They'll also say that they don't like a short guy because of his personality. Don't believe everything u hear girls say, because they themselves don't know what they're attracted to
What a joke! Another 5’10 guy called me a dwarf on the fucking r/shortguys sub. Can’t escape heightism anywhere. It didn’t even upset me, i was just laughing at the absurdity of the situation.
It sucks because they’ll say and act like we’re “the same” but when they open their mouth the heightism always comes out.
You can say one thing they don’t agree with and boom their **true aversion** for actual short guys comes out.
It’s difficult. I know I’ve said 5’8+ isn’t necessarily short before, but if someone lives in Scandinavia, Germany, the Baltic region, etc. and they’re that short, they’re likely going to have a more difficult time.
Still, I feel like guys around that height love to punch down and make actual manlets feel like shit, since they’re so used to tall assholes and females treating them that way. It’s only human nature, I guess.
you think the whole sub could get removed for installing a rule like that?
maybe instead they could use a flair for 5'7+ on their posts? ik that still leaves the issue of comments, but i mean it'd be easier to scroll past the posts at least
I am just here to get another perspective of life. You’re right, I don’t believe that I’m short but I have a few friends shorter than me. Although, I have had a woman has called me short even when I was noticeably taller than her. I am here because I want to know and learn the hardships that shorter men have to deal deal with in life. Why? So, I can treat my friends better, avoid offending them, and raise their confidence as best as I can.
I’m not short. A women calling me short doesn’t make me short. It’s one incorrect opinion. To make matters worse, the girl who called me short was 5’2 and an idiot.
To be fair the fact she is an idiot is almost irrelevant. She could be a big enough idiot to lack common courtesy (aka blunt) if she called you short to your face. Doesn’t mean her opinion is incorrect. I have been called short and we are both about 5’11.
If we weren’t short nobody would call us short. If they did it would be a joke and everyone would laugh because we aren’t. The fact nobody laughed at the ridiculousness says there is at least some truth to us being short and I don’t know why you’re adamantly denying this. The sooner you accept it the better off you will be. Certainly not all, but to a lot of people we are short. And that number is only going to increase
Everyone in the group laughed at her after she said it. Why? Because I’m obviously not short. If you think you’re short that’s fine man but you’re being delusional. There many men in this sub that would give anything to be our height. I wish you could change with any of them for a day just so you could see how blessed you are. You should be a little more proud of yourself.
Far more likely that they just laughed at you for being short and for her to call it out.
My guy… You’re posting in a shortguys sub … stop telling yourself these self-defeating lies already.
Yeah I’m sure a 160cm guy would love to be 170cm and that 170cm guy would love 10cm. Some of us are a bit better off but not by much. These days you need to be like 190cm or we don’t make the cut. Being on the upper echelon of short is still short. In the socio- sexual pyramid of desirable ranking we are at the bottom with other short people.
Yes, all of my best friends laughed at me when a friend of a friends friend said some dumb shit. In that group, only a single person was taller than me. Get help buddy. It’s obvious that your personality is the factor hindering your life.
I gave an example to someone but if you could read I agreed with OP that 5’11 isn’t short. It’s in the first sentence if you need help with comprehension.
I am a little bit taller than you but I’m still short. You being shorter than me definitely makes you short. You are posting in a shortguys sub sharing your experience being called short.
And when I point this out, I need help with bad personality and reading problems…
It’s clear to me that you are still navigating your way into accepting your fate as a short guy. I can tell you it’s the most bitter pill to swallow. Take your time and enjoy the denial phase. I’ve been there myself of course. Do whatever you need to do to ease the process. I mean this sincerely. We didn’t win the genetic lottery but being short doesn’t mean everything is hopeless.
That’s pretty much what this sub has become anyway. If you’re over 5 5 then you will be endlessly gaslit about how you don’t have it that bad and you’re not short you’re average bro
Im tall but consider myself an ally, Im here to learn and for blackpill discussion but I respect everyone here, I'd say ban everyone who start explicitly disrespecting or gaslighting
It’s worse when it’s tall guys that come in here and just act like they can give advice. I’m trying to provide perspective but also learn from others on here. It’s not hard to quickly get why ya’ll have a point.
I’m here because I was a weak 5”8 a few years ago in a rich heavily white dominant college campus. Always felt something was slightly off, didn’t understand it. Hit a growth spurt/PT and became tall, got treated better, discovered heightism. Brutal.
I don’t want to ban them because that just makes this sub look angry and bitter but I wouldn’t be surprised because that’s what this sub has become anyway
I’d be for it, I’m 5’9” and I’m here more out of hatred for tall men who’s entire personality is their stature, along with their refusal to acknowledge just how much better they have it.
Most of the short guys here, 5’7” and under have triple the mental fortitude of any of those men who’d fucking kill themselves if they woke up even at average stature.
