Life as a short man

TLDR_ItsOver · 2023-07-20T09:32:09+00:00

The dilemma with being a short guy is that you're disliked by 99 percent of women, combined with the treatment most of us constantly get, we have shitty personalities and 0 confidence. Since asking out women is basically social suicide for us, we can't even date the 1 percent of women who DO like us

TLDR it's over

Repulsive to women. Bullied by other men. It never began for Short Kings™.

Short men are a caste of their own

A caste that unfortunately is at the bottom becausw of the way one gets treated as a short man. Similiar to the Dalits in India.

How tall are you?

People who claim "it's not your height" have no idea what being different feels like. A tale as old as time.

Lots of features are viewed as genetically inferior. Being dumb for instance. Hence why smart, high achieving (not even high earning) people are attractive.

Glad I'm not one of these sub-humans

Such hyperbole

Not this height crap again. Bro it’s not your height, it’s your personality.

Jesus. Me, my friends, my fraternity brothers, many of my coworkers are 5’6-5’7 and most of us do very well with women + society treats us just fine.

I’ve never been given a single indication that I’m viewed as genetically inferior, and not only do people respect my opinion but there actually interested in it.

If you’re weak, it’s YOUR fault. I’ve been doing combat sports since I was a kid and I do push-ups and sit-ups every day- not because I have something to prove but because I enjoy having a desirable body and feeling good about myself. And I promise you that no one tries to humiliate me or the guys I’m around who are the same height.

We put in the same amount of effort as everyone else to get through life. I lost my virginity in my teens to a girl that was a year older than me. She’s the one who hit on me and sought me out when she could have hooked up with guys who were much taller than me. And like I said, most of my friends, my fraternity brothers, my coworkers who are the same height as me do very well with women, so it’s not like I’m the exception.

It’s not your height, it’s your personality.

going outside might help

I know several short guys that do well. My 5'9 brother is married to a six-figure earning wife. I know a 5'6 guy that married a smoke show. But, they aren't internet woe is me manlets.

Gonna go out on a limb and say it's not your height but your personality.

Physically weak

You can be strong even if you're short though if you go the gym

Your life isn't over. But for sure, you are playing on hard mode if you are close to 5 feet tall.

You have job prospects that are probably as bad as other stigmatized groups. The effect of height on which resume is picked is concerning:

Height affects your life in many ways. See the data section (beginning on page 9) in the following connecticut law review article:

And, yea, there is a non-trivial number of women that hate you even before they meet you. That's not preference. It's something else.
