@RachelBrigs the take seems more focused on women to me, given the entry about wearing heels and her personal experiences as a short woman, which is fine. Still doesn't really negate what i said though
That's because I am a woman. I was basing it off around my height and if anyone around my height having those kinds of issues. Heigh heels weren't always meant for women. They were made for men back in the day. Though now that doesn't happen.
Besides the high heels part I would think short guys have the same problem. Though there isn't really that many guys who are around 5'0"-5'2"
The thought about how short guys lived never crossed my mind actually. Again was just thinking about the things I face, lol.
You're saying being a short girl isn't a problem. Sure it might not be a problem with guys but it is still hard for us to reach the top shelf and see properly when driving. So what you said is actually not true.
@RachelBrigs sure, but any general problem for a short girl is going to be the same for a short guy, obviously. It's not like being a 5'4 guy allows you to reach at the top shelf any better than a 5'4 girl. My only point (and i really wasn't trying to make a big debate about this here) is that when you compare apples to apples, short guys have it worse than short women. Haven't negated anything she said, or that I've said. And yeah Mustachekitteh, i don't really have a problem with how you wrote the take or anything
You have me seriously thinking about this, lol. The only difference about short guys I can honestly think of is just people probably bully them more or make them feel worse about themselves.
Yeah there is a really bad stigma for guys who are short. We have all the same problems as a short woman, with the added negativity concerning our manhood and attractiveness, as short guys are often seen as more incompetent and less able to protect their women, There's even studies showing that this is how a lot of people think. Now the reverse can be true for girls who are tall. If you're a really tall girl, you will often have your own set of problems that tall guys dont really have to worry about
No, it does negate what you said. You said there is no problem with being a short girl. Short girls still struggle. Yes short guys experience the same struggles, but that doesn't mean that short girls don't. So what you said is definitely invalid. Short guys struggling more doesn't negate the struggle of short girls. Really, this is simple logic.
Lmfao I don't have a problem with it. This article is clearly for fun. Yeah having to climb on shit is a pain but I'm perfectly fine with my height.
But you going on about the plight of short men on a light hearded fun article about having to climb shelves makes it seem like you have a deeper rooted problem
God those people are seriously stupid for thinking that. My boyfriend is short 5'4" yet he's really strong though he doesn't have scary huge muscles. They are a perfect size to his body. So yeah just because your short doesn't mean your automatically weak. I would think they would be more dangerous, lol.
That's true though I don't know to much about that for tall females.
I've never been picked on for my height growing up. I mean sure people will make friendly jokes about it. Though none of them did it to actually try to hurt me. Plus it's funny when i carry huge and heavy objects and others see that. Some end up acting impressed which to me is funny.
I would think guys would have more bullying problems with being sort.
and yeah Mustachekitteh it is a bit silly but, it is what it is. Being as tall as possible is the pressure that guys often have to face... but unlike being overweight, its not something a person can alter through sheer work and will. But you learn to adapt and work with what you've got
God that would be awful if all the guys in the world were like 5'8" and up. For short women it would suck majorly and make doing certain things harder to try and some other things.
i find that there are a lot more short women these days who don't just want a guy whos taller than they are. They want a guy who is TALL. like, if the girl is 5'3, she'll want a guy who is 6'0 for example. Tall men are in perpetual high demand, hah
Yeah but I feel obligated to help the girls who are short. For instance the girl in the photo who is to short to see the singer at the concert, I might ask if she wanted to sit on my shoulders.

