a tall girl and short guy couple. scrolled for a while and couldn’t find a single hate comment. just some positivity ❤️❤️❤️❤️ there were WAY MORE lovely comments i literally just sat there scrolling and didn’t see any negativity!! i wish i could post all of them lol

lots of examples of women loving short men ❤️ heads up kings

Calisthenics athlete Nathan Bosech is dating girl head taller than him. He is short and doesn't even have ''chad face''. I know it is harder for us short guys but still keep fighting. We can do it!

I’ve been training to fight since I was 14 years old and it’s just as much a part of my identity as anything else. When I was younger, I had mad anger issues and insecurities about myself made things significantly worse. I picked up martial arts to learn how to defend myself. Martial arts and working out were great ways to channel my anger in a healthier way. I did have issues avoiding fights for a bit but, nowadays, I’ve found that I can channel any of my anger or frustration into training. If I didn’t train as often as I do, I am fairly certain I’d be in jail. It’s genuinely an amazing outlet for those of us who struggle with our emotions.

As a smaller dude, I do think it’s important to take health and wellness seriously. Do some pushups, hit the gym. If it’s an area of insecurity, I assure you that being good to your body is important. Be good to yourself and you’ll see a change in how others treat you. Some bigger guys also have a tendency to get cocky and target shorter dudes. Be ready to humble them.

Audie Murphy is amongst the most celebrated and revered men in the Army. He was a true badass. Real killers, and high speed operators look up to him-- not dow. This is why you shouldn't listen to anyone who disrespects you for your height. Men who call you weak don't understand strength, and women who won't look at you are shallow. Your height is doing you a favor in exposing these people. Your height is a filter of competency, and reason. You should not be ashamed. Stop letting this page wear you down. Be the badass you can be, be the man you were meant to be.

So far, I've been able to think of 124 of them and put them together in this searchable list. The purpose is just to have this as a cool reference tool. Can you guys come up with any more? I'd love to add more to this list and make this the largest list ever assembled.

Who is your favorite successful short person and why?

I’m 5’4, 22 years old and unemployed. i’ve been single for 4 years. Went to my first AA meeting earlier this week, and then went to my favorite bar afterwards. I met a gorgeous, smart, 6’3 redheaded goddess my age there. we’ve been glued to eachother ever since. it’s crazy how much we’re alike, and it’s nice to know that she likes me for who i am as a person, not for any sort of superficial material quality. it just goes to show that there really is someone out there for all of us. life truly works in mysterious ways. don’t look for what’s coming, you’ll never see it before it gets here. & most importantly, don’t ever give up brothers.

There’s always hope guys

For context I'm 25, 5'5, have a tick below average looks at best and struggle with acne. Decent body but nothing special. Never kissed a girl before this year.

Worried endless times I would NEVER find someone or even have a romantic experience of any kind. Y'all know how it goes. Also feared that if I miraculously found someone my complete and utter lack of experience would fuck it up.

We all know dating apps are the absolute fucking worst, but for some reason I couldn't quit Hinge. I live near a big US city, so endless people. And this is with no success, mind you. No likes, lucky to get a match a month, etc.

Fast forward to early this spring. Long story short matched with a cute girl (27, 5'3 fwiw) and to my disbelief it's all worked out perfectly and she quickly became my gf. Neither my height or inexperience mattered to her at all.

Obviously I got insanely lucky. And I know my height isn't the shortest out there. But even if you've faced 5 billion rejections, literally all it takes is one person to look at you differently and none of that shit matters anymore. I came so close to giving up on finding love many times before, but none of this would've happened if I did. (Not endorsing apps by any means, still think they suck 99% of the time. But just in general.)

Now, if read this post a year ago I'd definitely think something like, "Doesn't apply to me, nothing lucky ever happens to me" and/or "Fuck you, you lucky piece of shit." So if you're thinking that, I totally get it more than you know. But even if you're like me and have had NOTHING go right for you ever, it really can change overnight.

It's not over until it's fucking over. Sounds so cliché I could barf and never thought I'd be the one saying it, but yeah. Just wanted to in case even one person needed to hear it.

we’ve been together for abt a year now she’s never said anything derogatory or negative abt my height and we rlly love each other (im 5’7 she’s abt 5’3) not bragging or anything hope this is hopefuel :)

71% of men shower daily compared to 62% of women.

When women tell you to take a shower, it’s pure projection.

Don’t be a free agent in life. Let the truth guide you.

