After seeing TikToks talking about short king spring, the movie Tall Girl, leg-lengthening cosmetic procedures, TLC’s My Giant Life, and celeb couples with noticeable height differences - I thought this would be an interesting topic to cover. There is so much discourse and media created about the topic of height. There’s been movies, social media content, and even a whole movement dedicated to people not fitting into the height beauty standard set up by society. It’s cool to see celebrities break these stereotypes like Tom Holland, Joe Jonas, and Zendaya. It’s not our fault that we were born with a specific set of genes and we didn’t get enough nutrients during our time of growth. Is this the newest trend? Plastic Surgery to Make You Taller - Why Height Matters #edvasian

I find the fact that people make such a big deal about a guy being shorter than his gf so weird. I tend to like people around my height so whenever I date a guy, I'm taller than him in heels
Yeah no one really cares, they won’t do it but wouldn’t care if you did
@@ShutupandListen in my experience people REALLY care if I'm taller than a guy
@@vg1384 sorry to say this, but it sounds like your surrounded by shallow people.
@@vg1384 I think it's a cultural thing? I'm italian, I have 4 close friends(3 women, 1 guy) and they all have the "short\average guy+taller woman" dynamic except 1, and never heard anybody making fun of them.
My guy friend's lady is also bigger than him(like, her arm is twice his, he's very skinny), and the height difference between one of my girl friends and her longtime boyfriend is at least 20 cm(around 7 inches), yet never seen nor heard someone making fun of it even once....they themselves have ever been told anything negative about it. My uncle and aunt also have this size dynamic, it's pretty common in my circle of acquaitances tbh
@@DeadKraken My family is Brazilian and I grew up in Canada, in both places its hugely looked down upon for the girl to be talller. If you're the same height, people expect that she stops wearing heels altogether so that she's never taller than the man so he doesn't feel like "less of a man" with her and people will constantly comment on both of your heights (especially in Brazil). My family in Brazil constantly talk about how you need a man taller than you because you want to "better your genes not worsen them" its actually super fucked up, especially since in Brazil the average height is super short but if you're a man less than 180, you are looked down upon.
as a 5'9" woman, the issue I have is not feeling 'cute or feminine, dainty, etc' because of my height.
Well you better fix that, because if people just feel good around but YOU DONT, that’d be a huge problem in your dating life
@@d4mterro320 i get what you mean but no she "better" not she will when she feels like it
Understandable, seems it's screamed at us that petite = feminine
@@d4mterro320 how bout she fixes it because she wants to not cause of a relationship.
Yeah.. it’s hard being a tall girl. Most tall dudes wants 4’2 females.. us tall girls don’t get no love at all.
To all the short kings and amazon queens out there, you are just fine the way you are and your height doesn’t define you. If anyone makes you feel inferior/undesirable because of your height, then you don’t need them and their negativity in your life.
What does Amazon queens mean lol
@@brynn1041pretty sure it’s a reference to the amazon rainforest. basically just tall women
NOT THE AMAZON QUEENS🤣
Plus, the short kings can shatter their shins and amazon queens can just pick them up and yeet them, win win!/hj
If makes you feel insecure means they're insecure not you
I feel like many taller girls, like myself, would benefit from self reflection and working through insecurities related to not feeling feminine and dainty enough, which is often what scares them away from dating shorter guys. The height dilemma is not and has never been a guys v girls problem, but rather a societal misconception about what straight cis couples ought to look like.
And it goes both ways. I remember trying to have this conversation with a shorter man once and boy could he have used some self reflection too smh
Yeah it seems like people are made to believe in a hetero relationship there has to be certain height difference. Never understood where that comes from, I equallylove dating people shorter and taller than me.
Yeah, it's not like billions of years of evolution made most males bigger than females, it's not like it's literally our primal instinct to seek a partner who is bigger than us because that indicates that it's a male, it's not like we instinctively want someone who's fit to protect us and our potential offspring and has good genes, it's all those gosh darn insecurities, self reflection will do the trick.
it’s also a problem that men see smallness as feminine and attractive. nothing hurts more than a guy you like flirting with your short friend or cheating on you with a tiny girl when you’re tall…like thanks, that’s exactly what everyone said you’d prefer. somehow we get picked first for basketball and last for dating. sad lol
I am a short fem. I want to be tall
@@anhelaanhela4996 Even if there was some evolutionary instinct at play, we are capable of thought and choice. At least for myself, insecurity has been a factor when considering dating shorter men. If that's the case, then I think it's worthwhile to reflect on that and work through it so you're not needlessly missing out great partners who just happen to be short.
It’s really sad. I’m a 5’8” woman and I have always liked men who are shorter than me. Height doesn’t matter to me. However I asked my brother why some short men don’t like women taller than them. He said that it’s because a lot of their make friends will mock them for not being “ manly enough “ and thinking that “ the women completely wears the pants in the relationship “. I guess the stigma on short men comes from both sides. I hope shorter men realise how beautiful they actually are. There’s nothing wrong with your height !!!!
I think another issue is media encourages the misconception that "nice guys" (the toxic, needy kind) are jaded, short men.
@@glitzarprincess627 True, those factors come into play. It also doesn't help that for some reason a lot of villains in shows, fictional or not, are shorter guys. They often aren't painted in a good or "normal" light at all. People cling onto stuff like that more than they think they do.
I'm 5ft7in and i always liked guys who were shorter than me too, or same height. Just watching all those women in that line-up all just like 'sorry you're too short', it's just pathetic of them to be like that, especially the woman who was shorter than that guy anyway. Shorter people supposedly have fewer heart issues, taller people are more likely to die from certain kinds of heart disorders. So it's a more ideal thing to be average or short. I wouldn't want to be tall in this world either, even at 5ft7in in England i feel like things are made for much shorter people, and shorter women especially. Even though our average heights are like, 5ft5in for women and 5ft9in for men.
It doesn’t help that there’s tons of girls that would dislike short guys ._. So that probably doesn’t help either with self esteem
yh clothes (esp jeans) are made 4 smaller ppl (im a 5"8/5"9 girl) and i love the long jeans style but i always have to get massive sizes to fit me in length
what confuses me tho is that runway models r all super tall yet clothes in shops are made for shorter ppl? esp since the modelling/fashion industry is obsessed with tall ppl, surely they will make clothes for tall ppl but no😑
My bf is over a foot taller than me but we’re praised for having a “cute height difference” (it’s actually really inconvenient most of the time, my neck is always on the brink of death) while my brother and his gf (whose only 3” taller than him) are constantly teased for their height difference, like it’s seriously the first thing people bring up when they see them.
I dated a girl a few inches taller. We got a lot of negative comments.
god, people who need to interfere on how other relationships (that's already healthy) should look like is really weird, like, you're not dating them??? so why does it matter??
@@worstusernameintheworld9871ig they interfere with other peoples’ relationships cause they don’t have one themselves lol
its a mild inconvenience compared to the halo effect benefits both of you receive. Its actually insulting to complain any inconvenience for it. Its like crying for having too much money and you are inconvenienced not knowing how to launder them all.
Society wants societal norms, it is an unforgivable world and not fulfilling one of its roles means that you are defective, even as simple as the size of married couples. Do not listen to bullies, they merely show their own insecurities.
I really wanted to have this done in middle so I could be taller. Even as a female I was bullied in middle school with nicknames like " pre schooler, baby, tiny" etc.. really brought down my self esteem.. I like to talk to shorter men because I feel comfortable with them. Tall men are intimidating. I can only imagine what men go through. Short men are awesome! Have you guys not seen Lovely Complex! We need more Otani's, in my opinion as long as the couples love each other, despite height differences it shouldn't be anyone else's business. Tall men or short men, tall women or short women we are all amazing individuals and we are all different and awesome.
Yea I'm with you on being a short lady not being all that into tall dudes, nothing sounds less fun than being towered over at all times.
Tall women also intimidating
At least us short people have a better chance living longer and won't have to worry about back and joint problems when we get older, depends on our genetics though.
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 nah
@@geaaa96 Yah, it's proven shorter people live longer than taller people, not saying all but usually people that are shorter have a longer life.
I'm a 153cm woman and I can assure you that it's not an advantage to be this short for any man or woman. I rarely find someone shorter than me. It especially plays on my image.
I'm 21 and I wish people would take me seriously, especially when I dress a certain way, with less coverage, a bit more sensual, badass, with dark clothes. But since I'm a "small" one, everyone see me as cute, younger because of this and my chubbiness/youthful face. It's not like I absolutely hate being called cute but when you're trying hard to being taken seriously and we still treat you as if you were a child and call you a baby or whatever... Shit hurts
Shit I'm 17 and 156cm
I’m also 153 cm! I completely agree. Being short sucks. If I hear someone call me cute one more time I think I’ll punch something!
@@RimFaxxe you still have time to grow a centimiter or two. I wish I was 156cm. I'm 27 years old.
@@zjjir I'm the opposite of that, I like to be given attention so I think that's why it's important for me to not be hidden or at least not be treated as smaller / cuter.
Anyway in our society, we as humans, are so harsh with ourselves, we always wish to have what we don't have. Little wants to be tall and tall wants to be little. We grew up mostly in hating ourselves, not appreciating what our genes gave us.
That's sad but that's how it is. It's a long road before getting to love ourselves. I hope you all can do that, really
My friend is 20 and 149cm 😅
As a 5'5" guy, my biggest fear in life is dying alone. I've never met a woman who's okay with my height, and I could never describe to someone how demoralizing it is. I don't even feel like a person.
They exist and tbh some of the hottest girls I know have shorter partners. It’s usually the basic chicks that get really shallow.
Exactly, seems like you really will be less and less attractive to them if you lose a feeling of being a person cos you're after women who are not okay with a guy of 5'5. How about pursuing valuable goals, being a valuable human, loving life cos you have body at all, and being thankful for it, learning about the Creator etc. You'd instantly realize you don't even have a time for women, especially such women.
Short girl here (5'3). and i just wanna say that some girls (me) love shorter guys or guys who are our height (5'4-5'5). but ur struggle is valid
Nobody will die alone just because of the height , may be go to a new country were you can find more naive women with less preferences and only cares about men who can provide for them instead of superficial ideals ...
@@jiribb9300 Yes, 5'3 and would love a short guy! It's so annoying to have to be constantly craning your neck to simply talk to someone
as a 6'1 female, i have wondered for years if it was possible to somehow take some height off myself through surgery.
it might not seem like it to other people, but being this tall as a woman really can f/CK with your confidence. dating is hell. most men want some small, dainty girl, which YEAH, is cute ig but that's not me sorry.
i'm also constantly getting looks as if i'm some mythical creature. people seem either intimidated or like laughing at me.
not to mention the back problems if you also happen to have a bit of bust...
@@andreamorrone1027 Trust me, 5'7 isn't short. The discrepancy of all of this has made my brain left the chat, and all I can say is this height preference thing society's got goin on is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Plus I know plenty of girls that don't count a certain height as an essential to dating.
@@zjjir Yo but honestly? How is a short girl automatically more attractive? I would think if anything, it would be the opposite. More leggy and stuff. None of this makes sense really. But what can you expect from a society that thinks something like freaking hair and skin color makes a difference.
Trust me i would love to have your height over mine anyday.
And short men and womens weird visions of u domming them???? Like i hate it so much, especially as a bigger tall woman…
these replies is going somewhere
I've been insecure of my height since as long as I can remember, gosh the stigma around height is toxic
Fr, it is one of the beauty standard for men and if you ain't tall a least you got the looks, sadly neither of the two I possessed.
The treatment is vastly different from people which conforms with the society's beauty standard.
I'm a 5'3" guy. I've come across this surgery before and have considered it... the potential long-term complications are rough. This is probably the best video I've seen about it. A lot of people who cover it just go 'AAA BONE BREAKING' and make no effort to understand why people choose to go through such a brutal procedure.
I think the main problem is that if you're a girl, you have to be significantly taller than average for it to make you feel self-conscious. But if you're a guy, just a bit shorter than average and it already makes you self-conscious.
lol even avg (5'9'') is being considered short now like wtf?
Im 5' 4" no issues life is great.
Talking from experience, as a guy, just being average is enough...
@@occultsupport5’9 is considered short? what 💀
yeah ik it isn't but 'cause of height inflation and all people have started considering 5'10'' as the average (even though it isn't)@@pmzaii
I swear, as a woman who’s been 6 foot 1 since I was like 13-14, nothing annoys me more than hearing the phrase “just step on them”. I remember I got into a really abusive relationship my freshman year, and when I tried to tell people about it all they would tell me is “oh you’re like a foot taller than him, just step on him” and what people failed to realize is that it’s about the mental hold people have over you. Sure I may be taller than them, but people like bullies play mind games to make you think you’re inferior because you’re taller than the woman’s “average height”.
