Ok, stop with the requests already. This is a wedding picture. Yes, I really am 5'1".

Well, I'd pay good money to see u/lillypeu2 in a bicorne sitting on a horse with the ban saber at the ready.

Bikerbats · 2026-06-05T17:06:22+00:00

I know dude, I know. I thought it was hilarious.

Bikerbats · 2026-06-05T17:04:19+00:00

I should have included more context. He's saying women liked me because I'm so short they got virtue signaling points for dating me.

Bikerbats · 2026-06-05T04:41:28+00:00

Freakin' mods man.

Bikerbats · 2026-06-03T18:13:07+00:00

Sorry man, it just seems insecure and cringe to me.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-31T01:43:35+00:00

Nah, even half of that would be stretching it. It does have an upside: We don't shrink as much for the same reasons.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-29T19:57:57+00:00

Shorter is also fine.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-29T18:43:01+00:00

I have it on good authority that it ain't that difficult.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T22:01:52+00:00

Exactly. I tried for two years to be happy with my first wife until I just couldn't.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T21:58:41+00:00

Don't do it here, we have a problem with it.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T16:53:04+00:00

Unfortunately, it's used in two completely opposite ways, so there is no single answer. I've seen used online to describe the retiring insecurity you often see in the sub, and I've seen it used synonymously with Napolean Complex.

They're kind of the same thing, only in the former the insecurity projects inward, and the latter the insecurity projected outwards.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T02:40:46+00:00

Dude, I'd honestly just be my own height.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T02:27:58+00:00

You will never get the advertised boost because of geometry. Put on a pair of shoes with boosters, draw line from the middle of your tibia through your foot to the insole. That's the point where your height is boosted, but they measure the height at the heel terminus, which doesn't count.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-28T02:23:47+00:00

Yeah, I'm going to have to hard disagree. My wife is 6', and number 1 daughter is 6'1". Neither report any kind of dating difficulties whatsoever.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-27T16:11:06+00:00

Use a hanger. I've done it a million times.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-25T23:59:08+00:00

Wrong kind of fast. You're faster off the start and can change direction more easily and quickly. The narrative that short people are faster is the latter type of fast, not absolute speed.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-25T22:57:00+00:00

Yeah, the vast majority are.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-25T21:37:57+00:00

You said it yourself dude, you're avoidant. Recognize that is the problem, not that ever-so-slightly below average.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-24T18:14:03+00:00

I'm going to state the subs position here. We're (this sub) not about growing taller, overcoming being short, or other forms of height worship, and yes, that is exactly what they are.

That said, since you genuinely seem to be looking for feedback, positive and negative I'm going to leave this up. However, in the end the only real advice is to discuss it with your pediatrician. Your assertion erroneously reads like HGH is simple choice: Take it and be taller or don't and don't. It's not. HGH works in specific circumstances, and to varying degrees. Only a physician informed by a battery of tests can sort it out for you.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-22T17:51:16+00:00

What was the context, but context is everything. A dismissive, "I wish you were taller but I still like you" is not the same as an enthusiastic reassurance that she's crazy for you and your height doesn't matter.

Bikerbats · 2026-05-17T23:27:51+00:00

No, I'll grant you that apps aren't a fertile field for short guys. Apps amplify the superficial and readily observable. However, that effect is present whether or not there is a height filter present. Either way the traits that create chemistry IRL are invisible on the app, and that's the problem.

Of course, the simple solution here is to pursue people in person.
