When it comes to being pretty short these days, I feel I don't need to workout a lot. I know it's a good idea to workout, even if I'm skinny and fit, but I don't feel like there's really a point. I eat healthy, and I am often out and about. Do some of you short fellas feel that workout is sometimes pointless? I weight 120lbs and I feel like it's pointless sometimes. What do you think?

So, I've only gone to college for two semester, starting this fall, and I've figured I would be in major debt if I were to go the full four years. I stayed in the dorms this year, but I probably would have moved back home for the next year. For some reason, I just feel like it's too much work. I couldn't get into it like most people could. Plus I have some ideas on businesses to start soon, so I'm going to give that a shot very soon. 

I've noticed that during meetings at my company I frequently get cut off mid sentence when sharing ideas or giving input, where as my taller colleagues are given room to express themselves. I also noticed that some of my shorter collegues tend to use their hands and a lot of body language while talking.

My way around this is to continue talking even when there is an attempt to cut me off mid sentence. How do you all deal with this?

I think one of the only real benefits of being short aesthetics-wise is that shorter bodies are better for bodybuilding. Short guys can get shredded easier than taller guys without the aid of gear. That's why I think EVERY short man needs to get out to the gym and become as ripped as they can. Don't kid yourself, it's not going to completely close the distance between you and other taller men, but it will help.

Little Man Fights Big Man

What are the odds of a short guy like myself (5'5) winning a fight like this? Have any of you ever fought a man much larger than yourself and won? What was your strategy? I am taking up Jiu Jitsu now and will soon have to fight much bigger guys as I am the shortest guy in my class. 

Need I say more? I didn't think he was 5'4 until I checked out the Gallery here.

To all of the guys out there, I'm 5'6 and live in New York City. What cars do you suggest as being best for a guy my size? I've checked out a load of cars in the last month or so. I know the stereotype is that short guys drive big cars to overcompensate, but the last thing I'd ever want to drive is a huge car. Add to that, living in the city, space is premium, so if I bought a big car, I'd probably never get parking!

The criterea of a car for me would be $28,000 or less, preferably roomy enough for my size, but compact enough to fit anywhere. Power seats are a must, leather interior when all possible. I would rather drive a coupe, but if you really recommend a sedan and can tell why, then I will consider it.

Some of the cars I've checked out were the Nissam Altima coupe ($10K or less used), the Honda Civic EX-L, the Acura RSX (they don't make it anymore, but some of the later models look great and do have a leather interior). There is also the Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta (they don't make it in a Coupe, boooo), and then some of the older BMW coupes which are really nice, but I am afraid of maintanance costs.

Any of you guys have any suggestions? What would you recommend and why? I'd prefer a late model, but not necessarily new (2007+)

I ask this because being a smaller guy myself, I've managed to put on the same amount of muscle and look more brolic than my gym buddy who is about 6'2. We've both been working out for nearly a year and I look more like I've worked out than he does.
