Why being a short man sucks!

[Anonymous]

Short for a man is 5'6" and under. It irks me a little when guys who are 5'8" think they're short - do you know what I would give to be an inch below the average!? Tom Cruise may be short in Hollywood, but in the real world, he's in like the 35th percentile. Now, the list!

1. Girls

Girls don't like short guys, plain and simple. Unfortunately, it's very hard to avoid seeing all of the hateful comments. A lot of the time it's not just a lack of romantic interest, it's also a certain level of disgust. I don't know about other guys in my position, and although I have mostly moved past it now, reading all of those comments when I was 13/14/15 really hurt me - it may or may not have caused tears. It sucks, but it's true. It's also not something girls are embarrased to admit. It actually seems like it's something that they're proud of. There are things you can do to be more attractive, but you're always missing the one physical characteristic that girls seem to want most: height.

2. You will never be 'that guy'

You can be the most attractive short guy in the world but, you will never know the feeling of walking into a room and having all of the girls want you. You can do everything right: have good sense of style, be respectful, confident, funny, etc. - but then some random 6'4 guy walks into the room with flip-flops and a t-shirt and the girls are all over him.

3. Respect

Everyone assumes that the 'little guy' can't do it. If you want to get any respect at all, you will have to work twice as hard and show you're twice as good as the guy next to you - it seems like this applies to women sometimes too. You have to prove that you can do everything all the time... Which leads into:

4. 'Napolean complex' or 'little man syndrome'

To get anyone to take you seriously, you have to be confident and assertive. But the second that you do, everyone says you have a Napolean complex, and claims that everything you have ever achieved in your entire life has simply been to make up for your lack of height.

5. Weak

People tend to think short men are weak. I'm not sure about other short men, but this isn't the case for me. I personally don't mind proving people wrong, but it can be a little annoying when people just make assumptions. Even women tend to think that because they're taller, they're automatically stronger. Sorry. Not the case.

6. Clothes

No stores seem to stock clothes for short men. I don't think I've ever brought a pair of pants that didn't have to be hemmed.

7. Your feet never touch the ground when sitting

I always have to sit towards the front of a chair so that my feet touch the ground. It may be cute to see a girl swinging her legs in the air, but I just end up feeling like a little boy.

8. People assume you have a small dick

Girls seem to assume that short guys have small dicks. I'm not really sure why. Research disagrees and I can confirm that 100% of the penises I've seen attached to short men have been slightly above average - then again, I've never seen another mans erection, so my sample size is one.

9. "You're so short"

No! Really? I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.

10. Cute & adorable

Never hot or sexy. Always cute or adorable. Do not call an adult male adorable. Ever. We may be short, but we are still strong, proud men.

Why are you bitching and complaining for something that we already know. Society has already accounted into this. This is true.
You have choices:

A) live like this and do nothing at all.
B) Suicide.
C) live like this and do something.
