To all my shorties out there: what are the common obstacles you face daily with people and the world?

[Pinay_ako]

I hate when people use me as a resting table 😡

How about you?

Dear Tall people, please be kind. We are people too.
Would you date shorties?
why/why not?

[MCheetah]

Mainly just people (especially women) sh*tting on me for my height. Which is why I'm not as nice as I used to be. What's worse is when my fellow shorties don't stick by me because they're like 5'2" or something and think being slightly less shorter than them is some kind of advantage.

And what REALLY pisses me off, are the people blessed with height saying sh*t like "I wish I was more like you." NO YOU F*CKING DON'T! Women 6'2" and guys like 6'7" and all, wanting to be sh*t-tier like me and the size of a f*cking woman.

Literally, the worst of both worlds. Short, but not short enough to get sympathy from it. In that useless male tier of 5'8" to 5'11". Utterly sh*t, no matter what. Really short people can be quick, agile, and live much longer. Tall people get respect, power, intimidation, easy success, and live life on easy mode, even if they die seven years earlier. What do the somewhat short get? Literally f*cking nothing. All the negatives that come with being short, and literally zero positives.

Losers don't get it. People with no ambition or self-worth don't get it. So you have the most useless NPC's and losers in society who don't understand why I don't like being seen as small and weak by everyone, and I lose the patience to explain it to them. A FEW men like being small and weak and "seen as the underdog." Not me, though. I should be six inches taller than I am, but Precocious Puberty f*cked up my life. That's why I'm not 6'5"/195 cm.

I could rant all day about why I hate being short, even if it's only "slightly/somewhat short" (I don't f*cking care), but I said before it's best not to talk about my insecurities so much, especially my most HATED one and only major one I have. So I'll end it here by just saying if I was six inches taller, I'd be a much, much happier person. But as of right now, being "somewhat short," I'm literally never happy AND will die alone all because of it.

But that's life. That's the obstacles I face with being an inferior human male. I compartmentalize it and pretend like it doesn't bother me as much as it does.

[malwins]

Why do u consider 6ft being short though

[silkjames]

One time I went out with a tall chick I swear she picked me up and throw me in bed I was thinking did she just pick me up I was stunned lol... from there on I always told myself Shorty's for now on lol jk!

[Pinay_ako]

Omg 😂

[Shamalien]

HAHAHAH gorilla rape lol

[Marniboo]

Hahaha

[Apulu_Imback]

I don’t think I'm short. I'm of 5'5 near 5'6. Average to tall range. My crush is super tall as well, he is 6'3 at the age of 15 lol. I have this short friend of mine who comes below my shoulder level. She is a bit chubby (not the kind that you can notice, I mean she is normal but she got a bit squishy tummy) and walks like a kid lol. If not for her teenage acnes you won't be able to distinguish her from a 6th grader! She is shorter than my younger sister too! Leave that there is this 10th grader whose height is like a toddler and she looks like one with smooth non acne face and rosy chubby cheeks. They are so cute!!

[Zolly99999]

@apulu_imback well said. .

[nona776]

I don't care what people say because I'm confident

[Zolly99999]

@nona776 Ata girl 😁

[Chikky]

"You look tall in your pictures, what happened? 😆😆😆

My dear, God happened

[ManOnFire]

I'm 5' 11" and dated a short woman before. No obstacles for me, but it did get kind of annoying having her ask you to reach something for her all the time lol.

[bigpauly]

Ugh how much time you got?

The short jokes are never ending. I don’t mind if they are just in fun though.

Being as small as I am, I am often the one who is small even to the small people. So other “short” people will say things like

“I’ve never met anyone shorter than me”

and they get all excited they have someone they can pick on for once 😒😂

or I will catch strangers comparing their height to mine

Since I’m short and small in general, people also seem to have the urge to pick me up. Sometimes it’s ok, other times it’s not. Strangers at parties with alcohol seem to have no boundaries.

[Pinay_ako]

You’re not alone. Army remember 💕

[bigpauly]

Yea, shorties need to stick together ✊

[bigpauly]

And no, that’s not the actual size of my fist 🙄🤣

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 don’t mess with the shorty army. They’ll kill you with kindness and cuteness 🥰 my fist is like a baby’s. It’s small but strong! Have you tried to get a baby to open those fists of doom? 😜

[bigpauly]

Lmao you always have good points. I appreciate your support and silly but positive outlook.

[Pinay_ako]

Can’t be sad all the time. 🥰 and thanks 😊

[bigpauly]

Completely agreed. I think I have a much more positive outlook than I once did. I feel it separates me from others in many ways and I enjoy all the opportunities to make short jokes about myself lol

And yes you’re welcome. You’re awesome

[Pinay_ako]

You are too lots of hugs coming your way

[spartan55]

@bigpauly
Sounds like Yosemite Sam needs to make some more appearances.

