Thanks for the advice man. I'm a balding 5'11 man and right now I'm really struggling to just wake up and keep going with my life (depression, social anxiety, failure in career...I'm 35 rn and still can't get a stable job). Your positive attitude gives me a push to not give up. One day at a time right?

I used to think I was ugly because I was Asian, but then I realized that it was just bullying that made me feel like that, now I realize Asian men are the most handsome men around, even the short ones. Which is why I've had swag my whole life!

[@jacksewe123]

Embrace your race, embrace your height!

[@kagepoker]

I'm short but I forget about it unless I stumble upon videos like this then I remember lol. I'm not insecure about it fortunately. I'm smart and doing well so I guess that could be it. But honestly I think it's because I saw quadriplegics and limbless ppl out there who are doing their best and are happy. Therefore I feel and think I have no right to complain over such trifles and honestly forget to even think about it. It gives you a deeper perspective on life. Time and freedom are much more important. If you have these, you should be happy.

[@jacksewe123]

@@kagepoker same here! Sometimes there are certain triggers that make me think about me short height. However I get over it very quickly, because I think about how grateful I am for the things I do have.

[@blahblahgdp]

It's perfectly normal since usually when people talk about height, it's in a negative light. But the way you deal with it that matters and I'm glad you're not letting it dictate you

I think what you have to do, just like all things you cannot control, work with what you got to the best of your abilities and don't ever let the thoughts of being short be an excuse. Be realistic and forge ahead. Superficial girls who don't want to date short guys are girls you don't want to marry anyways.

[@jacksewe123]

@@anthonyju6392 I agree totally!

[@berlinisvictorious]

@anthonyju6392 What a weak defeatist philosophy right here, as someone with Nietzschean background, I totally disagree. Height matters, if you are short below a certain threshold, you won't be considered attractive physically whatsoever. If you don't accept this you can continue to delude yourself, but do not spread this mindset to your fellow short men, who are struggling already and you are just gaslighting them. You don't go away from your problems, you stand up to them and solve them.

[@jacksewe123]

@@berlinisvictorious I agree height and looks matters. Sometimes I wish I could be taller. But the important thing is to not sulk about it all the time, you gotta work with what you have

[@anthonyju6392]

@@berlinisvictorious Did you just respond to a response that you thought you read? Because your response doesn't even make any sense. So you let being short be an excuse to why you fail at things? You're the one presenting a defeatist attitude by convincing yourself that you failed before you even tried.

[@berlinisvictorious]

@@anthonyju6392 You do not understand my argument at all. I was short, and instead of just whining and coping online like you do, I took time and pain to change that permanently and fix it once and for all. I underwent 2 quadrilateral limb lengthening surgeries over consecutive 2 years period. You did nothing to solve your problems.

You're using the ideal height from countries that can already be considered outliers, when calculating global average height "Ideal height" isnt even a relevant term because it isn't the actual median current height people who are eurocentric as you say.