Also when you’re so much bigger than people you can’t really throw hands because you’d just destroy them. It wouldn’t be a fair fight so you just take the abuse since the second you do anything you’re the bad person.
I get this, plus it's stupid bc people who are bigger than others don't need to have it in their mind that no matter what's going on, they can just forcefully end a conflict in their own brute-like way. Like no, that just makes me think of all the straight cis relationships where guys get abusive or even just overly abrasive for that reason. - I am extremely sorry to hear you were in a relationship like that though. Stuff like that shouldn't be taken lightly. You deserve better than that, and to be heard.
Haha yep… i was SA and the first time i ever opened up to someone they dismissed me because i guess someone of my size cannot be assaulted?
@@evelynvslife what?
@@evelynvslife I don't know, if you are sarcastic but just because someone is tall doesn't mean they are automatically strong. I have absolutely no strength in my arms.
This video hits all the boxes actually, and as a almost 6 feet tall 15 year old female I can say that yeah there's some hate but most people parse me for being tall. Most people in my age group is tall so being short is the weird thing to me. I'm way taller than my parents , and bruh yes we bend a lot and sitting in a car/bus is hard ,I got big a$$ feet and I'm a girl. But my height [and big hands] is where most my pride comes from so yeah I generally love my height and would to get taller. LOVE the video btw.
Girl I'm 5'2 and it's space efficient but being 6"0 would be so cool as well because tall people have a more powerful presence
u're the coolest what are u even talking about????
I'm a guy that's only 5'4 to 5'5, I'm skinny to the bone and too short. I'm 19 and going to college , there going be people towering over me lol.
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 but people will also appreciate you for your strengths, don’t get down on yourself for this
Bro all men in my family have abnormal hight and foot size, like to the point they shop at specific store. For the resord, it's 14.5 and up. My brother can't buy himself Nikes or any normal shoes. Just like you said about posture, not to mention the fact that all of them barely fit in seats designed for average person. Observing my sibling's struggles I'm so glad to being average enough to get my shoes from men's section as a girl , but still people sometimes judge my big ass feet as being "man's feet" smh
As a 4’11” woman who would have probably considered this surgery when I was younger, I’m glad that I’ve learned to become more confident with my body so I didn’t have to spend $75k! 😳
Some 😅
Well no one makes fun of women for being short, not in a mean way anyway
yesss, I'm shorter than you but I've also learned to love my shortness ! ♥️
@@nobodythenobody9779and? no one makes fun of tall guys either lol
@@meli77628short guys suffer more than short girls. Faxxx. Im 5'7 myself and I confirm this lol
I have a bone disability so i spent the majority of my childhood at Shrines hospital, and I have seen quite a few kids get this surgery, and when the nurse went in to do the separation procedure, I would hear the kid screaming! It was just awful! My daughter has the same disorder as I do, and she also went to Shrines as a kid, and there was talk of her getting the surgery, it wasn't necessary so I opted to wait until she was old enough to make that decision on her own! These men that got this done must really REALLY feel the need to do it!
I had a friend who said the same thing and said “the only thing good about being 5’8 is that I scare everyone away and yeah reach certain things but nothing fits me!” I feel kinda bad I’m tall but I never realized it actually affected people since I actually wanted to grow taller a year ago and I did.
@@leeArinisdamntired. RIGHT! I know that things aren't always easier on the other end of the spectrum. We may not have the exact same issues, but you have your issues just the same! I worked with a girl that was 6 feet tall, and we developed a system that worked out great for the 2 if us! There were things that were hard for her because of being tall!
As a 6ft 1" woman, I can be honest.... it was a problem as a teen.
I wasn't even counted as a "girl" by our guy friends. I didn't get mentioned as too this or that or "hot or not" , I genuinely never made the category. I HATED it. I hated seeing short girls act all cute, most clothes don't actually fit my proportions, because guess what I am also not rail thin.
So yeah, less than fun.
Yeah I can understand and have seen girls use that to their advantage then again guys like to feel "manly" when next to a short girl, I do hate how unbalance femininity and masculinity people have been conditioned to think and believe
I'm 5'9 I've never had an issue with my height...but my weight adshgkjshgk
It honestly is really unhelpful people saying you're tall like a model if your just not built like one (I have very broad shoulders and a longish torso). I'm just kinda tall and buff these days and have learned how to sew so my clothes actually fit. But it took me years to figure out how I like to look and even longer to achieve that.
So now I look like a beautiful elegant lady, honestly I find a lot of trans women are much more relatable in how they talk about femininity and presenting as feminine without just being swallowed up by the concept. Achieving peace with how you look and express yourself takes a long time. And obs my experience isn't really the same...I just found it really helpful, and I'm always blown away with how respectful and understanding some trans women are when talking about different aspects of femininity and actual female bodies (e.g. post birth, aging, cellulite, certain types of fat distribution) which are natural if your born afab but aren't seen as "feminine".
But one time I did break down a door, which was pretty metal.
I'm a short quite feminine (long hair, Make-up, flower dresses, etc.) woman and at my new job I often count as one of the guys, because of my job and how we talk to eacg other. It's not always just the height.
@@SaheeliRai the urge to say "obviously it's not a height issue for you. You're short...."😁
But in all honesty my comment was more about teen years/school experience/puberty age. As an adult now it is very different , I have come to accept my height because, well I can't change it, there's no shoe I can wear that magically makes me shorter. I understand your point completely as i work on a lot of building sites myself and I'm not exactly a real life princess, but my initial one was more a response to the video reference to the "highschool" experience and the netflix film.
Not a dig here, just clarification of what I was referring to.
@@hatthecat123 I'm actually started to think I'm non binary for the fact that I dont dress or present myself as feminine per se. Obviously clothing doesnt dictated femininity or masculinity since men have worn skirts and boots and women wear pants no heels. For looks, I feel I just am. Again self grooming goes both ways. So what determines if you're feminine or masculine? I certainly dont feel like I'm either. Been curious why I dont feel or act how normal people feel and act.
5:53 It's really cool how little time the human body needs to recover. I had open heart surgery. My ribs healed up enough to sit up within a day. They discharged me in a week with the only safety instructions being "Sleep on your back and don't get up by putting weight on the sides."
The fact that I was able to stand after a day is AWESOME.
Ayo wait I can genuinely answer the question "is one of your limbs longer than the other after breaking it?" I broke my foot last year, like shattered into sever pieces, and yeah the doctors assured me new bones would just grow in the empty space so I wouldn't need surgery. Long story short, yeah one of my feet has more bone in it than the other now to a noticeable degree.
Now you just need to find someone who broke the opposite foot and you can swap shoes whenever you buy a pair.
@@TicTocRobotSnot Lol!
interesting! so do you wear different sized shoes or is the difference minimal enough for it to not be noticeable from a distance?
It' s TOTALLY normal, Caesarino. The foot has a zillion mini tarsal bones so breaking a foot is another story than a "clean" femur or humerus fracture. The doctors assured that your body would create new bone cells but it didn' t happen🤷🏻♀️. Try to get an appointment with a chiropractor specialized in feet to see if some adjustements can be done. Good luck 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Break the other foot so it evens out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a girl who’s way below average height for my age, I’ve always felt like nobody would take me seriously just because I’m short. And it also led me to have this toxic mindset that “oh, if you’re taller than me, then you’re just better than me.” Luckily, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown out of that mindset and have a much healthier way of dealing with that insecurity, but sometimes, I still feel like I’m “less” because of my height.
I lost a few jobs saying I’m tiny n don’t look mature enough smh it sucks
I'm not a girl but I've been mistaken as a kid in any way because of my height...I hate that now height is a must..
You know when I was younger people will use me as a fetish a lot (mostly old men trying to sexualize me) but also not taken seriously bc I look like a child..
As a 5’5” guy this is really something I needed to hear. Growing up I always had the feeling of being morally or socially inferior because I was the shortest kid in most of my classes. Great to know I’m not alone!
Because you are less, we are less. Short people, especially guys, bit girls as well, are genetic garbage and we have to make up for it
dawg i’m like 5’ and a trans guy 😭😭
I'm 5'6", bisexual and a dude. I could say I didn't care about height but I feel like I would be lying. I've always been atracted to men and women my height (or at least around my height). I guess I really like people eye level to me. And I always assumed, as a kid, that people did this (like shorter people dating shorter people and taller people dating taller people) but now I see I'm in the minority lol.
no i 100% agree!!! i’m 5’2.5 and someone within 2-5 inches of my own height is ideal, its so uncomfortable cuddling with someone much much bigger & honestly painful- though height would never be a dealbreaker. i’m also bisexual so maybe that plays into it loll
No man your not alone I honestly am the same way. I would love someone who is literally my height or at least around my height. Cause I feel the same way. Someone being at eye level with me is so comforting for some reason lol idk why 😂. Maybe cause I’ve always been a bit taller than average growing up. Even though I’m actually not that that tall I’m only around 5”7 or 5’8. I used to think I was really tall but I’ve seen countless amount of people taller than me as of now. Back then everyone was shorter than me and I guess that’s why I really want someone who is at my eye level.
wow i'm a girl and i've always thought same height relationships would be super cute, kinda like a wholesome friendship but to the next level. it's actually odd how my friend who's shorter than me wants a 6' dude and would have a giant height difference like a father and daughter 😭😭😭 no hate to ppl who do like that height dynamic tho 💔 i just think same height relationships r super underrated
@@cowbananahonestly same! i feel like if you want to show affection, it would be easier if both sides were closer in height (tho it can be cute when the height difference is slightly more too) and you don't have to strain your neck when taking to your partner lmao
Prob cause you are b I feel the same (pan)sadly people my size with healthy proportions and pretty faces are fucking rare.
“Not just that you have to wear mens size shoes”. That’s actually much more of an issue growing up than you’d think. As an adult it’s easy to move on with life, but it’s really demoralising when you want to feel like a cute teen girl but literally every store you go to doesn’t carry any shoes in your size. I was bullied a lot for being a tall female and honestly still have serious body issues because of it. As an adult I would be fine to date someone shorter, but as a kid the idea terrified me. If parents just taught their kids not to bully others, I think society could move on from all this height nonsense.
fr though, i still look back at how i couldn't buy Any cute shoes when i was younger and had to stick to sneakers when i was dreading to wear heels or cute sandals
In my case was the opposite it could be the big difference in culture in my country as i was praised for being really tall for my age i found it cool and was a pride for my parents ,and specially good to bond with my dad to have to buy male shoes or being seing as masculine or older,etc now university i started to hate my big feet shoulders cheeks everything i wanted to bad to look cute i resented how in jobs i was more chastised than cute girls,in my case more than society i think is i dont fulfill the expectations that are created but my appearence
lol I got bullied for being short
srsly like doesn't matter. u get bullied if you are short and u get bullied if you are tall. still now someone comments on my height. I just go like so? watchu gonna do abt that lol
o.o
I’m sorry you were bullied. You didn’t deserve that.
i have leg length discrepancy nd this has me going throughout the 5 stages of grief. i have to do this on one of my legs but not for aesthetic reasons):
Sammeee, I managed to avoid it but my god doing it voluntarily. No
Same I had the surgery and it was considered a failure die to issues with the device. Went through all that for hardly a difference made.
@@illusionsoulspark did you get the surgery in Vegas?
As a 4’11” girl I find my height pretty funny for my age, I like to joke a bit about my height sometimes because all of my friends are taller yet I’m older then them. It would be pretty nice to be taller but the doctors said I’m staying like this forever, so I just wear platform shoes lol
Im 4'8 and 17 yrs old, I can't do this anymore 😭
I always find it funny when dudes that are like 5'10" 5'11" get so pressed about not being 6' online. Like bro, on a macrosocial scale yes your height does affect your life chances/outcomes, whatever. But if you actually go out and live a life, barring being a dwarf of a giant, you'll find it doesn't matter as much as you believe it to
And if you're like 5'11, you'll be 6ft tall if you wear shoes anyway.
@@liyre4189 yea and most of them have similar body type as a 6 footer so it doesn’t really matter unless they have super short legs and long torso then it might look dramatic
Exactly neither should they complain much. They're above the average height if you live in America.
i feel like nobody really cared too much about height until now. Everybody self conscious asf
@@liyre4189 but everyone wears shoes so a real 6ft person would be 6'1 which doesn't change anything 😶
This makes me laugh, because as a tall person who's VERY close to 6ft I wish I was shorter. It's so awkward being tall, taller than most friends and family. Clothes are hard to shop for, car rides aren't fun, people ask stupid questions, hugging puts your chest in people's faces 💀 and I can go on.

