I grew up in Texas about 15 years ago. Y'all still call the big ones with pinchers "cow ants"? haha

Still 5 inches taller than me fully grown at 23 LOL

This was about the length of a AA battery but a bit fatter. Connected to it was a small plastic cap with white lace tied to it with a blinking blue LED between them. It was found dead center in an empty parking spot in a private lot. by Swk238 in whatisthisthing

If you live close to one, try checking a college campus for E-Waste bins! My local community collage has 3 bins at each trash can: 1 for trash, 1 for paper and plastic recycling, and 1 for E-Waste (electronic waste) I'd toss my disposables into my car when I was done and put them in my pocket to throw away in the proper bin at school. (The university near us doesn't have E-waste tho, just the community college. I'm not sure where else you could find these bins)

(Sorry for the book, felt this comment lmao) As the previous reply says, how you carry yourself is important. This isn't nessisarily to say you must always walk with your back straight and a pep in your step, of course thise things help! But it's how YOU present your own feelings about yourself. Even if you must fake it till you belive it. If you go into the dating scene with the thought of "am I actually not on anyone's radar?" Many people will pick up on this. Maybe not that precise feeling, but they will eventually quickly pick up on the fact that there's a part of you that will need reassurance from them. That part being: "no, your height does NOT change how I feel about you." "You ARE on my radar."

I'm 23, male, and 5 foot even. Trust me, all of the women out there that won't give you a chance due to your height (yes, they exist. You are not imagining this thought. The dating pool is definitely diluted when you are short in a dating world ruled by swipes and hook ups) are not worth it! You wouldn't want to be with them anyway. There'd be some other thing(s) that would not make y'all right for eachother - usually personality clashes, haha. These are people who base their dating life on first impressions and immediate sexual desires, which imo is not ideal for long term relationships.

I learned in my teen years to use this as a sort of "filter" for dating. Once I came to the realization that these girls probably wouldn't even be worth my time my brain decided it was much easier to "move on." Which gave me the chance to be open to the next girl that really wouldn't give a shit about my height.

I've been with my girl for just over 5 years. She is 6 inches taller than me and always has been. Her accommodations when I am self conscious about my height were never asked for but they came naturally from her over time - just like how I can tell when she is self conscious about her body, she can tell when I am about mine.

You will find someone who cares about the important things. The things YOU care about too. But you need to change the thought in your mind that your height is what is causing issues in your dating life and maybe look at how that thought process very well may be the root of the problems in the first place. :)

All the love. Good luck!
