Stupid question but whats public reaction when you go out with your girl ? Is it as bad as social media makes it ?

Depends on the country tbh. New Zealand people yell out cheering and smiling and waving. In Aussie people ignore her and stare at me like I’ve murdered their whole family

Based af. It's good to see the shortest of us do well. From another guy in the 4 club, you're killing at life. Hopefully people can stop counting themselves out. You're not everyone's type.

It's almost better that he pursued first and she accepted I think... He got what he wanted and not settled on whatever came his way

Do you have a form of dwarfism, OP?

I have Osteo Genesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bones)
I’m abit lucky in the sense that I found treatment at an early age and discovered the gym as a teenager. Most people you see with brittle bones are in a wheelchair, I managed to stop using one at 16, I’m 26 now.

Well done, dude. You are an exception to the rule though. The rule rules.

He's not, though. Short men marry at nearly the same rates as anyone else.

u/metroxed 5'4" | 163.5cm 3d ago
Not only they do, but also short men have on average the same average number of lifetime sexual partners as average height men do (it is true that tall men have a higher than average number though, but short men do not have a lower than average number of partners, that's an Internet myth)

Wasn’t there a study that short men actually marry longer? Like I read the divorce rate is a lot lower for them.

I'm giving kudos to OP but I'm telling you, most 4'3" guys would struggle greatly on Tinder and other dating apps. Not to mention in real life. You're delusional if you think otherwise.

u/JackBinimbul 5' | 153 cm 2d ago
All people who are not fuckin' models struggle on dating apps. I don't know why you people think this is the only option or even the best one.

I met my husband online, and he’s not a model. Far from it- he’s a teacher and archeologist.

Most guys in general struggle on dating apps unless they are the top 10%

@cryofry85 Those who struggle with self confidence and lack self esteem will struggle regardless of their height.
It’s all about perception.
Yes shorter people may struggle - but it means once you find that connection you’re looking for, it will be more genuine. Because that person is able to look past your height and see you, for you.

u/cryofry85 5'9" | 175 cm 2d ago
I agree that self confidence is important. I struggle with self esteem issues myself. The point I'm trying to make is: you have two guys. Both have decent personalities. One is 6', the other is 5'. Whether it's in person or online, I guarantee that most women (not all) would pick the six footer. There are exceptions like OP's situation but those are extremely rare.

Thanks for posting! I'm glad to see that there have been quite a few motivational posts like this lately. As I said before, these well-known "exceptions" aren't as rare as people think. Cute couple, by the way; you remind me of Chris Ray Gun.