@@Sabrina-vc9yt Yes I am, hence even more discomfort. I've learned so long ago to avoid hugging. 🤣
I used to hate being tall when i was in high school but now i grew out of it and absolutely love every single inch that i have. It happen naturally as i started socialize more and realize that my height is perfect and being tall is beautiful asf.
as a bi person, i want to put face in tall ladys chest 🥰
I too am nearly 6 feet tall but I love it! I wish clothes were easier to shop for though lol, but I notice the more expensive the clothing is the better it fits.
Yeah I'm a 6' 1 female, and I have always just wanted to be a few inches shorter because of the reasons you listed
Once in a store I saw a very tall girl, she was probably taller than 2 meters. She was absolutely stunning. Her proportions and everything... sometimes if a person is very, very short or very, very tall their proportions can look a little bit weird (happens with average sized people too, just saying height may affect this as well) but there was absolutely nothing off about her proportions or anything about her appearance. Infact it's like every detail about her was perfect. Didn't see her up close so I don't mean like her eyelashes, not that detailed. Just like her arms and legs and torso were just so beautiful. Just so beautiful. It's very rare but it happens occasionally that I see someone extremely beautiful and then can't remember how they looked like as well as one would expect to remember. And I can tell it will be the case while I look at them. Because literally while I look at them it is hard to compute their looks. It's hard to process what I'm seeing. So this of course affects memory. After I can't see them anymore my recollection is very deficient. That girl was stunning.
That's rare
I’m a 6ˋ1/186cm girl and I fucking love it. Even though it’s hard because it plays less into white feminity considering that I’m mixed (black/white). But it makes me feel a lot safer around men and generally stronger and more intimidating, which is something I enjoy but is also necessary
This, I'm so happy to be 5'9 (175-180cm) because I feel less intimidated around men. I really don't like the fact that I'm genetically weaker than most men and that I'd most certainly lose in a fight or if I was to be assaulted, so I'll take every advantage I can get. It's also a lot easier to find people in a crowd when you can see over most people's heads
mixed guy here , i am big on "energy" people's height never prevents me from "feeling" vulnerability. . I am 184 cm that's still 6ft and not 6ft1 and i dated a mixed girl with similar height .we were mistaken for siblings all the time . home girl had 8 siblings all the same mother all of them well over 6ft

