@@StickManVSI’m 5’5” and it hasn’t really been an issue. Confidence and personality is more important than height because most women are looking for a guy that has his life together and is fun to be around. It is a preference and some women just won’t date shorter guys, and that’s alright, but most women I’ve met don’t care about it nearly as much as you’d think. You cant change it so don’t worry about it, and don’t feel like you have to “make up” for it. Just be confident in yourself and the people who like you for you will come.

This is the first time I've heard him not in an acting role or being goofy. It's blowing my mind. He seems really down to earth and honest about things. You can tell he accepted he was short a long long time ago.

When I was in high school, I was bothered by being 5'9" because I had a lot of friends who were taller, and I had friends who were girls that teased because I was "short" (its average height, but I was shorter, definitely). And it bothered me so much then because I felt like I SHOULD be growing. I ate right, I exercised, the whole thing. When I got to 19 or 20, I realized I was done growing, at least not in any dramatic fashion, and it was like a wave of confidence because I just accepted it. I am who I am, and everyone in my life who has a positive influence, or is just a friend DOESNT CARE. Or if they do, they're usually just a negative person anyway.

I interpret her asking to be a form of consideration. Sure it may bring attention to something he’s possibly insecure about, but it would be ignorant to think people don’t already know the subject of his possible insecurity. In other words, it’s already obvious that he’s short, so bringing attention to it isn’t doing any harm. But asking him his view on the subject is taking his feelings directly in to account. This is also from the perspective of a man who is 5”4’

My Idol was footballing legend Jimmy "Jinky" Johnstone of Glasgow Celtic, all 5ft 1in of him, between the mid 60s and early 70s wee Jinky was at his peak and was easily the most skilful and entertaining football player in Europe at that time, this was a time when football was played on muddy, sodden lumpy pitches with a heavy wet leather ball not the bowling green lawns they play on today and add in every hatchet man defender in Europe had him in their sights, wee Jinky just worked his magic and left hulking defenders in his wake. RIP wee man.

I used to be so short when I was in lower and middle school that I was even shorter than most of the people two grades below me. I was proud of it, and had fun being some of the other kids’ armrest. Nobody ever insulted me about my height, and I think that was because I embraced it. Now I’m average height for my age, if not above average, and that’s cool too.
