What is the thing you find hardest to buy?

I just have trouble shopping in general. LOL I hate it and I never know what looks best on me so I try to avoid it. I will shop online most of the time though which makes it easier to find my sizes.

Community and Acceptance when short

 

I hope to find a group of people who uderstand what it's like, since that is absent in my real life. I spent years telling myself I wasnt treated differently, and it was all in my head, but I was right. Others noticed. So looking back at it, I knew at a young age hieght discrimination was a thing, I just refused to accept it. Memories burned into my mind have shaped the angry and depressed person I am. Best example was in middle school. Girl comes up to me unprovoked in shop class and starts making fun of my hieght. I knew she was in foster care, so when I'd had enough, I told her to stop being a bitch and her mother might come back. She flew into a rage and punched me in the face. Only when I told her if she swung at me again, itd be on did the teacher intervene. I was the only one who got in trouble. Was what I said harsh? Sure. I'll admit that. But was hitting me in retaliation a reasonable response? Hell no. And the principle told me she had free reigh to hit me if I said anything about her mom again. That molded me into the broken person I am today. Honestly, and no offense, but other short guys are worse than average or tall people, as I can only imagine empathy is overpowered by the joy of not being 'the short one'. I isolate myself because I'm sick of the double standards and bullshit I deal with, and if I do anything other than laugh I'm an asshole. I don't fit in, figuratively and literally. How do you guys handle it? Go out into the world and know you're the only acceptable target? I've been through counseling, therapy, and meds, and every time I end up the same way; tired of people's shit and withdrawn from the society that rejects me and I crave acceptance in. Sorry for word wall, I just want to know how people who deal with similar life stories go on.

Tall men who don't try

I want to make it clear I don't mind loosing to men who have worked for their achievements. If a guy who has put more work in, is more qualified, funnier, takes more risks gets the girl/job/promotion/more respect than me; fair enough. I am not going to be pretend to be a saint and say I don't envy such men but when a man earns something on merit, it is just. To beat them or match them I just have to work harder, take more risks myself.

However they is a category of man who winds me up no-end, I will illustrate with an example. Guy at work who has a rich parents who sent him to an expensive school, he didn't work, so failed his exams. He ended up a a second rate uni and failed there as will. This guy has had every advantage in life and has done nothing with it. He does make up for that with charm, any talents outside work, he is a complete mediocrity. Yet he has a knockout stunning girlfriend. This doesn't make sense till you discover he is 6'2" and that is all that seems to matter.

Another guy ended up with equally stunning women and once again he has done nothing to deserve it. He has a low status job, with no prospects. He is not exceptionally smart or funny, he doesn't even workout. The guy is 30 years old and looks middle aged. It doesn't matter, he is 6' 4" and thanks to that, he can cruise though life on the easy setting.

I find these men so frustrating because I know I am better than them. In every field of life I beat them. I have a better job than them, I went to a better uni, am more qualified and have more talent than they do. I am also in far better shape but none of that matters because they are above the magic 6' mark they beat me without even having to do a thing.

Has a woman flatly rejected you for height? Let's hear your story.

Has this happened to you? Often? Were you ever humiliated over it? Tell us what happened and how it went down.

Ever meet a tall guy who was cocky just because of his height?

I always hear people going on and on about this "napoleon complex" thing, but in my own personal life, it's almost always been the opposite. 

Whenever I am the shortest in the room in a social or professional setting, there is always one taller guy who "peacocks" and acts like they're tough stuff. Many times it's them showing off in front of a woman and others its with snarky comments, but the showing off and comments are usually comparative. The showing off could be passing something over my head, placing something in a really high place, or just flat-out disrespect, but to make themselves look good.

No one ever calls them out on it and I'm convinced it is height related.

Joe Rogan's height attacked by anonymous Sky-writing message in LA

Spending a couple grand to insult short guys. I bet the guy who asked for that is tall.

What's the point of our lives as short men?

Honestly, most of us are single, childless and depressed.  What's the point of our lives, is it to suffer until we die?  That's a very bad life.  Why not end it sooner and end the suffering and misery?

"Only short guys with bad attitudes get made fun of"

This makes it seem like being short is inherently flawed, so that if a man who happens to be short is on his "best behavior", then he deserves to be called out for his lack of height. Make this make sense. I've never seen a tall man with an attitude get called out for his excess height.

pretty privilege for women = tall privilege for men

you are delusional if you think there is anything good about being short. being short is the equivalent of being a fat ugly woman.

What The Fresh And Fit Scandal Can Teach Short Men

I liked Myron's ability to get the women on his show understand how a man thinks, but as the show went on and on, his emotional tirades showed that he was far less "alpha" than he portrays himself to be.

Any advice on how to appear older and more mature?

Hi. I am glad this place exists. I am starting out in my career and want to be taken more seriously. I notice that the taller guys in my field (IT) get taken more seriously even when they know less and can provide less solutions than myself. I am not saying this to sound arrogant, but I get the impression that there is a connection between their height and perceived trustworthiness. 

Any advice on how I can appear more mature or older? I guess this would be a request for style advice. I know you have a style forum here but this "community" forum seems to be more active.
