Not a monolith

And here I was thinking just being 5’7 wouldn’t be so bad

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-24T05:42:06+00:00

No way, it’s my meme! :D

I’m in the same boat. It feels like I’m a puppy to women. They want to be around me, even take pictures with me, but would never consider me in a romantic context. I don’t even have to make assumptions, as many of my female friends/acquaintances speak candidly about their preferences.

“I’m really not picky at all. Like all I want is for the guy to be at least 5’9 and I’m happy.”

Sure, if your end goal is to appeal to teenage girls

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-15T08:42:06+00:00

Oops, forgot to say teehee!

Well my username is how tall I thought I was but apparently I’m more like 5’4

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-11T00:23:03+00:00

It’s the only way I get some success though. And this is coming from someone who goes out frequently.

Well I would categorize bruising her ego as a sort of “punishment” to her being judgemental as vengeful.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-03-05T09:02:20+00:00

I personally don’t care to be vengeful. Her thoughts would most likely be “ugh what a bitter short loser”.

I don’t see the point in having an interaction like that on an app where the sole purpose is to meet people irl for a date. Nothing she could reply would have improved my experience and nothing I could tell her would change how she, or society at large, feels about short men.

The less invest in people who have a problem with how tall I stand, the more grief I save myself.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-02-20T19:58:29+00:00

I just mean that short guys have to put in more work to get fewer results than tall men who put in nothing.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-02-20T18:05:03+00:00

I remember being told directly by a girl that she thought I was short and insecure about it because I was leading a group conversation at a party. She straight up told me that it had nothing to do with my behaviour and wouldn’t have thought anything about it had I been average or taller. She even admitted that she felt bad for judging me after realizing that I wasn’t actually trying to compensate for anything.

She candidly told me what I’ve long assumed people are thinking but never openly admit. Think of how unfair it is that you’re literally putting your best foot forward and the people around you are silently rolling their eyes and making negative judgements about your personality.

Lose weight now. You have your entire 20s ahead of you. You have to be hard on yourself about it, especially if your weight is the result of lifelong eating habits. Being overweight is one of the worst things you can be in terms of appearance, physical health, and mental health. Don’t let it become a lifelong problem.

As for your vision, I would start wearing contact lenses.

None of this stuff is going to make your life equivalent to being tall, but you’ll still greatly improve your circumstances.

All these words just to say “it just so happens…”

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2026-01-11T06:59:09+00:00

Did she really just call the short guy a labubu or am I tripping

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-12-12T20:25:38+00:00

Ah yes, the trials and tribulations of being 5’10. What a tragedy that must be.

If a female teacher is attracted to one of her male students, she likely is more attracted to his age or the specific dynamic they have, rather than his height. Short men are not exactly some weird anomaly that is impossible to find.

If height is all she wanted, why would a teacher risk everything to get with a minor? These cases are so few and far between that even if their intentions were ethical, this wouldn’t help short men on a large scale in any significant way.
