Here's my wedding picture.

No, my wife wasn't in heels (though most women's shoes do add more height than most men's). I'm about 5'2" or 5'3" (been a long time since I bothered to check). We've been married since 1983. Yes, people giggle at our height difference.

Fact 1: Short guys don't get as many women.

Fact 2: You don't need many women. You need one.

I was tall and fat in highschool with a speech impediment.

I'm pretty sure we had mostly the same experience.

Do you ever lie about your height? Do you wish you took human growth hormone when you were younger? Are you small boned too? Do you have any injuries from being generally smaller than the typical person? Do you carry your height well?

How self conscious are you about your height? What about when hanging out with friends? Are you the shortest guy?

I'm 1.70 and you just took away my whining privileges about my height.

And I'm sorry, that's probably like 5'8" or something but I'm not looking it up.

lanismycousin · 2 years

that isnt short. Short was my ex gf who was 4 ft 5 and she was the tallest in her house. She came from a long line of real short vietnamese people

I'm tall and I don't get any women.

My roommate is super tiny and he gets tons.

BAM

I'm just 2 inches taller then you and it does suck...

Greater than 5'2" guys consider themselves short because women consider them short. If you're under 5'7" you might as well be a dwarf. If you're 5'7" to 5'10" you're still strongly disadvantaged in the dating game, but not as badly as if you're under 5'7". I'd say a 5'3" guy has as much of a dating disability as a 6' even guy who had a jar of acid explode in his face. Sure, either can get lucky, but they'd both better be millionaire poets who can tie knots in cherry stems with their tongues while cooking gourmet dinners.

Girls may say they prefer guys to be this height or this height, but in the end, it's all about confidence and showing an interest in her.

I'm 5'5", and contrary to your disbelief, I consider myself short. I also dated a girl for a year who was 5'10". Should probably do an AMA about that.

Do people actually still care about height? I honestly don't even notice/care how tall or short people are anymore. I don't know why.

Do any martial arts? Place I go to has some short guys (black belts) and they're wicked fast. I always wonder if they're more motivated to do well since they don't automatically have a "big/tall/scary" vibe.

what do you do for a living? does your height ever affect your work at all?

justwanttoplease · 2 years

You're probably not going to see this through the deluge of comments- but i've read quite a few posts in the posts about short guys and women. I'd give it a thorough search, but the gist is confidence, (but not big-headedness), gym, and the right attitude will go a long way. Also i remember reading something about women choosing shorter guys for husbands. Good luck

You should try to find some casual relationships... friends with benefits type deals. Not all relationships have to end in drama / kids / divorce.

As a guy who was short all of his life (with the exception of the last 2 years), I was just wondering how you got things off of high shelves. I (being a skinny little fucker, when I was 16 I was 4'10" and weighed around 96~98Lbs) always just climbed the shelves/door frames at home, or jumped if I could get them that way. In stores I would have to wait for people though :-\

Brother, the more you care about your height, the more women will care about your height. Besides, there are a lot of women who are your height and smaller.

titospeaks · 2 years

I'm 5'10" and I at times wish I were taller. Now this is purely something inside my head that stems from my early teenage years when I was barely 5 feet tall. And as a prepubescent teenager I always wanted to be at least 6 feet tall. I came close. In most social situations I tend to be slightly taller than average but I always will notice when someone taller walks past me. I used to be fairly athletic when I was in my 20's and my height never put me at a disadvantage. Point is I think everyone has some aspect of themselves that they are a little insecure about.

Did you know how much better you have it when it comes to flying on airplanes? Being six foot on an airplane sucks so bad..

Throwaway account.

I'm in the 30s, and about your height. Never knew that 5'2" is considered short! Never had a problem with it. Helps that around here, 5'2" is averagy, and plenty of people is shorter.

Self-conscious thing, perhaps. When it comes to women, a healthy dose of confidence and energy trumps height anytime. If you think and feel that height matters, you'd probably come of as less confident, and then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy...

MagicTarPitRide · 2 years

Tell us some high school stories... how bad did you have it? Half of the population is shorter than average, a smaller % is your height, but not everyone was too hurt by it. So I'm interested to know, how did you have it worse...details, details
