I've heard the same thing from a few co workers, but I'm pretty sure you 6' people wanting to be a few inches taller is a slight want, something insignificant that it doesn't bother you totally. You're a 1/3 of a foot taller then me.. My reach isn't so bad for my height, I want to say 76 inches, I actually don't remember. |

You aren't even that short, OP. Not even for a man. I'm 5'9", a woman, and have dated plenty of men shorter than me in the past! and PS OP, if someone dismisses you because you don't meet their height criteria, I'd say they aren't worth knowing anyway! I had several men tell me point blank they would never date me because I'm too tall and I just laugh and thank them for letting me know early that I would have been wasting my time in their company ;) |

Face to face, toe to toe, MmmHmm. Much more romantic and spiritual. That being said, unless you're a midget I wouldnt worry about it. Charles Bronson was one of the toughest and sexiest guys around in his day - even the young girls were hot for him - and he was 5'7" in lifts. Look at Tom Cruise (whom I abhor but not because of his height) who literally OWNED the market until recently. He's what, 5'6" or less. Work out, and build up - squatty muscle men are cute! Wear a Stetson - short cowboys are cute! Start cycling and wear bike shorts - short bikers are cute! Get a Harley & Ride - short Bikers are cute! Get a job in construction - short construction workers are cute! Oh wait. You already did that. My son in law is 5'5" or 5'6" and one of my favorite people. Had a bf when I was young who was about 5'7" (Im almost 5'7")and he coulda had me for life if he had been an honest man. He regretted it later, but it was too late. I always wanted bigger boobs. Mine are fine, not saggy thank goodness! but yeah, I wanted bigguns. I can afford implants but nah, not for me. I respect being real, even if that means not being 'perfect' - and I bet you feel the same, deep down. Size doesnt make the man, man. I mean that. I know more than one 6'+ man who is emotionally stunted...I wouldnt take them to raise even if I were childless! Haha! You're good, just like you are. |

It's just not natural to think in 2,54cm. You're all sick. And the "kid" is far from innocent. If you believe that, you're supremely naive regarding females. She did it for the purpose of emotionally attacking you for the pleasure of cruelty. And at your age you should have already been psychologically prepared for that. It was just a matter of time until someone used it against you. How arrogant of you to walk arround with your guard down and then have the nerves to complain about the inevitable outcome. Regarding your height. I'm 6,2, or 1,90m as a normal person would say. And whenever i meet with smaller men, they radiate a strong vibe of insecurity and envy. Like they would mentally yell at me 'You think you're better than me, because you're tall, asshole!?' And their bodylanguage gets really uhm, excessively defined..they shove their head back, like i would be 100m tall. Don't know if thats passive-agressiveness or blameing me. And then they notice that their behaviour makes me uncomfortable, and they interpret it as confirmation of their paranoia, and that drills them even deeper into their complex. You get the point. It's all in your head man. I mean, yes i look at other guys and check them for combat-outcome, what i would do if i had to defend/kill against him. That's an impulse of the instinct, and can't be turned off. But everything that goes beyond that, is due to programming. Deprogramm yourself. And meditate about the right reaction when another mean little bitch tries to emotionally destroy you. I would have answered, that no matter my size, i still cold force her to do whatever i wanted. In a calm voice but not smiling. That puts her in her place, without making you seem defensive. |

When I was about to kiss my gf goodbye, the teen girl came out of no where, sees me with me with lugs boots on that add another inch and says, " wow you are really short" Quoting: shorty 1020585 "All the guys I know are much taller, like this tall, " waving her hand back and forth at a height that makes my eyes and whole head shift upwards. My self esteem went down the drain. Boom. Young kid does if again. Innocent girl telling the truth and speaking her mind, can't blame her. I told her, while mumbling, that I agreed with her.. I then kissed my woman and left a new man. I'm 5'8 on a good day, 180 pounds. My height has always bugged me, and is pretty much the only thing I whine about sometimes, which I guess is a good thing if that's all I have to worry about, really. I'm I'm construction, people who are 6' + seem to have it easier. Where I need the first step of a ladder, they can reach by standing. Taller people seem stronger by natural cause, from working. When I'm doing a similar task to a taller person, they look like they're struggledng less. It also sucks to be my size, altough I have nice skin, facial structure, and very fit, woman so not approach me, not even to ask for the time or a bus scedual because if they do they probally worry I will strike the conversation, but they don't want to Easter thier time with shorty. Well, there's a tale for you, if you have inspiring modivational, pick me up sayings about god making my ass closer to the ground, please fill me in, I need a booster. If you think I'm a fool, with low self esteem because of other various reasons, one being that I'm just mentially unstable and sensitivw, then call me put and 1 star and flame this thread. She seems an extremely rude person. Never let other peoples opinions of you get you down, especially if they are rude, demeaning and or callous. Just try to be a nice person |

But think about it, you are feeling bad about something you can't change. If I was angry because the sun is yellow/white everyday the anger would only affect me and poison my days, with the sun still being the same. Don't focus on your height, focus on getting rid of this "getting down". |

Quoting: shorty 1020585 I very much doubt that there is any reason for you to feel this way other than you want to. Those co-workers that 'look' like they're struggling less - do you think this way due to a perceived lesser amount of effort on their part or a self-perceived notion that you must put in more effort because of your height? Whenever you have to crawl through a tight space or duck underneath something, do you ever think to yourself how much easier you have these things than the taller guys? Do you ever stop to think that others have self-esteem issues when they see you performing tasks that are not as well suited to someone of a taller stature? |

That's nothing guy. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 38087118 Imagine how a jockey or dwarf feels!! We don't have much of a say what kind of shell we get stuck in. It could be much worse mate. Two elemntary school teachers, both well groomed and sophisticated ladies, were taking their 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders for a field trip before the summer vacation started. They chose Church Hill Downs because the kids wanted to see the throughbred horses. The teachers were aware that bourbon was weaved through the industry in many facets, but figured they could explain to the students the bad side of alcohol. It would be a kool-aid day for them all. Everything went well and the kids were about to get on the school bus for the return trip to the school yard. As previously agreed between the two lady teachers they would split the class up between boys and girls and each would take their kids to the bathroom before getting on the bus. After a short minute one of the little boys came out of the bathroom holding himself (you know what I mean). He explained to the teacher that the urinals were too high for some of the boys to use. With true grit the teacher follows the tike into the bathroom. She politely lined up those who had not been able to pee. One by one she held their pee-wee so that they wouldn't pee on their britches. On the last one she couldn't help but notice this guy was so much more endowed than any of the rest of the boy's. She caught herself staring in amazment at the "you know what" of the last one in line. As she realized what she was doing she promply asked the last one if he happened to be one of the 5th graders. "No Ma'm. That was me who just finished 2nd on Silver Streak on the last race, but thank you for being the fan that you are". I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder.
