This is Peter Dinklage. He is 4'5". He's a successful actor who has appeared in such films Death at a Funeral, Elf, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and will appear in the next X-Men film. He also playsTyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones, arguably the best character on arguably the best show on TV right now. He has won a Satellite Award, a Scream Award, a Golden Globe, and an Emmy and has been nominated for numerous others. He has been married for 8 years and has a daughter.

not once did i say you'd grow anymore stop focusing on your damn height its not that big of a deal jesus christ im putting this in big letters now to get it through to you, the only people who care about stuff like height are those horrible orange umpah-loompah mother****ers who go out drinking every night and then wonder why their parents dont love them
SERIOUSLY, work on finding out whats GOOD about you, not focus on the VERY insignificant negatives. If you're having TRUE problems about this, like this is seriously bringing suicidal thoughts/self harming thoughts perhaps you should see a therapist?
i dont mean to be a dick but seriously dude you're ****ing throwing everyones advice asides being all BUT I'LL NEVER GROW, SO WHAT, YOU'LL BE FINE ONCE YOU WORK PAST THIS.

I said I would never actually go through with killing myself.
One of my previous posts touched on this:
I'm probably coming off as someone who's VERY insecure.
One of my previous posts touched on this:
Maybe I could buy a self-help book to help me get some confidence.Maybe my problem isn't so much that I'm short. Maybe I have an inferiority complex, which is my REAL problem.

I'm 100% I addressed this in the other topic. Nice to see that advice was acknowledged. :sweatdrop:
To echo SD, the fact that you think you need to be taller to protect and 'get' a woman is downright sexist. It implies that women are so shallow as to only be attracted to alpha-males, or society's overwrought descriptions of what successful, handsome men are, AND it implies women are so weak that they NEED protecting (and further, that they need a man for protection). And again, I ALREADY ADDRESSED THIS TOPIC in the other thread - that doesn't matter.
I understand you are insecure. But here's the thing - multiple people have told you doesn't matter. So stop fixating on it. Stop making exaggerated comments. Stop throwing pity parties. DO SOMETHING about it. You say you feel you have an inferiority complex - okay. That's okay; we all come with our baggage. But talk to someone about it (preferably someone who knows you, or who can professionally help you deal with this issue). Seek to act productively, instead of continuing to drag yourself down with negative thoughts and comments about yourself. THAT is far more unattractive to women than being short!
ALSO. You want know how to attract a woman? Listen to them!!! Don't dismiss what they are saying!

Do you have a sense of humor? Are you friendly? Intelligent? Kind? Do you listen? Are you a good storyteller? Do you have any artistic talents? Can you dance? Are you handsome? If not, do you at least have a good sense of style? Is there anyone who might be attracted to the scent of your pheromones? Are you open minded? Do you like to try new things? Are you thoughtful? Charitable? Do you want to do good in this world? Are you a champion? Will you put that woman first? Did you forget to be her lover? Do you want her the right way, but want her to want you too? Are you so sick of love songs, so tired of tears? So done with wishing she was still here? Are you so sick of love songs that are sad and slow, but not sure why you can't turn off the radio? If you just dance will it be okay? Will you stop the music if you are asked not to? Have you brought sexy back? Did you remember the receipt? Are hamburgers the cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast? Would you go down on her in a theater? Do you gee gee gee gee baby baby baby? Will you, will you rock her? Are you just like your father, too bold? Is she just like your mother, never satisfied? Would you die 4 her? Are you not always there when she calls, but always on time? Are you in a one room disco? If you make a night flight will you have a nice ride? Where is pancakes house? Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet? Why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept? Fire, water, air, and dirt, ****ing magnets, how do they work? Who are we? What are we? Where are we going? What is the meaning of life? These are questions Lil' Sebastian never had to answer, because he was a horse. Are you a horse? Are you hung like a horse? Can you see for miles?
If you answered "no" to every single one of these questions, then height is all that matters.

BTW don't ever bring height to a gun fight.

Peter Dinklage? 4'5? I think he should be used as an example to make shorter people feel better for a different reason, not his credentials.
Anyway, I don't mean to be insensitive but are you serious with all of this? I don't know, your posts wording seems strange. Either way, really don't worry about it. You can't really change it, and any tricks to the contrary come off as pathetic. Take comfort in the fact that you are not 4'5, become skilled so you can find work you are hired for because of what you can do and nothing else, and get a shorter woman or one who isn't a condescending bitch focused on height.
Also, IDK what I'm gonna say to any 4'5 members. I guess just find shorter actors.

Honestly....
Alright, my grandfather's friend is only 5'0, and he's been married twice. And like I said, I believe, tres times in the last topic about height you made, stop putting yourself down! Besides, it seems one of the main reasons you hate being "short" is because you'll never get a girlfriend. Chances are you will at a point.
And short guys have some advantages over taller people. Look at Kenny Baker. The guy played R2-D2 in Star Wars. Now he's famous and probably rich. And all the other guys that were posted above. Every one of them have had great lives, and I'm sure, as sappy as this sounds, you will too.

Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Like I said in the other thread, which I may well merge with this one, your world view is being screwed up by public statistics. Statistics are similar data, they're not a stand in for your personal state of being.
Even if no man under 5'8 had ever lived a fulfilling life, it doesn't mean **** to you. Nobody walked on the moon before 1969. The French Aristocracy can only be slaughtered in a revolution once. If you wanted to colonialize the New Continent with the next Dutch immigration, that ship has sailed and I'm afraid you missed it.
If you have any ounce of respect for the people telling you that you are what you make of life, then you will go about asking for help determining what parts aside from your height you have to leverage. My wife has yet to tell me that she married me for my height, and I have yet to experience the moment that would lead me to determine I am inherently worthless without her or whatever job I hold down at the moment.
Nobody's here to help you have a wank about how useless you are, but they are all posting to offer a bit of heave-ho and help you start considering what a bright future can lie ahead of you if only you make up your mind to try.
