I'm a 5'4" guy, and I'm curious about what people genuinely think. Has your height affected your dating, career, confidence, or social life? If you're around this height, what has your experience been like? And if you're taller or shorter, what's your honest opinion? Please be respectful—I'm looking for real experiences, not just motivational answers.
From what I've seen on this subreddit a few big issues are fashion and jealousy. Is that right? I've seen a lot of people say how they can't find clothes that fit them or that they don't like their bodies proportions. I've also seen a lot of people speak about being in awe of tall women. If you had to rank all your problems in a list what would be at the top and bottom? I don't want to seem rude or ignorant. I'm just curious.
I am 35 years old female and just today for first time did my height on digital scale and it said 4’8’’
Till today I thought I am 4’9’’
Not sure why this made me upset. Is there anyone my height ?
Assuming your own height is the same. Also assume there is no heightism of any form or any social pressure from others so its just your own preference. What would be your preferred height?
I think it's really easier to dress or style yourself up, as a petite if you have that petite frame, that lean body! But not when you have curves, big bust!
And i hate that so much!
I am 4'11,.
I have 34 bust which appears to be really bigger on my petite frame,
I have short legs but thick so it looks more worse.
It's so frustrating
My proportions make it harder to find outfits that balance everything instead of emphasizing what I don't want to emphasize.
It's frustrating because most petite fashion advice seems to be made for one specific body type: slim, straight, and delicate. If you're petite with curves, especially a fuller bust, it can feel like you're constantly trying to make clothes work for a body they weren't designed around.
Sometimes I don't hate being petite. I just hate how difficult it feels to style a petite, curvier body in a way that reflects how I want to look.
Not in a pick me way. I genuinely hate being 4'9. Boys call me loli like I'm some little anime kawaii girl who's submissive for them. I genuinely hate it. Most of the time I would stare at my own hands, wondering why it is that way.
Just yesterday I went to watch people debate. There's this absolutely two beautiful tall girls, gosh they're so beautiful. Wearing a blazer, looking professional. The whole time I was just staring at both of them.
I hate getting teased about my height. No I'm not blushing, I'm red because of how embarrassed I am not in a cute way. I wanna study finance and accounting when I'm older, I'm worried I won't be taken seriously.
Whenever I tell someone in real life about this, they'll always say "oh boys like that blah blah" I genuinely don't care. I can barely have feelings for anyone why should I care
Even someone younger is taller than me. It's genuinely embarrassing I'm gonna choke myself aaaa

Hii guyss!! I just wanted to express my feelings here, I (F22) am kind off feeling insecure about my height, so I am 4'9 ik it's very short and I heard it my whole life. So basically in my high school I went through worst kind of bullying from both teachers and students for my height, my teachers had a very bad nickname for me, during graduation they called out my nickname instead of my actual name infront of the whole school and I could see everyone laughing at me. My teacher would call me infront of the class and call a kid from 5th grade and compare our heights just for fun and obviously again I was laughed at, a girl would pull my chair before I sit so I would fall down pretty bad everytime(physical bullying) my crush has rejected me because of this worst.. he actually called me that nickname. These are only some of the bullying incidents there were more. A girl came upto me and said how would you ever get married in the future if you are so short?? Now it's been a while after high school I met good friends later, got a massive glow up but still my confidence is soo fucking low, like everytime someone laughs in the subway, street or anywhere I think it's because of me, and now I am kind of thinking if I will ever find love?? And even if I don't how do I get back my confidence?
I was very short for my age. I didn’t have dwarfism, nothing like that only short genetics. There is some dwarfism in my family.
I remember it was “cool to be tall” and getting laughed at relentlessly for being so short. My feet are very small, and still are as an adult. Kids would look at my shoes and laugh at the size. I was called a baby and told I was in the wrong grade. I was always called little girl, baby, and the kids thought I was genuinely some younger kid. I remember crying and hating my feet because they wouldn’t grow.
The teasing would never end. I also didn’t start puberty until much later which didn’t help.
One year, a bigger boy came up to me, elbowed me, and snapped a vein in my arm.
My preschool teacher actually recommended to my mom to hold me back for kindergarten and I wish she did. I got along with the grade below a lot better and gravitated to younger kids, because I looked more like them. The kids below me actually treated me with respect. Plus my birthday was on the later side of the school year. In a perfect world, I wouldn’t recommend this advice, but I recommend prospective kindergarteners wait for kindergarten until they are 6 if they are on the smaller size and have a later birthday based on my experience.
I held myself back in college if that counts and I needed that confidence boost and to be slightly older after being so young and teased about it forever.
So I really like this girl and she’s around 5’1-2” tall and I have noticed she’s pretty insecure about her height and I myself am just 5’4-5”,so what do you think such women prefer , men way taller than them or men just few inches taller ?
