I see what you are doing, and its a good deed. but the problem is, that it is not yet socially acceptable for a man to ask for help from others that do not sit in the same wagon.

In general, having people of the opposite talkin on your behalf makes us look weak in this exact moment.

You are looking at it the wrong way tho'. blacks, gays etc are not primitive issues, but short people are, especially men who are seen as lesser.

So then what would your approach be?

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

There is an awesome article where Radio Host Mumia Obsidian Ali talks about this very topic. He examines People Magazine's Sexiest Man going all the way back to 1985 and found that with the exception of one person (Tom Cruise), every man was 5'10-6'2, white and ripped (Denzel Washington was the only Non-White).

Have you checked out the "How To Become A Confident Short Man: 10 Steps To Make You Begin Kicking Ass In Life" PDF that you get for free when signing up to this site? Have you checked out some of the Confidence articles around here?

First off, 5'3 is life on hard mode because of the way society views shortness in us men. Second, you have to get out there and face rejection. We all face it. It doesn't matte how tall we are or aren't. You can't make moves without actually making moves.

If you're Banker, you're already "better" than 99% of us as the income you can make in that field puts you ahead of the game.

Hello, and welcome. I am new to the group, too. If nothing else, it's the one place where we can talk openly and share our frustrations and grief with the only people who really understand the challenge and the constant emotional pain of not being tall enough. I't a decade older than you, and only 5'4", so I can relate to exactly how you feel. Being around tall men, even if they don't intend to be intimidating, is still uncomfortable and intimidating for guys our size. I face it every day. And yes, I often feel bummed for a long time after an encounter like that one. It's absolutely true that the bully is insecure and gets his jollies out of picking on guys like us. Realizing that doesn't make it easier for us-- we still have to bear the pain, suffer the indignation, wipe ourselves off, and go forward.

That's where this group comes in-- we can at least empathize with some other guy who has to endure this sort of thing. I am tired of trying to explain the problem to my wife (who cares but can't figure it out and is tired of hearing it), my friends (who are all normal size and clueless), or anyone else, really. Unless you are a short guy stuck for life in a world in which tall men have the obvious physical advantage, you don't get it.

Let's support each other.

Welcome to the forum GymShorts. What made you pick that particular name?