I live in Southern California where there's probably a majority latino population, and the average height around here is a lot lower than the national average, so height is like a non issue around here. Which is great for me, because I'm a 5' 1" trans guy and I know tons of cis men who are at or even below my height. And at the same time, I have a cousin who's a 6' 3" tall woman lol. Humans are diverse and bizarre, and that's cool as hell. Short kings rise up 👑
Yesss, lived in an area with many latino guys and I was usually taller, I'm not quite a short king being at the average for white guys, but I have been made to feel smaller than I am height wise for not being near/at 6ft by both cis men and women.
And sometimes just dealing with cis men my height acting pissed that I am not shorter than them, tis a weird idea putting roles and more on someone's height.
Love this 💚💚💚
I’m 5’10 gay Latino. So I can confirm that height for me isn’t really an issue when I’m dating other Latino guys, they mostly fall around 5”8. I haven’t really dated anyone taller than me ☠️I haven’t dated white guys, but from what I see if your not 6ft, it’s like a bad thing.
Same with Florida. At 5'8 I was taller than literally every single Hispanic guy by at least 2 or 3 inches.
i’m young but i’m 1.40 so i’m pretty short but as latino, yeah i have met people shorter than me

@@randomuruk7230 If you search on google you will realize that in the vast majority of countries the average male height is bellow 5'10
Lol as a guy i would love to be 5'10. I dont really get why women are insecure about being tall, they look just as feminine as the short ones. I would never reject a girl for being too tall or short.
You have never been with a guy shorter than you, and you never will. Spare us your virtue signalling lies
Honestly being a 6'3" woman in my early twenties I can safely say I have less problems with people being jerks than I did awhile ago. Honestly the most annoying thing is my stupidly long legs making me almost constantly fetishized.

obsessing over height in a partner is so weird to me, like yeah I have a slight preference for taller girls, but as a tall girl myself I often end up with shorter girls, and that's fine cause who really cares?? I can't understand rejecting someone purely because of height
It boils down to if that person can protect the other should a stranger attempt to hurt them. As you said that you are taller, you are more capable in handling an average aggressor than someone who might have a shorter stature

as a 6'5 women i can tell you i was very much bullied for my hight. Like severely bullied. i was very shy so being tall was kinda like having a target on my back. Im always super worried about my appearance because, not to sound conceited or anything, but people are quite literally always looking at me. I've gotten used to it now and i have more confidence so i dont really care what people think of me anymore, but i dont like being the center of attention which is difficult when you literally look like 2 kids stacked on top of each other.
As a 5'10 "guy, I once dated a woman who was 6'3. We got some stares. But then I realized a lot of people wanted to have what I had, including my guy friends & trust me guys tell each other everything. If people stare at you, they are in awe of you usually.

Yeah but also I don't think the dutch are as height obsessed as many other countries. I mean girls around me never talked about the guy having to be over a certain height and some of the quite short guys were popular. Also I'm a short girl and no one made an issue about that either. I'm sure girls still like a guy taller than they are but it doesn't seem to be so important in the Netherlands. Most I got was that it was funny to sea me walk next to my best friend as he was so much taller than me he looked like he was walking in slow motion to my little fast steps.and that was just goodnatured from our friends.
I'm a 6'2 woman and dating isn't necessarily hard. I've been rejected for my height quite a bit but the right kinda of men don't care... unless height is a fetish for them... then it gets creepy. the main issue I run into is clothing. it's hard to kind clothing that fits well

Thank you so much 💕
@@micheltarget1509 I don't have any height preferences and height doesnt influence my attraction. Nearly all of the men I have dated (which has been 3) have been shorter then me in varying degrees. I've had crushes on men who ranged in height starting in 5'4 all the way to 6'0. Height really means nothing as long as I like them as a person. My first boyfriend (who I dated for 8 years until we unfortunately grew apart) was 5'7. My boyfriend now (2 years in) happens to be 6'0 but that's still shorter then me lol. It took him awhile to get used to the height difference because he has only dated short women until we met lol. But overall, from my expirence, height affects nothing as long as I like them as a person. However, it does take me awhile to become attracted to someone anyways. I have to be friends with someone for at least a year before I can develop romantic feelings. I never go off of physical appearance but I am still incredibly selective. So many other factors have to be met before that first date lol. I like to establish if a person is good and treats other people with respect. Do we have similar intrests? Can we respect each other's interests if they aren't similar? Can our lifestyles work together? Can we respect each other's boundaries? Can we communicate well? Are we respectful of eachother? These are things I like to establish through friendship and physical things like height have never influenced that decision lol. I just strive to have a long healthy relationship with a good person, that is all.

@@brago_ I’m so sorry to hear that :(. I have definitely seen far too many posts about men having a hard time due to height and that’s unfortunate and uncalled for. However, I have a very different approach to dating. I have to know the person for AWHILE before I develop romantic feelings. I’m legitimately interested in personality. The hottest guy could be interested in me and I still wouldn’t date them unless we have been friends for awhile and I knew they were a good person. Appealing physical attributes are nice, but, if I don’t like them as a person, their appearance or height means absolutely nothing for me.
The guy I had a crush on who was 5’4 was an awesome dude. He and I had been friends for a couple years. He was hilarious, kind, polite, and a down to earth dude. I couldn’t help but to have a crush on him after I got to know him as a person. I did confess my feelings to him and he turned them down politely. I just wasn’t his type but that’s okay! We remained friends for a couple years after that but unfortunately moved apart as friends due to life. He moved away, we lost contact, etc. etc.
Anyways, that being said, there is always hope! Women aren’t a monolith, we all have different preferences.
I have a lot of short guy friends (5’3-5’9) who are happily married. They met their significant others in a variety of ways. It can happen! Don’t be daunted by online dating, it’s incredibly toxic, but there are a few gems out there.
You should do a whole series on male beauty standards. Genetics are weird. My great-grandma was 5'11" but my mom's sister only 4'11". They would ask the doctor what was wrong with her cuz they thought she would at least be my mom's height if not taller. I think tall girls are elegant like Princess Diana and Michelle Obama. Runway models are never short.
5''11 for the granny generation is like a giant because in the past people were shorter. as a male if i was 4''11 i'd be beyond frustrated because men truly mistreat shorter dudes i have seen how my asian male friends in class were treated compared to the micro petite skinny asian female counterparts especially the female with a high pitched baby doll voices. they rank high . its precious little yellow fever for the white boys.
@@PHlophe So funny you say that cuz I always thought my great-grandma was a giant - she was taller than my great-grandfather. He was maybe 5'8" so he was noticeably shorter than she was.

