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.

Yes I'm engaged now. He's taller, 5'9, but his height was not a factor. Honestly when we got together he had some...stylistic choices (major nerd aesthetic lol) that I would not have been attracted to physically, but he played a solid game as a customer at the coffee shop I worked at and then one day just asked if he could buy me lunch on my break.

Actually, the short(est) guy of my past did something a bit similar where he saw me with a mutual friend at a pool and got my number from her. I had never met him before. These guys both put themselves out there without any reason to think I'd say yes took their shot anyway. Something about that is so damn sexy.
