Small men - how much are you discriminated against?

Not really discriminated against at all really, the only exception being mainstream clothing retailers... even their small shirts never fit. That might just be because the average Joe is quite fat though. Usually have to shop somewhere a bit trendier (read more expensive) for clothes that look exactly the same but slimmer/smaller in size...

how tall are you?

how tall are you?

5'7.5"

come on that is hardly small!

I'm 5"9, so short. Sort of sucks but I have intelligence, (and I'm told) I have very handsome features.

Can't have it all, if I could change one thing about myself it'd be my height, always wanted to be a bit taller.

Being short has never really held me back though, I am considered "average".

I think it's a bit unfair that there's so much insensitivity in shaming short guys and calling them unattractive, for something they could literally never change, but calling a girl fat and saying "I could never date a fattie" is some kind of hugely offensive thing, but a fat girl can loose weight by not being lazy and going gym.

It's something that annoys me, and looking at this thread it annoys me because a lot of guys below 6ft will be reading comments like

"what I call guys under 6ft, friend"

That sort of **** will make a lot of guys, particularly the younger and more impressionable ones really insecure. You know men have feelings too, it's about time people respected that. And threads like these just go to show no one does.

Average is like 5'10 these days (excluding old people), and quite fat... so yeah, clothes from the big, cheap common retailers fit like bin bags on me .

Fair points but seriously you guys are not "small" surprised you feel insecure being the heights you are.

I'd say being below 5ft 5 is small.

Most of these threads about height/being short is by short guys admitting their insecurity.

You seem like you have a chip on your shoulders and small man syndrome by getting annoyed by the pat on the head thing.

true true very angry!

small men tend to have a desperate need to own flashy cars too.

Yes they try to make up for their shortness in many ways.

Small men are adorable

5"9 is well into manlet territory.

The real question is what kind of horrible discrimination tall men suffer. As part of the 6'4 master race i suffer constant heightism in every day life.. not being able to stand on the top deck of a bus, having little leg room in many places.

These things are horrid, far worse than what the vertically challenged suffer and even far worse than racism or sexism.

STOP KILLING MY HOPES, please

You're not allowed to stand on the top deck of a bus anyway :/
