, "That's it? Not even 5'8? His father is 6' and his uncles are all are taller than that!". I can't remember the conversation following that, but I didn't care. My grades were on point, I was on the baseball team, was one of the best saxophone players in my school and even had a high school sweetheart (we were together for a year at that point). What did my height matter? Her entire family is short. My aunts, uncles, grandfather; everyone on her side of the family is in the 5'-5'6 range. Her dad, my grandfather is the "tallest" at 5'7. Looking back at her reaction, it gets me a bit infuriated. Did she not think that I could inherit her genes? Also, it makes me think, would she have considered my father if he were my height? At this age, while I do okay in dating, I will not say that I don't get annoyed when women who are much shorter only leave themselves open for much taller men, not because of the preference, but because they gallivant around as if them having a short son despite how tall their partner is cannot happen. I'm literally proof that it can and does happen, and not rarely either.

New here.
I saw this site talked about on reddit and decided to join. I date shorter guys, but they have to be taller than me by at least two inches. Most of the guys I date are in the 5'4-5'8 range. |

Smaller ties.
I made another post about finding smaller socks, but am now also wondering if there is a company out there that specializes in smaller ties like the ones you would find at Express. Any suggestions? |

5'4 Asian Girl, 6'5 White Guy. Are Short Asian Men Done?
You have to see the comments. All of these women saying, "that's the height difference I deserve". What happened to being upset over being "fetishized"? The TikTok video can be found here. |

6'8 guy does a video "10 Things I Hate About Being Tall"
I'm cool with most points like about neck pain, but you already know that most of this video is humble bragging. "People always think I'm a basketball player". Yeah, okay buddy, such a horrible thing. |

She could've just said "No", but decided to go nuclear.
This guy held amazing frame after she hurled insult after insult. Everyone knows how the internet would react if these insults went in the other direction. The Instagram video can be found here. |

Dating coach says you should "cheat" to get more dates.
Pretty interesting take. I can't get mad at this guy for suggesting that people do what they can to get themselves ahead. It's sure to make people upset though. The YouTube video can be found here. |
