Worried about my height.

VG: Okay, have a nice day. :o

But I don't want people to think I'm a pathetic loser if I don't have a girlfriend by the time I'm in my 20s.

Out of interest, how old are you now?

I'm 21 and I've never had a boyfriend. The pressure might be less for females, but I've gotten to a stage when I don't give a fuck. I had to deal with other things that made "being single and a virgin" seem like dogshit in comparison.

But people will think less of me because I've never had a girlfriend.

Only stupid people. Try not to care about what stupid people think of you... After all, they're stupid.

Whenever I used to bring up my height insecurities, my grandma would start blathering about this girl from her home city that was in the Olympics and how she's only 4'11" so you're fine!! Did you know she was short too? This girl was in the Olympics and she was short.

Nah man the size don't matter, It's all about how you use what you got.

... If you don't want advice, what were you expecting to achieve in this thread? We can't make you taller.

Except height DOES matter to women.

Women aren't exempt from stupidity.

Dude, please. There's nothing to be accomplished by pissing and moaning about your height. I'm really sorry you got a kinda bad roll on the genetic lottery, but there's nothing that we or you can do about it. Just let that sink in.

You can't change the attitudes of other people. But you CAN change YOUR attitude.

Ok, fine. You're right. You will never get a date and you will die alone in a cheap flat and be eaten by your two dozen cats. Is that what you want us to say?

Look, it's important to some women. But women are not a hive mind and people value different things. You might say that some men value blonde hair, but does that mean every brunette in the world should resign themselves to singleness forever?

Short guys can get dates. Whiney guys don't.

I don't want to have to settle for a short, ugly, desperate girl.

I see. You're afraid of people treating you like you treat other people. Got it.

... but you want a girl to settle for a short, desperate boy so your life has meaning? Grow up.

Short girls do not have to be ugly or desperate.

With that attitude, it sounds like she'd be settling for you. :)

Hey, guys. I think that this thread MIGHT just be an elaborate joke. Maybe.

Then can we lock it? Because it stopped being funny and is starting to go into straight up entitlement sexist bullshit.

Yeah, pretty much. I only came here because someone linked it from the Moment of Forum Win thread.

Seems like a weird thing to joke/troll about. And, assuming it's legit, I can relate to his feelings. But in any case, I think this thread has well and truly exhausted its usefulness and deserves a lock.

Yeah, this is just whining now. Locking it up.
