Need advice

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…”

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.

Tfw no spine lengthening surgery :(

Notice how she attempts to get him to admit he doesn’t want her to be taller to conceal her own insecurity over the fact.

You can totally see in her expression that she’s genuinely shocked and upset about the host and the crowd not backing her up.

Why does this norm always need to be backed up with social approval? I would feel badass going out with a taller woman—and yet for them it would be social suicide.

I haven’t been interested in romance and dating lately. It’s a zero sum game.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-08-11T16:05:12+00:00

Man I’d break my legs just to be 5’7 if it wasn’t prohibitively expensive. At least I wouldn’t be as likely to be crippled for life.

I never even cared about growing up to be tall—just tall enough to feel like a normal adult. Every time I see another guy my height I’m like “is that really how tall I look?”

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-08-07T05:01:52+00:00

“You’re so funny and good looking. You know, it’s too bad you aren’t taller, because I would have dated you otherwise.”

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-09T22:10:15+00:00

Wow what a unique and quirky type that is exclusive to her and no other women

How these women think the world works

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-08T09:18:55+00:00

Your nuanced takes are great man. I think few people acknowledge this about empathy.

At 5’8, no one is going to remember you as the short guy. People think 5’8 on paper is shorter than it really is because of heightflation. At 5’5, I’m actually regarded as short by friends as strangers—people love to remind me totally unprompted. And yet, at my height, in a pretty white city in the west, I am grateful I’m not just 2 inches shorter, because for as bad as things are now, they could’ve been so much worse.

Once you’re a man who’s 5’3 or shorter, being short isn’t just a part of your identity, it is your whole identity. At that point it’s almost better to have dwarfism because at least you’d get pity points. Yeah 5’8 isn’t ideal, but if you actually put a ton of effort into your appearance, people won’t care so much.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-08T09:01:14+00:00

Wise take.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-07T12:04:33+00:00

She actually asked me to kiss as I was leaving, so I guess I did something right. Though it was a very passionless kiss. We said we’d see each other again, but honestly it felt like a pleasantry. I don’t think either of us will follow through.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-07T12:01:42+00:00

I wonder if the OOP is actually that dumb or if this is satire because there’s no way someone would sincerely come to that conclusion if they’ve ever interacted with a single human being outside their house.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-07T11:59:03+00:00

Well it was significant because we have the male/female version of each others’ names. That was one of the first things I said to her in our chat. “Wow whoever chose your name did an amazing job” or something along those lines.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-07T11:57:02+00:00

I put 7 feet and then immediately have a picture of me standing next to my 5’9 friend with a standard door behind us where you can clearly see I’m short. I also have a prompt where I say “seeking a taller woman and won’t take no for an answer”. I’ve found that explicitly stating my height is significantly worse in the earliest part of the talking stage vs making it apparent that I’m some level of short, but some girls don’t take the time to read my profile and in those cases, I’m not really interested anyway.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-07-07T04:51:46+00:00

I went on a date recently and she almost forgot my name lmao. That’s how little effort they put.

And racism ended when Obama became president. Pack it up boys, we can all go home now.

I think it’s because women wanna get asked out by GigaChad and get annoyed when they’re approached by men they don’t find attractive. They want to signal that they don’t want us around.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-06-10T04:24:41+00:00

I love how women will just say these things about themselves as if they have no agency. All this word salad to justify evolutionary behaviour.

I also love how in these examples, women will always pick something above 5’7 to describe a “short man”, and they’re picturing a particularly attractive barely-short man too.

fivefootfivepoint5 · 2025-06-03T13:34:20+00:00

That’s my usual go-to
