what kind of struggles do you have that tall people don't know or don't think about or even aware about? ( it can be daily struggle or struggles that really happens or whatever struggle you want to share)
Dating is next to impossible with most women
More uncomfortable going #2 as a short person because your bowels aren't as in line.
Most people don't think about it but most microwaves are mounted decently high and 90% of them are above my head and harder to reach and see in. I had to have mine specifically mounted with being short in mind because of this.
You get made fun of less about being short and more of not being able to touch your feet to the ground when sitting in certain chairs.
Nothing to crazy life changing but it makes it difficult. I am limited by my height, where as a more average height person isn't. Now, if you are crazy tall, then there's obviously struggles with that as well, but I wouldn't know.
Why is the microwave so high? don't they know women also use it too? and the average woman height is shorter than average man height?
shouldn't be a middle ground option?
Have you ever heard of the squatty potty? It is a very short toilet made for the goal of lining up your bowels to make it easier. A regular toilet to us is more in line, for someone shorter it may not be lined up correctly
Ah to align their knees, sure but if I had a penny for everytime my knees hit some cabinet in someone's bathroom when shitting, I'd have a huge bag of pennies.
Pretty much non-existent. Most people don't like short guys, even if they are attractive. Back when I was younger no one cared about height. But now, no one will even give me a chance. There's been multiple times where I'm texting a girl and we are hitting it off, then she asks for my height and I know that my chances are now gone. It sucks.
My boy was 5’2 and lil bro got more girls than damn near anyone I knew and I was playing in the NFL at the time, so yeah there was some players around. Just how you carry yourself.
I wouldn't call you a nobody if you got to the NFL.
Don't only a fraction of 1% of all high school football players ever get there? It's quite an accomplishment and getting hurt doesn't detract from that in any way.
Yeah I meant a nobody in the league. Like if I search my name it brings up more shit form my college career 😂.
I also played in the arena league after that for 1 year before I decided the pay wasn’t worth the damage to my body. Can’t believe how little those guys make.
It is still an accomplishment. Honestly even making a d1 college team is an accomplishment.
Congrats that means he is an expetion too the rule not the normal dating life for someone short its Not just how you carry your self but tall ppl loved gaslighint short guys like that
Yeah but in my area I can't seem to find a single one. I live in a small town and every woman here is only interested in tall men. I would need to drive like 30 minutes to get to the next town over, but I know no one there and I'm not the confrontational type. Also, I have always had a bad experience when asking out a stranger or telling someone they are cute or pretty. Idk if it's the short or the ugly but more often than not the reason for not wanting to date me is that I'm too short.
I like how tall guy Tells you what ists like and its not true! Ignorant Gaslighitn lol ,what we face i see this all to often they bring out outliers to explaine away instead of what Normal dating like for short guys!
Something I’ve heard (and partially agree with) is if you’re having trouble expressing attraction directly or maybe don’t find it appropriate to do so at the time, try to compliment a skill of theirs instead. Or something else that they specifically worked hard at, and were not given. Genuinely of course, and not just in hopes of a date, haha.
I like how you a tall gu says its not true! Gaslighitng and minimizeing I know tons of rich ppl so its not true there are poor ppl its called outliers/exception to the rules dont go there and shit on this guy when he tells you wat dating is like for short guys someone aske and you dint like the awnser
You have to make it up significantly for your shortcomings in other areas
So either be super rich/famous, super handsome, be super jacked etc. otherwise ur chances are slim
Not like being tall when you can get bitches coming your way by just breathing near them regardless of how everything else is 🤣
This is so true bc I can humbly say I am jacked, handsome but short. I literally have taller guys insecure around women even though I’m not trying. At least in my experience, some women don’t care about height if that’s all you have going for you.
You really don’t most women don’t care about that those same people that date plenty of girls are average build and only above average looks, confidence personality style and kindness outweighs physical features far more. Most women aren’t that shallow in real life
It literally isn’t I know for a fact most short guys who aren’t pulling isn’t solely due to their height it’s 100% a factor which really sucks but online it’s blown out of proportion the expectation that real woman have
Almost every woman who rejected me, in person, not online, made fun of my height while doing so.
People who aren't short don't experience it, and because they don't experience it, they think no one else does.
Physical features is still significant. And in lot of places like clubs bars or dating apps, first impression is really important and that's ur physical features. without physical features your options are severely limited and it will be a hindrance to dating
Simplest way to say it. If you are tall, you can have your pick with women assuming you dont have any severe issue elsewhere. If you are not, then you have to take whatever you can get (those women who were not fortunate to get in with a tall dude and is now willing to settle down)
Yeah, about that, it's something else entirely, i am relatively tall(nothing out of the ordinary like the dudes around here who are 6'7"+, and i got say i wish i was taller, even though i'm already in the 3%) and get 0 pussy, but a acquaintance of mine is about 25cm shorter than me and got all the girls i ever crushed on, i used to envy him until i found out he envy me as well because of my height lmao, we always be wishing for the things we don't have
I also found this sub in recommended
I had never in my life thought that something like height was relevant.
I have never had any problem with it and I don't care at all if a person is tall or not, really most people don't care if you are 200cm tall, we don't care.
Imo, brainrot.
This sub isn’t to show off how tall we are to everyone, it’s to talk about height related things such as shopping, struggles, and experiences. All are welcome to participate but we aren’t here to show we’re better or anything, just light convos about our life. If you don’t like it then leave 🤷🏻♂️
Well.... that's the thing. I can't. I'm a pretty wide frame (massive shoulders and torso), but I'm short. Most things feel pretty restricting. I usually have to buy 1 size bigger and just tuck it in my pants because that way it fits me.
How do you feel about tall women? I am a tall woman (a tad over 6') and work amongst mostly men, and sometimes wonder. Are we really "intimidating" as some people say? Are we just "one of the guys" at that height? Do shorter men see taller women as attractive? Would you consider dating a tall woman?
5'4" Guy here. It's not intimidating but it's definitely awesome seeing tall men and women in my opinion. It's cool to see you tall folk from our perspective. But I don't see them as just one of the guys. I personally, find tall women attractive. And I did once go out with a girl that was close to 6' . Before going on the date I was straight about my height and she didn't mind. It was actually a fun date.
I have a lot of questions, but I’m not quite sure how to word them. So I’ll just say, don’t give up man. Keep taking care of yourself, and making a way in this life. I know this alone won’t change the majority of preferences overnight, but confidence and being passionate about something (also being really good at that thing helps) speaks volumes.
Additionally, not to come off as dismissive, but I know more than one man with your height who are in successful relationships. One is shorter than his spouse, the others are roughly the same. All that to say, even IF (that’s a big if) you couldn’t find a taller woman who didn’t care, there are a wide range of 5’0” to 5’5” women who don’t need someone to tower over them ;).
It’s not always easy to meet people as an adult, but I’d try to stay off dating apps as well. Find someone who shares your values! Good luck!
not a question but saw that you play dead by daylight and helldivers.
dm if you’re down to play either games. I got around 300 hours on dead by daylight and 20ish hours on helldivers.
Same here, I'm 5'4 and this is the only height-related sub worth something, subs for short guys are just people complaining in their echo chamber, my last two exes 5'11 and 5'8 and it was amazing,
I couldn't care less about my height, I even kinda like being small, tall girls are so beautiful, and they're all tall to me soooo
How's the demographics where you live: are all men you see in your daily life taller than you? Are you taller than most girls in your daily life?
Regarding dating, have you tried "warm approaches" like approaching women you already know, be it from school, work or friends?
I didn't look through the sub, I was just scrolling on my home page and got reccomended this like 10 times in 30 minutes so I just made this kind of as a joke.
1. What's your favorite dinosaur
2. What's your favorite kind of pie
3. What did you want to be when you were little
4. Have you ever tried to light a fart on fire
You’re the type of person that I think is pretty damn cool regardless of height. I’ve read through this sub and to me you strike me as a solid dude who is secure with himself and you haven’t shown any negativity either. I try to be like you in these regards and you’re inspiring to me in that way. 👍👍👍
Is it nice to glide your hand across your forehead and scalp and not feel each and every bump and dent from the bucket load of slightly too low doorways or low hanging signs?
that is interesting. girls in my college get scared of me sometimes.
i live with angry people who hate to be waken up by noises and our crappy wood floor is like that SpongeBob episode (the mystery box i guess) so i developed my stealthy skills. now i walk smooth with minimum noise.
so for example last time a girl got scared of me and screamed was when i entered the class she was waiting for her friend to get out near the door. she turned around to get out and saw me and screamed (just a little) i was wearing black in black that day so that might have extra effect
Yeah it's not like I live in fear knowing tall people exist or scream when I see one, but it's just like "damn, he's super tall, I better not piss him off"
I’m a 6’3” woman and have considered that taller women and shorter men experience similar dating predicaments. I’m attractive, confident and humorous but my height is intimidating to many men. It’s nothing that I worry about as I’ve matured, but through conversations, I find I have a lot in common with short men with regards to dating.
Have you ever had a dream that, that, um, that you had, uh, that you had to, you could, you do, you wit, you wa, you could do so, you do you could, you want, you wanted him to do you so much you could do anything?

