Is being short being ugly

Hello,

I'm a 16 year old guy - going on 17 - and am but a mere 5 feet 7 inches tall.

It is a major point of insecurity for me. I'm constantly wishing i was taller, though I know there is nothing on God's green earth that can be done about it.

I feel as though it puts me at a disadvantage for success with the opposite sex, life in general, and it is quite discouraging.

Any words of wisdom or condolences from anyone would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Nat

Hey! I am insulted! You think 5 feet 7 inches is short?
Then that makes me a dwarf at 5 feet 2 inches!
Okay, okay I may only be 14 and a girl and all, but I am still offended!

Hehe, I'm just joking around... but really- being short isn't bad!

Hi Nat,

I'm a girl, and about 5 foot 8 inches. Height has always been a hangup for me and I probably wouldn't date a guy shorter than me.
BUT... the reason is that I've always felt conspicuously tall for a girl, so wouldn't want a shorter boyfriend as it would draw attention to my height. Sounds silly eh? :P

But if I met a guy I really liked, if he were a little (or even a lot) shorter than me it really wouldn't be an issue.

And besides that, you're still taller than the vast majority of girls your age. You're not actually that short. Seriously, don't worry about it.

Kal

Altenweg agrees: I'm 5'11" and I do agree, but I once dated a guy that was only 5'4". Go figure. ;)
