Anyone of you guys short? I'm 5'7'' male and 20 years old.

My height is probably the only thing on my body that bothers the fuck out of me. I'm insecure about it and feel like a midget next to average sized guys. It also sucks because 90% of chicks go for tall guys.

Anyway, I can't get over it. Do I have more years to grow? Is there a certain sport that helps you grow taller? Foods? I would think Calcium would help but I drink a lot of milk and see no results.

Pic sorta related. Trent Reznor is 5'7''.

Methinks you pulled this percentage out of your ass. Me, I have a huge crush on Mark Linn-Baker, and he's only about 5'7" or 5'8'. Shorter guys can be adorable, if they aren't assholes or standoffish because they're sensitive about their heights.

Yes, it's called sexual dimorphism. Also, anecdotal evidence isn't sufficient enough to apply to an entire group. Remember that.

I really liked a guy who was 5'9" but he wouldn't go out with me because I was 5'9" as well.

What the hell?

I don't think 5'7" is short at all. I've seen some pretty bad-ass height-challenged guys who are smaller than you bring in the women. It's just how you carry yourself. If you've got the charisma and personality and obviously take care of yourself it shouldn't be a problem for you.

Just look at the guy you posted.

Yes, really. Mesomorphs and endomorphs are just an average height... maybe a few inches difference.
Ectomorphs are the only people who are tall. And most people who are tall all have the same properties - very skinny, long limbs, triangular jaw, and a very flat body. Look around at tall people, and you'll notice it. Of course, this isn't written in stone. But it's generally how it is.
We mesomorphs are just a regular height, man. No taller than we need to be.

If people's heights lay between their moms and their dads, then females would be getting taller and males would be getting shorter. But we're still sexually dimorphic. Honestly, just how fucking stupid can you be?

First of all 5'7" is average. You arent short, you just arent tall either. I for one am 6'4" and havent seen anything about my height that helps me get girls any better than any other guy. Also height comes with downsides too, like a genetic disposition towards bad joints(knees in my case).

I'd personally rather go for a shorter guy than a fucking giant. I'm pretty short myself so chances are they'd still be taller than me. Huge people make me feel nervous like they'll try and crush me or they think I'm staring at their exceptionally lengthy selves and and will proceed to crush me for being rude.

anyways, if you think you can squeeze a little more growth out of your growth plates, doing compound lifts (like the big 3) help your body produce more hgh iirc.

S'all about confidence man.

If anything, being short serves to highlight our confidence. When you're short and confident as hell, the girls pick up on it a fair bit more than just another 6'3 hotstuff who has no reason NOT to be confident.

Just embrace being a short-arse man. You've got it a lot better than you think.

I've never considered myself short or tall. My best friend is something like 6'7" and next to him, everyone seems short so I don't think about it much. Of all of my friends, he's the only one in a healthy and stable, long term relationship where I think both partners are right for each other.

I'm about 5'9". There's alot of disadvantages and advantages alike associated with height, but it doesn't bother me, I'm comfortable in my own skin. That's alot more than I can say for most of my taller friends.

To be truthful, I have been jealous and insecure in the past. It's frustrating to see peers who treat their bodies like shit surpass you in an area where you have no control, and one which attracts alot of attention. But remember, it's just one aspect of the body. Even the people who appear the best on the surface have their own set of insecurities to deal with.

Yes, you'll likely keep growing for a few years, but at a greatly stagnated rate. Expect less than an inch.

Not really much to do about that. Growth is regulated by growth hormone, which is more genitcally influenced than dietary or environmentally.

A tip though is to focus your exercises on your back. This will likely improve posture, making you seem taller.

And if you're desperate, you could score some HGH and start taking it (it's a common substance in basketball circles). This will make you grow, but as with all doping, it can have severe negative side-effects. Furthermore, if you take it your own body will cease production of growth hormone.

tl;dr You'll grow some more, but not much. Nothing to do about it except shooting up HGH which will fuck you up.

I'm about five feet tall. Everyone and their mother is taller than me. I got made fun of a lot growing up but it was never mean, just teasing, like being called a "shrimp" or asked if I was considered to be a legal midget. You end up short when your dad is 5'4" and mom is 5'1".

Being short has never gotten in the way of having relationships, though. I prefer shorter guys, obviously, but I did date a guy who was 6'4" earlier this year for a short time, it seemed like he was two feet taller than me and it was too awkward, though he didn't seem to notice.

I'd like to be a few inches taller, but that's what wearing heels is for!

That's because I've got a shy personality. Considering that your personality is probably the most important thing in a relationship, this probably counts for quite a lot.

I'm 5'9", 20 years old and female and I've only dated one guy shorter than me which is something I don't aim to do ever again. It's too awkward when we're out in town (yes I'm that shallow), and if he's skinny that doesn't fit me either 'cause I'm pretty curvy and with wide hips.
Now, that said, it's no reason for any man to be embarrassed about his height either because women come in all shapes and sizes as well. If you click really well with somebody who's taller than you there's no reason not to go for it (if she's up for it too, that is), and don't limit yourself to only look for short girls. You'll be missing out.

My ex bf wis 6'2, and I'm 5'8 but always wear high heels so depending on the heels, I could be between 6 and 6'2. Well I bought these beautiful pair of boots from Nordstrom, made me look super tall. One day we were going to go have dinner and I put the boots on and went outside to meet him. Well he saw me and he said "you are my same height! go and take those boots out" and i said "what, are you fucking kidding me" and he said "i don't liek you being my height, it's weird, I've always dated girls way shorter than me" . I couldn't fucking beleive it. Of course we got into a huge argument after that, and I didn't change my boots. What an insecure fag.

You likely have a couple of years left of growing and that's it. Try stretching or drinking lots of milk, it's done wonders for my family. All my parents and their brothers, sisters, and spouses are around 5"2 while their offspring are all around 6"0. But at 20, I doubt you'll get any sort of major growth spurt.

Girls usually go for guys who have a nice face, nice personality and nice body. Try obtaining those and THEN start worrying about your height and small (but proportioned) penis.
