Has anyone figured this out yet? I keep reading things like "maybe if you ate your greens you would've grown more", but what about people like me whose parents cooked every other day and fed me healthy food. Lots of meats, greens and very little junk food. I got plenty of exercise, was an athlete in high school and still I didn't grow to average or above average height? By comparison, one of my best friends in High School ate nothing but junk food (candy, sweets, etc).
They say that height is 80% genetic and 20% environmental. Anyone have any insight as to which genes play into height and what a person can do to mitigate short stature? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm curious.
Woman keeps making fun of my height at work. How do I report it?
I have this woman at work who never seems to miss an opportunity to make fun of my height. Whether it's calling me a hobbit, putting things high in the air and asking me to reach it, asking me to stand next to taller people or reminding me that no woman would want a man who isn't even real.
At our holiday party this year, she asked me why I hadn't come dressed as an elf and told me to not bother asking for a raise because I wouldn't be able to reach it. This was in front of all of the other employees.
I cannot understand why for the life of me this kind of behavior is tolerated. If I was to even suggest that she were slightly overweight I would probably receive some kind of corrective action (I've seen this happen before).
Our HR department is full of women and I don't think they will take my complaints seriously. Do you have any advice on how I should approach this?
Anyone salty when they hear women talk about "body acceptance"?
There is an awesome article where Radio Host Mumia Obsidian Ali talks about this very topic. He examines People Magazine's Sexiest Man going all the way back to 1985 and found that with the exception of one person (Tom Cruise), every man was 5'10-6'2, white and ripped (Denzel Washington was the only Non-White).
The title says all; I will explain: A way to address heightism is by making shortness , stylish. To do this, would mean that companies would have to hire short male models. The problem is, nowadays consumer market economy/culture forces companies and businesses to use only what is deemed attractive; they make what is stylish and trendy. Becuase there aren't short male models or short lead male actors, we receive this treatment. Being portrayed as that silly, unserious follower needs to stop. And thus, being short is considered unattractive. That's the problem. As a shorter man, you need to be stylish. To push this even farther, you need to be kind of mainstream. We also need supporters.
There are other communities for short men on the web. A lot of them focus on things counterproductive to our progress as men like "growing taller", whining or are trolled relentlessly by people who want laughs or to boost their own egos (i.e. r/short on reddit).
Here though, things are really different. It's like we're all honest about society's view of us and work hard to become the best we can be in all other areas of our lives, while condemning height bigotry. It's a nice mix.
So I need help... I really like this girl in my university... She's nice and respectful to me and all, but I'm getting a sense that she's just being nice to me (as always). I normally don't pursue woman for obvious reasons, but I want to know how to tell if a woman likes you, especially if you're a shorter guy.
You need tall people and women on your side to fight height bigotry
Without them it wouldn't work. Think about Racism and Homophobia. It was abolitionists who helped push for emancipation. If it were just blacks, it wouldn't have went anywhere. It was heterosexual people who spoke out against intolerance towards gays and lesbians.
Because height bigotry affects short men disproportionately and no one cares about men's problems, you would need women and tall men to speak on your behalf in order for any "movement" to take root.
Why Trump winning is great for short men everywhere
I do not agree with that statement.
Trump have something that prolly anyone in here wont. So much money he can buy
anything. He made his way with honesty and money. Using this as a self motivation is just unrealistic and wrong.
I do see where you are going with it, and if you find it inspiring then good for you, really.
But i dont see other people acknowledge the general issue about shorter guys and therefore an invalid point.
thats just my view.
Man Does An Awesome Cartoon On His Life As A Short Guy!
Yup, I remember. And all the trite sayings like "Good things come in small packages."
Short teenage boys need wise, strong, loving, realistic advice from adults-- preferrable other short man, who can explain that "Yes, we've been saddled with a major, lifelong disadvantage. Here are effective ways to deal with it and make the best out of the hand that you've been dealt."
I'm 5'6" without shoes, with shoes I'm about 5'8", my height never bothered me. I actually prefer to be short, because I see how tall men walk, in such a slow, lumbering plodding way, they look like they're always in pain just by walking. Also, tall men have really bad back, heart and circulation issues, worse than short men. At this point in life (I'm 32), I don't care what others think of me or my height, it doesn't bother me anymore./

Kind of agree with you there. Taller guys have more wiggle room to have any body type and be accepted. As a short guy, you can't be too skinny, too muscular or too anything.
Will Short Guys Being Cucked Be A Given For Marriage 3.0
Apps like Tinder and POF mean that women can easily set their criterion to a very specific narrow range. We all know that women see 6 feet and over as the Golden Range. We also know that women are more likely to have one nighters and ongoing flings with men they find very attractive with height being a given there.
Do you think Short Guys who get married are destined to a life of being in a constant state of cuckdom?
