It sucks. We live in a time where the greatest short guys are played by tall blokes.
From Wikipedia:

Around the same age. 24-25. I had some broads make nasty comments about my height when out in a club with some friends. Then I made a profile on Okcupid and realized I wasn't getting many responses, but my uglier taller friends were. I did the height change test and put 5'11 on my profile to see if it would make a difference. When I started getting replies to every message I sent just about, I knew being short was a pretty big deal.
I was thinking about how much college corrupted me and wanted to know how or if college changed any of you.
Pre-University: I was extremely boring. Introverted. Played video games until 2 a.m.. Studied and have very few friends.
Post-University: I was having lots of casual encounters, drank and did lots of controlled substances, partied until the wee hours of the morning twice or three times a week, had multiple girlfriends, but still managed to crank a 3.8GPA. It's not a 4.0, but it was still good.
I'm very social now and owe it to college. How about any of you?
