Hi guys:

Just to let you know 5'7" here, 140lbs 

Shortest in the family.   Dad is 6'8", Mom is 5'10", Sister 6'3"

Hard being this small in such a tall family

Welcome to the forum. How old are you and what was it like growing up as a short man in a tall family?

Welcome. I hope you gain insight and support from all that we talk about.  Just curious-- do people in your family make a big deal about the height differential in your presence?  Are you often stuck in uncomfortable situations of having to stand around and talk to people, being eye-level with their chests?  From my perspective at 5'4", 5'7" seems like the low end of normal.  I have to interact with other men occasionally in a variety of settings (work, public, professional associations, church, etc.) that are 6'6" and it is painful for me, at best.  I avoid having to stand next to them and talk to them often-- but it depends on their temperament.  I have a co-worker that admires me and respects me a great deal - he and I are good friends. We NEVER ever bring up the height issue, nor do any of our coworkers and students (at a college).  He's 6'6" and built like a linebacker.  He and I love doing word play, and we share common beliefs, interests, etc.  I have no problem being around him.  But, I know someone else who feels compelled to bring up the height issue and rub it in my face.  I avoid him like the plague.  What is your experience?

I am ok with family and friends.   Never get negative feeling with them.    Most of the time it is with total strangers.   I even have one friend who is 5' tall, he and I are close and he gets a lot of remarks.   I just wish people would see us as who we are.   Women sometimes can be cruel.

dad and brother are both 6 feet, in addition they always used to make fun of me growing up for my lack of height, and I see them still making fun of a short guy to this day like watching the Astros game I see them calling Jose Altuve a "shrimp" and a "Pipsqueak" things they basically used to say to me when I was younger

That one part where she said she was just there to practice lol.

So even after women decided to leave, the women left STILL wanted to engage in humiliating men.

No wonder most dudes pass on these things.
