Re: No one gives a FUCK about your problems Thread Starter

Which is why this place is so essential. No one cares about the problems of short men, so we have to build each other up and use this community as a resource. Tell anyone you know about this site and spread the word and keep this place going. Wish all of you a Happy New Year.

Re: It was not your lack of nutrition which made you short Thread Starter

I often hear tall people suggest that short people would've grown taller if they had better nutrition. If your grew up in the West and were not starving or suffering from severe malnutrition as a child, then you are the height you are supposed to be and are at the mercy of your genetics.

My brother was a horrible eater, very picky and went sometimes a day or two here and there without eating. He ate constant junk when he did. He is 6'3. Me? I ate well throughout my younger years and am this height.

Re: Why are so many people in denial about heightism?

First welcome to the forum. Second, from visiting other forums whenever heightism is brought up, it's typically 5'8-5'11 guys complaining which makes it seem more whiny than actually real. Third, since it's mostly men complaining, it's framed largely as a men's issue and you know how society feels about men's issues.

Re: As a shorter man myself, I love this site. Thread Starter

There are other communities for short men on the web. A lot of them focus on things counterproductive to our progress as men like "growing taller", whining or are trolled relentlessly by people who want laughs or to boost their own egos (i.e. r/short on reddit).

Here though, things are really different. It's like we're all honest about society's view of us and work hard to become the best we can be in all other areas of our lives, while condemning height bigotry. It's a nice mix.
