I'm 6'5" I've never hated my height but at times it does make me feel apart from the group. I wish i could be 5'8" just for a little while just to see if i was treated any different.
It means that you are way shorter than all men and majority of women , do you feel insecure embarrassed especially around women? Women tower over you anyway. Dating woken sucks?
Not really. I am insecure, but I can think of way more things I'm insecure about over height and if I had the power to change one thing about me, it wouldn't be height, because it really doesn't bother me, except in the situation I mentioned, but even that has it's pros at times. I'm also quite skinny too, but toned. I'm not really the type to approach women like that and I tend to assume the pretty ones are taken and I wouldn't want to go for someone who's taken, it's just not polite. I also have this thing with age, like not wanting to date someone who's too much young and you don't always know whether or not someone is 22 or actually 17. I'd want someone who's compatible too and an introvert like myself I feel like I'm really different and will have a hard time coming across someone. Attraction works both ways though and I do feel it's important.
How do you feel about your shortness in day to day normal life especially while dealing with wonen? Women are obviously taller than you for sure. How do they behave with you and how do you feel about looking up to women while talking to them standing up and women bending down to talk to you?
I don't really talk to a lot of women that often TBH and if I do, it's more often in situations where we can't exactly hang out and start a full on conversation e. g. the gym. A little bit of difference in height, isn't really a big deal to me and I have seen a lot of women who are around the same size as me, so I don't see that as a problem.
Plus, if I were to check a tall girl out, as a short guy, then things would look bigger to me e. g. if a girl has average sized boobs for her height, but is 5 ft 9, then they'd look bigger to me, as a short guy.
It really depends on the situation, but I think yes, though it is hard to remember if it doesn't really happen that often. I'm not really outgoing either and don't come across women that often, except sometimes in the gym, but I don't really like to disturb people there, unless necessary, even guys and just let everyone get on with what they're doing. Just approaching someone like that can look a bit desperate to me (I'm not saying it is) and I don't exactly consider myself attractive either, despite doing a lot for my appearance, so I think it'll make me look even more desperate. I don't mind it if someone asks me about my workouts though and I'd be more than happy if a pretty girl did and it lead to a conversation or something.
Not that I can remember, but I guess it would depend on the situation and what I was doing, like I were waiting in a big line and I was surrounded by women I didn't even know, then yes, it would feel a bit more awkward, especially if we weren't exactly talking, compared to if I were with some guys, who I also weren't talking to. Back when I were in school and college, I were always in weird situations regarding women e. g. One year, one of my classes were full of spoilt, loud brats (not only the women either), many of my classes had very few women and some of them were just too young, like 3 years younger, which I still kind of see as too much of an age gap. I also weren't attracted to many of them, if any and standards work both ways. 1 year is fine for me and 2 years is a possibility, but 3+ seems too much right now.
I'm JUST shy of 5'8. And I think I'm short. I walk through the fourth grade school areas in several schools, and a lot of the BOYS are taller than I am. I know kids in seventh grade who tower over me, and both their parents are short (5'2 and 5'8). A lot of the GIRLS are taller than I am. I know a few 12 year old girls who are my height or who are taller, and they're not particularly considered "tall."
Luckily, I think I'm a short guy who can get by (sort of) being noticed as not short. I believe it's a factor in girls not dating me, but I don't think it's in the top 3.
But, since we can't choose height... and I could have ended up much shorter, I tolerate it. It has one or two benefits, in that clothes are probably easier to find and are less expensive, and I don't need to cower when I'm going under a doorframe.
Still, if I could somehow choose a height, I think 6'3 or 6'4 would be nice to try out, at least.
I'm 5ft and it can be super annoying at times especially at work or when shopping because I can't reach things and people don't see but also no one believes that I'm 20 and thinks I'm a little kid. On the other hand I can laugh at myself and everyone thinks I'm cute because of it so I gets lots of cuddles.
I'm 5'6 but everyone thinks I'm 5'8 and I've never struggled it. I honestly take more crap from the boys than I do from the ladies sooo yea its cool. Plus I've got a serious advantage in hockey! Low center of gravity gives me more agility and short legs prolongs my stride making me faster and more effective on the breakouts. Just be you and Just do it!
I love being short when I wrestle, because the low center of gravity, I can just move people around so much easier and they have to stoop down and try to push back at an awkward angle, it's the best.
But I hate the fact that females are under the impression that the tall guy will always win because he's tall and everybody knows that that's how you win fights, so they say, "Oh I love to feel safe! My boyfriend is so tall, I feel so safe around him!"
And I look up at this tall fool next to her with his straight posture and his ultra-narrow stance, and it's like, "Yo, this guy isn't keeping you safe, you're safe because I'm really nice, and that's the ONLY fucking reason."
I'm fine with my height. Lots of advantages. The reason I don't like it is attraction. It's always fun when get rejected because of your height. Being told your height that you have no control over makes someone uncomfortable then ghosts you is great.
I am 5'9 1/2 inches and I don't like. With my chelsea boots on I am 5'10.
I have always wished that I was at least 6'0. I have to be extraordinary and charming to gain the attention of women. I feel that taller people have the majestic advantage of their presence that gives a subconscious type of attraction. I wish I was taller.
I’ve never felt uncomfortable with my height. I use to be the second tallest kid in my elementary school, in middle school I was average height and I stopped growing in my freshman year of high school making me one of the shortest students.
Now as a young adult I’m shorter than most people but it’s never bothered me. The only place people seem to care about height is on the Internet, in real life height doesn’t mean much.

