I’m 5’5 16M and I’m done growing, and honestly I feel like high school should be the time I’m MOST insecure about stuff like this but I’m just not like, at all. Idk I’ve never really cared at all about trying to be “masculine”, I have kind of a feminine face and I’m just kind of feminine in personality and I’m fine with that. It’s because I just really like girls that are taller than me and i see a lot of them all the time because i’m short, and I kinda just like the idea of not having to be dominant and feeling smaller and protected and stuff instead so kinda like the reverse of the “standard” relationship dynamic. It narrows down the dating pool a lot which sucks kinda but idk I’ve never been insecure about my height I never really got why a lot of other people were.
You're gonna age well mentally & prob physically too
That's the plan. Low maintenance, high comfort.
I mean, there are ways to avoid Twinkdeath, but most of them involve taking E + Raloxifene ASAP, or just having extreme genetic luck. It's incredibly hard to maintain that kind of look.
He definitely has a healthy mindset, though.
Speaking as a 5'5" man ten years older than you (who also likes tall girls) honestly the confidence to be 5'5" and not give a shit about it goes a long, long way. People in general care less than short guys tend to think they do and you'll find that plenty of girls don't actually mind being taller than you either
As a 5´9 woman married to a 5´4 guy, I agree.
I'm 5' and I have a coworker around 5'1~5'2. He has no issues having girlfriends. He does have issues with the relationship lasting tho lol. They obv broke up for diff reasons
I know a guy like this. He's got whatever swagger it takes to get attention from women. He's got loads of smoking hot gal friends posting pictures with him all the time. But he's... So very unhealed and also very misogynistic... So he stays single. But he also just got "Lonesome Fool" tattooed on his forehead so it doesn't appear that his approach is winning. But damn the ladies always love him for that split second though!
On his forehead?! Wtf 😂 imagine explaining that to people...
I think my coworker is fine, just has issues finding the right person haha
Yeah he did that last week so I'm curious to observe the impacts moving forward haha
Yeah, I don't understand why a lot of short guys are insecure about themselves.
I'm 5'3~ 18M, a bit older and shorter than you, never had an issue with it.
Tall girls? Must be my favourite genre
To be fair, you don't technically stop growing till like 23, so you might squeeze out an inch or two between now and then, but you have a good mindset. I'm 5'7 and never really cared about my height either, ive dated and slept around plenty with no problems, I even managed to have 2 kids while being vertically challenged. You'll be just fine.
Grew .5 inch between 22 and 23
Good. You have nothing to be insecure about. Not like it makes a difference if you stress yourself out and blow it out of proportion lol. Still gonna be the same height so you might as well embrace it :) Make the most of the hand you’re dealt in life. Don’t stress about the shit that’s out of your control. Being short isn’t the end of the world, not even kinda. Glad you figured that out early man.
I'm 6'2" and I respect the hell out of you for this. Height shouldn't matter very much to anyone.
My bf is 5’7 while I’m 6’2 and exudes the same confident chill energy. Being masculine and protective is cool and all but balancing it out with sensitivity and feeling protected sometimes too is incredible. May all the tall girls you can wish for find you!
All my short male friends who are secure about it are happily wifed up with absolute babes 😊 I see a bright future ahead
Narrowing the dating pool isn't too bad, you can't please everybody anyway and being short tells you that people who stay are there for who you are
Confidence is hot, hold on to this and you’ll be golden
I’m 5’11 and I’ve dated guys a little shorter than me. But every time I go out with a guy more than a few inches shorter than me he brings it up so quickly and asks if I feel weird or something along those lines. And I hate bc I literally don’t care??? But now I feel weird about my height and the date is ruined. Anyway yea own your height and don’t make it a thing when you go out with someone taller than you!
You think you're done growing at 16? I think I didn't stop until 18-19 so don't be so sure
I got my major growth spurt pretty early (like 11) and I was tall for a little bit in comparison to my peers but I’ve been the same height for like 5 years and now I’m small asf where I am lol. Also my mom is like 5’1 and my dad is like 5’7 and I inherited mostly my mom’s features
Short lady here, when I was your age and actually all through my school years I always loved the short dudes. I don't know if I were taller that I would have had a different preference. But they were always my favorites.
My fiancé is 5’5…and every bit of man that I need!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I really admire how confident and self-aware you are, it’s refreshing to see someone who fully accepts themselves without caring about stereotypes. The way you embrace who you are and what you want in a relationship is genuinely inspiring 😍
Bruh I’m 5’ 1” probably 5’ now because I got fat but anywayyyyy I stopped growing since junior in high school 🥲
You’re hella valid for this one, king.
I’m 6’1 and it honestly hurts how difficult it is to find a woman who is taller than me lmao.
Such a good mindset to have.
I am just a bit taller maybe and inch or so, I was however 4 foot 8 inches my senior year of high-school. I have honestly known enough tall people that have problems with things like being too big for a car or motorcycle or other daily issues their height makes more work like hitting their head on cabinets and ceiling fans. I will take a bit short over too tall any day. I am a shorter guy and nobody that matters has ever cared so why should I.
expect for just bein you bro like confidence is everything and the right girl will appreciate that
Most women never really worried as much as I would have thought. I had one who was a couple inches taller and it bothered her but that was about it. I mostly dated around or below my height but had a few girlfriends taller that didn't care at all.
Yea I'm surprised he's confident that he's done growing at 16. I feel like I was growing until 19
I was nearly 22 maybe even a bit later but my big spurt was about 19 to 20 or 21. I was late for a lot of things like that though and didn't realize it.
I got my major growth spurt pretty early (like 11) and I was tall for a little bit in comparison to my peers but I’ve been the same height for like 5 years and now I’m small asf where I am lol
Being comfortable and confident about yourself actually widens your dating pool. You're doing great, don't worry
