Re: 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."

Re: Anyone salty when they hear women talk about "body acceptance"?

I hear you. From our perspective it can be a double standard. But, honestly, we all have, and should have, preferences. I refused to ever date women who were taller than I am, which knocks out half the female population. I wouldn't even consider dating women in the other half. So, I guess I leave room for everyone to rule out some people. That said, it has always troubled me that the ideal for men as you said above is SUCH a narrow range.

Re: Why Trump winning is great for short men everywhere

Interesting take on it. Yes, any story in which the obvious underdog is victorious interests us, indeed.

Re: I Like Being a Short Man

I am always glad when a short guy either likes his height, or is at least comfortable with it. Not so for me. I suppose my friends and colleagues would find that odd-- I determined a long time ago to be very ambitious and live a life worth living-- I have been happily married for 31 years, and have kids and grandkids and they're all happy. I have college degrees and serve as a VP at a college, very active in professional associations, and do public speaking, skits, etc. all the time. I live around my height, in spite of it, ignoring it as I press on, but never comfortable with it, or glad about it.

Some friends think that by being shut out of all the big boy games I was forced to develop an incisive wit, charming style, and pursue all the artistic things I do, too. Perhaps, but I have never been at ease about being short, and by this stage in life, don't imagine I ever will. My size small-size hat is off to all of you guys who enjoy it, or whom it doesn't bother. More power to you.
