As you can probably tell, I am a 5’1 adult male living in a world of criticism and insolence.  All this seems terrible; correct?  Well, actually no because I stand strong and I survive the attacks aimed at me.  To elaborate on this, I will explain my optimistic concept.  Call it what you will: acts of a syndrome, a silly idea, what have you.  I will attempt to speak my honest words.

Being a shorter male, I am sometimes laughed, disregarded, rejected, or betrayed, etc.  Witnessing these things really impacted me immensely.  I dwelled on these things then the epiphany hit me.  It explicates that being a shorter male is a blessing.  Why?  Because it grants him resilience, determination, and understanding.  This is a situation that involves “Every setback is an opportunity for a comeback.”  This was stated by Pastor Osteen.  That is what being a short man means: Never giving up and appreciating the situation, no matter what it is.

Always know that various important figures throughout time were short males.  There was the lawyer and leader, Mahatma Gandhi; the great entrepreneur, Andrew Carnegie; along with the passionate adventurer, Captain John Smith, the list goes on.  It is even said that Jesus of Nazareth was short!  I also need to include another leader, Martin Luther King Jr.  All these individuals that I have enumerated followed the optimistic notion.

Also, this is for those of you who are open to faith.  As a Christian, just know that God watches over you.  I have studied different faiths and philosophies, and I believe that God in the Christian context is the complex being of justice and righteousness.  This being always supports the “underdog,” of which could be the shorter man. 

Let me end off by saying: never give up and love yourself.  If someone tries putting you down, turn the left cheek and walk away, just as what Jesus of Nazareth did! 

Heck, just earlier today at university, someone spat a piece of gum on my favorite sweater today; I don’t know if this was an accident or on purpose!  But you want to know what I did?  I went to the restroom, washed it off, and went through the day smoothly!

To all: have a blessed day!

The whole dating "thing" is perpetuated by both men and women; however, it must be understood that women CONTROL the dating.  There is a biological explanation to this.  The woman is the "gatekeeper" who "selects" whom she is going to make the next generation with.  This means that the male who is considered attractive is the one who is welcomed.  Women "select" the "advantageous," i.e., attractive, genes that will keep the human race going.  This is all in their "programming."

Also, women "blame" patriarchy, this is really just a tactic to gain benefits.  I believe that these benefits would enable them easier access to the "top" men.  And the issue of the women's decision making could be understood when looking at the biological explanation I just wrote.  In terms of a scenario in which the woman goes for a "dirtbag," which is, of course, a bad decision, she doesn't care because he has "good" genes.  

So a lot of you seem perplexed about the whole ideal of Feminism and shorter men.  I am hearing many questions that go: "If feminism is for the empowered woman, why does she need a taller man?" or "How does heightism affect woman?"

I'm going to shed light on these issues.

Feminism nowadays is striving for MORE ADVANTAGES for the woman.  Feminism does NOT help the shorter men; in fact, it's more harmful.  Why?  Because it empowers the woman to do whatever she wants, and that is to go for TALLER men.  Feminism is harmful for the shorter man.

Heightism affects woman in a POSITIVE way.  In fact, I'd argue that heightism is being accentuated by woman RATHER than men.  When a woman receives "amicable" acts of heightism towards her, such as a pat on the head or treated like a child, please keep in mind she likes it.  A lot of woman nowadays follow this ideal of being cute and feminine.  

All in all, the institutionalized, contemporary feminism and heightism affects the woman POSITIVELY and the shorter men NEGATIVELY.

Yes, I have.  Nonetheless, I still get respect because I go to a prestigious educational institution, something that I WORKED for.  You brought up an important concept/issue that people need to understand: what a person WORKED for vs. what a person is GIVEN.  Obviously, this has a lot to do with shorter men; yet, most people ignore it and go for the "trendiest."  This juxtaposition of EARNED vs. GIVEN is important, especially in this day in age of narcissism, greed, and licentiousness.
