Anyone have problems finding a good tee? Like even size small goes too low below the belt and sometimes there's too much space around the torso. Where do you guys buy your tees?

I’m a 57 year-old man of 5’5”, and I like being a short man. I’m more comfortable in airplanes than tall people, I can weave through crowds easily, and I can surprise people by being a polite person. I’m educated, have a good job, and I got the girl.
It’s true that being a short man has disadvantages, but so is being black or Hispanic. A black man who dwells on his disadvantages in life, which are very real, will never get ahead in life. Successful black men know this. Likewise, it’s a terrible idea to dwell on the disadvantages of being a short man. The best revenge is living well, so study short, successful men to learn how to succeed.
My question to my fellow short men is if they have the other attributes women find appealing in a man. You can easily find these on the Web. Do you have confidence? No one is his/her right mind wants to be with a partner who doesn’t have confidence. I find a women with confidence to be much more attractive than a woman who lacks it.
Are you educated in a field that pays well? If not, get yourself to college. Remember that people with much less intelligence than you are getting college degrees – seriously. Look up online to see which jobs pay well. Avoid majoring in history, philosophy, the arts, or anything else that doesn’t lead to a good job. A woman wants to be married to a good provider. If you don’t understand and accept this, height isn’t your problem.
How about the way you dress? I’ve seen videos of American men trying to get brides in Russia. No wonder they have to go overseas to find a wife – they don’t know how to dress. The way you dress reflects on the woman.
My bottom line is that we need to make sure factors other than height aren’t tripping us.
Nicely said. Welcome to the forum Marcus. Have you noticed any difference in the way society views short men now versus say when you were in your 20s and 30s?
IMO I think it's because of his limited dating experiences as he admitted. 5'9 is spot on average. His height won't hurt him or help him.
