What point did you accept yourself?
post #1

My boyfriend still struggles with his height issues. It used to bother me as well but being a short female isn't considered bad among large numbers of men. I was fine with it when I was 16 or so and knew I wasn't going to grow anymore.

I am still accepting. For some it is a process and others, it just happens. When you have confidence, height isn't much of an issue. I have seen men who were short pull striking women.

I have bad moments but I honestly feel like I accepted my height when I had sex for the first time. I know that sounds odd but much of my lack of confidence came from all my taller friends being sexual active before me.

I got over it when I met my now wife. She is nothing like them tall hunters out there. She actually has only dated men under 5'9. Her father was on the short side as well maybe that is why.

I think most men get over it when they meet the right person. I am still looking myself. It is always worse when you still are dating around.

True that. Dating is awful to begin with. Add being short into the mix, it is a nightmare of let downs. I actually met my wife while shopping. We hung out a few times then went on a "date" and have been together since.

I am okay with my height for the most part around friends... even with women.. But not with my family. I am working on it though.

What footwear are you rocking right now?

Let's see your footwear game. 

Full photos not required here, just pics or descriptions of your current shoes, boots, sneakers, sandals, etc

Figured this would be a nice way to get some ideas or a way to put each other on to some footwear we might not be familiar with.

Let's go!

Gee, what do they have that her "husband" doesn't have?

All of this to just say she only dates tall men. She never "stopped" dating short men (or dated them at all).

Why do people refuse to accept the struggles of short men?

I made a post on reddit, in some big sub. I tried to make an honest appeal to the normies there. I talked about the struggles short men face, and I didn't even bring up dating. I linked several statistics and talked about difficulties at the work place, bullying, depression and suicide rates, etc

The post got downvoted and nobody addressed any of the arguments. Some guy in the comments said I wrote it with chat GPT, which is hilarious considering it was very obviously not AI, and half the top posts there are AI. I got one gaslighting comment talking about how short guys live longer or something

Reddit is generally left wing. Aren't they supposed to care about oppression?

At least the right is honest.

Short Accountant Mocked For His Height In New York Post Comments

Are any of you surprised by the comments? 

We had a whole 6ft3 guy recently threaten an airport with firearms and no one accused him of having a "syndrome"

I don't condone what the short guy did here, but you knew they were going to come after his height.