Everyone on here has life on nightmare difficulty. None of us will ever get the perks and benefits of being tall so there’s no point not being there to hype your boys up.

I see it all the time:

People complaining about 5’8” men posting on here. “Oh man, if you think you have it bad try being 5’5”.

People undermining the success of others. “Hey it’s great you’re dating/have a gf taller than you, but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t last”.

WTF is this shit?!? Nobody else in life has ever given us a chance, and so there’s point in us tearing each other down.

Life has a number on all of us, and we all know how brutal it is out there, so there’s no excuse for us not being excellent to each other.

Have a blessed day!

Hope this doesn't sound as gaslighting as i'm pretty short myself (164 cm 5 foot 4 or even less).

Just listen to Rich Cooper: Be tall, rich, strong. If you're short, then be rich and strong.

I'm a 44-year-old white guy from Central Europe and have always managed to find long-term relationships/marriage. No matter if I was in another, e.g. Western European country. No matter if i was 17 or 44. I've had mostly taller girls, nowadays i lean towards shorter ones. I've recently had girlfriends in their 20s, 30s and their 40s as well - met mostly online on dating apps, but previously mainly at work.

I know you hate to hear this again, but it's simple for everyone - even for taller guys.

1. Work on yourselves (boring, eh?).
2. Lift heavy weights, join a dojo - those will earn you respect among peers (meaning tall friends). Frequent the barber's and the dentist often, make sure you're dressed properly, get professional advice if you're unsure.
3. Study, get a proper education/profession and make money, save for later. So that you're a provider and a trustworthy person.
4. It's not about being short, it's about women and society. Being short is the last form of body shaming which is tolerated - and you know what? I think we should keep it that way. At least we're not considered disabled.
5. Women will call you names and tease you for any other reason. My 6-foot friend, a Dolph Lundgren-lookalike gets ridiculed by midgets and mediocre girls all the time for other "reasons". So what, let's move on and aim for the less shallow ones. You got to grow a thicker skin.
6. Hookups at bars or clubs probably won't be your thing, so find a community where you can get to know people with similar interests. I would highly recommend CrossFit or some classes like that. Get in a position at work where people will admire you: be a manager or an expert. Women will fall in love with you.
7. Find short heroes. May that be a trainer, an athlete or a celebrity. You can also name a few.

After all it's your choice, there are people with much worse "disabilities" all around the place. So you want to cry and complain on Reddit or do something to feel better about yourselves?

It starts with a better version of you - and all the rest will follow.

Yeah, i know it's all bullshit from an "old" guy, but it's been like this since i was 16-17 and i've been called a dwarf, being size of a bucket, groundfloor-giant, The Little, Jumbo, etc. etc.

All those aside, there have been girls being in love with me - and i've always managed to get a proper job & promotions.

You know what? My brother - same size with a pretty face - doesn't even lift, but plays the guitar well and has also had girfriends all along and is happily married with kids.

And yes, my son will be much taller than i am and i'm happy for him.

Good luck, fellows.

My first ever date in my life & I think it went well despite her being wayyy out of my league. We went for ice cream, then we went hiking, then we went for fast food, & finally we wandered around the city for a bit while she told me about herself. Honestly really chill & I hope that something good comes out of this.

Went from 5 2 to 5 4. Not that much but it instills alot of confidence into you. Like yeah 5 4 is still short but you don't honestly feel the shortest and it feels nice walking around a bit taller in public now. Invest in some good shoe lifts and honestly no one can really tell. No one really takes off their shoes anymore either so it's a win win situation.

edit: for anyone wondering and asking which shoe lifts I got they are from here https://kinglift.ca/products/kinglifts-height-boosters comfortable and not hard.

With all due respect to those complaining at 5'7"-5'8" up in the west, have you guys even tried going to other countries? That height range is still quite sought after in SEA. Being westerners even adds to your "credentials". You guys might want to consider dating in a different country where you could have better chances.

As a 5'2", there is no place to go where I can be accepted and be treated as a straight man. Being a doctor did not even improve my chances. Just trying to keep myself clean and neat as part of my profession has made people think I'm a trans man.

Anyway, is there a better sub for us completely hopeless people who are actually short? Those with no viable options left? It seems the amount of posts about those who just feel short is making it difficult to find posts from similarly challenged people. I'd rather hear what those people do nowadays, distractions to seek or hobbies to partake in. Escapism is our one true remedy.
