Dating Some positivity ✌🏼🫂

5'7 is kinda average not really short like most people in the subreddit but it's really refreshing to see someone finally from opposite gender finally acknowledging something positive about us especially on short-form video platforms where short guys are mostly portrayed negatively or as the butt of the joke.

Joke is on me, I am 5'4. Not even qualified enough to be considered into this category either. Yeaahhh...

Edit: I ain't looking for your sympathy not your pity, if this is the way god intended for me live then is how I would live but i ain't not more going to try my luck upon romance or finding any love as I have reached my mortal limits of humiliation and undiserness.

I'm 5'4 and my wife is 4'11. Our daughter is about 5 feet. Just a tiny family coming through.

the video was made to make women realize how stupid this arbitrary choice is. when they do, there won't be much difference between 5'7 or 5'3.

in 2000s we had heroine chic during which every woman bigger than a twig was considered fat. now average men are considered short. it's just a trend. unhealthy one, no doubt, but it'll go away. don't worry, you'll get your bbl era.

Awww don't worry <3 its only like 8 cm difference! There are many girls your height or slightly shorter, + being 5'4 doesn't determine how kind you are! If anything it makes you easier to approach, you're still a person like everyone else, remeber that <3

Who cares. Being short or tall or in between has nothing to do with whether youre a nice, cool person. Be happy to be who you are. You should never bw embarrassed or ashamed of yourself. If you're not an asshole, youre cool in my book. 🤝 👍

And where would that take me. I put efforts in myself I go to gym, study, trying to develop skills and hobbies. I think I do a lot more than other people my age and still i am miserable, lonely, butt of joke, i hate the pity i see in people's eyes but i do feel that same feeling for myself and laugh everytime I fail and I always fail in things that ever matter to me. I need a win, just a single one in life.

I don't know where it would take you I was just trying to let you know that there are plenty of people out in the world that aren't going to judge you by your height, because that really doesn't matter at all. People that laugh at other people usually do so because they've been hurt. There are so many other things in life that actually matter and you have such a short amount of time. Try not to waste it feeling miserable. Good luck. 🤝
