The Facebook Dilemma
You've all lived it: you're scrolling along on Facebook and one of your friends has posted a meme slamming short people. For me this morning it was a triple whammy: One post was "You've gotta hand it to short people...'cause they can't reach it." Then came a photo posted by my high school classmate who was 6'6" and a basketball "hero": a basketball friend of his who is 6'9", and the comments like "WOW. I thought you were tall." and then a photo of my son and his high school chums from nine years ago, and all the gushing comments about one of his buddies who is also 6'9": "Look at him, he's so tall...." So, here's the deal, guys: Don't comment. Just don't. We can't say anything publicly without making it worse. On a public forum like Facebook, silence is your biggest ally. Here's why: Once you say something, everyone else feels compelled to jump in and it becomes a discussion that only make it worse. You'll get trite comments from a well-meaning old woman like "Good things come in small packages." and you'll get slammed by big guys who just add insult to injury: "Just get over it, hunh? Stop whining." So, if you feel insulted by something, here's my advice: private message the friend who posted it and politely, firmly point out to them that you found it hurtful, not funny. You might mention that it is socially unacceptable to tease people about being fat (which they can change if they try), but that short people, especially men, are still considered open game by others. It's rude, hurtful, and totally unnecessary. I did that once, and the friend deleted it and apologized saying that she had never thought about it that way. We're still good friends. I handled it privately in a calm, mature way. That's our best choice. Don't unfriend anyone. Don't take the bait. Don't return insult for insult. Above all, don't let their boneheaded post ruin your day. Your good friends and family love you for who you are, what you do, and how you treat them. They respect you when you accomplish things in life, despite being short which puts you at a distinct disadvantage all the time. And just keep scrolling. |

Lifting weights
This is where biology comes into play and your observations are not unfounded. I too noticed in my weight lifting days, I would get "challenged" or "side-eyed" by taller men. I wouldn't call it intimidation, but more so "stepping on their turf". Us shorter men regularly get accused of being "insecure", but most of the time, it's usually others being insecure. The "stepping on their turf' equates to also stepping out of our lane.

Being short has ruined my life...

I guess what I’ve learned is that life is pretty unfair and for the most part nothing you do will change that. Hi. Welcome to the forum. I did read your entire post, but wish to respond to these key points. The world does not owe us a thing. More importantly, as males, the world doesn't care about our problems. This forum is great for sharing our experiences however no doubt. Glad to see you here. You are correct, the world absolutely isn't fair. You made a point about the "usual short men advice about being confident". A lot of people dislike the C word yes, but what was interesting is the sentence where you point out that "A-List short men have things going for them that excel them beyond that of the average guy" Bottom line, you have identified the problem and provided yourself with a (correct) solution Life is unfair, and people "behind the curve" have to develop traits or accomplish things that put them ahead of the curve. That's the way life is and that fact will not change in our lifetime. What this means is, you have to work on the things that you can change. You can learn a skill, you can work on your fitness, you can improve your fashion, you can work on your looks to a certain degree. Since you have control over those things, you can only gain from working on them. Women should never be your goal, but a by-product of your success. Being short means having to develop a thick skin. It's not fair and it takes a long time to digest this. Personal happiness can only come from within. Again, welcome to the forum!

How much would you pay to grow taller?
If there were a procedure to make you grow taller safely or maybe a magic pill, how much would you pay? Not talking about Leg Lengthening as that makes your legs longer. I am talking about perfectly proportioned. I know women who spent over $30,000 on boob jobs. How much would you pay? |

Comfortable elevator dress shoes recommendations? Less than 3 inches
I've had two pairs of elevator sneakers from tallmenshoes.com. They boost me up 2 inches. Very satisfied with them. Very good quality. Unfortunately my feet get tired from my heels elevated when I walk a lot. It sounds like I'm not the only one. I only wear my elevators occasionly but I do enjoy being a bit taller! |

Do you know of any dating/game material aimed at short guys?
I'm not talking about general advice, e.g. wear clothes that make you look taller, etc. I'm talking about comprehensive materials (e.g. a book, forum, website) specifically designed to improve short guys' game.

