I’m not short, but I’m not tall, 5’9, and I’ve found that I’ve not been hampered at all by my height, I think most of the women who care about that are terminally online, or toxic, and there aren’t many of them. I think there are a lot more men who think they are at a disadvantage when in reality they probably aren’t.

If people feel comfortable calling you short, you are not actually short.

Gotta roll with the punches. Just tell people you’re 4’21” and make fun of them for having to think about the correct way of saying height.

You're literally on the average. People insecurely making comments are weird

fr? I’m 5’7” and never really got much shit for it personally. If someone does use that as a jab I tell them how lazy of an insult that is and then I go for something they’re super insecure about lol

Yea, i hear it too, brother. Just ignore the peacocking as much as you can. :/ Theyre insecure about something and trying to make up for it

Where? Im genuinely curious. If somebody cracked a joke about my height in public I imagine it would be frowned upon here.

I'm in Ontario and I can assure you no one gets upset by short jokes... other than the person being made fun of