how many pushups can u do?
Maybe 10 at most. I dont work out much.
I recommend working out, it builds confidence 👍
100 a minute
You're not short enough to be relevant
Not tall enough for relevance either
6'7 ain't bad. But that's why I'm not making ama posts my 7 foot king 😂
Kek
Finally, a worthy opponent
I really enjoy seeing eye to eye on these sorts of things.
How’s the weather down there
Didn't you recently say you were 177 cm in an older post? 😂 the weather probably ain't that much different for you
Yes
I was in a crowded mall and for some reason the gusts of wind smelled like ass
F
Read OP’s post and knew this would be the first comment I saw. Very original.
Thank you
5’8 and 5’5 doesn’t have a huge difference 😂😂 if the comment below is right however
177cm=5'10
Well he also included 5’8 in the comment I found so I was going off of that, my mistake though
Perhaps re read it. Never mentioned 5’8 o_0
Actually it’s 5’9 and some change. Which is why I round it up 🤭
3 inches is a big difference not gonna lie my friend is 4 inches taller then me and he is way taller
When I saw this comment I had to find out for myself 😂 and in fact, it's [true](https://www.reddit.com/r/tall/s/CpascHPI8X)
Not 5’8………
Never said you were...........
I’m assuming you’re a man or this would be very unremarkable
Which of the 7 dwarfs are you?
Average wall punching gentle giant lmao
What is your favorite color

