being short is a bigger curse than you think

[BigBallsLarry]

It's not just about women not finding you as attractive as tell men, but also a lot of things that tall people can do, won't ever be possible for you.

For reference, I'm 177cm [5'9.5] at 18, this is around 3-4cm below the average in my country. Nowadays this is considered as a manlet. Of course being borderline 5'10 isn't as bad as being 5'6 - god forbid that's your height, and let it be known that I'm praying for you.

But still, even at that height, you won't ever experience some pleasures that people above 6 feet will.

First off - people just won't take you seriously. This is a major flaw especially if you're working a business job. You don't look convincing or confident, and you never look serious, simply because you're short. And forget about EVER being intimidating, that's out of the books for a short guy. Imagine someone is threatening you, but they look like this:

This image brings us to a second point - you will never look good in suits. You just won't, you will look silly instead.

Look at these images of tall people in suits:

Now imagine if they were 5'8.. absolutely over. You will look like a child dressing in their dads clothes.

I mean take this from me, i absolutely love suits, i think they look great, but i just can't wear them - because my body doesn't look good in them. This might be due to a short torso, maybe short legs, but either way, it ruins suits and long jackets entirely.

Something that connects both of these points together is leadership. If you're short, forget about ever being a respected leader. Hell, if you have a tall posture and combine it with suits, people will assume you're the best leader/CEO ever, even if you're completely shit. Compare that with being short, where as said before, no one will even take you seriously.

Along with suits, muscles will also look bad on a short guy. Take Jeff Nippard for example. i actually audibly laugh whenever i see his videos, he looks like a child and it's hilarious.

He's 35 BTW. Just lol at this guy bodybuilding to cope with being a manlet. It's actually pretty sad the more i think about it.

Height also equals protection. If you're a short man, your girlfriend will never feel protected by you. She won't feel safe just because she has you in her life. I actually have experience with this -- Back when i was with my ex, i was around 172cm (around 5'7). When we broke up, after 4 years of a relationship, she told me something that sticked with me very well.

"you wouldn't even be able to protect me in crisis"

Now at the time of saying this, i was a confident and muscular man. I had above average muscles and i knew how to resolve conflict both physically and emotionally, so i didn't really understand why she felt like this.. until i understood that she only thought that because i was short. How is a short guy supposed to feel protective? It's actually pretty understandable.

My current girlfriend doesn't feel like this - atleast i hope so - therefore maybe 5'9 is truly the cutoff here.

Of course there's also the blackpill, things like:

- your jokes being less "funny" somehow
- getting interrupted more when speaking
- getting overshadowed physically in crowds
- being made fun of becomes more common

You're basically like the comic relief character in TV shows.

Count your lucky stars if you're above 6 feet tall

Suits can be manageable if you are manlet. They won't look as good as they would on a tall person but if you stick with proportion keep the jacket size not too long and wear similar color jacket and pants it can work. Trenches, long overcoats anything that goes beyond the waist all you should avoid. Avoid anything that breaks the vertical line or adds unnecessary bulk.

I read your whole post. I agree that being shorter than average makes you less respected.

The statistically average height in Europe is 178 centimetres for males and 166 centimetres for females.

I am 173 centimetres after waking up in the morning, and I am 172 centimetres after some time because of spinal compression, so I am still taller than almost all women.

I have to make up for being under 180 centimetres by having a decent face and a decent frame and physique. Yes, good personality is very important too, but personality will usually only be noticed after you are recognised for your appearance.

Yes, personality is vert important too, but personality will usually only be noticed after you are recognised for your appearance.

you can’t unironically make a statement like this on this forum tbh i assume by “personality” you mean being neurotypical?
i’ve never seen women rejecting “quirky” or “socially inept” chads just because of their lack of social skills

 

[SplashJuice]

The best state you can settle for when you're short is, people won't respect you or you won't be attractive to girls but you can achieve your own independence.

I notice that if you have a cold face or speak in a harsh manner, people really don't mess with you, they might not like you but at least you're not a pushover. I think that's the best social summation one can get as a short man.

You might not be loved or liked by others, more tolerated, but that’s better than nothing I suppose. Analogous to a rogue country that's isolated but still retains its own independence, like Tokugawa Japan.

Good personality is easy to understand.

Good personality means that you are considerate and respectful of others and their boundaries. It means that you can communicate clearly without being rude. It means that you are helpful.

A good face and height will not save you if you are insulting women and other individuals and not respecting boundaries.

It's not just about women not finding you as attractive as tell men, but also a lot of things that tall people can do, won't ever be possible for you.

For reference, I'm 177cm [5'9.5] at 18, this is around 3-4cm below the average in my country. Nowadays this is considered as a manlet. Of course being borderline 5'10 isn't as bad as being 5'6 - god forbid that's your height, and let it be known that I'm praying for you.

But still, even at that height, you won't ever experience some pleasures that people above 6 feet will.

First off - people just won't take you seriously. This is a major flaw especially if you're working a business job.

Something that connects both of these points together is leadership. If you're short, forget about ever being a respected leader.

Compare that with being short, where as said before, no one will even take you seriously.

I actually have experience with this -- Back when i was with my ex, i was around 172cm (around 5'7). When we broke up, after 4 years of a relationship, she told me something that sticked with me very well.

"you wouldn't even be able to protect me in crisis"

Now at the time of saying this, i was a confident and muscular man. I had above average muscles and i knew how to resolve conflict both physically and emotionally, so i didn't really understand why she felt like this.. until i understood that she only thought that because i was short. How is a short guy supposed to feel protective? It's actually pretty understandable.

My current girlfriend doesn't feel like this - atleast i hope so - therefore maybe 5'9 is truly the cutoff here.

Of course there's also the blackpill, things like:

- your jokes being less "funny" somehow
- getting interrupted more when speaking
- getting overshadowed physically in crowds
- being made fun of becomes more common

You're basically like the comic relief character in TV shows.

It's very sad actually, but suits are overally pretty dismissed nowadays. Back in 1900's suits were very much a normal things to wear, now it's weird enough that you become the "suit guy".. But still him being short definitely doesn't make it better.
