Idk seems like a her group thing. I’m 5’8 and am skinny so you would think I’d have problems but I’ve honestly had more women hit on me than the other way around. However, I have a good face and wear Harry Potter glasses so I appeal to girls that like nerdy smart guys. Also have a 5’4 Asian friend who slays because he is cute. The point of this is that women have a variety of tastes and large niches exist where a non conventionally attractive person can hold massive appeal.

Sad, imo. Either everyone should get clowned on fair and square, or no one should get clowned on for what they can't control.

I'm a short man, I had cancer in my teen years and cancer and chemo stunted my growth. I fought hard, and after high school I was in remission. I thought life would be happy, but I was wrong, as the years went on I struggled so much being a short guy, from getting rejected constantly, to being made fun of, to people not taking me seriously. Even body positive people crap on mens height. It was so painful, even more painful than the cancer to be honest. It's enough that I wish I never survived cancer, and it should have just took me out during my teens. I might have been cancer free but now society treats my height like cancer. I tried to be positive but it's just coping at this point. Now my cancer came back very aggressive, It's tearing my body, at best I only have a year to live and honestly I don't mind it anymore because the experience of being a short man is infinitely more painful than the cancer I had to deal with, now I can just finally rest and be free from the shackles of heightism.

I'm actually crying at your story, I'm sorry society wasn't kinder to you.

I'm 5'7, so right on the cutoff. I can tell you I've had multiple women who were interested in me and have said "I just wish you were taller" or "I prefer guys closer to 6 feet". So it can be a hit on confidence for sure. It's absolutely part of the reason I got into bodybuilding. I felt that having abs and capped delts would make up for me being short. And then I honestly fell in love with working out. So in a way, I owe my love of fitness to being short. I don't want to be corny and say "there's a always a brightside" because there really isn't. Life is cruel, the basic tenet of Buddhism is that life is suffering. So it's not necessarily about always seeing a positive, but about accepting the hand you've been dealt and understanding that there's nothing you can do to change it. There are just some things you cannot change, focus on the things you can change.

It is undeniable that I am short. I am 5'2". I never lie about it either, I own up to it bc it is true. I cannot hide or change this aspect of myself, and lying about it will only further awkward moments of ridicule and jabs at me. Despite being short and looking much like a 14-year-old with a beard, I still have the respect of everyone in my gym, men and women, and I have a lovely fiancee who I've been with for 3 years now and plan to marry next year. And this is because of what NH says at the end of his video: work on yourself and do NOT allow yourself to be your first and biggest hater. Don't internalize bs ppl say and make it part of you. Keep going, even if ppl joke to you at first to try and knock you down a peg. Prove to them that you have the mental fortitude to keep at it, whatever it is--gym, better attitude, martial arts, a team sport, a craft, etc. Self-improvement like this will help you let go of hate. Once you let go of that self-hate, you will notice ppl will approach you with a better attitude bc you are less angry and bitter. That is something that your body language almost always gives away, and that body language looks closed-off and insecure. If you want to be a "short king" and feel respected, then act like you are deserving of respect by first respecting yourself.

Do you think that’s why? I thought the height insecurity was only an American thing, but the more I hear about it the more unsure I am about the origin. I’m 5’9 as well and I never heard about people being insecure about height until I started to read reddits and comments on youtube videos, and now I’m starting to think that maybe the reason why I’ve never perceived height as being an issue is because I’m average height, so I’ve never been made fun of for it and I’ve never been complimented for it, but maybe it’s different for short guys. I remember in highschool joking around with a shorter friend about his height by, for example, putting my arm on his head and resting my weight on it, and at the time I thought of it as just having fun and being silly, but now I’m questioning wether his experience of it was to be more insecure about his height (although he never seemed bothered by it).

