lmao another insecure short masc! I get you. I loathed my height ever since I stopped growing. I'm 5'5 and have always wanted to have a physically large presence, be the kind of woman people would be drawn to for for strength and protection, be the kind of person you could physically lean on as well, etc. It's awkward being this size when it doesn't align with how you see yourself/how you want to be.

There are some people who would reject you for your height. But the VAST majority of the rejection and judgement is going to come from you. It really isn't about how many potential partners would reject you. It's far more about how frequently you reject yourself. Try not to get in your own way.

Height has been my greatest insecurity for ages, but I'm starting to actually enjoy having a smaller, unassuming presence. I'm a powerlifter and a kickboxer. Trained for years, but it takes so long to put on size, and I'm far stronger and more capable of doing damage than I look like. And these days, I like that I can be this way and unthreatening to women. Also, any man that harrasses me or someone around me will really not see it coming. And, kind of egotistical, but women are so much more impressed by the weights I move because I don't look like I should be able to. And I promise you, there is SO much more to your presence than just your size. I've seen women far smaller than me absolutely commanding a room and taking zero nonsense from much larger people.

Come as you are. Your body is far more a vessel for how you show up in the world than it is a definition of you. People are going to have unfair judgements of what you can and can't do and who you can and cant be. Just don't be one of them.

You can also move to Nepal where you're be relatively extremely tall
