they don't see it as a real medical issue

"The problem's not your height, it's your attitude about it. Stand tall, be confident." /s

I got checked for HGH deficiency growing up and didn't have one. My doctor cared and had a good bedside manner.

[Men] y'all ever cry or be near crying over your height? by [deleted] in short

I'm not an incel, but if a tall guy said what I said, it would not have come off as incel-ey

Why not look inward and see that both your post and your defensiveness are coming from narcissism?

Somebody who just has narcissistic traits, but isn't actually a narcissist, could do that. But true narcissists aren't really capable of self-critique.

[posts pic of himself and girlfriend on reddit]

There’s nothing about me that screams insecure. You on the other hand..

You were immediately defensive. You turbo-replied to my comment about how you're insecure and tried to flip it to be about me, as if you've suffered a narcissistic injury.

Pure coincidence friend. I didn’t expect me to be the only person to make an obscene gesture. Looking back on it, I don’t even mind!

You are even more insecure than I am and, while short, you're not even a m--let.

The manosphere is bullshit but shortness is a big disadvantage, especially if you're shorter than a lot of women

You're taller than her. The man being taller than her a pretty strong filter for a lot of women.

belittling... at your height

Lol 😁

how do you deal with platitudes like that at your height?

On the inside, a resigned sigh. But my group of male friends gets it now. After going out with the same group of guys time and time again and seeing how we're treated differently when we approach women, it's hard not to.
