Anyone here ever get bullied by WOMEN over their height?
Sometimes in the workplace or when hanging out it happens, where a woman would single me out to make jokes, but almost always mean spirited. It's been happening since I graduated college. Usually surrounding guys would laugh then get in on the bullying.
During WWI, The British Had Bantam Regiments. Soilders 5'4 And Under
During World War I, many men wanted to sign up to fight but the British had a height requirement of 5 foot 4. To service these enthusiatic would-be soldiers, they created separate battalions that would be lead by officers of normal height. Their rifles would be cut 6 inches shorter and they had custom made uniforms to accommodate their short stature.
I am currently 30 years old and I'm 5'6. I began loosing my hair at 22. I know that it is what it is, but every now and then, I do become a little insecure about it. Who else is short and have the bald gene?
Does your mother treat you worse than your taller siblings?
My mother would occasionally throw in shots to express her disappointment with how tall I did not become, but I also noticed that she would coddle more even though I am older. She would give my brothers tougher chores and listens to them for advice on how to accomplish certain tasks where she would be more hesitant and "mother like" when it came to me doing stuff (i.e. "be careful, "do it this way", etc).
So here is the thing.
Im in my mid 20's and at least in Denmark where i am from. People tend to get kids around my age or when they finish their education.
Its not very uncommon to see parents, especially single mothers below age 25.
But the general issue about heightism has brought me a very sceptic view on having todlers.
I find the world chaotic where hypocrism has taken over, where women are more shallow than men.
As a comedian said "Women want a guy who is; taller, stronger, smarter, older and makes more money. But what is there for a guy to like beside ass at titties?"
In short, i find it irresponsible to bring a kid into this world with all the shallowness if thats a word.
Which makes me not want to have kids.
Maybe i will change my mind in some years i dont know.
5'0 Women Loudly Announcing They Only Date Men 6'+. Ever See This?
I'm talking about being in any random social situation and a women in the super short range like 5'2 and under rambling and proclaiming how much they only date tall guys so everyone around her can hear. Double ditto if there are short guys around. It's usually followed up by some short guy ridicule. Usually comes from women under 30 too. How do you guys react to this?
I think I found this site a few years ago. Read some threads and never joined but I did recently.
Regarding (short) height, I think it is good to remember the advantages. For example, easier to brush teeth!
For me, at 5'4", that height comes in handy at least 1-2 times per week...
1. I regularly bicycle with a reproduction Schwinn Stingray. Those who remember know that they are quite low to the ground. 20-inch tires. Easy for anyone to ride those if they are under about 5'9".
2. I own a '76 Cadillac limousine. Being a limousine with a partition window, the front seat does not go back as far as those on the other Cadillac models from that year. Anyone over about 5'10" would feel cramped driving it. Plenty of room in the front for me! I drive this car about once every two weeks.
Anyway, I just wanted to post in the new member forum.
How did you feel when you knew you stopped growing?
How did you know when you stopped growing and how did you feel about it? Any reality checks, disappointment or resentment? Did you care? Did it have a major impact on you at that point?
I was growing normally until I took Accutane. My Mom is 165cm and my Dad is 180cm. At the age of 12 I was 152cm. At the age of 14 I was 168cm. All graphs, charts, and calculations predicted that I would be around 180cm, the same height as my dad. Then I did an Accutane course, which finally got rid of my bad acne (nothing else worked). However, when I got myself measured at 15, I was still 168cm. I never grew again. I'm now 29. For the longest time I wondered why I had so quickly slid down the height charts, and so did my parents, relatives, and family friends. At first I thought it was my less than ideal nutrition as a teenager, or the fact that I didn't sleep enough or some other environmental thing. But then I read testimonies from others who said Accutane stunted their potential, and it all started to make sense. The timeframe coincided perfectly. I got used to being short though, it doesn't bother me anymore. But it's crazy how many people are taller than me nowadays. They say the average female is 5ft 4, but in my experience it seems like 5ft 6 is more accurate. And when I go out to bars and girls are wearing heels, I'm shorter than most of them. Anyone have a similar experience with Accutane?
