At first, I felt bad for you. But now you are starting to sound like a tool. People on here have offered responses and told you what to do, yet you continue the feminine trait of whining. You could be 4'10"...would you prefer that height instead? Go get cosmetic limb lengthening and be done with it. No man on earth is desired by every woman... you know how ridiculous that sounds to say? Limb lengthen. It's your only solution.

Best answer in this thread.

I was given treatment for It, I am short because doctors were too stupid to know about side effects of corticosteroids. I bet everyone on this forum is naturally short, due to genetics, which is not my case. My dad is 5"11, come on, I literally had cushing's, which the main effect, is stunted growth, ALL my peers would comment on how my growth was slow, Jesus Christ, I remember ALL of this, and you say I am speculating? Even my doctors confirmed that I lost a few inches.

The point is, you are short right now as an adult, so yes, you were "meant to be short". The series of events that lead you to where you are today were a result of genetics, even if not directly tied to your height.

Re: Lifting weights

This is where biology comes into play and your observations are not unfounded. I too noticed in my weight lifting days, I would get "challenged" or "side-eyed" by taller men. I wouldn't call it intimidation, but more so "stepping on their turf". Us shorter men regularly get accused of being "insecure", but most of the time, it's usually others being insecure. The "stepping on their turf' equates to also stepping out of our lane.

You’ll see the same “advice” that height doesn’t matter, be more ConFIdEnT!! a comparison to A-Listers that have a LOT of things going for them that excel them beyond that of the average guy (looks, fame, interesting career, money to name a few).

I guess what I’ve learned is that life is pretty unfair and for the most part nothing you do will change that.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. I did read your entire post, but wish to respond to these key points.

The world does not owe us a thing. More importantly, as males, the world doesn't care about our problems. This forum is great for sharing our experiences however no doubt. Glad to see you here.

You are correct, the world absolutely isn't fair. You made a point about the "usual short men advice about being confident".

A lot of people dislike the C word yes, but what was interesting is the sentence where you point out that "A-List short men have things going for them that excel them beyond that of the average guy"

Bottom line, you have identified the problem and provided yourself with a (correct) solution

Life is unfair, and people "behind the curve" have to develop traits or accomplish things that put them ahead of the curve. That's the way life is and that fact will not change in our lifetime.

What this means is, you have to work on the things that you can change. You can learn a skill, you can work on your fitness, you can improve your fashion, you can work on your looks to a certain degree. Since you have control over those things, you can only gain from working on them.

Women should never be your goal, but a by-product of your success. Being short means having to develop a thick skin. It's not fair and it takes a long time to digest this. Personal happiness can only come from within.

Again, welcome to the forum!
