Is 5'3 is short and unattractive height for an 18 years old girl who has stopped growing?

(background)
I'm 18, and 5'3 tall. I'm short due to my southeast Asian genetic. My family is short too. European average for female is 5'5-5'6 and American average for female is 5'4. Is being short unattractive and not sexy?

I would love to have a pair of long slim legs. I never like my short legs which thick thighs and calf. I've managed to make my legs a bit muscular, but it's not as sexy as slim long legs. My body parts are too crammed to each other, there's not enough space for sexiness.

Also I have a lot of baby fat on my face and it makes me looking like a kid.

  • Hi, first let me say that you being 5 ft 3 inches is NOT short.

    Your GAG profile says you’re in Malaysia and according to Wikipedia, the average female height for Malaysia is 5 ft 1 in; and the average female height for most of the “G7” major industrialized countries is 5-3.5 or 5-4...

    - Japan - 5-1.5
    - US (all)- 5-3.5
    - UK - 5-3.5 / 5-4
    - Canada, France, Germany, and Italy - 5-4
    *** US (Non-Hispanic whites) - 5-5
    *** US (Asian Americans) - 5-2

    So based on the above, at 5-3 you’re taller than average for Malaysia; and about average for the industrialized world.

    Concerning attractiveness & sexiness—these are subjective terms, so everyone has different ideas about what they mean.

    Concerning attractiveness, to me this is the appeal of a few things taken together:

    1. Body (face & figure)
    2. Mind (intelligence & ideas)
    3. Soul (personality/feelings & extrovert or introvert)
    4. Spirit (awareness/importance of God or supernatural)

    Everyone evaluates these 4 characteristics in a potential Significant Other, but they have different preferences—some care most about physical beauty; others need brainy people; some can’t resist confident showoffs or submissive pleasers; and some others look for religious churchgoers.

    In the end, people choose their SO because that person is an acceptable mix of all characteristics.

    Regarding sexiness, I see this as more of a personality thing—how confident a woman is regarding who she is/what she has to offer, and how she carries herself.

    Don’t focus so much on your height & legs, there’s so much more to you than just that. And concerning looking young now—your face will change over the years, and there will come a day when you’ll love that you have “young looking genes.”

    Most importantly: go easy on yourself and whatever you do have (whether it be a small chest or whatever), realize that many people love that and you should too; so try to accentuate and flaunt what you have.

    In short (no pun intended):
    “Love Yourself,” and “Rock Whatcha Got!”

    • Thanks for the MHO

  • Not at all! Height is not a barrier for women, just men. Nobody likes short men, but all men like short women. And 5-3 is t short. I dated a girl who was 4-10 before! She was a cheerleader and a gymnast, and let me tell ya, she was a LOT of fun! I called her “fun sized,” like the little Halloween candy bars.

  • You will surely find someone who finds you attractive.

    Your height is short, but not that short.
    I for one am 153 cm (5'02) and it's something you grow (heh) to accept.
    A lot of men really love short women, so you don't need to worry at all.

  • 5'3 isn't an unattractive for girls. Guys love girls that are shorter than them! If you are insecure about yourself maybe go to the gym or maybe try running. Running has always helped me with my weight.

  • Get a personal trainer and work on your body and get confident. I know with the right clothes and make up, you can look smashing. I also recommend you wear classic stiletto pumps all the time.

  • Being short is nothing to worry about if you're a girl.

  • No it’s a fine height, the UK has short girls as well, usually in west of the country.

    everyonecis different, it’s how fun someone is that’s more important

  • Hello sara i answer all your question when i see them but will you send me a message please

  • My sister stopped growing at 4'-8" her husband finds her very attractive. Anyways he reports it's easier to sling her over his shoulder and carry her to the bedroom that way.

  • Don't owrry about your height- it's not a problem for guys (many prefer a woman your height anyway). If you're unhappy about your weight, just makes changes to your diet.

  • "Is being short unattractive and not sexy?"
    Not in the slightest. My wife is Philippine and 5'2".
    As you get older, your features will thin out.

  • Heck no, my wife and previous girlfriend were both 5'3". I guess I have a type.

  • Can i tell you a secret..

    Men like cute girls ( who look like baby)

    And men prefer short girls.. Shorter girls are like toys.. 😂🤣😂🤣

    So these are your advantages.. Not your drawbacks..

  • Fine by me. My wife was 4'11", now 4'9".

  • Since you're only 18 the level of quality guys you'll have access to is shit. Boys who haven't accomplished anything in their life, anything they do is with their daddy's money. They're still in the age where they want to take advantage of as many girls as they can and won't be settling down any time soon.
    Don't get frustrated if that's what you're missing out on.
    I've dated filipinas and Thai girls, married two Black women, and finally married a Latina.
    Everyone has something positive to brin to a relationship and some bring destruction. Obviously some relationships don't turn out well. Don't be in a rush to be an asshole's number in his bodycount.
    You're you, and you're the only one that can be you. I dealt with this with my daughter recently. She felt lonely because her friends were shit and shallow. When she changed schools and brought her skills and personality with her she found some quality friends. It's not you, it's the quality of the people you're around right now. Quantity doesn't mean anything.
    If you're different from others in your circle then being a "novelty" will always be a question.
    Just own who you are.
    I'm sure you've got some awesome talent, you're very articulate, you're a pretty girl, having muscular legs is a plus in my book.
    The only downside you've got going is your lack of confidence.
    Being you is enough. Be the best 'you' that you can be.
    The girls around you that have boyfriends... are those boys really quality? Not at that age.
    Be patient. Don't rush in to get hurt by shallow selfish boys.
    I hope you find what you need.
