Damn in 15, almost 16 and 5,4. I hate being short so much. All of my friends are like a fucking foot taller than me and its starting to really piss me off. Do you kids think that im going to be a freak and be this small for my wholelife or maybe im a late bloomer or something? Does anyone else have this problem because im like one of the smallest kids in my grade and its really starting to get to me.
Seriously wtf?

girls arent as attracted to appearance as you may think. The main things a woman is attracted to is: Health, Social Intuition, Humor, then Status and Wealth (doesnt mean you have to drive a nice car and be super rich, you just have to have that appearance). We just think women are attracted to appearance mainly because thats what us shallow hals are mainly attracted to. If your using "I'm too short" as an excuse i suggest you drop it, cause once you do you will have no more excuses but your approach was off.

oh i forgot three other things that create attraction: Confidence, Pre Selection (if you are liked by other women and have a good group of friends) and congruence (if you are internally consistent with your personality and dont make shit up to try and win there respect). if your having trouble with girls, its not cause your short, maybe its your confidence because you dont think you will be accepted because your short. I heard an amazing quote once. and it went something like this "Theres only one difference between a champ and a chump, one small difference, and its 100% belief."

I don't believe any of that shit.  most everyone decides within 5 secs of seeing someone whether or not they'd fuck them.  women included.

for women, its those things you mentioned that make a lot more of a difference.  but that doesn't mean shit, just look at studies on interracial dating.  plenty of girls are just not attracted to men outside their race, and a guy could be as confident as he wants, it doesn't mean shit.  just ask some girls you know about the height thing, they'll confirm what I said.

plenty of girls are not attracted to short guys.  sorry.  I'm skinny, some girls don't like that.  it's just the way life is.  don't let anyone tell you everything is a confidence issue.  confidence is the key as long as you're within the parameters of attractiveness that the girl has.  if you are way over her standards, a lot of times you could be as socially adept as a fuckin post and it wouldn't matter.  and if you're under it, sorry, unless you are a mac and a half it's not gonna happen.

thanks everyone i dont feel so lonesome now knowing some of you are in the same boat as me. I was also talking to my gf about the issue and she brought up the fact that my arms are huge for my body. Like seriously my hands sag lik only 6 inches over my knees. She said that this means that i will grow soon/more.
I hope so. What do you children think??

shut up
i used to be super short but now i'm 5'11, projected to be 6'2, being short isn't bad though, i dealt with it for a while in middle school, i was always shorter than everyone else, but it's fine. you'll grow also, guys don't stop growing until they're 21. there's a kid in my grade whose under 5 feet, he has some growing issue so you can be glad you're not that short

because many people would be happy to be 5'10, by no means is it short and it's an insult to the thread creator, the average height is like 5'9
i'm also tired of you whoring threads, i'm sorry i'm in a bad mood, i'm sick and i had a shitty day

People make that comment alot on here on how if your short its easy to grab. It makes no sense! some one who is 5'4" has a much shorter distance to reach for a grab.....with their much shorter arms!!! where as some one who is 6'7" has a much longer distance to reach....with their much longer arms!!! do ppl not understand porportions??

you have no idea about game then. my wing is a 5' 6" non-goodlooking italian and he gets laid like a fucking rockstar. Those are all bullshit excuses. I'm skinny too, if a girl says something like that to me I just don't react, be non-reactive, its a shit test to see if you care. I'll say something like "ya I actually used to way 350 pounds, the doctors said I might die from being too obese, so I went to the gym everyday for 4 years and I lost 300 pounds, now I weigh only 50 pounds aren't you jealous." then she'll just laugh and move on. It's all a shit test, I've nailed girls way out of my 'league'. But you just have to get out of that mind frame I know 10's that think there probably 7's, but guys go up and treat them like there god's gift to the world and thats unnattractive to them so they just shut the guys down.

if you were 6'2", you shouldnt need extended golf clubs, unless you have back/knee problems and cant bend. so many people say "im tall, i need extended clubs" and they couldnt be more wrong. 2 guys i work with, a father n son, are 6'3" and 6'2" and both use regular length clubs just fine. both are awesome golfers and the son goes to golf school for college.


and i agree with argyl about the girl thing, its more confidence than anything. sure yourstruley or w/e is right about first impression, but that includes much more than just looks.


and all these stories about late boomers...my dad was kinda late growing at 17, so hopefully ill grow in my college years. you're all giving me hope that ill officially reach 5'6" instead of saying it and really being 5'5.5"!
