He, by far, it my favorite dunker under 5'9. It is amazing what he does and he is only 5'8! He is billed at 5'9 but my 5'9 friend met him and he was shorter. Cool dude too. 

When we first started dating 4 years ago, he was just over 5'6. About a year ago, he started practicing proper posture for his herniated disk in his back. He got it from a car accident. Anyways, I noticed a few months ago that he appeared taller. Sure enough! He was a whole inch taller! I asked his doctor if this could happen and he said when proper posture is practiced, it lengthens the spine. So that is something you guys can try if you want. He said in most cases it is only a .25" difference but some have gained over an inch. 

Working at making posts here on ShortGuyCentral positive, tell us something someone did today that made you smile.

I joined here to basically ask a question but hope you guys don't mind me sticking around! I know this is for short guys but, ya know... lol

Anyways, I have been with my boyfriend for about 7 months now. Out of no where, he changed, he was so confident and cocky and now the smallest thing, even when I joke, it gets to him. He is 5'6 and I am 5'4. I cracked a joke about him wearing my heels to reach the top cabinent when we first startd dating and he actually put some on and we were laughing histarically. Well, i joked about something simular with him a few days ago and he snapped at me. He actually left really mad and didn't talk to me for 2 days. When he finally answered, he pretended nothing happened. 

So my question is, can he have issues with his height that he didn't care about in the begining that he suddely cares about now that we are more serious? 

So my cousin's girlfriend has a friend who has moved back into town and they both thought it would be great if we all go together and a group date and got something to eat, maybe go shoot pool after. I never been on a group date. How will I know if it is going well? lol

I am a married man with a 15 year old son. I turned 37 last week.

I just found out my wife is having an affair with a taller man. The guy is actually her boss. We were driving in her car that night and went to a gas station. She stepped out to pump the gas and a text appeared on her S5. The phone was on vibrate and I peeked over. The text was mushy saying how much he missed her and wanted to spend more time with her. Lately she had been working a lot of overtime.

When I saw trhe text on the screen my heart sank. She came back in the car after close to 5 minutes and I confronted her telling her I saw a text from her boss. She then told me that I am old, short, out of shape, boring, don't satisfy her or make her laugh anymore. I couldn't believe any of the ogwash because she is always begging for sex and I always give it to her when she wants it. 

Now I am here wondering who will get custody if I do decide to get divorced, or if I should fight for the marriage. She sounds like she is set on leaving which is hard for me to swallow.

Sorry if I rambled on here but I don't know what to do next. She never complained about my height before. In fact, when she met, she kept on going how she loved me for who I am. 

My life long friend Dan got married last fall. He got picked on all our lives, and when we hung out at public events for school, we were teased pretty bad. He is 5'3 and I am 5'6. He was one of the shortest guys at the school. There was only one who was short and he had a stunted growth problem. Dan's family is all short. His mom is only 4'9 his father is 5'4, and his sister is 4'11. 

Well, he married a woman who is his height and she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Don't worry, I don't think of her like that! lol But he grew up being told he would marry a keebler elf and live in a tree. It was some pretty nasty stuff. Well he ran into one of these dudes while out with his wife the other day and he was considered the coolest in our grade. His name was Jake. Well Jake was not only over weight but he had lost half his hair. When he realized that Dan's wife was who she was, he didn't know what to say. 

Moral of the story is this. Don't let what people say in High school dictate your live. You are worth something and deserve happiness.

According to this NYU study, taller men get married earlier, while shorter men get married later, make more money than their spouses, and marry women who are less educated.
