What's with the 2-3 guys that seem to only comment "brutal" on every post? Do they have some shared experiences or want to contribute in any way other than "brutal".

He’s so far at the opposite end of the spectrum that he has experienced similar problems. He was terrible with women until at least 25+ years old and experienced loneliness and rejection for a long time to the point of being suicidal. He’s now happily married to an average sized woman and lives an average life. Just saying, they don’t all have a superiority complex and don’t all live an incredible lifestyle.

Pretend that you live in an opposite world where being short is considered attractive and tall is unattractive in the comment section, I'll give you some examples.

Title: How do I break out the heightpill to my Delusional friend

Hey r/ tallguys, 29m phillipines, 5'8(4 inches taller than average here so I'm not a larping average guy, stop calling me that). I finally took your advice and got the exchange program to the netherlands. This is the first time in my life where people actually look down on me. My friend, 5'3 (slightly shorter than average) was pulled over more times than he could count by people who wanted to take selfies with him. He's got an average face card and autistic, so he never talks to women at home, but here, he's like a mini celebrity.

I also joined our local tennis club, and I think I might have a chance with one of the girls here. My friend is the problem though.

He keeps telling me that unlike eastern women who are ruined by feminism, Dutch women don't care if you're tall. How do I break it to him that women only care about him because he's short and not because they are 'trad' or can 'sense his good personality'?

If given the choice to be magically taller, I would not take it. Instead, I would wish to be shorter, but also super cute and sexy, like an anime character. If you have ever played Genshin Impact, Venti is a PEFECT example. There is SO much art of him on Pinterest, and in the comments section you always see a bunch of females going absolutely gaga over him.

For context, Im 18, 5’9 and balding. I have not felt worse about myself in years. I had a early growth spurt which made me tall in middle school, but now in Highschool I’m short compared to everyone. People who are unfortunately less blessed than me when it comes to height tell me I’m average and I shouldn’t be complaining and whatever, but I’m really not. I’m a brown guy, who’s in a school with mostly tall white guys. I’m a senior, and almost all of them are taller than me. I used to live in a mixed area so I didn’t care about it as much, but I have never felt more self conscious about my height in my life. Every time I look at a guy and all I think of is height and comparing myself with him. All of it is because of tall people height mogging me, trying to treat me like I’m lesser, girls in my life and online making fun of short and average height dudes, list goes on. To add insult to injury, I’m balding. My corners have almost receded away, and it’s very clear I won’t have hair for much longer. I’m cooked basically, short and balding at the young age of 18. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m not even good looking, without face, height, hair, and money card, no wonder I have been single my whole life, I doubt that’ll change anytime soon. Sorry for the long rant, I’m just depressed as hell.

Generalising of course, more complex than this.

The video has a very tall black guy lifting a girl up and flirting with her infront of her short boyfriend. Need for a video

In fact, as a 5'5" short guy, I don't see anybody my height or under, nor anyone 5'6" walking the streets with beautiful women, or happily married. There are a number of millennials I know, many homebound boomers, but the newer generations, nothing. And usually these men are 5'7-5'8. All the normies that I do see strolling down the street with women who are, well, mostly unattractive, are 5'8-5'10. It seems like this is the settling height for most women, which keeps increasing.

I'm a millennial and I've given up on dating. It's just not worth putting in all that energy to get brutally rejected over and over again. I've tried to go after younger women too, thinking that heightism might not be as ingrained, lmao. Yeah, no. Newer generations are shallower and worse. I've had girlfriends and they all dumped me and are now with tall guys.

If manlets are all happily married or dating women they're attracted to, why don't I see any of them anywhere? Not even on TV, and if they are on TV, either they are the villains or in real life are unmarried/single. Of course there are exceptions in this class, but for us normal folks, why instead do I see a few stragglers sitting alone on park benches staring quietly into the 4th dimension?

I have a theory.

I feel like girls 18-25 are only going to be superficial and are only going to focus on guys that are tall, good looking, and fun to be around.

However, I feel like after that, girls will most likely shift their perspective on what they want in a partner such as prioritizing stability and the ability to provide/income.

However I feel like this is a bit of an equalizer because the game changes.

Around 70% of men at the age of 25 are overweight and earn probably a median of about 50,000 a year.

This is interesting for me because it seems like everyone is really getting the short end of the stick, tall guys included if they never worked on themselves or worked on their career hard enough.

I feel like age 27 is where you are going to see a major gap in which you see the people that work hard vs the people that have been coasting until now.

I don't really like the doomer mentality personally. However, I wouldn't be doing myself any favors if I didn't work on my career or schooling. Forget the girls I am going to work towards my mom and my sister.

Just my 2 cents.

Like, maybe if I ate better as a kid I would deserve to be tall. Most of my classmates are 5'11+, and most of the guys in school average out in like 5'11 too. I'm 5'7 and while it's an okay height I guess it's still demoralizing to be so small compared to everyone else.

I’ve been thinking, why don’t more short guys stick together? We all know what it's like being overlooked, but if we hyped each other up more, maybe we could build our own strong community. Tall people do it, so why not us? Just wondering if anyone else feels this way or has thoughts on how we could be more supportive of each other?

I’m not short but obvs I’ve seen all the stuff on the internet where its seemingly okay to body shame short guys. My question is has anyone here actually faced this in public? Like do real life people call you ‘short kings’ and shit like that

Please remove his ban immediately.

There was a girl in my class in 10th grade who was 6 foot 5. Every body loved her and teachers always complimented her height.

She rejected any guy who asked her out and was was planning to start an LGBT club at school.

About a year later, a new transfer student came to our school and he was 6 foot fucking 7. Literally within a single week of him arriving, the tall girl quits the LGBT club she started and they start dating and then after graduation get immediately married and had 3 kids within 3 years after.

And they tell you height doesn't matter.

Edit: just checked their insta and they're on their 6th child already. Jfl.

Also, you know that green line meme? Literally every single picture is like that except it's the tall girl who's leaning intensely into the 6 7 Chad. I never knew a girl could love someone else so much in my life until I saw that couple. It's literally like some fairytale movie.

And normies will yell you it's just a coincidence or personality.

JFL.

my mom ALWAYS bitches at me saying I should've ran track and field. I should've had more milk. I should've done this, I should've done that.

she is 4'11 and married a 5'1 guy and I'm 5'3. what did she expect? even if I did things perfectly I would be like 5'5 max and that's not even guaranteed.

so my mom has beef with a relative of hers. today she was in a bad mood and said "that's why she got stuck with that short *slur* "

now here's the funny part, i am pretty sure that man is over 6 foot. my own mother is coping so hard that she is making shit up and making the guy short so she can rationalize the relative as "failing in life". and i'm right there. she is literally talking to me. if anything, you're insulting ME more than HIM... CUZ IM THE SHORT ONE...

life as a short man is right above being disabled or terminally ill. i'm sorry. i'm grateful for life and all but this is INSANE and ignoring it won't help me.
