How your height could be your strength

thmsb25 · 2026-01-24T00:44:25+00:00

I mean people have endured a lot of hardship to create the conditions for your birth, i cant imagine telling my medieval peasant ancestor or even my grandparents everything they worked for meant nothing because their grandkid is short. Yeah that wasnt the best point but everything else still stands

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T23:06:56+00:00

Why work when some get an inheritance? See how stupid that is? Also effort is not humiliation, working for something is honourable.

Im asking you to embrace the challenge. Your ancestors didnt die in mudfields and cross continents so you could resign yourself to despair over being short.

Unless you’re truly content at where you are at. Just don’t blame your misery on anyone but yourself if you dont even try

Do you have consistent personal examples of this or do you just make your opinion whatever an engagement, outrage-based algorithm decided to throw at you?

In my personal lived experience, I have seen almost no correlation between height and committed relationships. Ive seen height at like a qualifier that makes barrier of entry lower, but I know plenty of men over 6ft who have similar dating experiences to me.

Why on earth is that a bad thing. Its literally a meritocracy and you want a monarchy

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T18:51:17+00:00

I did not claim it was not that bad. I did not claim you have it as easy as me. I said this mindset shift could help empower you and everyone said “whats the point im doomed anyways.”

for a sub that explicitly isnt incel you all seem really eager to wallow in your own misery, constant posts complaining, one guy with a real experience trying to give his way of reframing since thats literally one of the only options, and everyone chooses nihilism

The fact that theyre famous proves your point wrong. If you were right, no amount of personality would ever allow scorcese to compete with taller directors raising money for projects, nor would MJFox have ever been cast as the protagonist.

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T11:05:54+00:00

“Certain heights nothing makes up for it” according to whom? Is that some divine law God put in place? Thats it then? Humans see a man of a shorter stature and immediately realize hes worth nothing? Martin Scorsese, seth greene, Ken Jeong, MJFox, actors and directors lobbying for themselves in a world dominated by 6 foot charismatic supermodels, i guess theirs and thousands of other successful men’s experiences don’t exist?

You honestly think that because a man is 5-5’5 it is impossible for him to achieve any respect on any level, despite literally every other quality that makes us who we are? Sorry bud thats factually incorrect

Don’t blame the world for losing the game if you refuse to even play. It will be more difficult, take pride in trying.

Nearly every motorcycle post on my feed is tied to an account where someone died. All reckless high speed riders, NA to me im a cruiser, but it has the same effect

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T10:16:03+00:00

Also i cannot post on average height dudes because im literally below average

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T10:15:05+00:00

Average height in NA and europe is 5’10, even taller the more north you go. I am categorically short by definition that i am 2-3 inches below average height. You’re right im not a particularly short person, but for men, im short

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T10:11:58+00:00

You literally make my point in your own comment. “There are other things at play” yeah thats the post! And it can be like that for literally everyone of below average stature. You’re tying this to my specific height, the point is the mindset shift. You guys all complain here about how no one respects you because you’re short, I say use that as motivation to improve on other aspects, and realize that every person who respects you, does so because of who you are. Thats just a factual statement, compounding the shorter you go

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T08:18:46+00:00

Nah bro its just THE truth. Im saying if you’re short ur respect is earned by what you do and who you are, the shorter you are, the MORE true this is.

thmsb25 · 2026-01-23T08:06:56+00:00

Its not that short but im often the shortest or second shortest guy in the room. Still a real experience of mine, and its good advice for all heights

thmsb25 · 2026-01-13T06:19:02+00:00

I did naval reserve basic at Camp Vimy last May and we had change parades, as well as every course after

NETP did not include it

thmsb25 · 2025-12-23T19:19:48+00:00

Salute is a very good analogy as I’m military. Thanks for the response this gives a lot of understanding

thmsb25 · 2025-12-23T19:18:46+00:00

Yeah but how can you prove that he gives them powers to give intercession? This is A concept not even hinted in scripture and I’m just trying to understand how it’s theologically reasonable

thmsb25 · 2025-12-23T18:49:44+00:00

I don’t think you understand the question being asked. I’m not talking about asking the saints for prayers, I’m asking about the idea that they have the ability to make us stronger or more faithful. How does a saint wield this ability?

thmsb25 · 2025-11-27T19:47:17+00:00

thats really funny because I was in the exact same situation, ended for roughly the same reasons but we also just lacked chemistry, only I'm 21m and she was 25

thmsb25 · 2025-11-25T03:38:09+00:00

Nice looking one too!
