I think now I know why I got major problems in life

Heck, it's because I'm kinda short!!! Imagine that! It's only now that I started to seriously think about this stuff, who I really am, and how other people view me. Seeing how women treat me, they never consider me a man even, maybe one of 10000 does, but usually they just giggle about me, I'm a joke, and a-holes on the street never hesitate to ask me for a light. I have had, and still have major problems in being unable to develop some interest to me in some girl I spot.

Then, yesterday, I was doing a google search and I accidentally came by an article discussing the matters of lower height persons, how much more difficult life is for them somehow (even though I don't quite understand that, we aren't really having a boxing match here and there, and even if we did, bigger doesn't mean stronger by any means AFAIC).

But I see things as if you're short, you aren't quite a man for every woman, right? For some, yes. But only really big guys are considered to be real men or something.

How do you think? Is this true? Any opinions?

BTW, I'm 168 cm (measured last year) and 167cm (this year). Don't know for sure how many feet/inches this is, sorry.
 
Dude, I'm 6'5" and I don't get any special treatment. Hehe, and I just noticed, the name booster probably doesn't help with your short thinking.

167cm is 5.42 feet
 
I had a coupla mexican friends (brothers) in high school who were like 5'1" and neither of 'em had ANY trouble gettin nookie.

So please don't assume your height is the be-all end-all of your life. It's only one small factor in the sphere of your entire being. How much influence it has on the rest of your life is up to YOU not others.

Heck, now I know it. I've been so busy with solving different problems, this struck me like a thunderstorm bolt or something. Now I know the truth, why they don't like me. However, I still think it's kind of silly.

Well, I wouldn't mind to be one of you 'other people', since my height is obviously below average.
 
I'm almost the same height so I know what you mean. Lots of girls won't go for guys unless they are relatively tall. Go look at some profiles on places like match.com. Most girls state they want someone 5' 10 or taller, even though they might be only 5' to 5'4" themselves. I was recently at a party and had a good time talking to one particular girl. I found out later that she thinks I'm a great guy but wants to date someone taller. Good thing I did't ask her out or I would have just been shot down.

The average ATOT thread? Priceless.

For some things there is therapy. For others use ATOT.

Those girls I would call stuck up bitches. You're better off without one of those anyways.
 
Look on the bright side there are alot of chicks that are 5'4.

Yes, there are. But there is a problem with their perception of me. If I'm just a little taller, I'm still not a man, even if I'm a head taller. It doesn't count if I'm not at least 175cm, that's the bare minimum I guess.

Not all women are stuck up bitches.
 
It's all in the way you carry yourself. Instead of worrying about all the girls who are taller than you who might not be interested, focus on the girls who might be interested.

People way over-react to rejection. It's not the end of the world, it doesn't mean you suck or that you are a bad person. Everyone in the world isn't going to like you. There are plenty of people you don't like, right? If you meet a girl, and she's not interested, move on. The more girls you meet, the sooner you'll find one you're compatible with.

You said "But I see things as if you're short, you aren't quite a man for every woman, right?". So what? No one can be a perfect match for every woman! Different women like different things. Some care about a guy's car. Some care about his sense of humor. Some care about [gasp!] the kind of person he is. You wouldn't be this concerned if a girl told you she wasn't interested because you don't like to go antiquing, you'd just accept it and shrug it off. It's the same thing.