I'm short & I only get teased about my height by short to average height men (my guess is they are insecure). The tall guys I've dated don't tease or worry about me being shorter, they actually love it and make me feel beautiful. My height doesn't bother them. The most offensive stuff are usually from the shortest men who are only 1-2 inches taller than me, which shocks me every time. It's like a pot calling a kettle black.
Yeah short guys are so awful
@@damien4969relax
I'm 5'9", and never minded my height on its own terms (though buying pants is a chore, and airplanes can be very uncomfortable), but other people made it into an issue my entire life. Interestingly, every boyfriend I've ever had has been shorter than me, but multiple guys who were my own height or just slightly taller were made insecure by my height and had no interest in dating me as a direct result of our similarities in stature. Some very bizarre cultural conditioning there.
However, where my height WAS a huge detriment was in my chosen career field. I had trained to be a professional dancer and eventually switched my focus to acting because my height was considered a major flaw (5'6" is often ideal for a lot of companies and choreographers, and the taller you get from there the bigger an issue it becomes). I was so tired of having to work three times harder to make up for my sin of being tall; acting was only slightly better though. I still ran into more closed doors than you'd believe. I got asked a few times to take off my shoes in auditions only for them to realize I was already in flats, was told that I was difficult to cast because my face projected one type and my body another, lost multiple jobs because I was as tall or taller than the men they wanted...totally ridiculous. It's no secret that society's conception of gender is messed up, but our conception of femininity especially screams, "These rules were made up by the most fragile of men."
Amen to that, my tall sister.
Thee way the movie industry rejects anyone not conforming, while making non-conformity the focal point of many actors and actresses careers is...baffling tbh
I can kind of get why your height didn't work that well in the dance field, even tho I've seen tall female dancers(even tho they were not professionals, it was my country's version of Dancing with the Stars lol) with equal or shorter male dancers, make it work very well, but I absolutely don't understand being rejected due to height in live-action productions.
I mean, we are in an age where actors and actresses conform way less than they did in the past, there are women like Gwendoline Christie that have made their height a major feature, instead of something to hide, social media is literally obsessed with tall women, and casting directors still send home female candidates because of height?😑

being 5’9 as a woman was definitely damaging to my self esteem as a young teen, and it really shines through now that i’m a junior in high school. it was really harmful feeling ‘big’ as opposed to all my tiny female friends, or even the ones who were average height. my height and my insecurities about it have always warped my body image and impacted my self esteem VERY negatively. i know throughout my teens years, that boys have never seen me as feminine or ‘dainty’ and i tried very hard to force myself into be hyper feminine as a freshman just to feel like a woman. it’s very sad but growing up, i constantly felt like i was fighting an unrealistic standard for me to be short and feminine for men to love me
I guess it depends on your friend group. When I was growing up, being seen as feminine or dainty would have been considered embarrassing and it was always cool to be tall. It wasn’t bad to be short either, but I think the short girls experienced more pressure to act tough and prove how athletic they were.

I’ve known my best friend since we were in middle school and her mom is about 5’10. Her parents had gotten divorced before we met so I rarely ever saw her dad. All of the men her mom would date however were shorter than her. Whenever she would break up with one of them, she would never mention their height as a factor. It was always because they cheated or they began to become toxic or they just wanted to be friends. She helped me realize that when looking for a relationship, to look for how the person makes you feel and treats you rather than their appearance
As a really tall girl, its hard sometimes. Most other people in my age group (15-16) are actually shorter than me, sometimes I feel like the odd one out. Im even taller than most of the boys in my school. It brings me down because sometimes I don't feel "cutesy" or femine enough, I fell awkward instead. Jeans are to short for my legs, and dresses that go down to my feet are hard to find.

I'm from The Netherlands and I'm around 175 cm (5'8/5'9 ish i think), the average height for women here is 5'7, but a lot of them are taller and it's so interesting to me that a lot of girls in the comments that are around my height say stuff like feeling they're not 'dainty' enough. It's strange to me that height is equated with dainty, or that dainty is even a positive thing, or that height is inherently related to being feminine. That is such a non-issue here, that it feels so estranging to hear that women think that way?
They associate dainty with being smaller than their men (given that they are in a hetero relationship). In the Netherlands men are equally tall to their female counterparts so women taller than the average (lets say 5'4 although it depends on where you are from) will still feel small. Personally it's not a big deal, I'd date a guy my height although there aren't many 5'3 guys where I live.
same here. you can be dainty even when your tall tho? like have they not ever seen a Victoria secret fashion show? VS models? they are like angels and dainty and TALL.

