so as you can see from other posts, I have a major physical deformity, I'm only 5'1'' (153cm), which makes me a freak. Sometimes it feels harder to be my height than a fat girl, as some guy who still f**k/date them, where it seems near impossible for me. I only got laid once, and it was a one night stand as a super senior at college (ie I wasn't even supposed to be there). But more, worse, I feel like even for my big social skills deficits, I could have gotten away with them more easily had I been 5'11'', and had I been that tall in HS, I wouldn't have even had such deficits bc I would have had social experience then.

There are guys who have fetishes for "BBW," and while yea its super niche and few/far between, there are also many guys who'll settle for a girl with a few extra pounds. Where is the converse? Or am I just useless and my existence a waste of oxygen? and I'm NOT into Asian/black/other girls, nothing personal, just don't find them attractive. In my favor, I'm preppy, I'm pretty talented at guitar, somewhat smart (I'm going to a top grad school), tho that last one might have not been there for my in college bc even tho I participated in class/knew a lot, we were at the college, which by association implied not being that smart. Where is my keep?

How you treat a woman matters more than height. Persist.

You probably notice your height more than anyone around you. I always thought short but preppy guys did better with the kind of girls I'd be interested in anyway. And let's face it, as an aspie you'll never be the masculine type regardless.

How about me, tall and expected to the be the masculine type, then they talk to me and they're like, oh.... At least your height isn't a lie.

I think we all have our complaints. If not height it'd be something else. Try worrying out things you can change maybe.

At 5"10 I'm the shortest woman in my family.

My female kinfolk have all dated much shorter guys, and most of them ended up eventually marrying a man shorter than them. My mother is taller than my father (hence my being only 5"10).

So, yes, it's possible.

how short is short? Or am I doomed to a girl with mental problems (worse than mine, and I strive to hide them to all end), a closet lesbian (I dated one at the end of college, really just to get confidence/experience), or to be forever alone?

Its rare that women will date a man that is significantly shorter than they are. Some will, more so now than back in my day. (I'm 57 years old, and 5' 5") I've asked women about this and they always deny it, but it is almost always the rule. Personally I believe its because of peer pressure (other women tease them), but again they deny this.

do u mean they r more or less likely to date short men today? I'd be inclined to believe its harder for short men today BC of feminism.

Anyway, I might have to try to go to reincarnation and not b a mutant. If I had known I'd be this as an adult when I was 12, I'd have tried sweet suicide.

What does feminism have anything to do with this?

because some feminists and MTV have sought to make the "hot guy" as common in culture as the hot girl, and thus raises standards in looks for women. Also, feminists try to equate being a short guy with being a fat woman. That "womyn" should give men a taste of their own medicine by being shallow. Being short is not an indication of poor taking care of oneself or laziness. Thats why such an equation is wrong.

I've known a lot of shorter guys who got really great girlfriends. And, sometimes, the woman was quite a bit taller. Personality and mutual interest is the biggest factor. And, there are a lot of women in your height range. When you get rejected, try to think of it as simply part of working a maze. Eventually, you will solve the puzzle. Good luck!

Now THERE is the biggest obstacle to girls and friends thats been in my life. Altho I made another thread about the subject, I wanna know what you mean by "personality." I've always kind of struggled with what that word really means, esp. when people have told me things like "be yourself," "don't be someone you're not," etc. Did you mean to say common background, common worldview, common goal-types/aspirations?

Back when I was about 20 I hung out with this one group of folks. There were about 15 or so regulars who were there every night, and I was one of them. At the time I was dating this musician from the group, and I later dated another guy from the group, then I met my husband who wasn't in the group and stopped hanging out with them because I was busy dating. That's neither here nor there. I wanted to tell you about Big Bad Billy Joe.

His real name was Billy Joe (probably William Joseph) but the Big Bad part was a nickname, the big part being ironic. He was one of the most popular guys in the group. He was about 5-2 or 5-3. Something like that. I'm 5-10 so I couldn't tell the difference with about an inch of height. He used to joke on his height a lot. However, he developed this image that worked perfectly with it, although I don't know how it would work out of the South. He did work out a lot so he was all buff, but he drove this huge pickup truck, all pimped out with I don't know how much lift on it, but he had the little steps to get up there. I couldn't even get in it without the steps nor could the tall guys. One of THOSE trucks. The huge ones. He also work cowboy boots all the time and dressed in a somewhat Western style so he could wear the boots with them. The boots had about two inch heels on them, like lots of cowboy boots do. They added some height. He also wore a big ole cowboy hat most of the time too, which adds more height. And a big silver belt buckle to kind of balance things out. It not only made him look taller, but standing next to his truck which made everybody look short, it wasn't so noticable that he was that short. Plus, being as big and buff as he was that also made him look bigger. Nobody wanted to mess with him cause of the size of his arms and shoulders. He had girls falling all over him. He was very outgoing and joked around a lot and everything, but was a very nice guy. He had lots of friends too, because even though he could hang with the jocks and joke around with them, he wasn't ever mean to anybody. He would also make jokes about himself as well, although unless you were good friends with him, you didn't make a joke about him because of the whole big buffness of him that would kick your ass for you.

I don't know if you would be interested in anything like that, and I don't know where you live so I don't know if the cowboy thing would work there or not. However, I'd suggest a style where you can wear shoes with some heels on them and possibly lifts inside the shoes, and a look that can incorporate a hat as well. Some kind of hat that is off the head a couple inches. A look using a fedora would work, especially if you aren't muscular and don't want to spend the time working on that. You could wear the skinny jeans and the boots with heels like Russell Brand wears and you could wear tshirts or whatever else with them. You could get fedoras in different colors and such and wear a different one with different outfits. Unless you are in a formal situation, if a hat like that is obviously part of an outfit, you won't need to take it off indoors, so it will be fine in a classroom or restaurant. Something like a ball cap wouldn't be. The hat and boots could become sort of a signature look for you. While it doesn't add actual height, it will add the illusion of height and also give you sort of a cool at first glance look which will help in the first impression department s long as you follow up with talking to people.

I've never came across such conspiracy theory before lol.

Look, it's not the feminism, it's simply biological, the female instinct. Traditional women are as serious about the guy's height.