Its true. I have been 5'6 for almost a decade(turned 5'7 a month ago) but my height was never an issue to me. I actually(maybe wrongfully) was happy the doc said my growth plates were sealed in high school when I reached 5'6. Cuz i figured I could go ahead and lift heavier weights without fear of hurting my growth plates and being the cause of my own short stature. I reveled in lifting heavy. Got the short man swoleness, and was having alot of fun. I had a few gfs that were taller than me and my height was never used as a way to bully me by other men. It may have been a way to test my attitude, like a friend saying "you're so short" and id reply "im not short, you're just taller". Sure it would be cooler and more fun yo be tall, but in my mind, focusing on things I can't control is for women

Thank you for honesty NH. Most people are in denial about this, they will claim it is all about personality and confidence, specially women. There has always been a subconscious, moral judgment based on looks in society... and as you mentioned, it is only socially acceptable to point those out when it comes to manlets nowadays. I am 5'7" and I've always been smaller than most kids all my life, I am also particularly ugly. Working really hard on bodybuilding, being very good at academics and focusing on my career was my coping mechanism but nowadays all these things seem to fall under the paradigm of "toxic masculinity". It is very hypocritical that people will perceive hyper-productive tall/handsome men as "confident" and hyper-productive short/ugly men as "toxic" it really does come down to rationalization of biological responses. I'd say there's really no other option for people in my position than to be stoic about this. Can't succumb to slave morality, just accept that this is the way the world works and go do whatever it is that makes you happy. I have opted out from the dating game entirely and I have purposely become very asocial, simply because social dynamics seem to be based mostly on biological hierarchies. Instead I choose to spend my time lifting weights and working on my hobbies, I am happier now than when I tried my hardest to be likeable just to be looked down upon because of my looks.

When I first met my wife's twin sister's, she talked about how her Bf was 6ft3 (the fact that this was randomly brought up by her out of nowhere is already quite telling). I met him a few weeks later. He's shorter than me and I'm 6ft1. He's 6ft. Being the blunt and naive person that I am, I just flat out told her that he's lying to her. As an intelligent rational person that values honesty and transparency, in my head I'd envisioned (optimistically thinly hoped it would lead to) her confronting him about this and dumping the scummy idiot, because who adds 3 inches on? When you're a good height to begin with too... Anyway she just went straight into defensive mode and told me repeatedly that I was wrong. Fast forward 5 years and she doesn't trust him at all. He never lets her anywhere near his phone and she's pretty sure he's cheating on her. Who ever could have seen this coming? If only somebody would have pointed out to her that was lying untrustworthy scum years ago. Morals of the story: people who will lie about something as easy to find out such as their height are pathetic. They're untrustworthy and they're insecure. Just be you. Don't pretend to be something that you're not. Also, my sister-in-law is an idiot. P.S. Napoleon wasn't 5ft10. It is believed he was around 5ft5/5ft6, which was around average (or slightly below) height at the time. I think when he's referred to as being 5ft10, it's because that's today's equivalency for a European man.

I went from 162lbs out of shape… dropping to 135lbs and then building intelligently to 165lbs for a little over two years. I definitely am happy with some of the manlet visual advantages. I thought it would make a big different with how women perceive me, but I have found that is only observable infrequently. The behavior of men around me is much more noticeable. A good example would be if I hang out with a friend’s friend group, the dudes are much more likely to gravitate toward me and strike up conversation.

Im 5’3 but my outlook is that if you have a problem: If you can change it -> Change it If you can’t -> Then ignore it No point worrying about something you have no control over. Use the cards life dealt you to do the best you can. And maybe if it helps you psychologically, don’t think about it as if you’re disadvantaged - look at it like you’re playing the game on a higher difficulty level, thats all. And yes, its something that you cant control but that doesnt mean people arent allowed to discredit you for it. It might sound strange but say for example a girl doesn’t like you because you’re short, thats not shallow its just preference so while I don’t think you should try to “force” others to accept you, you should try to better yourself in every possible way you can. You can’t change others but you can change yourself. Whatever “weakness” you might have in life, though it may seem insurmountable you can still build around it. If you’re short like me then try to get a good education, physique, try to become financially well off, make an impact in the world, get close to God, try to become a better person. There’s SO MUCH that you can do, enjoy life. Don’t spend your years crying about a problem when theres a huge world out there to enjoy. And not to invalidate anyone’s problems, but for everyone there will almost definitely be someone who wishes they were where you are RIGHT NOW. So keep your head up and try and improve yourself as best you can ❤