Thank you all the tall woman's who didn't give a shit to the stereotypes of the society to not date a short man. You guys definitely deserve the best as you guys aren't cutting a huge part for the sake of height . 💕
It's interesting how things like height or hair are gender-reaffirming. I saw a thread mentioning hair implants and treatments for men being more gender-reaffirming and accessible than actual treatments for trans people looking for similar things. It's just something really interesting to think about. As someone who is considered short by the reigning population, especially because both my parents are very firmly *tall* I actually knew about height surgery for a long time. It was borderline illegal for a while except in certain countries because of the techniques used, but the developments have made a lot of traction and I really do think it coincides with the pressure of online dating. Height is something so massive now that I don't think used to be scrutinised the way it is today-- likewise, it wasn't a celebration for a man to be short and just... live his life being short.
there's also something very interestingly American/Euro-centric about these surgeries. dunno, growing up in a very diverse environment, I'm way more used to men two inches taller than me than seven or eight. something to think about... but anyways, great vid!
Lol I'm a 5'8.5" Mexican girl. I'm bound to be taller than a lot of the guys near me. And I'm okay with that. Whether they will, who knows?
Two of my cousins are 6'3/6'5. They always mention the bone pain and the aches, as well as the small amount of leg room on planes, in theatre, and on public transit. I think the pain sounds the worst. Like gravity is fighting them.
My tall friends used to complain about getting pins in their hands and feet, some of them getting pretty bad spine deformities which you couldn't really see but they could definitely feel. I've wanted to be taller (I'm the most average height you can imagine) but then I remember all the comforts I'd have to give up like my body functioning as it's supposed to and finding shoes and clothes in my size everywhere I go. Imagine being crammed somewhere and not even having any room to stretch your legs anyhow. That's terrifying.
I hate that the reality is that you'll have difficulties on either end of the spectrum, with a higher chance of being made fun of, turned away, or fetishized rather than accepted for who you are. I'm just.. ugh. I'm so done. I am so bitter about it. I couldn't think up a more stupid societal problem if I were paid to.
@@Toxihex You're both are delusional. 6'3-6'5 isn't height which you struggles in daily live. Pain in body cause height, only possible if you 7' and over in mid age, and doesn't fit yourself in good shape
Sources?
im 6'2 i dont feel any pain my brother is 6'4 and he doesnt aswell! its not abt their height probably a diff problem stop coping
I am a 5'8.5'' man and until I start to visit the online dating platforms I had ZERO height insecurity. When I started to read about what kind of men the girls are looking for I started to develop a height insecurity and a little depression quickly followed. It is a quick way to feel awful about the totality of your physical being.
bruh you're not even remotely short
@@AC-mp7cx Yeah maybe, but that's not the point. You could be 6' and feel bad about yourself if you constantly compare your physical appearance.
@@talhabedir3812 WHAT? dude you are literally ''average''..you are not short....where are you from?
@@zefsagala8327 I am from Turkey. Yeah it's the average here. But it is still possible to compare yourself to what you are not.
@@talhabedir3812 the dating apps that you are using must be American apps..thats why they demand men to be above 6 foot tall...am i right?
Okay. I'm 4'10 and i have known about the heightening surgery since i was like 14 and I'm so so glad to hear someone else talk about it because it blew my marbles out my head to find out about. Also i knew there was a wage gap but what the big fuck.
I was a gymnast so I was really short until after I quit - I always liked being tiny. Now I’m almost 5’6” and before meeting my fiance’ I dated a man who was 5’5” and that was never a problem for either of us. I was a little taller, he was a little shorter. I think it’s really awful how beauty standards not only shape how some people engage with themselves, but also with others. The whole thing saddens me. Oh - and Ed - I broke my right leg multiple times and its the same as the left one ;)
Tall women aren't attracted to short men
I’m only 5’5 and I’ve never really cared much for height. I really like cute and feminine guys so I’m typically more attracted to guys of the same height, since shorter guys often have to compensate by acting ultra masculine which is a huge turn off for me. I’m very picky about a lot of things in my partner, but height just seems like such an unnecessary insecurity. I’d love to find shorter guys to do makeup with and date, but it’s hard enough finding a guy secure in his masculinity to share my interests, so I just seek out the personalities and hobbies I hope to find in a partner and compromise on the rest.
Oooh I get you. Feminine guys >>>
Relatable, I want a best friend before I want a partner. It is difficult to find people who have the same perspective or perception as I do, I am me and you are you, that's all I ever see because what I see is beyond physical appearances. Alas majority of people especially men only care about fetishes or specific body parts (ass, boobs, lips etc) and sex, not the person. Thanks media/society for sexualizing women. Anyways I am picky myself on who I want to be around with
Sameee like jimin 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Same
My boyfriend is so cute and feminine, he looks like a fae! 🥰❤️
even as a 5’6 woman people have made me feel really tall and not “feminine” enough, so I cant even imagine what women taller than me go through. It’s like I have to be 4’11 to be considered cute and feminine 🙄
I on the other hand want to be taller. I get ridiculed for looking like a kid. You can't have it both ways ig.
Girl me too, I'm the same height and I wore platform sneakers once, and got called a GIANT. I was like....well thanks
@@CipherDorito exactly, it’s like some people aren’t tall enough and then some people aren’t short enough 😭🤚 it’s ridiculous
@@anitaduchens NO BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO 😭🤚
I am 4'11 and my age is 13 ....I'm literally doing excersises and workouts to get tall... I got sooo bullied at school that at this point I'm even listening to Subliminals... I always got jealous of people with tall height... Glad to know Tall people's perspective too :)
You are the only youtuber literally the only one that completely unintentionally I watch your videos in the mornings or you upload right before I go to the gym so I watch your videos on the dreadmil at 10 in the morning and you are the only youtuber that I watch that says good morning in the intro and I feel so seen and reply in my head "good morning to you too". Just wanted you to know that you are the first person to say to me good morning in the mornings and that makes my day so much. Especially the days I go to the gym I'm so miserable (cause I have like 4 lessons after) but you make me feel like a beautiful butterfly ate one of the worms in my head :)
My sister had an untreated hairline fracture in one leg as a child (from doing something she wasn’t supposed to so she didn’t tell our parents) and years later it was discovered one leg is about 1/2” shorter than the other 🤷🏻♀️ But…I don’t know why someone would voluntarily go through that!
I'm barely 5'1 and played sports throughout my school years. It was tough. I envied the taller girls. Everyone was taller than me, especially in that arena. There were just things I was incapable of doing. I was still a prominent sports player but it didn't come nearly as easy to me. Even with my 95 lb frame my butt and thighs were larger proportionally. I just wanted beautiful long luxurious legs and to be able to spike and block a volleyball with ease like the other girls. I guess you want what you can't have.
I'm sure there are tall Queens that wished they were short Queens like you.
As a 5'2 man people dont even complain about you being short anymore, they just pick you up to make themselves feel stronger therefore giving you game
My boyfriend is shorter than me and i am not really a tall girl (like 5'5) and used to feel insecure about it but realized i only felt insecure about it because i felt like i had to be insecure about it. I do also get this insecurity that tall girls get where i feel less feminine being the taller one but i've stopped caring so much about it. The height of my boyfriend doesn't define my femininity.
im in the same position as you, im kinda short (5'3) and my boyfriend is noticeably shorter than me - im insecure about it but i know he is even more so, youre insight is very eye-opening but how did you stop being so insecure about it?
@@swagboss9348 I suppose it just takes a lot of self reflection. I realized i don't actually mind my boyfriend being shorter, i just minded people pointing it out or seeing it as odd. I questioned why people might think it's odd and some reasons could be that they think shorter men are weaker and less masculine. I realized that toxic idea of a short men not being masculine enough is just as toxic as taller women not being feminine enough. Not to forget even the idea of a men having to strive for super masculinity and women striving for super femininity being toxic in of itself. So i kind of challenged myself mentally in that aspect. I realized, who gives a shit, i'm not dating a height or a look, i'm dating a person with a personality and that's what matters. I feel safe around him and i feel good so why tf would i give a shit if people think the man should be taller in a relationship. Also not to be superficial but short men can be hella attractive and masculine so why limit yourself to tall men only 🤷♀️
@spacebuns i don't feel insecure about my height, i used to feel insecure about my boyfriend being shorter than me
Omg yes, thank you for this comment ❤️ gave me the right words to say.
@@delightfuldaisy3520 i'm happy my comment was helpful to you 😊
Height is such a non-issue. If it's not so extreme one way or the other that it's getting in the way of having a functional life.
right like it shouldn't be that deep lmao
The height this is in my opinion not just about being tall enough though. Its also being short enough for a lot of woman. Just like shorter men, a lot of tall woman are often seen as undesirable because a lot of men want a short and petit woman since its cute and what not. Like literally almost all of my guy friends that I asked said they want to date someone whos short and wouldn’t date someone whos taller than them.
Im personally quite tall for a woman ig and I honestly rly don’t mind height when it comes to my partner, if they are talk that fine and if they are short that fine too, I just want them to be alright with my height aswell.
It took me a really long time to get more comfortable with my height, but in still to insecure to wear heels because it will make me so much taller. :/
I think the whole tall guy small woman is just a social construct.
Like shaving for women. You can not do it but you get looked at and if you are an insecure person you properbly can't deal with it well.
I'm a 6 feet tall woman. As a kid I got bullied because of it and the amount of adults telling me "oh it will be hard to find a taller man hahaha" was mind-blowing.
Hello , I want to know that , does height matters for you when you see a man as your boyfriend or husband, does it really matter for you ? And do you feel the attraction for short guys like 5'6"-5'8". Can you please elaborate with the answers , Thank you 😊
@@micheltarget1509 honestly I don't really know.
I think a mans height does matter for me but not because I think it is more attractive. More like that the society i live in says a man should be taller than a woman.
Kinda like shaving for women 🤷♀️
@@Thlayli09 well. so, that means you never felt attraction towards a short man ? Like 5'6"-5'8" ?
By the way, are you from India ?
@@micheltarget1509 That's not even that short. Stop with your stolen valor.
@@Thlayli09 But how come people think it's weird for a shorter man to date a taller woman but for gay couples their height doesn't matter at all?
I'm short, but when I still dated men there were some that were VERY height conscious, asking me how tall I am, wanting to compare because me being slightly taller in my shoes made him insecure. I didn't really care about their height UNTIL they started doing all those things.
I'm a 5'11'' woman, and from my experience it's only "okay" to be tall if you're more girly. I hit my final height at around eighth grade and at the time I was super tomboyish. Coupled with the fact that I had really short hair and always wore hoodies/jeans, a girl screamed when I walked into the bathroom one day because she assumed I was a guy. At that time it devastated me and I did a complete 180 with my style - I started growing my hair out and I started wearing makeup and dresses. Suddenly, the next year at school, everyone was complimenting me (whereas before I had lots of bullies). If it happened to me today I would just laugh and be like "eff your standards". I'd consider myself at a happy medium now between being girly and tomboyish. But it seems like tall women are more acceptable the more feminine they are.
On another note, one thing that frustrates me is a trend of size differences. As you discussed, many men only like dating women who are shorter than them. I may not be quite 6ft, but even the men taller than me seem to prefer dating women who are way shorter. I don't get it. I would totally date a man shorter than me so long as he's my type and maintains himself well. Heck, I have an aunt who's 1 inch shorter than me who married a guy who's 5'7''. They've had a great marriage.
Wow, it sounds like that woman screaming at you traumatised you into changing your entire identity. This is literally what it feels like being a man who accidentally walks into any traditionally female area.
I love how the tall girls in the comments are now victimizing themselves 🤣 bitch you'll get a guy for sure, guys would fuck anything. Meanwhile short men are called manlets and are made fun of everyday
Spare us your virtue signalling lies. You would never date a guy shorter than you.
I remember getting bullied by my whole class for five years for being 1,80 ever since I was 14. That lead to me being so insecure about my height that I never wore high hees in my life. I'm 17 now and would love to wear high heels, I just don't dare to ... if anything, I would make myself shorter.
Hey! I’m 180 cm too. The thing is you’re going to be tall for the rest of your life so you might as well enjoy it. You probably look so good in clothes. Don’t be self conscious, especially about things you can’t change
