Sounds crazy, but when I go to stores, I usually shop for S/P sizes. The other day I went into a vintage store and medium sizes fit me perfectly - gloves, pants, shirts - you name it. The perfect fit surprised the hell out of me.
This leads me to ask. Were men significantly shorter in the 1910s - 1930s?
In my experience, it's been women. Most of the comments about my height from my male peers have been in jest, like reaching something on a shelf or doubts about my abilities in sports (then praise when I win at something).
From women, it's either been everything from ostracizing to comments about how I am not a real man or even outright rude comments in the workplace. What is your opinion?
I believe this is a great place to get support from other short men who have become comfortable with themselves or were always confident. Were any of you depressed over your height or how you were treated because of it? How did you get over it?