This is gold. The bit about no one caring about your problems/oppression/whatever unless you ALSO fit into another category (i.e. a man AND gay, a man AND black) is really true. Whatever else you are has to overpower the fact you're a man before your problems counts. Also, where all woman have a certain innate value, only a small select group of man (the high value men) get all the power and care instead and have to ability to lord over everyone. This means the non-high value men and all the women are under the high value men... but the women just look up and see the powerful men doing bad but fail to see "the patriarchy" is hurting everyone, not just them. But because most men are invisible, the oppression doesn't factor in so it's just "men bad". Hopefully that made sense, trying to get this out after work but before the gym so I don't forget.

I'm 5'6 and my height was something that I got over when I was still in school. In my experience, while some men and women certainly had less respect for me because of that, there are so many other factors relating to how people perceive you (looks, body language, intelligence, humor, etc.), that I never actually felt that I was held back because of it in any social sense. I'm sure there were girls who weren't interested in me simply because of this, but my experience has overwhelmingly been that when you are strong in many other dimensions, people are in some sense forced to respect you. I cannot count the number of men who I've known as friends, acquaintances or co-workers who, despite being much bigger than me, were nevertheless somewhat intimidated by me on a personal level due to my intelligence, humor, and how I carry myself. I don't say it to brag, it's simply my experience.

As a 6' man, I have always found that shorter men have very interesting and fun personalities, maybe to overcompensate. Two of the shortest men I've known were actually two of the funniest and smartest men I've ever known. Taller men tend to have almost no personality for some reason, except when they the "gentle giant" archetype.

I'm 5'10, but the smartest dudes I've ever met have been short. My manager is 5'7, dude knows everything about hardware, it's impressive, one of my best friends is 5'6, dudes a fantastic artist and incredibly intelligent, I know a guy who's like 5'4 and has a photographic memory and a nearly psychopathic level of social competence and gravity. If you're short, hopefully you make up for it with extreme competence.

I am about 188cm tall and I never thought to myself that a short man deserves to be bullied because of his height. I also never thought to myself that I should respect a taller man than me just because he is taller. People who adjust their behaviour in accordance to the height of the man they are talking to lack an identity. Regarding dating preferences, thats true, I would not reject a woman solely on her height, but I would prefer my partner to be +-5 to 10cm relative to my height. Being able to look your partner in the eyes without doing neck extensions and flexions is pretty nice lol.

I'm 5'5 and it is basically life on hard mode. Everyone around you is an enemy and people see you as easy prey, not to mention you basically need to forget about women as they will not be into you (unless you have a model face or you're rich). You have to be tough to make it as a manlet, it's why I think the gym, stoicism and some kind of weaponry are necessary to even have a chance.

I seriously believe that this obsession with height (for expample you getting asked by friends of friends how tall you are) is a product of social media during the last years. Don't get me wrong: I 100% agree that being a short dude is bad, you are making tons of negative experiences you would not be making if you were taller, it is not fair and everyone should care a lot more about this issue. But honstely, I'm 5"9 and when I was in school (I'm 27 now, german) until like 18, NOONE of me and my friends even talked about our height, and I had many friends. It has never been an open issue. There were a lot of dudes who were slightly taller than me (like 5"10 to 6 foot or something), but none of us made a thing out of it. There definetely weren't millions of memes around the "public" internet except maybe on 4chan or whatever, but within the last 7 years it really blew up.

5'4 man here, although you make good points about the difficulity and disadvantages of being short there are certain things which are not true. You say that if you are short you are a chiwaua and you will be that way forever. From personal experience I can confirm to the very opposite being true. I grew up in a tough part of town which caused me to fight a lot growing up, after a while people automatically know you for being someone you cannot mess with. I never was someone to backdown and therefore all the fighting and struggle further enhanced my characteristics so despite being short I'm always respected everywhere I go, even when meeting new people. So yes, in order to get respect you need to be someone capable of putting fear in others and that is something that you CAN work on. As for myself, having a personality that does not allow me to take shit from anyone, a very deep voice alongside an intimidating face and body which I built myself is what brings me respect