I had the same experience as a child and was bullied for being the tallest girl in our class for many years. It made me very insecure about my hight and that is why i did not buy shoes with heels until i was 16-17. I rarely used to wear heels until i was 20, but now i dont care anymore. After i embraced my hight, people started to compliment it and not bully me for it. Tho, i still get some comments about it that can be considered negative, especially from men.
I have a friend who is 185 and she struggled with that a lot in highschool, especially considering the average female height in our country is 1.60 cm. When we went to uni she started getting more and more confident and now she can wear like 10 cm heels no problem. All her boyfriends are shorter than her and she thinks it's cute. After she got more confident her whole posture and sense of style changed as well. Strutting around like a chic gazelle 😄
Long story short; with age, life experience and maturity you will come to accept yourself as you are.
@@zjjir I know ...
dude, when I was little, as the oldest i felt doomed to become the shortest, so i just decided to become comfortable with the idea. Now I'm full grown, '5"7, and I'm fine. I just wish I could seem older than my little sis, but not rlly, it's fine
I think your height is fine. As a short woman, 5'7 is a good height, 6' and up is intimidating. But my sister is 5'7 and she doesn't want to date anyone under 6'. My advice? There are plenty of shorter people for you to date, and yeah, it kind of sucks to be the older but shorter sibling.
This hurts my heart. I can relate to short men as a 6 foot tall woman who doesn’t exactly fit the gender norms lol. I feel like they got it way harder though cuz as I’ve gotten older it’s definitely an advantage. I’ve dated a lot of shorter guys when I was younger and we both felt insecure because of society, it sucks. No one wanted to be seen with me. I’m glad it’s being normalized now. I remember trying to date in high school and boys rarely talked to me and adults said it was because I was “too intimidating.” I like being a tall girl now but stuck out like a sore thumb when I was younger and felt very insecure but it’s not a problem in my mid 20s lol. I feel like short dudes have it harder because their short height isn’t seen as “model-esque”
Yeah being a man at 5'7 the dating market its a bit hard. You're seen as less of a man or "too week", etc... but there's always a girls who dont care about it. Im heavily thinking about doing the surgery to be at least 5'11. That would be life changing
I'm on the short side now but I hit my growth spurt suuuuuper early so I was taller than almost everyone until I was about 12. Because we were kids, I did get a bit of that lukewarm "bullying" for it, but it was always from guys who I could tell were just mad I was taller lmao can't imagine that translating to high school.
same here but I was the one roasting everyone smaller than me lol, then all the boys grew past my height and now I'm the short one 😭😭 karma I guess
@@ennauak that was me too, I still ended school as the tallest girl, but suddenly all the guys l called pint sized were taller than me and l becake the pint sized one (; _ ;)
You may not thinking being a tall woman is that big of a deal, but you have no idea how much we are told all our lives to take up less space and make ourselves smaller.
I always thought being tall is so cool, but reading comments like yours made me understand that there are pros and cons of being both tall and short. I'm 156cm with round cheeks so most people assume I'm cute and innocent until they get to know who I'm lol😂
In my 32 years of being a woman I have never heard anything about how we need to take up less space. I’m sorry it has happened to you so much but maybe it is a you thing. I have never felt or been told I can’t be anything or do anything because of my gender. I have never heard this at all being expressed to anyone. I have only ever seen this type of stuff on tv. Which is fake.
@@katelady1370 but did you get picked sis?
@@katelady1370 I've had it happen too. Just because you don't experience it doesn't mean it doesn't exist or it's an "us" issue. Stop being so condescending
Edit: just saw that you're only 5'6, of course this has never happened to you 😂
For me it was ''that girl will never find a guy'', ''girls should be short'', ''being so tall, is unattractive''
5:05 My grandma broke the same leg 4 times and has a rod. It looks very similar to those screws. I'm glad people like Ryan volunteer to be guinea pigs for cosmetic procedures cz I hope some of these will become useful in regular medicine one day.
Personally I've never seen the issue with this. Girls argue a couple with a short guy is "lopsided" but like, with the same logic a short girl would look "lopsided" with a tall guy, and yet that is somehow ideal.
I've had crushes on guys shorter than me, and am currently dating a guy who is the same height as me, I'm taller if I wear heels. He doesn't care, I don't care, and we make each other happy. As long as we keep each other happy, that's all that matters.
It's honestly scary and surprising that a lot of people don't know height is mostly a mix of genetics and natural hormones in puberty (like, 80-90%). If your parents are short, you'll most likely also be short and vice versa (doesn't mean that if your dad is 6'4ft that you'll also be of that height, but on the taller side), also somewhat depends on your ethnicity and where you live (asian people on average are shorter than lets say swedish people). For example, my parents are pretty tall: dad is 6'0, mom is 5'9. I am 5'6 and my little brother is 6'2. It would be unlikely me or my brother would be short. While my friends parents are both shorter than 5'4 so my friend and their sibling are also on the shorter side.
You can't train yourself or grow taller whenever you want. Only thing that can significantly stunt your growth is like, chronic vitamin defficiency and diseases related to that (like rickets), we've all seen episodes of Criminal minds where a kid was trapped in a dark basement and didn't grow properly because of the lack of sunlight and a proper diet.
So yeah, fuck it, what height you are, that's what you get (unless your height really impacts your health, like some people with dwarfism or gigantism, but that's its own thing). Everything else is just loads of insecurities and complexes
My parents were 5'9 and 5'8.5. My brother is 6ft, eldest sister 5'4, next sister 5'11.5 and me 5.3.5. I always feel like I'm too tall and too small simultaneously. I don't mind 5.6 and above cause I'm obese and i feel monstrously huge! All the time! My ex husband was 6'1 and 63kg and when i see him he looks like slenderman!!!! My current bf is 5'10 - but i don't mind as long as a guy is taller than me.
My dad is 5’6, my mom is 5’2 and I’m 6’0
My dad is 5'7, my mom is literally 5'1 and I'm just about 6'0 and my older brother is 6'1. One of my cousins are 6'6.
My father is 5'6, my mother is 5'5, Im male and 5'11.
You are so spot on
I try to always go to bat for shorter guys when discussing things like that with my women friends.
To give them a chance and see if they resonate with their personalities when they meet.
Some of my taller lady friends told me that it makes them "look" awkward.
It makes men insecure so all of us mixed each other up being jealous over something we have no control over whatsoever.
I'm 6'2 myself
Many folks in the future will be genetically engineered so I'm sure it will become a thing of the past.
I'm loving this comments :') makes me feel I'm not alone, now as a 5'10 woman I've always felt like I wasn't feminine enough because I was always taller than my friends and guys at school, being bullied and then have to deal with people saying "I'm a beauty standard" because I'm tall, or being rejected all the time because I'm taller than a guy, or being sexualised because of it :) it's kinda hard but I'm slowly accepting myself as I am
What's your preference if you don't mind, taller than you or shorter than you , I mean from your life experience, do you find attraction or only attraction towards short guys? ( How old are you) please answer my questions elaborately,thank you
Oh don't worry, you'll get sexualized no matter what you do
Im a 5'11" tall woman. I have never wished to be shorter. Yes, there can be a few uncomfortable things...like no leg room on a bus 😂 but for most part i dont see my height as an issue. I just have to be careful when shopping for clothes. For example, if i see a tshirt DRESS online and it's up to the knees on the model it will just be like a simple tshirt for me 😂 or everything that is advetised knee high (boots and socks) is not knee high for me 😂 but i love being tall and would not change it for anything. And as for the guys....yes, i have been shallow in the past years when it came o shorter man. Now i'm with a man who is about 2 inches shorter than me and it doesn't bother me at all ❤
Yessss. Oh my god I can't find pants that aren't HIGH WATERS on me, and I'm only 5'9! I can't imagine trying to find longer pants than that, Cause I Can't Find Any As It Is! 😤
Yeah cause 2 in difference ain't a big deal
@spacebuns as someone who is 4'11 I wish I was taller....this comment speaks to me but I love my short height regardless of what other people say ...yeah there are no benefits of being a shortie but I feel good for some weird reason and I don't feel as insecure as I used to be three years ago- I get told that I give good hugs and I'm a koala so I don't need anything else in my life and I feel absolutely accomplished that I'm able to make people feel safe with my bear hugs⭐🌟💫
@spacebuns listen don't feel bad about expressing your opinions⭐✨ I mean you said what you felt like saying at the moment 💫 trust me what you said is not even close to being offensive🌞 don't apologize for saying whatever was on your mind💎 and besides I don't even care about heights because the only thing I look for in a person is their kindness✨🌟 anyways take care you lovely stranger and I hope things go well for you in the future🌈🌟
See how this video is mostly about how short men are discriminated in todays society but somehow the women in the comment section shifted it to tall Woman problems again? Like it’s insane how girls always have to be the ones complaining and putting their grains of salt even if the topic of discussion is a problem men face. No wonder most men don’t talk about their problems and insecurities….
Yup women have problems too but they won't accept it idk why.not saying men are any better like. Women will be like I don't have a type I just know what I want. My girlfriend said she won't date me if I was short so that was great.
So I'm a 5'9 girl and honestly I love it. I'm more of a sporty kinda gal and it fits my vibe totally. But a lot of my tall girlfriends struggle to feel cute and stuff because you're seen as a giant, which excludes being dainty and cute (tbh such correlations are dumb)
We gotta love the Hinata and Lev scene from Haikyuu 10/10
Yes, as a tall woman(5’11”) I literally never got bullied but put on a pedestal and treated with preference…..everywhere….I….went. Both tall and short men literally will chase me down, want a chance to date me and treat me like a princess but…. I’m also very conventionally beautiful…. But so was the girl in that movie…. So I’m confused. lol
I'm 5'11 to and am a man. I feel tall compared to most people and the average man.
@@blacklyfe6881yes! You’re on the taller end of average for a man. As a woman I am very tall. I LOVE my height!! People gravitate to me, I get automatic respect, clothes look better on me. Lol. Being tall is a plus for both men and women.
@kd1675 Most tall women hate their height, and height is subjective just because I'm not tall compared to you. It doesn't mean I'm not tall compared to someone else.
@kd1675 5'11 is tall in most countries around the world so I'm proud to be this way I wouldn't want to be any shorter.
@kd1675 I prefer short and petite women. My height is tall enough for most women I encounter during my life.
Hi Hunny, you’re looking gorgeous today
I broke my back when I was 15 - shattered coccyx, broken sacrum, snapped L4 & L5!
I had 18 months of physio and I’ve developed severe arthritis in my florbty… or however old I am 🤦🏻♀️
I am 3 cm shorted now than I was at 21… I have a condition called ‘compaction’ where my lower lumber spine is fusing together and crushing the discs causing extreme pain and loss of height 🫠
So that’s my story.. I was 5 foot 6 and 1/4 now I’m 5 foot 5 and a bit … !
Hi, I really hope you're able to find some relief there, you don't deserve that. I think it's really cool you're able to share your experiences. 💚
How did you break your back?
I'm sorry you had to go through such pain and trauma.
@@Ravioliyt hey, I fell down a flight of stairs down to the lower deck on a ferry. I fell 26 steps - well I slipped and banged all the way down on my butt and landed on my back, smacked my head, and twisted both ankles too! But the ankles was just muscular so they healed within a few days. It was very painful 🫣
Always found this weird. I'm a tall woman (5'9") who would date shorter men, even had crushes on guys shorter than me in the past. Height is generally irrelevant to me.
Omg sameee! I’m a little past 5’8” and it’s so strange to me how other girls I’m friends with won’t date anyone shorter than 6’ when they are 5’2”.
Yess!!! 5'8.5" and I like shorter guys. 5'6" or 5'7" would be nice.
I love to date a man who is shorter than me but im 1.52 and it feels imposible unless they have dwarfism
Got no choice🤷♀️. Im tall and have dated short men only, cannot get into it.
@@purplepencil1124 aint it funny how its the short ones
As a woman who prefers dating shorter dudes, women who skip on guys who are shot just seem like they're missing out. I love my short kings.
Eh? U can get taller from plastic surgery?
Me hiding this from all my friends be like👀
yea, but to be able to walk again it is very painful.
i had the bone lengthening surgery on my feet because I had problems walking and it took 17 MONTHS until I could do anything like a regular person. i had to learn walking again TWICE and im still working on running. i don't know if its worth the hussle just for couple inches but im glad i had the surgeries because i can go for walks without a week long pains again.
I'm a woman. I was married for 8 years. My exhusband was 9 cm shorter than me, and I found him very physically attractive. I do like taller men but it's not a dealbreaker for me. I have found many short men physically attractive. For me it's more about their looks, style and body propotions, not that they need to be taller than me. Even more than that, personality is important.
Growing up I had a short nextdoor neighbor (boy) that had growthormon injections and grew about 10 cm . This only works (from what I know) while your body is still developing.
By the way, If you are still growing and are having a risk of becoming really tall doctors can stop your growing process by an other hormon injection. I was offerd that as a tall girl but declined the offer and ended up with a hight of 178 cm.
Always enjoy your videos 👍 You might find the Chinese tiktoker “小马只有一米九“ or “190girl”. China has a weird beauty double standard that women should have long legs but not be too tall, I’d be interested to see your reactions to her TikTok’s. Keep up the great work 😁 cheers from Shanghai