[bigpauly]

@Pinay_ako aww yay I love hugs

@spartan55 I’ll try lol

[Lliam]

Shorties are my favorite. 5'4" is the average height of American women, and 5'3" is the global average. I'm 6'2 but really love girls who are 5'2" or shorter. No problem with super short. Although my wife is 5'5", so that's perfectly fine, too.

I love what you said. "The height of a child and the body of a woman." That's bad ass.

Short girls are soooo cute. Sex with them can be super fun. They are easy to lift. And, aside from sex, I like being admired for my ability to reach things that are high up, open jar lids, carry heavy loads, repair and build things. A girl who thinks I am big and strong makes me feel big and strong. LOL

[WindAtMyBack]

I never thought of it as a negative. I didn't even know there was supposed to be anything wrong with it until I was in my 20s. By then I knew it wasn't true.

I don't think in terms of obstacles. If I can't reach something on the top shelf, so what? There's always a chair to stand on.

I can do the vast majority of the things a taller guy can do, plus a lot of things they can't do. Overall I can probably do more than a taller guy could.

There is zero part of me that want's to be taller. That's not who I am. There are things I don't like about myself, but height isn't one of them.

[Ευδεμονια]

Oh here’s a brief list of difficulties:
- reaching high scaffoldings at home or at shops;
- cleaning the top of windows or mirrors;
- adjusting the seat on the car assuring the right visual and, contemporarily, reaching the pedals;
- cleaving the crowd in a crowded situation;
- sitting at movie theatre with tall people in the front seat;
- reaching bus or metro handles to avoid falling during sudden braking;
- seeing a gig from a parterre;
- having a chair that assures you sitting comfortably at a table and contemporarily having your feet on the ground;
- etc, etc…

[bigpauly]

It drives me crazy when tall people use the pole in the middle on busses when I can’t reach the handle up top! I know you see me down here

[DannyUk2017]

I'm 5'10 and still consider myself short... when i see a woman taller than 6'... OMG! Makes me feel anxious.. but hey this is life..."take it or leave it"
When i see women shorter than me like 4' something, OMG!!! Soo cute! I would like to have them all, but again this is life... as i had one time a shortie/pettite but because she was having too much of (none self esteem) didn't work.
I was trying to make her understand its perfect!, its ok, its natural... but to no avail... so i just stoped! I couldn't deal with her nomore...

[caring__1]

Generally, guys have more issues with girls being taller than them than shorter than them. As far as shorter goes, I feel I'm pushing it if she is 11" (28cm) or more shorter than me. Who wants to see a partner in pain from a crick in her neck just due to her desire to reach up to kiss me? Though people are flexible, and they can make accommodations, extreme differences can present challenges. When I was in college, there was a guy who was over 7'3" (222cm), and I used to see him walking around campus with his girlfriend, with his hand on her head. She wasn't even 5' (152cm) tall. Also, understand there are plenty of guys who are within 28cm of you.

[Marniboo]

Lol I'm 5ft 2 my hub is 6ft 7 ... he's a whole 1ft 5" taller.. and I wear flats.. we get laughs but not in a horrible way..

[caring__1]

@Marniboo Whatever works for the individuals is fine. I just don't like being the source of my partner's discomfort. Maybe the two of you enjoy when he lifts you up to his level. Enjoy whatever works for you. There is no right or wrong. If it works, it works.

[Marniboo]

After a while ubreally don't notice.. odd but true

[Marniboo]

U really *

[caring__1]

@Marniboo As long as you don't end up with a stiff neck and he doesn't end up with back problems, all is fine. If he starts to get back problems due to leaning over, suggest he do 4-way sit-ups on a 30" exercise ball. By keeping all his core muscles balanced, he'll save himself from (or at least reduce) pain.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

When I told my friends that I am learning to drive a car, they asked me if I was able to see above the driving wheel or not. In a non-offensive funny way.

Not only I am able to drive our smaller one, but I am able to drive our bigger SUV with much ease too. It's really easy! I am 5 feet 2 inches. It works out pretty well.

[Pinay_ako]

They ask me if use a booster seat 😂 but I can drive fine! I can reach the pedals and haven’t run over anyone or anything yet 😂 so move out of the way, shorty on the road 😜

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Well in India, most of the people fall in the range of about 5.2 to 5.8 something. So the driving wheel, the pedals, and the seat positioning all have been adjusted accordingly.

Our SUV's seat can be adjusted both in front and in height too. I have set it on max height for the whole family lol!

