Yes, I completely understand that you people are just trying to be positive. But I like said, there's a difference between being positive and delusional ignorant.

You should have included r/tall also. There are also real negatives effects of being extremely tall also like 6'6" and above. Especially if you are a woman and as tall as 6'1" more, that could be a serious problem too.

Really?
Take a look at this one for instance: http://shortkingz.com/topic/how-much-would-you-pay-to-grow-taller-1438#p5465
His exact words "Why would you "need" to be taller?" He's literally discouraging people from being taller (even if there was a safe way to do so). And then he gave all these non-sense laughable reasons of why being tall is bad:
"See, and if these people did grow taller, they'd be more of a target for divorce, rape accusations, alimony, child support and they'd be miserable like many of my taller friends who had options galore when it came to women."
So you are incorrect to say that people on this forum won't think that way. And this is exactly the kind of post that annoys me.

They, like I know that short isn't the "ideal", but that doesn't meant that you are relegated to some life of doom as you make it out to be.
Like many of the other posters here, I've had girlfriends, I have hook-ups, went to college, have a great job, etc.

If you were 4'11 or something, then I could understand the doom and gloom, but you're 5'6. Come on man....
And what exactly are you referring to by this 'doom'?
I never said you couldn't go to college because you're short.
I never said you couldn't make money because you're short.
I never said you couldn't get married and start a family because you're short.
I said that short men in general are not seen as sexually desirable like tall men, which is not wrong.
Again, this depends on how short you are.
There is a point where you're just too short to be found sexually attractive by pretty much any woman.
There is a point where you're too short for some women, but still acceptable for other women.
I'm not trying to underestimating your achievement.
But to fair, I don't know these girlfriends/hook-ups you got.
I don't know how many of them. How they look like. What's their heights. What's their motivations. Whether they're truly sexually attracted to you or did you give them anything else at all in return.
I don't need the answers, but you get my point.

Not exactly. There are professions that require certain height too.
Take this one for an example: https://www.thesegoldwings.com/height-flight-attendant/
So again, I'm sorry to say that it's incorrect to say that NBA is the only thing you can't do because of your height.
