Height Issues

[CynicRecluse]

I'm totally with you on that.
I'm shorter than all of you.
-___- I'm 5'1
And because of that I never leave the house without platformed boots.
I'm extremely sensitive about my height.

[NathanO3o]

Annnnd im even shorter, just under 5ft. WOOO. Although I am young...but looking at my family I doubt i'll get anytaller than 5'2 or 5'3 if im lucky..

Oh well, Gather your confidence and walk outside those doors, i've seen plenty of Cis-guys only 5ft.

Being short is cool. 

[CynicRecluse]

I personally don't think being short is cool. >___>
I'm getting boots with 7inch soles to be a decent height. Aha.
I'm young too, but I'm done growing.

I'm 5'5", built like a 6'5" tank of a man, just shorter. I would kind of like to be taller, but I'm mostly fine with it. Most cis men in my area are shorter than me. We are a very short people in West Virginia. If you see a man taller than 5'7", chances are they're not from this area. I have a cis guy friend who's 5'1" and is a tiny little thing. He's totally secure and doesn't think twice about it, and he's well liked and popular. So yeah, confidence is key.

[NathanO3o]

Yeaahhh....i suppose it's not... T ^T
A friend of mine says short guys are cute though...if that makes anyone feel better...that probably won't.. -.-
And someone i know is only like... 4'10, he seemed to had stop growing since his early teens, so y'know, at least there are some Cis-guys and all that who are shorter than us.

And yes, Confidence is the key. xD

[CynicRecluse]

I don't know, I just think being short gives it away more for FTMs.
Guys aren't too tall here but most are at least 5'4.
There will always be shorter and taller people though so meh.

I'm 5'5 but there is a guy in my class that's the same height as me so it doesn't bother me as much.

I'm from West Virginia too and you're right. They're pretty short here. Lol.

Not really.  Guys (all guys) have all types of bodies.

Here's a good site
->-bleeped-<-yeahshortguys.tumblr.com

There's a guy that comes to where I work and he's got to be about 5 foot because I'm 5'5 and I know he's way shorter than me.

This. I don't think much about being short. It is what it is.

I also live in WV.  I guess that's why my height never bothered me too much until I found out the actual number... But still, most of the guys I know are taller than me. When I was living in Texas, though, it seemed like everyone was taller than me, even the girls. I was thinking about moving back there, but now I'm not so sure. xD

[Keaira]

I used to think I was at least 5'6", but recently discovered that I'm 5'4"...  It kinda sucks, but I have met men shorter than me so I guess it's not all that bad... However it's still been bothering me since I found out...

I was wondering, how tall are you guys? For those of you who are short, how do you deal with it? Sorry if this has already been discussed. ^_^;

Oh God I know! I argued with a Nurse once that I was 5'6 for 15 mins. In the end she remeasured me and I was shocked to see that she was right. I lost an inch since I was last measured at age 19. The only thing I can think of was that my fork lift accident shortened my lower left leg enough to lower me by an inch. As a woman,. I'm happy about the height difference, but how it happened? i'll never quit worrying about that.

[PixieBoy]

I'm pretty short, 5'5", but people have told me that my height makes me cute, especially as my nickname is Pixie. I wish I was taller, then most clothes would look better on me, but whatever. I've stopped growing, so I can't do anything about it.

As someone who's somewhat of a guy, I'll tentatively post here. I'm 5'10". Average height for a man, pretty freakin' tall for a girl.

I think short guys are awesome, and never that I can remember have I questioned someone's gender based on their height. I see all these threads about height, and I really don't think it matters as much as people seem to think it matters. I sometimes wish I was short, so I could wear clothing that wasn't either specifically designed for tall girls or having a really awkward combination of waists and inseams for a guy (I have a 28-30" waist and 34" inseam). Also, short people take up less space and consume fewer resources than do us larger folks.

I'm 5 foot 2...ish. I get around by using step stools. Today at work a customer wanted something off a shelf I couldn't reach. I went to get a step stool and noticed my tall coworker and asked him to get it instead.

[Jasper]

I'm 5'11" on a good day. Some mornings I'm 6' and it's always been good. Except it made me look stretched out and awkward.

My girlfriend's sister calls me Sputnik.

[Hayzer12]

5'9. Same height as my dad.

[Kyle_S]

I'm 4'11 and 3/4. Im done growing. I'm almost 22 -_-
It would prob be hard for me  to be confident as such a short man, considering western society expects that all guys be tall, or at least 5'7ish to be average. There's too much emphasis placed on it. I was also beat up when I was in primary school (7/8 yrs old) just because I was a short GIRL. *sigh* its been a  touchy subject with me since, and I don't know how i'd handle it after a transition. :/

[insideontheoutside]

I'm 5'2" - 5'3" depending on what shoes I'm wearing. I always see other guys who are just as short as me or close to it when I'm out and about. Not every guy is tall or even "average".

[HarryP]

I'm 5'3". It is annoying being short (having to wait in the queue at bars is the worst thing!) but to be honest, as long as I can bulk up a bit when I start T, I'm not too bothered. Short muscular guys look fantastic, in my opinion - just look at some of the Japanese ufc fighters.