I have hit someone, to be honest, because I was not paying any attention on the road, but was on the infotainment system in the console. Hence from that point, I just switch off the system and give full concentration on the road only.😭😭

[Pinay_ako]

Oh wow how is the other person?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

She's fine! She was cool about it, surprisingly.

[Pinay_ako]

😂 oMg wow

[Curmudgeon]

Really? Lots of tall guys like short girls. An old prom picture:

And it can be fun to love them and hug them and pet them and squeeze them:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ArNz8U7tgU4

[Pinay_ako]

Nice photo

[Curmudgeon]

Yes. Oh to be that skinny again. We are still friends, although no relationship actually formed.

[Curmudgeon]

And on a sexual note, if you are a tall man with a petite woman, you can ""fuck walk". This involved her wrapping her arms and legs around me tightly, me putting my arms around her tightly and my pole in her, and then my briefly walking about the house/apartment/hotel/motel, with her eyes rolling and her squeals of delight.

[melanieeeB]

I guess the common stuff, not being able to reach everything, people commenting on my height or "Oh but you look so young" or "You are so cute" (No I'm not, I'm dangerous 😠) or people not really taking you seriously at all... yeah thanks go fuck yourself (not you in particular but damn it you understand what I mean)

[Th3ft]

You are dangerous!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Mostly just the fact people are taller than me and put things that I need to climb to get. My siblings do this deliberately because they think it's funny.

Also shopping since even the bras and dresses look like they're made for giants. Technically they are, people are too tall lol.

[Robert159]

I like to say fun sized short women are the best I'm 6'3'' I can't date a lady my height however I had a neighbor several years back that was something like 4'6" and she used to say I'm not short I'm space efficient

[Pinay_ako]

🤣 she right tho

[Zolly99999]

Thats funny right there

[Robert159]

She was right but told me I couldn't steal her saying unfortunately

[convo_king89]

when ur really short, people can mistake youn for being younger and pay the child fare. Im not super short but I’m 5’6. And wouldn't mind dating short chick. I’d wonder about how she would take a cock, second I’d wonder about her clothes and underwear, does she shop in the womens or girls sizes.

[Pinay_ako]

I shop anywhere 😂 I have a height of a child, the body of a woman.

[convo_king89]

Well u dodged a bullet I guess

[Marniboo]

Haha seriously? We shop everywhere anyone else does? And we don't have midget vaginas hahahaha

[Literalbillionaire17]

*sigh. I’m 5’3 and to me that’s not super short but it is pretty short. Sometimes I need a chair to climb on to reach the top shelves of my cabinets.


My grandma always acts like I can’t grab shit (sometimes I can’t but still) and so she’ll always go “I’ll get it because you’re short and I can reach it” (she’s 5’7)


When you’re short any extra fat on your body looks like you’re trying to over pack a suit case full of clothes.

[Missgingles]

Asking me if I buy my clothes at the children section. Or people bending down to talk to me. But I'm 5'2 so that's not that short I think..

Or calling me cute when angry. Horribel thing to do lol..

[Pinay_ako]

I got me good deals at the kids’ section to buy shoes 🤣. Yea they don’t take shorties seriously when we mad. They go 🥰 you’re so cute when you’re angry. Then I go, oh I’m about to be adorable 😡 😂

[Missgingles]

Right! Same!! They think we couldnt ninja chop them but they'll see..🤣😭

[jazque]

Honestly i love being short. I think too many people care WAAAAAY to much about physical appearance. Who cares... as long as you love yourself , what others think shouldn't mean shit.
If i need something up high i ask husband or taller co-worker or friend. Or i climb up on something. Short people can always find a way up, can tall people get down? Lol
Plus if i was tall i wouldn't love heels so much... and i LOVE my heels. So bottom line be happy with what you got... cause you rock... xo

[Faith18letsgo]

Absolutely I would date someone short. I don’t want to miss out on a soulmate because of a few inches. But in terms of mean things, I’m 5’ 7” but I have lots of short friends.

One of them was called “kid sized” another was asked by a stranger, “what are you?” asking for their height. Also I think people just see you as less attractive which is BS.

[UnknownPuppet]

I am 5'3 ft. I can't say that I face any real obstacle because of that. Yeah, many people tell me that I look like 22 years old instead of 26 but I guess that is a good thing and it doesn't have to do only with the height😂 But what I find really cute is when I want to reach something from a higher shelf and I ask for help a taller guy 😂 It is creepy I know but I like it. That maybe could be an obstacle if you are all alone so nobody can reach it for you 😆

[wingattebaby16]

i hate normal couches and sofas and chairs..

My feet dangle and don't touch the floor.

I love Ikea furniture as it is very short and close to the ground.

But have you ever tried to have sex on a bed so close to the floor your man has trouble even being on his knees?
