Hello, and welcome. I am new to the group, too. If nothing else, it's the one place where we can talk openly and share our frustrations and grief with the only people who really understand the challenge and the constant emotional pain of not being tall enough. I't a decade older than you, and only 5'4", so I can relate to exactly how you feel. Being around tall men, even if they don't intend to be intimidating, is still uncomfortable and intimidating for guys our size. I face it every day. And yes, I often feel bummed for a long time after an encounter like that one. It's absolutely true that the bully is insecure and gets his jollies out of picking on guys like us. Realizing that doesn't make it easier for us-- we still have to bear the pain, suffer the indignation, wipe ourselves off, and go forward.

That's where this group comes in-- we can at least empathize with some other guy who has to endure this sort of thing. I am tired of trying to explain the problem to my wife (who cares but can't figure it out and is tired of hearing it), my friends (who are all normal size and clueless), or anyone else, really. Unless you are a short guy stuck for life in a world in which tall men have the obvious physical advantage, you don't get it.

Let's support each other.

Welcome to the forum GymShorts. What made you pick that particular name?

I hate the US's tall culture. Everywhere on TV you see TALL.

Tall models, tall athletes, tall everybody.

People see all this nonsense and think absurd things like "6'0 is short"

Average height is much better than tall.

Short guys have some advantages over tall guys such as a longer life expectancy.

It's deeply ingrained in Anglo culture.

I don't disagree with what you're saying here but....

I am short and when I was in my early 20s, broke. I had no problem attracting women and getting laid, but I had (and still have) a nice body and was always complimented on my attractive face.
