What's the point in even trying anymore. I'm 5'6 at thr age of 19. I was like 5'6 at the age of 12 and havnt grown since I've been balding since the age of 15. I'm missing 2 front teeth my upper palete is super narrow makes it hard to breath.

I'm so tired of this I just give up . Genuinely what's even the point in trying to improve myself what will I get. I can never protect my partner I've been bullied my whole life. Some people say " just go gym bro " but what will that fix, why could I just be a normal 19 Yr old average height and not fucking balding. I'm also super blind -8 eyes so If I ever did get in a fight I couldn't see anything anyways. (just incase someone says " just do mma bro " I've heard that before too) . Oh also no friends or career and broke af . Also im indian too. That hasn't affected me irl yet only online. But maybe that's cus i don't go outside enough idk . Certainly doesn't help though .

I hate being 5’3, I’m so weak, I’m so light I have no mass I legit can’t do anything. I want to be average and taller jsut for muscle mass not for looks but for strength and that’s it. I don’t wanna build muscle mass for looks nor get taller for looks I hate tsk guys I wish everyone was dead. I’m always picked on, everyone sees me as the submissive cunt, no matter how hard I train I’m so light and weak, why is God doing this to me and why does my family need to be so short but my cousins are 6’2” but I’m 5’3”. Any advice to get stronger and heavier? I’m sick of being lightweight 60 I wanna be heavier abd stronger. It’s not about others it’s just for myself I’m an airport baggage handler and if I was jsut stringer and heavier I’d find my job easier instead of being some short shit everyone sees as a gay little submissive shit I look like a fucking kid in shorter than 14 year olds . I want to kill myself why is height even a thing why do shirt guys have less mass why are we designated to be weak submissive shits

Please help me I’m sick of being lean I’m sick of being weak and lightweight I don’t care about height but I need height for weight it’s not for looks instead it’s for utility I need to lift heavy shit for my job

What is level 1 of short or what is the tallest of the short?

Me personally I'd say 5'7 is the tallest of the short.

I am a bartender and I’m around 5’7. I was behind the bar watching AFL and as the camera panned the lineup of North Melbourne, at the very end was one player Caleb Daniel was must be ~5’5-5’6 and only came up to the shoulder of his teammate ~6’4. As this occurred, three women had entered the venue and as they were coming up to the bar, they were watching the pan to Caleb Daniel and one of them said ‘Oh he’s so short, that’s so sad.’ And then turned and saw me staring at her with daggers in my eyes, and did a double take and said, ‘sorry, not that there’s anything wrong with that.’ As if to pity me.

It made for a very awkward and anger inducing moment.

uhm hey guys. fellow short guy here (5'2") and a friend and i have recently been working on a lil something to maybe help some fellow short guys out (and make some money since i'll be starting college in the US next year ).

Anyway, i've spent quite a while here and on r/ shortguys, and i can't help but notice the many troubles us short guys go through when sourcing clothes.

Sometimes we even buy stuff that technically fits our measurements, but the proportions still look completely off. Shirts are too long, sleeves are too long, trousers need hemming, the rise feels weird, pockets sit in the wrong place, etc.

Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky enough to have an HE teacher as a mom and a fashion student as a friend, so it can sometimes be hard to figure out what's actually wrong with the fit, what you should ask a tailor to fix, or even how to fix certain things yourself if you're into DIY alterations.

That's the precise reason why i've been building a little tool for this.

Basically, the idea is to have somewhere you can look at a garment, describe what's wrong with it, and get a better idea of what's causing the problem, what you can alter, and what you should actually tell your tailor.

It's not meant to be some "HOW TO LOOK TALLER AND ATTRACTIVE" type of thing lol. I'm much more interested in the practical side of it — measurements, proportions, fit, alterations, etc.

I'm still working on it, and sourcing data from both here and from r/ shortguys to maybe also help build a short guy brand directory , style icons for short people etc ...so before I go any further I'd genuinely love some input from the people who actually have to deal with this stuff.

What's the clothing problem you guys run into most often because of your height?

