I'm 5'6 just about, closer to 5'7 with shoes. Growing up I got the odd height comment here or there but mainly from guys. I've been pretty depressed over it for the past few days and what makes it more depressing is that you're almost always the shortest guy in the room. When I read crap about how taller guys only have to put in 10% of the effort that short guys do and that most women disregard them straight off the bat. It hurts because it's not my fault I didn't choose to be a short. I still remember a comment from my brother's friend 'Wow you're small, I thought you'd be taller' I just laughed it off at the time but then reading all these posts about how women feel about short guys gets to you. I think it happens more when I meet someone my brother knows because he's a bit younger than me but he's 5'10 so people expect me to be the same height or taller. I've only started caring about height since a year or two. It makes it sound like manlets can only get get undesirable women. Yet at the same time I don't feel like in a day to day setting I've been discriminated because of it.
I'm 21 so I think I'm done growing. It's more worrying because you can't change height at least not if you don't want some doctor to hammer away at your legs. I still notice that I'm taller than half the women in public but then you have to factor in heels. I don't know what it is tbh it's just that some of the comments on reddit and the misc got to me, its like my brain changes every time I read something like that, like I get a deep sinking feeling. So if I've had a negative experience before I wouldn't attribute it to anything but now having read some stories I'd think it's because of my height somewhere in the back of my mind. I've rarely seen people shorter than me and thought that if I was 5'4 or something I don't know what I'd do, in fact I don't know what to do right now.
Just look at these some these girls who aren't even model material.
