im 157cm (5′2) 26yo male i have been in a realationship for 3years and i did had success somewhat with girls. tho sometime I feel like i need to work very hard, harder than my tall friends. if im not on my top shape and lean i feel like im not enough, and given less chances with girls. im pretty muscular, and have an ok face, i also pretty nice to talk to and tbh i never had a first date which the girl didnt want to go to a second date with me. but the height a lot of times made some girls not even consider me, and tbh 157 cm is like shorter than 99% of guys. im thinking about doing it to get to 5′6 tho i also dont wanna be the guy who is known for doing limb lengthning surgery cause its like an insecure thing. im pretty lost tbh. need some outsiders perspective ty

As a woman the same height as you, the world is for sure not made for people our size which is super annoying. (there’s kid size and adult size, and 5’2 is usually suited for neither ime),

One of my good friends from college was a man a full head shorter than me. He was the nicest person I’d ever met, full of charm and charisma, and had no problems meeting people and finding good people to spend time with. Because his personality shone through and he never outwardly seemed to care he was short, so nobody else did either (he did care sometimes, but was a happy dude anyway).

Height doesn’t matter imo. It might feel like it does, when nothing is sized for you and society says there’s some nebulous ideal, but in the grand scheme of things it’s who you are, and that’s ok. :)