It’s not impossible to gain respect but you really do just have to be meaner the taller guys to make up for it. Luckily as you grow up all you need is to have resting bitch face and big enough build to get basic decency at our height.

my father once told me about a buddy he had on a job that was known by a certain nickname which wasn't outright offensive but it wasn't a compliment either (can't properly translate). In most cases, it's just men getting along in the work environment, I bet everyone calls a friend by a nickname here. But when my father asked him about it a long time afterwards, if he actually liked the nickname, he told my my dad that deep down he hated it and it fucked him up a bit, but he couldn't say anything because it would disrupt the environment and the relationship that he had built with the guys over the years. Makes you think how much we, specifically men, overlook in terms of being aware of the emotions of our comrades, the manlet situation being one facet of this problem as well.

Being a manlet only made a impact on me because of woman. In the moment I removed woman from the equation (not becoming homosexual) trough celibacy my life has become insanely better. You guys can say it is copium, but I honestly couldn't care less. If you are younger than 20, you really shouldn't be looking for a woman, because you probably aren't good enough to be able to start a family (yes only look for woman when you want to start a family, and understand your responsibilities. Do not accept a woman that you think she is not virtuous enough to be the mother of your kids. Better off alone than in a bad relationship.)

I'm 5'10 and I think it just dawned on me why I was never insecure about my height despite some on the internet saying anyone sub6 is a manlet is because in my formative years I was always one of the tallest kids, I just stopped growing early around age 14-15. Since I luckily landed at a height that's slightly above average, I have never been treated poorly for it. In fact a lot of people probably consider me tall because perception of height is so skewed from inflation that a lot of guys my height are falsely seen as 6ft.

This is the kind of discussion that earns my respect. Honest, humble, straight to the truth. I'm 5'6" and have experienced completely bull**** levels of the discrimination you described. Ostracized, thrown in trash cans by big guys, sexually assaulted, mocked, disrespected, etc. As you said, the bullies (who are very common) commonly gaslight me by saying either explicitly or implicitly that I hate my height or have an inferiority complex or Napoleon complex or some nonsense like that. They intentionally try to piss me off just so I will get irritated and they can misconstrue my irritation as "proof" that I have one of those issues and feel insecure about myself. I also experience lots of disrespect and rejection from women who don't even know me and automatically have no interest in getting to know me. My exceptional intelligence, skills, and abilities are completely off the table as far as most people are concerned because they don't even care enough to find out. I'm also relatively strong, ambitious, and especially competitive but as you said these traits are usually perceived as inadequate attempts to compensate. People also talk crap about short men being hyper aggressive but completely overlook the fact they are the victims of aggression so much and have to learn to fight back against the discrimination. I know every time I have started at a new job I got bullied by new people that didn't know me yet and then they only stopped when I got aggressive. Then if I go to a new place I have to deal with it again and "prove myself" again. They only leave me alone after I show off and make them feel intimidated. This has been consistently true for many years now. This sucks @ss and I hate it. I do not like having to repeatedly "prove myself" through aggression rituals and power demonstrations. I don't like having to show off that I can outwork everyone just to be treated like a normal person. That said, it's a fact that I have to face even though I would never choose for it to be this way. I legitimately have to dominate the workplace just to be treated with a moderate level of respect from the men and women around me. Trust me, from my years of experience being bullied I can verify dominating the bullies is the only way they ever stop. The hardest and worst job I ever had was working the Tyson back dock in Grannis AR. The same guys that would tell me to kill myself and throw me in a trash can gave me high-fives and treated me like a friend after I demonstrated I could unload trucks faster than they could and hang more birds per minute on the poultry live hang lines. Unfortunately it took years of suffering and misery to achieve those feats because the big strong guys you find in those occupations are usually very good at what they do. It was physically impossible for me to match them in strength. I got lucky that my intellect was able to EVENTUALLY find ways to get ahead in a field based primarily on strength, stoicism, and sadism. I don't work there anymore but it's the best example of the worst period of my adult life. Even though I have had better jobs since then I have still been bullied at every place and the bullying never stops until after I outmatch the bullies in a way that truly impresses them. I'm sick of showing off. I'm sick of impressing them. I'm tired of having to overperform for minimum respect. The fact is I don't have a choice because the alternative is even worse. The alternative means getting treated like the scum of the earth despite all my personal qualities. Nobody ever guesses I could have useful or admirable qualities. The default assumption seems to be that I'm a useless, lazy piece of **** unless I shove enough special abilities in their faces like a dancing bear. That is the only thing that justifies my existence in their eyes.

