Big chest and shoulders make us look shorter?

Anyone else feel this way? I have a naturally wide chest and shoulders and large calves. I workout regularly to maintain definition, but am blessed in the sense that I have naturally what I hear a lot of my guy friends spend hours trying to achieve in the gym. 

I've been told by others (women, taller men) that working out to gain a bigger chest makes short guys look even shorter. While I like the way that I look and am overall confident, I'm wondering what everyone's take on this is. Do any of you avoid gaining mass because of that point of view?

I don't know that it would make anyone look "shorter". Being a smaller guy just means that subtle changes are more noticeable. Since we're short to begin with, it just makes us stand out a bit more.

That can be a good thing too. I've had to work to bulk up, but women that didn't notice me would when summertime hit and I'd wear a short sleeve shirt or go shirtless to the beach.

Look shorter? No. You are whatever height you are. You will look more defined and masculine. In the gym, shorter guys who lift and look it tend to get a bit more respect. I suspect it's because men generally respect other men who put in work.

For dating though, the one thing I noticed is that on the occasion where I see taller woman-shorter guy couple, the shorter man almost always has some muscle on him.
