I checked out her comment history and found this, pretty ironic, also her original comment that she replied to was " honestly, I've turned down women because they were too short. Under 5'5 is a bit too much for me."

Girls were arguing with men for saying they dont prefer shorter women lol

I think I might be the ugliest person ever and it ruined my life

At 20, I realize I've just wasted my life. I've never had a girlfriend. Few friends, currently just one IRL and they don't even give a damn about me. I hate everyone. Fuck humans, damn god. Fuck this shitty face with this severe fucking underbite that ruined my life and my hair (I have retrograde alopecia), my eyes (they're asimmetrical and I have serious issues that keep getting worse, already got two surgeries but there's something else that's making me blind and no doctor understood why), I hate my gynecomastia even if it's not that severe so no doctor allowed me to get surgery, I hate my bulbous nose, I hate my bad posture, my abdominal fat, my patchy beard, my neanderthal-looking face, the disproportionate head. I hate everything and everyone. Never loved by anyone. No friends, no women, nothing. At this point I'd wish I'd never been born at all, a it's just suffering

And I'm just 5'8 WITH SHOES.

And it's all because of my fucking shitty appearance. I'm so tired of this shitty world.

It's only getting worse. I'm tired of everyone telling me, "You'll make friends, just talk to people," or for relationships the shittiest swntence the "when you least expect it, it will come" world, go f yourself, I hate you.

I wonder why people, when they're attractive, can also be mean and are never alone, both platonically and romantically. But then people like me are left alone even though I've never hurt anyone.

This shitty world is unfair. I'm tired of playing a game where I've already lost.

+ Never ask people who say that looks don't matter what their partner looks like.

For reference, I’m 5’8/173cm which is bang average height (although I live in Canada) and it might be just below average but globally speaking, bang average.

My mom is 5’9 (175cm) and my dad is 5’11 (180cm) can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I ENDED
UP TO BE THIS HEIGHT?????

Now I understand that perspective matters, and that there are many men who would want to be the same height as I am, whereas I would like to be taller. But my question still remains, I just listed both my parents’ respective heights and I ended up shorter than both. Meanwhile my older brother is 5’11. So I really don’t know what happened, like although I’m ranting about height on this subreddit, I try not to think about it/internalize it too much in real life.

But knowing that I most likely should be taller will FOREVER fuck with me man, I just don’t understand smfh.

I cant bear it. I am genuinely inferior. I am an ugly piece of shit. I hate lookung at my subhyman self every fucking day. If i was a foot taller i would feel less subhyman. I love life but sometimes i just wanna off myself.

I suffer from an autoimmune condition that leads to increased inflammation in my joints which can eventually progress to Ankolyzing Spondyloarthritis if not controlled with medication. One big feature of it is that not moving makes it worse. As such, I've always been hardcore about weightlifting 6x a week, stretching properly and walking enough (4ish miles a day).

I bring this all up just to preface that the gym hasn't been a vehicle for attracting women but I was hoping it would help. I'm currently around 13-15% body fat, 146 pounds and visually ripped (abs, veins, muscle definition). Despite all this I get zero attention from woman. In person I get no second glances or looks, people just seem totally uninterested in interacting. I do work remote but I have in-person activities related to my hobbies and nobody seems interested in even friendship.

dating apps I actually expected to see some improvement since I assumed that since it's essentially a meat market me being in top shape would put me above the vast majority of guys. match frequency is super low and the likes I do get are woman who are out of shape. I don't care if people decide they wanna be out of shape, there's only so many hours in a day and you have to prioritize but it really demoralizes me that woman who are physically not taking care of themselves think they can get someone like me who has to work their ass off in the gym 2 hours a day to look good.

My life is otherwise great, I'm on track to hit a milllion net worth by 30, I love my job and my disease causes me pain most days but I'm still able to stay active. it just sucks that it doesn't feel like it's going towards anything bigger than financial security for myself.

I'm inclined to think I must be doing something wrong, not marketing myself well, need to do something different for dating etc. lots of other threads asking this question suggest that getting in good shape basically opened the floodgates but they don't state height so ya know.