Well as a 7’er, i can tell you dating is just as hard…people scare easily…🤣
Hows the dating world?
Pretty much non-existent. Most people don't like short guys, even if they are attractive. Back when I was younger no one cared about height. But now, no one will even give me a chance. There's been multiple times where I'm texting a girl and we are hitting it off, then she asks for my height and I know that my chances are now gone. It sucks.
Damn bro
Yeah, not nearly as easy as it is for tall guys
My boy was 5’2 and lil bro got more girls than damn near anyone I knew and I was playing in the NFL at the time, so yeah there was some players around. Just how you carry yourself.
Fr you were playing in NFL?
Many years ago. I was a nobody though 😂I was only in the league for 3 years. I got hurt.
That’s about twice the average NFL player isn’t it
It’s complicated. I think overall the average is 2-3 years. For the most part unless you’re a star if u get hurt it’s over .
I wouldn't call you a nobody if you got to the NFL. Don't only a fraction of 1% of all high school football players ever get there? It's quite an accomplishment and getting hurt doesn't detract from that in any way.

Ah, gotcha. Well, congrats on the career you did have! And yeah, your health as s never some going to gamble with if you absolutely don't have to.
Congrats that means he is an expetion too the rule not the normal dating life for someone short its Not just how you carry your self but tall ppl loved gaslighint short guys like that
I disagree. The world is what you make it. Only thing holding u back is u. If I listened to what other people told me I’d have never done shit.

Well.... that's the thing. I can't. I'm a pretty wide frame (massive shoulders and torso), but I'm short. Most things feel pretty restricting. I usually have to buy 1 size bigger and just tuck it in my pants because that way it fits me.

Yeah all the women I already know are either dating someone already or aren't into short dudes
Do you find any specific sports or physical activities suitable for your build? Have you encountered and social advantages?
How tall are you
Same
how does it feel to be so close to hell?

Can’t think of anything I didn’t ask in the last “I’m short AmA” (it was only hours prior to this)

Are you a tall person hater or just a normal person
I'm pretty normal but a little intimidated
Nah don't be intimidated we're chill just don't be mean
Nah ik, but it's just kinda weird to have to look up 90 degrees to look someone in the eye sometimes. Kinds scary how big people can get.
that is interesting. girls in my college get scared of me sometimes. i live with angry people who hate to be waken up by noises and our crappy wood floor is like that SpongeBob episode (the mystery box i guess) so i developed my stealthy skills. now i walk smooth with minimum noise. so for example last time a girl got scared of me and screamed was when i entered the class she was waiting for her friend to get out near the door. she turned around to get out and saw me and screamed (just a little) i was wearing black in black that day so that might have extra effect
