It’s true that being a short man has disadvantages, but so is being black or Hispanic. A black man who dwells on his disadvantages in life, which are very real, will never get ahead in life. Successful black men know this. Likewise, it’s a terrible idea to dwell on the disadvantages of being a short man. The best revenge is living well, so study short, successful men to learn how to succeed.
My question to my fellow short men is if they have the other attributes women find appealing in a man. You can easily find these on the Web. Do you have confidence? No one is his/her right mind wants to be with a partner who doesn’t have confidence. I find a women with confidence to be much more attractive than a woman who lacks it.
Are you educated in a field that pays well? If not, get yourself to college. Remember that people with much less intelligence than you are getting college degrees – seriously. Look up online to see which jobs pay well. Avoid majoring in history, philosophy, the arts, or anything else that doesn’t lead to a good job. A woman wants to be married to a good provider. If you don’t understand and accept this, height isn’t your problem.
How about the way you dress? I’ve seen videos of American men trying to get brides in Russia. No wonder they have to go overseas to find a wife – they don’t know how to dress. The way you dress reflects on the woman.
My bottom line is that we need to make sure factors other than height aren’t tripping us.
Im 5 5 as well and am 48 and I really appreciate your post. I am a successful professional, was married for 19 years, got divorced and now am serious w a 34 year old beauty. I must admit though that I am still very self conscious about my height and how people view me for being short, both men and woman. Its easy to say "I dont care what other people think. But being aware that there is a general perception toward short men as being negative is hard to ignore and sometimes it makes me feel self conscious and insecure. The idea that we must just accept it and be happy regardless of this perception and the insults that accompany it, encourages the blatant heightism seen in society. Im a confident strong minded man but that doesnt mean I should be ok with insults meant to degrade me.
