Girls, what social issues/judgments do you experience being too short/too tall?

[Anonymous]

I'm just curious. I am 153 cm (5.1 ft) and the ones I can think of are:

1. Assuming I'm much younger (this is a big issue due to lack of respect from others if they think you're a teen or a student)
2. Being seen as weak
3. Assuming I'm shy, good girl that likes girly stuff
4. Being called cute all the time (not hot, beautiful, pretty...)
5. Asuming I would go for short guys just because we are both short
6. Asuming my kids will be short too
7. Asuming I wear high heels because I'm short

Well that's about it I could think of right now, besides the obvious ones such as reaching high stuff and never seening a stage/cinema because of tall ones in front, and so on...

How about you?

I wrote a whole MyTake on why I loathe being short in ways words cannot describe.

RE: "Do you like your height?"

Two, in fact.

My Experience Struggling with Depression, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Never Being "Good Enough"

The "short" version is, I'm seen as being inferior/worthless/unworthy of love, due to being too short and judged as being "not a real man" by most women and the majority of taller men. Literally all of my hopes and dreams are unobtainable having inferior/junk DNA and genetics. I'll never be the person I was truly meant to be (had I grown to 6'5"/195 cm, like I was supposed to, or even 6'1"/185 cm, in order to be the minimum of masculine.)

I don't feel like giving myself massive depression today, so I won't go into it in detail. But basically, short men are not considered "real men" by anyone in society, especially women.

As a Guy you probably who is dating all 5'1 Betty Boop look-a-like you should know that you missed a few Man thoughts. Please note, I am not one who thinks this way but i am a Guy and i hope you are prepared for "Guy talk" A quick rated G being Geisha Gnome or Gnome in general.

That one... remember her... she is going to balloon up and out after one kid... those look good now but will be resting on a belly after babies... man, slide up a chair and eat Bojangles off that picnic table... And there are others along those lines for a 4'11-5'2.

I am not sure that you are prepared for further Enlightenment...

“You’re tall”

“You’re so thin” (which is just as bad as saying fat but people think “thin” is fine to say) Try picking me up. People always have surprising trouble. I’m solid, heavy, taekwondo muscle.

You reach a point you realize they are other peoples insecurities being projected onto you.

I’m fine with my annoyingly high metab. I have to eat more often, but people never notice that. Well, my friends do. Then get teased I can out-eat them, but they love me so that doesn’t matter either. : )

I view myself as cuter because I am short, but I feel like taller women are more sexy.

Well I'm 5'11" and used to be a somewhat competitive swimmer in highschool. Most of the things i struggled with is being called too manly beause of my not so petite build (more muscular than most girls). This kinda made me quit the swim team tbh (I still work as a lifeguard and swim here and there but nothing serious), it's made me a lot more self conscious and also stopped me from working out my upper body too much (except abs).

[MCheetah]

But do you date shorter men, or still only go for titans?

[Boredhereforfun]

I do wear high heels because I am short
And when I do I feel great tbh

Some people gets surprised when they see me without my heels on at how short I am
but that's a short lived surprise and they comment "Dang you are so short" and we laugh and move on


The only thing that I don't like about being short is when I am with tall girls and I feel like a kid.

Assuming that you would go for short guys? yea even short girls don't want short guys. :)
