In my life, there have been moments I’ve wished to be taller, probably like every single one of us in this community. But let me be clear: those moments didn’t last long. I never got bullied in school because of my attitude. People knew I’d throw a desk at them just for looking at me funny. That’s just the kind of environment I grew up in, and I adapted. I’m 5’6” (168 cm) and 24 years old, and let me tell you: since school, I’ve never wasted a single minute wishing to be taller.
I see so many people whining and complaining on this subreddit, and I’m not here to preach any “red pill” theories or feed you some pseudo-alpha nonsense. I hate that entire concept. I’ve always spoken to men the same way I’m speaking now directly. I’m working on opening my own business right now, and let me tell you something: even when talking to people professionally, I’ve never experienced the kind of disrespect that some of you say you face daily.
Now, I’m not saying the world is perfect or that every person’s experience is the same, but let’s get real. A lot of what holds us back isn’t our height, it’s the way we think about it. I’ll give you a list of men who weren’t known for being tall but for dominating life in their own way:
Jeff Bezos (5’7” / 170 cm) – Built Amazon, one of the most powerful companies in the world.
Mark Zuckerberg (5’7” / 170 cm) – Revolutionized social media with Facebook.
Pablo Picasso (5’4” / 163 cm) – Changed the way we see art forever.
Albert Einstein (5’7” / 170 cm) – Literally rewrote the rules of physics.
Napoleon Bonaparte (5’6” / 168 cm) – Conquered Europe and changed history.
Lionel Messi (5’7” / 170 cm) – The greatest footballer of all time.
Diego Maradona (5’5” / 165 cm) – Another football legend who made the impossible look easy.
Charlie Chaplin (5’5” / 165 cm) – A cinematic genius who defined an era.
Tom Cruise (5’7” / 170 cm) – One of the biggest movie stars on the planet.
Alexander the Great (5’6” / 168 cm) – Conquered nearly the entire known world before 30.
Stephen Hawking (5’7” / 170 cm) – Redefined how we think about the universe, all while fighting unimaginable physical challenges.
Kevin Hart (5’2” / 157 cm) – Turned comedy into a global empire.
Leonardo da Vinci (5’6” / 168 cm) – The ultimate Renaissance man, genius in every field he touched.
None of these men are remembered for their height. They’re remembered for what they did. And that’s the mindset you need to have. Stop worrying about what other people think.
As for dating? Let me just say this: I’ve dated tall women, short women, and everything in between. If a woman ever thought about being with a taller guy, do you think I’d care? That’s her choice. Everyone is free to decide what they want, but that has zero impact on me. My life isn’t defined by someone else’s preferences.
Maybe I’m being rude, but what’s the point of sitting here sharing our “struggles” as short men? It’s not a sickness. It’s not the end of the world. It’s not something that should stop you from making your name known. The only thing holding some of us back is the way we think about ourselves.
At the end of the day, there’s no greater enemy than your own mind. That’s the only battle you need to win.