I used to get picked on a lot by my classmates during my school years because i was the second shortest person in our grade I was the same height as the 12 year olds and to be honest it makes me feel so insecure about myself that I get compared to way younger people just because i have soft features and because of my lack in height they say to take it as a compliment that I look young but for god sake i’m about to turn 20 in 2 months I don’t want to be told i look 11 years old because of the height and face I even used to look up on google if there were ways to ‘grow’ in height throughout most of my teen years ): in the end i had to tell myself it was ok if I look a certain way it can’t be changed because going under operations if it ain’t for health reasons seems unnecessary for me 😭 because i am TERRIFIED of anything hospital related
Being a short man is 100 times worse than being a taller woman. Both are sucky non the less
Reading through the comments, there seem to be so postive about their heights, short or tall, girl or boy. I'm inecure about my short height and this makes me feel so much better!
It always come down to the fact that the opposite heights mostly wish they could switch roles, doesn't that concern people 😂
As a tall girl, about 5'9 I like guys that are shorter than me tbh. Idk, I just like being taller than everyone. It pleases me. I've always been the tallest growing up so I just kinda like it
As a tall woman, the fear of height has affected me more than everyone would expect: of course it gives me self-esteem by feeling more feminine, but it also comes with the unappreciation of the people around me who expect height to come with my face and the perfect weight... not only to please them physically but also in terms of affective relationships.
When I was a teenager I dreamed of being shorter so that they would like me, but I only managed to hurt myself when others did not accept me completely no matter what I did until I realized that there really is never a way to satisfy beauty standards so the best thing to do is find the way to not let it get to you.
I hope more people realize of it.
nope not at all
PLEASE stop gaslighting us and trying to make this into an issue that isnt disporportionately affecting MEN
u being a tall woman isnt gonna make 99% of people care unless you're like 6'5 and above

i hate starting fights, but pls tell me ur joking? the way that short guys are made fun for lack of height is similar to tall girls being made fun of for THEIR height too (tho i will agree that it might be a bit worse for short guys, don't neglect that fact that tall women can feel insecure, even if neither side should have to suffer that sort of ridicule)-
but unfortunately, you know what my best friend, James also committed a suicide at 21, because of his height of 5"2 while the reason of it are clearly a depression and also hurtful or traumatic rejection from tall/short woman. I will missed him a lot and I have learn something from it ❤️
