I realize I am late, buuuut....

The absolute most important thing to remember is that as soon as you decide within yourself that you are in any way incapable of doing something, be it "get a woman" or, well, anything, you probably will not be able to do it. This is a lesson I learned in both live music and even something as small as playing Magic: the Gathering at big tournaments. In both cases, as soon as I decided "oh man, what if I **** up" or "oh man, this guy is good, I can never beat him", I usually ****ed up or lost. I had to conquer that attitude and learn to sit down to play with focus, and with a "Iknow I can ****ing do this" attitude instead. Life is a series of situations where you decide how to react. When your default reaction is "well I guess I suck", das bad. So man, just don't be that way.

Being short does not have any bearing on attraction. SD summed it up, but I'll reiterate: you don't have to "protect" a woman. I defy any man to attempt to harm my fiance, because she will kill them to death. The whole "fairer sex" mustachioed men engaging in fisticuffs to protect the damsel and jolly good tally ho etc. thing is an archaic way of thinking.

So yeah, dude, don't dig that little misery hole and sit in it. You got this, man.

You Braveheart.

But I've been told guys stop growing at 21, and I turn 21 in August. I guess I won't grow anymore.

Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Though, my sister grew an inch at 24-25.

My mom's 5'4-5'5, and my dad's 5'8, so I could have at least been 5'5-5'6.

I'm too proud to wear platform shoes.

My confidence wouldn't be a problem if I were at least a couple of inches taller.

If I were taller, I'd probably have at least a LITTLE bit more confidence.

I'm shorter than you.

Should I not be confident?

i somehow doubt genetics work that way as the vast vast vast majority of my family are over 6 foot by a good degree

leaving me the tyrion lannister of the family.

tbh 5"3 - 4 isnt even that short its not like its dwarfism, and quite honestly look at the people with dwarfism they're normally bosses.

Your obsession with being taller would put women off more than just you being shorter than average.

Irony strikes again!

Actually I'm 6'3" and my height has gotten me riches, fame, and beautiful womenz (and a few men just to be fair). Also I can bat .300, play the guitar, and am able to beat Street Fighter IV against any player, even all the Ken players.

Self-confidence based upon physical attributes isn't self-confidence by definition... because those things can always be changed without your control. Self-confidence is based solely upon who you are because that's the only thing you have absolute conscious control over.
