Buddy, you have some real serious issues. And let me tell you this: 5'9 is NOT short for a guy. You know how many short women that would love your height? Yes, it's fair if that is not what the girl is attracted to and her preference. But if she is very much interested in your I'm sure she will give you a chance at dating and getting to know. But you want to put the emphasis on virginity then stop it! What does you losing your virginity has anything to do with you getting a girl to date? You're only 16 years old. You have more than enough time to grow and age up if you haven't gotten to your adult height already. And you have plenty of time to date. Most girls at that age bracket passed college years are often shallow. But know that 'ugly' and 'fat' girls are twice as likely to get dates and marriage because they accept the fact that not everybody is going to accept and appreciate them, except for those who truly love them. However, with you complaining about your height other girls can see the insecurity. Come on! My dad is only 5'3 and he had over 40 women in his youth. And was married to my late mother for 24 years. It's not your height, it's your attitude about it. Fix it. Because you can't fix your height.
It's not really fair but that's the way things work sometimes. Dating and attraction is always discriminatory to some people, it sucks, but it just kinda is. I think that rejecting for height is okay, I would reject someone over 6'1 after all, seeing as I'm 5'2 and already struggle with my 6'0 boyfriend :P I think that not wanting to be stood on my tiptoes constantly for the rest of my life is okay. At the same time, I enjoy being at least a little shorter, so I'd probably reject someone who was under 5'4, male or female. You gotta accept though that you can't really be mad at people for rejecting you for superficial reasons when you'd do the same thing to them, obviously. And being tall is not the reason other guys get girlfriends, they still need to have other good qualities.
I'll start out by saying that I love short guys, and I'm about your height. I wouldn't even consider below 5' 8" short. I'm in college, and there are guys who who about half a foot shorter than me freshman year who now tower over me at over six feet. Guys don't stop growing until about 25. There is plenty of time for you.
But, on another note, sixteen isn't a good age to lose your virginity. You're young, you don't know what you want in life, and you aren't yet emotionally mature if you think height/appearance is all it takes to have sex.
It's not fair cause it's something that is not in your control... It's like rejecting a girl for having short boobs but then again if a girl likes a tall guy (6 feet and above) and not a above average one then what can you do about it? 5'9 is not short in my country it's above average... I am 5'7 myself... I Also envy tall guys sometimes cause they have it easy with girls mostly and can Also look more manly...
Go for short girls cause they might not reject you...
Tall guys can't get any girl they want, they still have to be attractive to the girl in question. Height on its own is nothing, you still need looks or personality or both. You are setting some imaginary limit on yourself then resigning yourself to the fact that you can't achieve anything. That's just defeatist. Your height is no limit whatsoever. I've know more guys your height do well with women than tall guys if I'm honest.

People do have their preferences. No guy has ever been interested in me because my face is ugly. I think it's fair though. A guy shouldn't have to date me if he isn't attracted to me. Some girls might not be attracted to a shorter guy. Although I don't really find 5'9 to be all that short. I'm 5'4 and the guy I like is probably about an inch taller than me.
I've been rejected because of my skin color and because I have a huge nose. It's not fair to us because we can't change that (my nose if I had surgery really) but everyone is entitled to their preferences. It sucks so you just have to find someone who likes you and you both aren't settling.
I dont think it fair at all. I am also a short person so I can see where your coming from. Height is nothing but a number. Dont worry im sure yo'ull find someone to accept your height because I dont think 5"9 is that short. I've seen shorter!
5'9 is not short tho. There are plenty of women that are perfectly fine with dating someone that height. People have preferences. If you don't happen to fit theirs, then move on to someone who actually does like you.
It sucks, but it is fair. That being said, you're not short, you're barely under average height. You're still tall enough that most women wouldn't care about your height.
People are free to have preferences yeah. I think sometimes if your preferences are too narrow they can prevent you from meeting someone awesome though.
It's not fair... but it can happen. Free will and all...
But it might also be karma... what you put out there gets back to you...
change the fucking tone lol
you just have no game
I think it's fair, not everyone's attracted to guys (or girls) your height. But if you find someone that loves you, height won't really matter.
Life is not fair but that does not mean you can't be very happy anyway
It is someone's preference. There are women out there that dont care about height. I was married to man who was 5ft7
To say it's not fair is placing your desire to be with them over their autonomy. You may not like it, and it may be superficial, but they have a right to reject any guy for any reason.
I wouldn't say fair, but taller guys are usually more attractive to girls. everyone has their own preferences though.
Sure, people can like you are hate you for whatever reason they want to. A relationship forms when both parties agree and have enough commonality.
You can change your looks with makeup, hairstyle, etc. However, you can never change the height you were given. Therefore, it's unfair.
You have low self-esteem and you're very insecure. Good luck with accepting negativity.
Dude, you aren't short. Where do you live? The average in the US for a guy is 5 10. Why does an inch matter?
yeah fair
Lol what a troll
It's fair.
