Why are so many guys insecure about their height?

easier said than done

It's doable, but training for it is difficult (and pretty fun actually). I'm 5 ft 7 and I can dunk, and it really does feel awesome

Nice are we talking rim grazers or 'proper' dunks? Eiher way thats pretty impressive and i agree it's a great feeling

Proper (though I can barely get my hands above the rim ).

Lol i remember those days, when everything would have to be perfect for me to be able ti dunk (perfect run up, palming etc etc). Tbh i think thats one of the best phases, it stops being as special a feeling when it gets easier (although in game is still great)

Yeah that's true, since I still screw up occasionally (takes around 2/3 tries to dunk properly). Me and a few friends used to show up at secondary school at 6am to practice basketball, and spend a good time attempting dunks. It was probably the most awesome thing I did that made school be a bit more exciting

Lol just be careful you don't dunk too much and get injured. And dunking is fun but tbh you're better off spending more time in handles, jump shot etc (do as i say not as i do, last time i played spent an hour on reverses self alleys 360s and a few others lol)

I've stopped playing basketball (way too much work to do). The constant injuries put me off from playing

Yeah it's pretty common to get injured, but ballislife so i play way too much anyway lol

Why are so many guys insecure about their height?

i feel as though it's more of a recent trend now..................

Which hot girl goes out with a midget? none lol

Society: NO!

Anyways, I don't think it's just guys that get this, it's girls as well. Those who work in the beauty field and are seen as "beauties and beasts" make trends, magazines anything beauty related so you can follow and those who can't follow and are unable to reach that "ideal beauty" become insecure and (blah, blah, blah, I don't know what I'm saying, I should just go to bed already)

About the trends and rating I agree that they mess-up your confidence like for example: the "Don't judge me challenge" campaign that was supposed to be about inside beauty and to end body shaming but ended up the opposite of what it was supposed to be thanks to all of those shallow people putting on a make-up to look like as what they perceived "ugly" and cover the camera and reveal their "beautiful" self (cough) after 4-5hrs of make-up. (Cough)

I know girls are involved in all this ****, I just said guys because it's the thread subject
Whatever, you're right, and it's scary, because when girls see models, they wanna look like them; even unconsciously. The thing is that fashion is ephemeral and changing, it means even if people get the body the want (I mean for ex being thin etc) , one criteria might change , and the race to "perfection" is up again.
Sad, because it looks like people are cursed all their life to try to pursue a changing image that society choose for them. And how do we change that ? Tbh , I don't know ..

PRSOM as well ;P

Sigh, because all the little people at school look at me and say "Gosh, He's so tall", I never know if they like my tallness or are disgusted by it (Guess it doesn't help that I'm pretty thin). Im about 6"1 my friend who is a bigger build than me never gets anyone talking about his tallness. Its weird, i feel pretty self conscious of it though.

always hear girls wanting to wear heels and still be shorter than the guy but i always thought it was just them being superficial and not serious.

This is genuinely something girls consider before talking to guys, 'would he still be taller than me if I wore heels?' I hear this a lot at school, but always have to remind people that it doesn't bother me. The reality is I will not easily find a guy that tall for myself, and anyway I think people need to value more important things such as... personality above height.