If you're proud of being short clap your hands
Hi Community! I am not only a short guy but also a light guy: 55 kg on the good days. I do realize it is hard for women to feel sexually attracted to us given their (rather common, not everyone's like that blablabla I KNOW) instinct to seek out a more protective, dominant and reassuring figure for a mate. To be fair, I sometimes feel insecure myself knowing I'd get smashed in a fight against a taller man. This is probably why I turned out to be a rather agreeable person. I cannot really afford to upset other people too much. Cheers if you can relate :)
FAQ
1/ How to make up for my minimalistic stature? - Social skills: be interesting, entertaining, empathetic and good at talking. Wait.. it's the same advice people give to ugly people, LOL! - Bulk up. Hit that gym. Gain mass, so there's more of you. Take care of yourself. Be handsome, at least, Goddamit!
2/ Is the short man an endangered species? - Yes, I do think so. People are getting taller and taller as a result of both mating selection and increased access to high-calories food. Go check out the kids in your local high school: all of them are tall, it's crazy!
3/ What hope is there for us, then? - On the downside, Tinder gives women unprecedented access to a massive pool of highly desirable men (aka tall.. ok ok it's fine, I'm trolling) to casually hook-up with, in an increasingly sexually liberated society. As consequence, your regular 5/10 next-door guy is getting left out... and cannot talk about it because as middle-class Caucasian he already has the better end of the stick, right? - On the upside, attractive sex robots powered by AI will be mainstream in a couple years. I can't wait to see how this is going to give rise to a new class of sexually satisfied MGTOWs and... Okay, this deviates too much from the original topic. In short (ho ho) let me know if you want to connect. Happy to exchange and meet you all!

What would you "positive short guys" tell Kent?
|
0 | 957 | by Buncome |
What you guys need to hear. Looks aren't THAT important....
I don't always agree with this guy, but truer words have never been spoken when it applies to men, and these "looks" should also include height. There are portions of this video where he goes off on tangents which the video could have done without, but overall the message could not be any clearer and on point. Being short is not a death sentence. Non-select men just have to up their value in other areas and looks while are certainly a positive for us guys, it matters less and less, especially ~30 and beyond. |

Daniel Radcliffe admits he is NOT a sex symbol because of his HEIGHT
http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/2591957/Daniel-Radcliffe-plays-down-sex-symbol-status Quote: Daniel Radcliffe is too short to be a sex symbol. He said: "It's very kind of them, but I don't know. If girls like short and nerdy, then I'm a sex symbol. "Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. He's a genuinely sexy guy - he's got the height."
Quote: Plus, Daniel puts himself down for being short (he’s 5’6″) — particularly compared to Rob, who’s 6’1″. “He has the perfect height to seduce girls, I’m the total opposite,” he said, laughing. “He might be charming and cute, wild and sexy .. I do not have this kind of status, just look at pictures in the press. When we’re put side by side, I look a little silly or I make faces whereas Rob always looks like a ladies’ man. Therefore it doesn’t help me when it comes to the ladies.”
5'7" James McAvoy also said something similar. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1031942/Im-short-puny-How-I-sex-symbol.html
I see that delusional level of people here genuinely amazes me, calling Prince and Bruno Mars "sex symbols". Now we have 2 short (not even as short as Prince / Bruno Mars) extremely successful actors telling us that THEY ARE NOT SEX SYMBOLS AND THE REASON BEING IS THEIR HEIGHTS. Of course a lot of people are gonna give tons of excuses acting that they know better than these 2 actors above who clearly have been let down by their heights. That should probably tell you something. |

Amen. Single, childless men have no excuse not to work a lot of hours and stack.

New guy needs help
Your answer is in your question. Stop comparing yourself to others and build your own brand. There's only one you, and even living in Europe, 5'10 is just under average in the tallest countries, spot on average in most and above average in places like Spain and Italy.