I'm only 5ft and I may seem fine with my height and learn to live with it. I wish I am slightly taller. Its not easy for me to get things placed at average height, like the plane cabin compartment for example. I married a tall guy and hopefully my children will inherit his height haha!!
I'm 6 feet tall, I'm fine with my eight, I can consider myself quite tall, but if I should be totally honest and finicky, I would like to be like 6.06 feet tall , those 2 or 3 cm. more would make it the perfect eight. I have friends who are around 6.5, but it is not totally good, you have to talk with most people like bending a little, the back can feel that in the long distance, so 6.06 would be perfect
I am 173 cm tall and most guys that are shorter than me are always itimidated by my height! Which leaves only guys that are taller or same height as me to approach me. Most of the people ask me if I am a model, because I workout a lots some ask me if I am athletes. I must say being tall is really amazing. When I was younger I used to have low self-esteem because of my height as most girls my age were relatively shorter.
Exactly am sure men are scared and intimidated by you. Do you feel bad that most men are intimidated by your presence? How do you feel about short men?
yep. I am 6' 3". My oldest son is 6' 2", middle is 6' 4" and my youngest is 6' 3". So everyone is tall in my family. I like that better then being short. Plus I like women that are shorter then me and that usually is all of them. At least those I come across.
I'm 5'7", it's so hard to find men who are taller than me, and I can tell they feel emasculated when I tower over them. I just wish I was dainty and small :'(
I'm 1.67cm tall. I'd like to think I'm not too short, not too tall. I really like my height, even though my sister often makes fun of me because of it :). I wouldn't like to be taller than this because wearing high heels would look a bit weird then lol jk
The only thing that sucks about being tall is people assume you have a huge dong. Like I'm 6'3 and my shit is 6 1/2 inches, like that's ight by normal standards but since i'm tall people think I'm packing a 9 incher. Other than that I love being tall, no matter how shot my confidence is, at least I can say I'm tall yknow
I never thought about the height of me or anyone else till I joined this site and saw all these height questions but still don't care about my height. Not happy, not said, it is what it is.
I am only 5, 7" but still taller than most people I know.
Im 5 ft 7" so i suppose thats quite tall for a girl. And yeah! Im happy with my height... altho i wouldn't mind being 5 ft 9" (maybe 2 inches taller... but oh well)
5'6" and I'm fine with my height. It's never been a problem or any kind of negative. Well OK, it can be hard to find pants that fit. They literally don't make my length, so they end up being long.
In the US the average woman is 5'4". I don't know what percentage are taller than me, but the majority are shorter. But if they are taller it wouldn't bother me. There is no reason for it to bother me.
I'm 5'8, but still growing. Honestly I'm perfect fine with 5'8. The ladies don't care, and it doesn't feel like I'm much shorter than anybody else I know.
I'm not insecure about my height, but I sometimes wish I was taller. Lol. I'm 5'10. Many may think this is a good height, but it's funny... it seems like over the years women keep getting taller, too! Lol. My last few girlfriends have been 5'9" to 6'0".
I don't know what I am. People's idea of "average" keeps changing. I can tell you this though, I'm definitely not tall. I'm 5'5 and I consider myself short.
@courtney06 I'm down in the Southern part of the States! Most of the women around here at least are about my height or shorter. I guess the men just consider our heights "cute" down here, lol.
I'm 5'1" and I woop everyone's ass in physical fitness tests. I have way more accomplishments than the vast majority of people out there; I'm a member of 3 Honors Societies, I speak 5 languages, I have 3 Associate's Degrees, and I have advanced belts in Karate, San Soo Kung Fu, and Krav Maga, among quite a few other things. Clearly height doesn't mean jack shit.
5’5” I love my height, though maybe if I were a bittttt taller I wouldn’t have to reach so high for a kiss from my boy 😂😂

I'm short, like 5'1, and guys always make it a point to say it's "cute", which is annoying. I also don't like it because I always wanted to model. I have the face, but not the height so I was never able to get in.
Overall yes. I'm 6'4," so I guess I would be classified as tall-- assuming 5'10" is around average. My ideal height is 6'2," but 6'4" is still pretty close to my ideal, so I'm more or less fine with it.
I am 5'4 and could care less. I dress in stylish clothes and own it. It is all about dignity and being confident. I brighten up the room I am in despite my height.
@anewuseris My gentlemanly mannerism always won them over; height was never an issue. And plus I like really short girls (4'4 - 5'3) so I am still taller than them anyway.
I am 182 cm and that is fairly average around here and I am fine with it If I could change it I wouldn't mind being taller but it really isn't something that is possible and my height is fine enough that I dont think about it
It's not nearly as big a deal though. A short guy is a deal breaker for a good chunk of women whereas a tall woman isn't nearly that big a deal to a guys.
Yeah, I'm little taller than the average for the country but I'm fine with it :D

I don't care about my height What bothers me is the sweet taunts given by people, "ohhhhhh you look handsome but you couldn't gain height" and crap like that I've never faced any problems other than that stuff
My boyfriend is 5'5 as well, and he says the same thing. As for the girl thing it saves you a lot of time when it comes to dating shallow girls. You get to rule like half of them out without having to go threw heartbreak.
