Even if you and some other short guys are perfectly happy with their life, that doesn't make it okay to be short.
Maybe they like to be at a disadvantage. Maybe they like to be unattractive. That's not to say that others want to be the same.
Someone might be happy to be desired by a single woman out of millions women despite seen as repulsive by the rest. But others might be not.
I can provide you with all the facts, studies and statistics (just like the ones I posted in this thread and other threads) showing that being short is not okay.
But I don't believe it's necessary, because we all know the truth at this point.
I'm still not understanding you here.
You say that this forum exists because short men are "isolated" from the rest of society and this forum was created because being short is "bad". But that is not the tag line of the forum and the whole site is branded on the complete opposite of "short = bad".
If this forum "only existed" because short men are "isolated", then why are there tall guy forums?

I don't think that anyone on this forum, even the "positive people" here won't say something like, "it's better to be short than tall". They, like I know that short isn't the "ideal", but that doesn't meant that you are relegated to some life of doom as you make it out to be.
Like many of the other posters here, I've had girlfriends, I have hook-ups, went to college, have a great job, etc.
The only thing I won't be able to do is join the NBA, but then again, there are short players who had to be really really good to get in, so even that is a possibility.
I think you take the studies you read too seriously to the point where you believe those determine your fate or something and if you get out and live, life isn't really like that.
If you were 4'11 or something, then I could understand the doom and gloom, but you're 5'6. Come on man....

This is a good question. To be honest, I'm really annoyed by these positive cultists who do nothing but spread useless platitudes like:
- "It's perfectly ok to be short" (If it was then this forum wouldn't have existed in the first place, wouldn't you say? Clearly you most likely would need to have some issues with it to even end up here like the user Suarez223 who has confessed that he's been underestimated because of his height)
Isn't this disingenuous though? There are tens of thousands of forums on different topic and in different niches all over the web. Why do any of them exist? Not every forum exists because people are unhappy to talk about something. In most cases, it's because the people who participate on it have something in common and look for like minded or similarly situated people to discuss.
Why do Honda forums exist? Because there are people who drive Hondas and those who join such a forum would discuss Honda automobiles. They enjoy the product and would like to talk to other people who have them or are experts on the subject.
I've visited r/short before. What this place does not have in common with r/short is the influence of brigaders and trollers. That's why I prefer this place. At least here, we stay on topic.
I rarely post here but your posts put this back on my radar.

I will say batmanbegins, you've made this place interesting. I've been following your posts for a little while
I don't agree with much of what you say, but I am curious. I have two questions:
1. What do short men need to do?
2. What would make this place better since you don't like how many of the people are here?
