OK, I'm short, and I'm worried no girl will want me because I'm short. Help.

Yeah, I saw you mention this earlier in the WoT.

Look man, don't be so self conscious about your height. Don't worry. There are plenty of hot girls that'll take you, no matter your height. You said you were 5'5, right? That's not too bad. Besides, alot of girls are shorter than that.

Other than that, all I can say is chin up, and keep trying to find a girl.

That's still not too bad. I've seen many shorter guys.

5'1, 5'0ish.

But like I said above, just don't put yourself down over it.

I really should stop posting so much on one topic here, but people usually stop growing between 16 and 22, so there's still a chance to grow a few more inches.

inb4 fun sized.

Don't worry about it too much. It's just an outside thing. Alot of what matters isn't outside stuff, it's who you are.

But tall people are more likely to get promoted, and they make more money.

All of these statistics are only going to be problems for you if you buy into them.

Compensate for your smaller than average stature with a larger than average personality.

Honestly, it's something where you really just have to buck up and not think about it. If you assume that no girl will like you because of your height, you'll never be able to get anywhere. You've got to put that **** in the back of your mind.

Good news is you are not too short. Even if you were, there's got to be someone out there for you no matter what. Anyone can find someone.

Bad news is outside of girls and sports and crap, potential employers are biased based on appearance and personality, things like that. For ****-tier jobs, such factors are most important. I have trouble finding work for plenty of reasons, some of what I have mentioned. It is not fair.

Davy Jones was 5'3" & he was one of the biggest heartthrobs of the past century.

Girls are attracted to personality. When you are negative, they sense that. Looks are... really only marginally important. You basically have to just not be totally hideous and never shower or cut your hair or... take care of yourself at all really. If you can sense what a girl wants, you're in the money yo.

I wonder why it is that so many women insist on the man being taller anyway. Is it because they expect the man to be bigger and stronger than them? If that is the case, all someone short has to do is defeat the female in a wrestling match, then that establishes their strength and makes them an acceptable mate.

Don't worry about being short, believe me. I've been short my whole life, i've heard every short joke out there probably, been treated like crap over it, but whatever. Disliking someone just because they ain't tall is like disliking a movie just because it's black and white. Yeah, it might look nicer, but that doesn't mean it's going to be good, it can still fully suck! Your height doesn't determine who you are as a person, only you know who you are. If someone can't look past your height and see you for you, then they ain't worth your time anyway, they ain't even worth your thoughts. That's just some shallow snobby BS. Just because you're short doesn't mean your a punk. I was always the short guy in the neighborhood, everybody was always taller than me, of course I got picked on for it, but they realized I wasn't no punk, they were bigger, and it meant less than nothing to me.

I'm not saying go around and challenge everybody that's bigger than you, i'm just saying to not let it bother you. So you're short, and? If you're some stinky ass, obnoxious, everyone is dumb but you, ain't showered in a month, never brush tioyour teeth, going around smacking everyone for no appearant reason, then you can wonder if people will dislike you or not. You're short, someone on here is tall, someone on here probably smells like a fishes ass, and someone on here thinks Cheeseburgers suck. We're all different people, and we'll all like different things. You won't be the next whoever, you'll always just be you. So focus on being the first you. 1 million people will like you, 10 million will hate you. Take the million that like you, and tell the 10 million that hate you to kiss your butt.
