Re: What is your ideal height?

I am in my late fifties now-- too late to have the life I wanted as a normal size man. I would have loved to be anywhere in the oblivious zone - about 5'10" or so. That would have allowed me to live an entire adult lifetime not being the shortest guy (5'4") in almost every social situation since age 15, along with all the grief that has accompanied it.

Yes, but you've lived a unique life with a different perspective on things. Do you have any kids? It's interesting that you're bothered by your height. A lot of people I know in their 50s, "grew into" being comfortable with it but I understand. When you're short you learn how to see the superficiality in how people interact with one another when it comes to appearance.

I felt like crap of course. Not because I'm upset that I'm short or anything, but because people think it's completely acceptable to mock someone for their height.

I told them that it's douche-like to make fun of me or point out something about me that I had no control over and can't change. They cringed and one apologized. Another one laughed at said it was "my problem".

What would you have done?

Re: Why are Latina women not as heightist as white and black women?

When I was in High School, it was always the black women who would remind me everyday I was short and worthless because of it. Spanish women didn't seem to care that I was short.
