When short is too short?

5 foot 7 is the absolute limit before you are completely shit on your whole life by men and women.

Alright ready, because I'd love to have your hight. First off, I'm 5'4. So take you're thinking you're short and go shove it. Second, height is only a problem if you make it a problem. I go to the gym and almost every guy there is bigger then me. But it doesn't stop me nor do I care. We're alll there for the same reasons.

Example: most of the guys in my social circle are 5'9+ so yea I'm the smallest. I'm the only one who has to jump to reach the pull-up bar. Idc I gotta get my reps in. I have to jump but yet I can do the most out off all of my friends.

Second ex: was doing dumbbell Rows next to a guy who was at least 6'3 and huge arms. I kept up with him in weight and he gave me a thumbs up and nod of approval like "fuck yeah man, don't let height get in your way."

Also helps if you're funny. Because I can make quick whitted comments and know how to deliver jokes it makes me the center of attention when we go out and girls don't give a shit.

Occasionally il get a shit test once in a while and a girl will ask why I'm so short or how tall etc. i just tell them 5'4, and I can do down on them standing up. It works and they diffuse.

Point being, if you lift, can be funny, dress accordingly, and can grow a beard, you'll be fine. Height is something you can't control so you might as well fix everything else.

Can you people seriously shut the fuck up about how tall you are? I swear to fucking god. There are like 20 of these goddamn threads a fucking week. Nobody gives a fuck, you can't do anything about it, so quit acting like such a goddamn fucking pussy about it and get your fucking balls up and go DO SOMETHING instead of sitting around whining like a bunch of pussy-ass sorry sacks of shit.

Jesus fucking Christ.

NO ONE GIVES A FLYING FUCK IF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IS TOGETHER.

From my experience the single best thing you can do as a shorter man (5'8'' is not terrible btw) is to simply not care about your height. Much easier said than done obviously but self confidence and abundance mentality can make the difference.

5'8 barefoot (which is around 5'9-5'10 with shoes) is just fine. If you live in Scandanavia or any area with a concentration of tall men (6ft+ avg) then it will hurt you. In any normal US town, it is normal...

It's only a problem if you let it be a problem.

Just go for short chicks.

The fact that you get shit test about your height either tells me that you're going for chicks who are your height or taller, or you are extremely obvious about being insecure of your height.

I'm 5'9 and have never been shit tested on being short (by a chick) in my life. Zac Efron is 5'8, Dave Franco is 5'8. They both get mad pussy.

Own your shit. Go for little bitches (5'2 to 5'5) - they're a hell of a lot of fun, because you can throw them around.

Anything less than 6 feet is too short. By that I mean fuck height and stop making too big a deal out of it. You are not 5'2. Wear shoes that are have some higher padding on your heels or something.

Prince was 5'2" and he had no problem pulling. There is a lost of actors under 5'8" tall on imdb that might help boost your confidence. One of my friends that used to be a wing for me was probably the best opener I have ever seen work and the cool thing about being short is you just kind of fly under the radar for opens and girls can initially feel more secure when you open so if you can maintain your frame and dress well you can get far more play as a short guy. Some of the posts in this thread are from taller guys who have to stroke their ego with their height probably because thats a central asset for them.
