first off, i just wanna say im mid diamond rank, so i'm pretty good at rts games

i also had close to a 4.0 gpa in high school taking mostly ap classes and such, and a 2350 on the sats....

not to sound cocky or anything, but i got to attend the dream university of my choice as well..

as you can see, i'm pretty much perfect in every way...
except...

im only 5 foot 3
...so im a shorty but i mean thats cool and all
im come to accept that god made me just perfect in every way

the only issue comes when women make fun of me and mock me for my height
its getting really damn annoying
like yesterday at the bus stop 2 lovely women were talking about the weather or something
as soon as we got on the bus because there were no empty seats i had to stand and i ended up standing next to one of them
because im so short i could barely reach the railing while they were leaning against it
it made me feel inadequate and like less of a man

another story
i was with some friends getting drunk hitting bars
and u gotta know women at bars almost exclusively wear high heels
so im basically dwarfed by every single woman there and the torture is absolutely unbearable
i tried having a conversation with a woman who was just hanging out by herself near the table
she was sitting there and i asked if i could buy her a drink
she obliged, though regretfully, and we started hitting it off
but,
a few minutes later, apparently her friends arrived, and she had to go...
she finally stood up, and she just towered over me, stilettos and all
her friends also were about her height, some slightly shorter and some slightly taller,
but they all made me feel weak and insignificant

before my lady friend decided to have some fun at my expense
she asked me, with a hint of tease in her voice,
"how's the weather down there?"
at that moment i wanted to disappear and bury my head in the ground

i used to think my height was just perfect for me
but ive come to have second thoughts

God's probably laughing at your misery brought on by short stature. What an awesome guy.

you are the exact opposite of me lol. Im currently 6 foot 8 and wanting to be a little shorter. to many things in this world are not built for tall people. Clothing, shoes, those dam doors*serisuly the top of my head doesnt bruise anymore) are all designed for shorter people, makes me wanna be shorter

I don't have quite the same problem considering I'm 5'7" but I used to be really short back in like 7-9th grade (like <5'). My friends were generally tall, at least a good amount taller than me, I just tried to look on the good things about being short. For instance, my roommate is 6'3" and I just laugh at him every time he hits his head off of something (not maliciously, of course) and I just kind of poke fun at my own shortness. I think poking at myself helped me get over being really short when I was younger.

I agree with puckstop and that being tall is not all that great either. I'm "only" 6'4 (so I don't have to worry about door frames) but definitely 50%+ of small talk with people seems to start with regards to my height/how tall I am/etc. I can truthfully admit I've wacked my head on a ton of stuff throughout my years too, be-it bus overhead (cheese wagons have stupid low racks on the sides -__-), the handrails, or even underestimating how short my roof is at areas as I brilliantly decide to jump.

edit: Maybe you'll have some incredibly growth spurt and grow a foot sometime.

How old are you? I'm 5'4 and rarely had this issue past 18. It's just how you present yourself. Every girl isn't going to love you, and if she doesn't, your height is an easy target. If she didn't like you and you were tall, guess what, she would make some other comment to tease you.

I don't know, these days I actually see a decent amount of guys walking with cute girls who were taller than them. My current gf is the first girl I've dated that was shorter than me actually. It does really suck sometimes, but you just have to deal with it.

The only thing I've actually gotten hung up on is my wedding day (edit: theoretical wedding day lol). I'm not sure how confident I would be taking wedding pictures or standing at the altar with a girl standing over me Outside of that life is fine being short lol.

Ouch, and being short isn't something you can hope to change (unlike being fat) now that you've probably stopped growing.

You only need to find one girl though.

If you still can't find her, try sitting on the shoulders of one of your friends

I'm only a few inches taller then you but I wish I was at least 6 feet tall myself. You have a lot going for you and that's what you should focus on and stay positive. Yeah you want to be taller but I bet a lot of people want some things that you have like going to university for example.

People who make fun of you for your height probably aren't worth hanging out with in the first place.

I don't know if I'm imagining it or what but sometimes when I stand up it feels like my vision goes blank and I have to fight to not fall over lol. I always wonder if anyone notices my staring emptily into space wobbling (or so I always remember it).
I'm the tallest person I know, but physically I'm incredibly weak and pretty frail. It could of course be worse, but it could be better. People's bodies are mysterious things.

Speaking of girls it is kind of awkward talking to them while basically looking down at a pretty large angle but maybe it's just me.

Girls are just testing you. If you had all those qualities and were 6-foot, but had a crooked nose they would bust you on that. I don't know anything else that might give you better insight, but to just be thankful for what you have. Maybe that will help you come to grip with your current condition.

You can't change your height so stop worrying about it. By worrying about things out of your control you lose confidence, which is far worse.

Oh, and I'm 6'4"; sorry guys.

Had a good friend in college who must have been in the 5'2-5'4 area. Honestly it was a nonissue. If you have great qualities, they'll always take precedence over such physical properties.

You got a 2350 and you type like that (this is pretty dickish but you invite it with the "I'm pretty much perfect in every way but..."). I'd say your issue is confidence not height, no one on this forum or in life should ever think less of you for your height. You didn't need to open with some ridiculous brag to overcompensate, you have nothing to be ashamed of. They're are people who aren't going to find you attractive because of your height, fuck those people, but that's life.

Wow dude you're 5'4? LOL I'm 20 and I'm 5'5 -_-. Actually wow you suck Chill, now you're making me think of my theoretical wedding day.... sigh. I don't plan on getting married anytime soon or settling down at all so I guess I won't have to worry about it hehehe.

@OP I feel you dude, although holy shit why are you getting so much shit for being short? Throughout high school n stuff I would only get slightly teased, a joke here and there but nothing that would make me feel like shit.

Also has anyone noticed that it's the short guys who are usually tougher? I noticed this in high school, pretty much from all the shit they know they're going to get they make up for it with other things.

it is an inherent disadvantage, because any girl will tell you'd she'd prefer the guy to be taller. For some the preference is like 1% that it matters for some it's more, but almost all of them want that a tiny bit in the back of their head.

That being said, I don't know a decent girl out there (ie the type you'd actually want to date) that wouldn't date a shorter guy if he was their type in the first place. So height really isnt a deterrent for any reasonable girl.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