Awww. So cute :D
Yeah, I have trouble getting clothes that fit too. But too long is easy. Get them hemmed.
To relate this to men, a 5' Woman is well lets say about as short as a 5'4" man? (relatively speaking I'm guessing that men are about 4 inches taller than women on average)
yeah... that's rare. I'm only slightly below average height and its still not always easy to see at concerts! Why do all the tall people herd to the front? lol
try being skinny and tall. its at the opposite end of the spectrum which is annoying too. Plus a plus of being a short girl is lots of guys like that cause its cute :3 (which is a good thing not a bad one)
Or when when you have to reach out to take off an old notice but you can't because you are short and the worse part is your crush is standing behind you laughing at your inability. T_T

being kinda tall, I have the same issue with pants, Seems like they are never the right size. I think my body is close to the manikin too.
I'm actually 5'1 as well. A lot of guys find it cute and attractive.
This song, written by the great songwriter Randy Newman, is meant to be funny:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUlIv3Ca8AII'm 5'0
Mom - 4'11
Aunts - 4'10
Granny - 4'9
I'm the tallest
You realise that with age you are actually shrinking and will probably the same height as your granny when you reach her age?
I don't care I like being short @FakeName123 and plus her mother (my great grandmother) is 4'10 I don't think I'll be as short as her.
No worries. Short girls are lots of fun. I was simply teasing you. You will have lost around 2-3 inches in size when you are 60 or so.
This describes me :) I'm 5'4" Except for the car part. I can get clothes out of the washer and dryer ok.
5'4 isn't really that short at all. :3 Could pass as average.
@mememellow Everyone tells me im short for a guy.
being a short girl is not really a problem. Being a short guy is
She's not talking about attraction. She's talking about the struggle of being short...

@RachelBrigs If im being honest with you, i don't really care. I'm a short person myself, and i got over it. You can too

@RachelBrigs
well tbh, you seem to be the most aggravated here, just saying.
and yeah Mustachekitteh it is a bit silly but, it is what it is. Being as tall as possible is the pressure that guys often have to face... but unlike being overweight, its not something a person can alter through sheer work and will. But you learn to adapt and work with what you've got

Again to me that just seems stupid since again makes doing certain things with them much harder than it has to be.
Yeah i don't try to decipher what goes through the mind of women sometimes ^_^
Women don't even know what's going through the minds of other women at times, lol.
The kitten walking is cute.
And yes, I agree with all of these. Luckily I don't have to deal with the car one @ 5'4"
Yeah but I feel obligated to help the girls who are short. For instance the girl in the photo who is to short to see the singer at the concert, I might ask if she wanted to sit on my shoulders.
Awww. So cute :D
Yeah, I have trouble getting clothes that fit too. But too long is easy. Get them hemmed.
Short with a baby face, everyone thinks I'm like 12 years old. xD
I love women who are only D high!
They are sooooooooooooo adorkable <3
To relate this to men, a 5' Woman is well lets say about as short as a 5'4" man? (relatively speaking I'm guessing that men are about 4 inches taller than women on average)
It's rare to see any guy who is under 5'0"-5'2"
yeah... that's rare. I'm only slightly below average height and its still not always easy to see at concerts! Why do all the tall people herd to the front? lol
You know that while men might looks at those long legs, what they really really like are those adorable short girls?
the driving one looool. My girlfriend is short and it's cute sometimes. Also is that you in the first pic lool?
lol naw that's not me though that is how it looks when I need to get something from the kitchen lol
lmao. Well short people do have some advantages though!
try being skinny and tall. its at the opposite end of the spectrum which is annoying too. Plus a plus of being a short girl is lots of guys like that cause its cute :3 (which is a good thing not a bad one)
It is when you can't pet dolphins because of your height. I'm still sad about that. lol
Or when when you have to reach out to take off an old notice but you can't because you are short and the worse part is your crush is standing behind you laughing at your inability. T_T
I'm not as short as you. I'm 5'4" but I don't think it is too noticeably short.
Being short has advantages like being able to escape small spaces better.
Tall girls have issues dating so nobody's got it easy I guess😊
I like tall women.
@God-vs-Satan maybe they like you
😃😃😃
Some do and some don't. Sadly, shorter women seem more interested in me.
Short women are cute and I love them. Don't be ashamed about it because I prefer short women to the tall ones.
Omagawd you just summed up my life😄