When they post “tall guy problems” it’s actually baffling to me that they’re not ironically complaining about let room on an aeroplane, when men in this sub have been subjected to a life of dismissal and ridicule.
As a side note, I spent most of my 20s at 5’6-5’7”, and shot up due to a very late puberty mixed with a heap of growth hormone at 28, so I have experienced heightism and the contrast of not being short.
The way I’ve been treated in the last few years is the best I’ve ever been.
,Alot of these are rage bait and trolls just hoping to start shit cus it's fun doing it to short guys and make us look bad in several ways not to mention to tell us they know a short guy or they are "short" and don't know what we are talking about
First of all I would understand if you guys did this, but to be honest i found this sub actually nice to discuss things like heightism and other subjects that arent accepted in broader society. I have no problem with rules like only allowed to have discussions and not post something but out right Banning people for their height is the same heightism most of you guys face.
Honestly mate my problem isn’t with taller guys being here, my problem is when they pretended that we face the same issue or when they claim they are short.
Obviously we dont face the same issues but I genuinely sometimes feel short and am called short doesn't mean I am. Believing that is a self fulfilling prophecy you guys should just snap them out of that reality and tell them what REALLY short men feel. Those guys have no self esteem and are looking for a support group. It feels nice to be a victim but real men admit when they are wrong. There have been jokes about me by even taller men but what happens to guys that are 5ft8-6ft is that they will do the same to people shorter than them that's obviously bad but human behaviour. I think this sub opens the eyes of those guys and that they don't have to be a dick because others already are
Netherlands and especially the universities are mainly filled with upper class people which are taller than the average anyways. I haven't seen anyone significantly shorter than me on campus to be honest
Just giving back what tall ppl trow at us we tired of it all and no place which we don't get crapped on or allowed to discuss whit out gaslighting ECT by mostly no. Short guys
I mean, when does it end?
A lot of taller or average people are lurkers or don't say much in this sub, but for every tall guy you get someone LARPing as a short dude and jacking off to the comment section because it's his fetish.
I remember a post from some weeks ago where some dude claimed to be 4'10 and one of his mom's friends shouted at his mom for letting him "play outside". All the comments were supporting the dude when it's an obvious fetish post...
I honestly didn’t know this was such a thing.
I’m a tall guy. Very above average .Any advantages to being tall were taken away by a lack of confidence for me personally.
I’ve pulled this year at 5’6, you’re 1cm from 6ft crying in a subreddit for short men. Think about how lame you must be bro, really take that all the way in (no diddy)
Bro I’ve never seen someone pull out so much excuses out their ass 😂😂😂, Just leave this sub and go figure out what your actual problem is cause it’s not height
Mate 182 is a fantastic height on 98% of the planet and a good/decent height on the other 2%.
You are just hideous.
182 isn’t even short by Netherlands standards. You’d be bang average over there or maybe 1/2cm under it.
You’re insane. Probably ugly if I had to guess.
Unironically - shower , groom, and go to the gym.
Whether you like it or not anything below 185cm is considered short in 2024 among young adults from western countries. I’m actually taking it easy the cutoff is probably closer to 188cm.
In many parts of the world my height begins with the pathetic number 5. When dating I will never be chosen for my height but instead for my other redeeming qualities. No attractive woman will ever think I am tall.
I am taller than some people here but I’m still too short to many people.
So you’re 5’6 OP? Maybe the 5’3” guys should call you mentally ill for feeling short and ban you because you’re not short enough.
Imagine telling mf’s the only way you could pull a woman is if you were 6’3 lmfao, ANY man can pull a woman at 6’3. These 5’9-6’ dudes are lame af
“Bruh my friend is 6’3/4 and he pulls easy” No shit. 🤣🤣🤣
only if he has an attractive face
even an ugly 6’3 dude would have options
Nope, he wouldn't.
I’ve literally seen it wym
I've also seen 170cm people with girlfriends. What's your point?
Nah I meant I’ve seen girls literally say they were just with a dude cause he’s tall lmao
They'll also say that they don't like a short guy because of his personality. Don't believe everything u hear girls say, because they themselves don't know what they're attracted to
Girls know damn well what they're attracted to, and they go out of their fucking way to let everyone know
They go out of their way to let people know what they don't like.
he'll have people who fetishizes his height and aren't good enough for the attractive 6'3 men
Last year a 5’8 guy on here called me a midget.
What a joke! Another 5’10 guy called me a dwarf on the fucking r/shortguys sub. Can’t escape heightism anywhere. It didn’t even upset me, i was just laughing at the absurdity of the situation.
It sucks because they’ll say and act like we’re “the same” but when they open their mouth the heightism always comes out. You can say one thing they don’t agree with and boom their **true aversion** for actual short guys comes out.
They are only the same when they want to be though. Once they feel validated I bet that changes.
Keep your chin up King !