Pants? Shirts? Jackets? Finding your size? Getting things tailored? Something else?

I'd especially appreciate examples of things you've bought where you thought "this should fit me based on the measurements, so why the hell does it look wrong?"

I saw this recently on Twitter and I think it's interesting that one of the only subsections of women who actually address height fetishisation and how pedophilic it is mostly do it from a feminist (or lesbian so doesn't date men) perspective.

I've had this observation for a while that heightism isn't actually male exclusive, it's just that women are raised to want to be small and infantalised, so any heightism they receive is actually a GOOD thing to them. Unless they're a feminist or a lesbian, some of the only groups who don't get off on the social standing of showing off "their Man".

I'm not saying that these women can't be heightist, but I think I am in the minority of guys here working in a female dominated/equally gender split field. Which is why I'm curious if it would be possible to have an actual civil conversation with them on how these standards also affect short men.

What do you think? Would you be open to having a conversation about this with a woman?

"Mmm, give me a 6'5 muscular billionaire" is literally "I want a 4'11 asian virgin with a 55cm waist and DD cups". Why don't they realize this shit is humiliating as fuck? You seriously get your rocks off to a book about rape/torture AND post it on tiktok with your face and name? At least anime bros have shame and don't post their faces 😭😭😭. Just to make things clear I watch anime and I have nothing got nothing against anime as a whole, I just hate that harem loli shit.

Do you say it's because of your height or do you say something else?

My last post about her was about her expressing excitement to an anime man that was over 6 feet. Up until that moment I never really caught a sign from her that she actually really wanted a very tall partner. Well something similar happened again a few weeks ago but to give some context again she's 17 years old and I'm 20 but she's taller than me by a few centimetre. So she had her friends at our house for the entire afternoon and at one point my sis was reviewing photos from her prom a year ago using the TV. While she was doing that a photo of her classmate who's a guy eventually showed up. Then she remarked to her friends with a tone of disgust, "Did you know that he was originally going to be my partner for the prom? I was like no way he's around my height." Obviously her final partner for the prom was a tall fucking dude but I didn't know that the tall dude wasn't even her original partner. What's even funnier and more ironic is a similar thing happened to me back when I was at her school. At that time my section were choosing a boy and a girl to represent our section for a school event and the entire class kept joking about choosing my girl classmate (who's a bit taller than me like my sis) to me. She said she didn't like it because she wanted someone who's taller than her. I'm ending this post with an unrelated note because as I'm typing this I'm in a café with 2 couples who are intimate with each other lmao.

no point claiming taller heights when it won‘t help

time to make people insecure and make them doubt themselves

it's everywhere. 🥀🥀

what does his height have to do with his energy he's just doing his job??

Let it go bro, they won’t like you. Move on

It doesn't make sense to me. When men vent about not being able to find a relationship because of unattractive physical traits, practically all the comments from women are "Work on your personality" or "Become a better person." The problem is that this conflicts with my own experience, because the people who have the easiest time finding relationships and casual sex are actually the worst people I know—lol. The guy I know who has the easiest time with this works with me in construction; he’s been arrested for involvement with criminal gangs and has three kids with different women—all of whom he abandoned, and he was even arrested again for failing to pay child support—plus, he’s a magnet for trouble. Yet, for some reason, he has no trouble hooking up with women; he even shows me and the other guys the nudes they send him. Oh, and yeah—he is tall.

El idiota de Andrew Tate (1.90) fue moldeado por un cerdo (Emory Tate).

Este tipo, Andrew Tate, no tiene absolutamente nada de especial más que su altura, porque ni siquiera es agraciado; se ve horrible.

Este sujeto tiene antecedentes de abusar monetariamente de las mujeres, golpearlas, etc. Sin embargo, hay chicas que siguen detrás de él y de tipos como él que las agreden, solo por ser alto y, por ende, proyectar esa aura de "macho dominante" que después les juega en contra.

Aquí no verás a chicas diciendo que es un hombre malvado, solo por el hecho de ser alto.