Anyone who thinks looks don’t matter is in denial. Not the same situation as shorter guys, but I was overweight & out of shape most of my younger years. I don’t carry excess fat in a flattering way to say the least, plus I’m a mix of 2 nationalities that usually don’t mix. So being overweight & different looking overall made it difficult for me growing up. I was bullied and ostracized for the most part. Things only started to turn around after mid 20s when I got myself to the gym and cleaned up my diet. The more and more in shape I got myself, the more people started to treat me different than I ever experienced. Positive attention from girls, guys treating me with extreme respect, it’s crazy and I still feel suspicion whenever someone treats me nicely.

These responses prove your point so beautifully. NH feeds the pathetic persecution delusions of short men (and men who imagine they're short; really them mostly) and calls on the world to stop "denying" them, which he calls "hating" manlets. And in fact the more NH says shit like he doesn't respect manlets on sight, he thinks he can beat them up and they are not like real men to him, etc., the more they gratefully adore him as an ally who is sticking up for them, because that just validates their conviction that no one respects them. Twisted as that seems, this is how these men think; this is how you think when you do not crave respect but rather validation for your self-pity. Men really can sink this low.

Between 5’6” and 5’10” is a hard height to be as man. If you’re (I am) 5’8”/5’9” you’re the in the category of “a little short”. You’re not a short king at 5’4”-5’6” but you’re not tall either. What the phrase “a little short” literally means is that you’re not quite short but what it does practically is put “little” and “short” right next to each other which isn’t a good look. 5’10-6’ is “kinda tall” territory. Sure “kinda” takes the edge off of being simply “tall” but “tall” is still in play. 6’2”+ is indisputably tall. Once you hit 6’7” you’re a giant. A friend of mine is 6’8” and when we go out together it looks like a little kid hanging out with his daddy. It’s tough out there lads

I'm 5'6" and 20 years old. I could have been 5'7" or 5'8" if I hadn't been on fu*%ing antidepressants. Sometimes, I envy how people treat my taller friends. Even though I'm a dominant person and people can sense and respect that, there are times when they don't take me seriously. If it helps, I'd like to share a few things that have worked for me: Grow a Beard: I have a beard, and my friends don’t. People sense the testosterone, and I get the recognition and respect I crave. Without a beard, people try to intimidate me and stare me down. I learned the hard way that I always needed to stand up for myself, and now I've gained respect for myself. Avoid Disadvantageous Situations: I avoid situations that put me at a disadvantage. If you try hard, you'll realize that you could make someone guess that you are strong, but by putting yourself in a bad position, anything can happen. So avoid fights, even arm wrestling. Taller people have longer limbs, so don’t try to fight it. Build Muscle: Gain more muscle or even fat to appear broader. Even though my skeleton is narrow, I notice more respect when I bulk up. People don’t try to do me dirty as much. Act Confidently: Don’t do what people expect you to do. If someone tries to make fun of you, react like a man. People often look at short people like babies, so if you compensate with confidence and maturity, you'll gain even more respect because it highlights something unexpected. Dealing with Women: This one is tough. You can’t judge women for their preferences, so try to compensate in other areas-financially (even though I’m broke), with beauty, hair, muscles, etc. If you want to experience a one-night stand, the best chance you have is by using a 3-inch insole. Boom, from 5'6" to 5'9", and the problem is solved. In the end, you can’t change everyone’s minds. People are different, and even if you were 6 feet tall, you wouldn’t be perfect. People will try to put you down because it’s the first thing they notice. But at the end of the day, those people don’t matter because they treat you like shit. Just focus on the people who matter and try to date a woman who is your height or taller for better genetics for your future son.