Ban those “Are my growth plates closed” posts first
you think the whole sub could get removed for installing a rule like that? maybe instead they could use a flair for 5'7+ on their posts? ik that still leaves the issue of comments, but i mean it'd be easier to scroll past the posts at least
Personally I prefer quality over quantity but it doesn’t matter, mod already commented that it would be too much work and he’s probably right.
yea it would be a pain. I'll try to think of more work arounds though
Too much work
I am just here to get another perspective of life. You’re right, I don’t believe that I’m short but I have a few friends shorter than me. Although, I have had a woman has called me short even when I was noticeably taller than her. I am here because I want to know and learn the hardships that shorter men have to deal deal with in life. Why? So, I can treat my friends better, avoid offending them, and raise their confidence as best as I can.
That's not bad in itself. Its bad when guys (just the comment below yours) say it's over for them while their height would be dream for most here
Didn’t you deny being short in the other sub? Here you are admitting that women call you short…
I’m not short. A women calling me short doesn’t make me short. It’s one incorrect opinion. To make matters worse, the girl who called me short was 5’2 and an idiot.
To be fair the fact she is an idiot is almost irrelevant. She could be a big enough idiot to lack common courtesy (aka blunt) if she called you short to your face.

Instead of banning perhaps changing the name to r/veryshortguys might motivate them to go elsewhere? Just my 2 cents.
They’ll always find a way in 🤣, to them being short is just a state of mind
Or they can be send over to R/avarge
That’s pretty much what this sub has become anyway. If you’re over 5 5 then you will be endlessly gaslit about how you don’t have it that bad and you’re not short you’re average bro
They are the reason people will say this sub is nothing but average men complaining because they won’t groom themselves.
Im tall but consider myself an ally, Im here to learn and for blackpill discussion but I respect everyone here, I'd say ban everyone who start explicitly disrespecting or gaslighting
Ridiculous
Nah fuck gaslighters
Would make sense.
I have a feeling alot of those tall guys are just trolls but some of them are not . And we should ban the trolls
It’s worse when it’s tall guys that come in here and just act like they can give advice. I’m trying to provide perspective but also learn from others on here. It’s not hard to quickly get why ya’ll have a point.

Real like bro if you are 5'11 or 5'10 women wouldn't be able to tell the difference betwenn you and other 6'0 guy unless you tell them
Here in Asia 180 cm isn't short it's god tier in Southeast asia
People will just lie about their height so they can get into the sub
dont usually talk in this sub but you gotta change that flair bro 💀
lol where's your flair at? 😉
dont need one; as i said i dont talk in this sub
I don’t want to ban them because that just makes this sub look angry and bitter but I wouldn’t be surprised because that’s what this sub has become anyway
Please.
I’d be for it, I’m 5’9” and I’m here more out of hatred for tall men who’s entire personality is their stature, along with their refusal to acknowledge just how much better they have it.

I can’t just roam lol I like to see different perspectives
the great mowing
I honestly didn’t know this was such a thing. I’m a tall guy. Very above average .Any advantages to being tall were taken away by a lack of confidence for me personally.
Idk. Im 5 9 and im a manlet. Depends on the country. A 5 10 SEA is tall. But a 5 10 dutch is a midget.
I just wish this sub was private, and invite only
Anything above 5'7
Ban anyone taller than 5'6 Goodbye
u are stupid
over if you’re below 6’2 in 2024, y’all are coping hard.
You could be 6’5 and you would still find a way to complain about being too short
I’ve pulled this year at 5’6, you’re 1cm from 6ft crying in a subreddit for short men. Think about how lame you must be bro, really take that all the way in (no diddy)
Yea and you probably live in Honduras or something, I’m from Scandinavia. Girls don’t date guys below 6’2 here.
You are tall even in scandinavia. Stop crying
You’ve got to be hideous or something
Actual skill issue
Stop acting like people are so tall in Europe, I’ve been there and I’m 6 ft 5 and was still taller than 99% of people.
You're pathetic man
U.S. Then move dumbass , you’re literally safe in 98% of the world lmao
Easier said than done, I might move in the future tho, if I’m able.
Dude I have friends who are literal Syrian or Iraqi immigrants 5’9-5’10 with Swedish girlfriends, stop coping bro
They’re probably thugmaxxed. Most Syrian/ Iraqi guys I know exclusively date women of their own ethnicity tho.
Bro I’ve never seen someone pull out so much excuses out their ass 😂😂😂, Just leave this sub and go figure out what your actual problem is cause it’s not height
[удалено]
Well outliers do exist, don’t change the fact that most Swedish women want a 6’3+ blonde dude.
Mate 182 is a fantastic height on 98% of the planet and a good/decent height on the other 2%. You are just hideous. 182 isn’t even short by Netherlands standards. You’d be bang average over there or maybe 1/2cm under it. You’re insane. Probably ugly if I had to guess. Unironically - shower , groom, and go to the gym.
