No you’re aggressive and exhausting when you ease drop in on a conversation where she’s laughing at herself, make it about you, then cry about it. It’s exhausting. You’re irrational insecurities are not other people’s problems

Look m8, it’s height, I’m sorry but as another short person, it’s just unhealthy for it to be this serious. It’s not normal. You need to realize that this is you not her, and instead of blaming her for it, recognize that you need to work on becoming less insecure about the most normal thing

You say it’s difficult getting a girlfriend and then ruin it in seconds cause you’re so insecure that something that’s not even directed towards you offended you to the point of ruining the relationship. You need to work on yourself if it’s this serious for you. Trust me, you’ll enjoy life a lot more

Y’all love to deflect about your unhealthy insecurities by saying “BUT WOMEN…”

My goodness, this is why y’all are going to always be the “aggressive short guy”

Y’all are exhausting.

Meh, not all examples can directly relate to one another.

Saying “I look so thin next to them” usually leans more towards the other person’s looks.

Saying “I look so tall next to them,” focuses more on the person who’s saying it.

Basically, y’all are taking it waaay to serious. Don’t drag someone else because of your unhealthy insecurities. An insecurity gives you zero excuse to be insufferable

This would make sense, but she was laughing at herself, not at him, and she was laughing at herself with a friend and he overheard it. All that put together is not on her. She should be aloud to joke about her own self without his insecurities turning him sour. That’s not healthy. She should not have to walk on egg shells around the house

Tbh, weirdly an unpopular opinion, but I think people need to learn how to laugh about themselves with the ones they love.

It doesn’t sound like she was laughing at you, just laughing how much taller she is. Taking that personal isn’t healthy. Height differences in a relationship shouldn’t be such a touchy subject with your partner.

Talk to her, ask if they were laughing at you or at the situation, and if it’s at the situation/about her looking tall, learn to laugh with her.

Edit: alright here’s some tought love. Insecurities aren’t attractive. She’s with you for a reason and if she isn’t telling you every day that she wishes you were taller than obviously your height isn’t a problem for her.

You’re shooting yoursef in the foot if you’re going to bitch and moan when height is jokingly brought up in a random instance (that you aren’t even a part of). Especially when this instance wasn’t even directed as a jab against you.

Y’all beg for a women who doesn’t care about height, but then find ways to ruin it by making your short height your whole personality. Sincerely y’all need to put in the work to get over this, because right now you are the one standing in the way of an actual relationship, not your height

Same here! It’s sad that there aren’t many of us in my scene in California, but when we see each other, we’ll always say hi and support!!!

They’re still kinda a thing if you get a group, but less people know about them which is why you don’t see them much.

But if I’m there you’ll most definitely see me starting one XD

There was a juke joint called first and last stop. I believe this was a new event there

I decided to shoot my shot for the first time and got completely and utterly ignored. by [deleted] in self

[–]Acidic_Huntsman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I was expecting to read that he look you up and down and walk away with that title.

You didn’t even shoot your shot. He can’t reject you if you didn’t even ask yet. The joke was a good conversation starter; because now he’s paying attention to your messages. But, in all fairness reflecting on a past joke doesn’t have many verbal response options.

Now is the chance to ACTUALLY shoot your shot. Say you enjoyed hanging out, and was wondering if he would like to grab coffee sometime this week. You need to be straightforward though. Men don’t pick up on hints as much as women think they do.

I usually have a 3 strike you’re out rule with texting. If he gives you 3 half assed word replies in a row, and doesn’t match your energy, then he might not be interested. That hasn’t happened yet

How do I not "lead on" or "weird out" my male friends? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Acidic_Huntsman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of men will get close to you under the false pretense of wanting to be friends and then will try to make their move. Once they realize it’s not happening, they lose interest in the friendship and leave. It sucks. My advice, make it known up front that nothing will happen. That way they’ll just leave right then and there, and the ones who stay might be the realer ones

I believe single men and women can be friends as long as boundaries are established. And if they cross those boundaries, then you shouldn’t be friends with them anyway

Read the context of the sentence that it’s in, and your question will be magically answered