Im 5'3 and live in Sweden and I never think about being short. All of the girls here are much taller than me but I have been with alot of swedish girls. All of them taller than me. Maybe its just that I grew up without reading all of the shit that's on the Internet but I seriously get more respect from people than some of my 6 foot friends because of my confidence. I might have developed my confidence as a coping mechanism but it is what it is. Stop reading that bullshit and try to be a confident short man. Fuck all of this blackpill nonsense.

5'8 checking in. All my life, I've been disrespected silently due to my height, and I chose to ignore a lot of it, however the pain of the memories were too great, and as a result I pushed it all to the dark recesses of my mind. I wanted to tell myself that it was my personality, my skin colour (black), my ugliness that made people disrespect me in particular ways, but it was my height. I get mogged daily, and as I came to realise my physical disadvantages I came to hate myself. So much to the point where I would self harm through masturbation and cultivating a porn addiction. I'm in the process of undoing all of that damage, and the self hate runs deep so it'll take a long time for me to be okay with myself. My height, however, is not my fault. And I should not allow the voices of the world dictate how I feel about myself. Its hard to make that switch, but I'm trying. Last year, I decided to get into martial arts. I took up kickboxing, lost a lot of weight, and competed once. I quit training seriously because of a heavy injury that came back after my first competition. Despite my height, the respect I had garnered from others in the gym was so weird to me, I never felt so loved. Felt like I was a part of something greater. It was my consistency to train and develop a hard mentality that saved me. I competed at 77kg, so every hard sparring session I was going up against much taller guys. And I was doing decently, I ain't no Volkanovski though lol. But I can fight, and that at least satisfies my inner masculine pride. I have that. I don't know if my body will allow me to get back into competing, but since I stopped, I've gone back to this dark side of myself. The self hatred returned, and I lost the value I saw in myself. I at least lost the fear of fighting taller men, but they will always hold that advantage over me, and it sucks because as a short man I have to prove myself in every area just to be SEEN as somewhat equal. With women, it's no different. I'm talking to a girl who's taller than me, 5'11, beautiful and ambitious. I want it to go somewhere, but I know how women think and act. There will always be someone better, someone greater than I. It sucks, but I know now that I cannot hate myself for something I cannot change. It's not my fault, and I won't blame myself for it. I have to protect myself mentally from the darkness of my own mind. Things can make a turn for the worse, and I won't be able to stop myself from further self damage if I don't accept what I am. So I will try to love myself. Every day. If things go well with this taller girl, and we develop a deep and loving relationship, I would definitely have children with her just so her height genes can pass on. I don't want to be the reason my potential kids hate themselves. That being said, to all my fellow short brothers, we have to push on, lift each other up and fight against this world, against this society, tooth and nail. Just so we can live, and breath another day.

Beyond brutal, you're going to keep getting mogged by this world no matter how hard you try. If you want to raise the white flag and give up, I am with you on this one, you had a hard enough life already, and it is okay to throw in the towel and give up on women. It must suck being 5'8 as a man you're literally 2 inches below the average height for your demographic because you said you're black, and 5'8 I am assuming that you're young, and the average for a young black man is 5'10. This is beyond brutal that you're 2 inches shorter than average, no man is going to respect you, because of that, and they are all going to look down at you with pity, and think you're some abomination, because of that. Short guys have it the worst, and I can totally relate to the feeling of helplessness as I am 5'11.5 and that is just short for a white guy, as the average white guy is 6'5 with a chad jawline and perfect A10 hunter eyes in the country which I reside in. It has never begun for me, I am getting mogged everyday by all of these chads, and women give me looks of disgust!. I feel like roping every single day, because the mog never stops, not to mention I am literally a turbo manlet where I live, and a lot of women are taller than me!

Interestingly enough, I have always been 1 of the 2 or 3 taller guys growing up until college. I'm 6' and was often bullied verbally but not physically. For perspective, I was considered one of the smart kids that stayed out of trouble. The irony is that it was usually the shorter guys that had the bigger issues with me. Never was a ladies' man, more nerdy than anything. I have a close friend I met in college who is like 5'5 at best. Never once have I heard him complain about his height. When we would go out he was usually the one getting more attention from women 😆. Granted for most of our friendship I was either in a relationship and now married.
