If it makes you feel better, after 5 years in the army, I had a cashier tell me I couldn't buy a game without a parent or guardian because he assumed I was underage
Hell, I'm 33 and the only reason I don't completely shave off my beard is because I look 16 without it. Seriously, I always get carded when I buy smokes when I'm clean shaven.
In sweden we have age restrictions of 16 to buy energy drinks, i got carded constantly when i was around 20-23 🤣🤣even when i bought at the same store over and over
omg that makes so much more sense now. This makes me more appreciate of all the less aggressive short friends I knew. They are so much more matured and high EQ than people realized.
I’m a 5’3” dude, but I only get treated like a kid until I open my mouth and speak. I am “fortunate” to have been born with a deep smokers voice. I was fuckin 9 sounding like I fuckin LOVED Marlboros. Funny as shit with people I don’t know.
As a 6'2" guy that's dated both short women (as short as 5'0") and taller women (as tall as 5'10"), the only real bad thing about dating shorter women is bending down to kiss them. After a while your lower back begins to sting
6'5 dating 4'9 They assume I'm her father, so I get the "Oh you're giving mom a break" comments until they realize she's 9 years older than me. Then it's I'm a creeper because she's so small. Even when my partner is more curvy than the bitch following us. Like, come on, she doesn't look young. She looks like a curvy tall woman was put in a high-pressure chamber.
As a 6’ 04” man, pretty much any girl I seem to meet is shorter than me. Do you know how hard it is to talk to someone when your neck quite literally can’t bend that far down?
@friskdremeurluck7907 idk, I think her voice is great though. She's kinda got the mature, confident, no drama personality to go with it. Very chill to listen too

Using Mata as the example of the taller person in the hug example backfires slightly in that it feels she's the kind of person who would notice the hesitation as you wonder to yourself 'do I turn my head or...?' and have a serious conversation with you about boundaries and what you're both comfortable with while doing her best to dispel any awkwardness.
Though you are probably right, I still think it fits considering what happened with numi and bao One shy and one shameless 😂 She didn't notice Numi's hesitation at the time but would have probably talked to her if she had
And I feel like, with people she's familiar with she would just go straight for the embrace and be like: "I missed you baby, come here".. Both out of endearment and to tease them all the same 😅
I had a guy who my back was turned to ask my girlfriend if I was her son, for reference I am 5'8 and 21 and she is 6'1 and 20. So I obviously don't look like a child, but the look of shock when the guy saw a 250lb colligate wrestler with a beard was priceless.

You hate short women being labeled as pedobait because you actively like lolis who are WAY more than just women that happen to be short. We are not the same.”
@@Somerandomjingleberry .... You do realize the original definition of loli was short, petite woman, right? It was only after twitter got involved that loli now = child, for some reason, even though height does not correlate age 100% of the time.
@@Zirr0hh bruh Loli definitely does come from young underaged girl. what was the Lolita Novel about again? Lolita complex? how old was the girl in that novel?
I had a friend who described the pain on being "portable" in college. She said people would just pick her up and carry her around. Which sounds funny as a visual, but imagine being the person who's just whisked off their feet and deposited in another room by some dude. As a man of just-under-average-height I can kinda see why shorter men go for shorter girls, because usually girls taller than you want someone taller than them. There's a difference between "aiming for your height bracket" and being weird, though.
The more I see of how dating is for short straight folk, the more I REALLY want to know if the same applies to gay/lesbian dating. Maybe not as apparent as straight dating, but I imagine there would be examples out there.
@@rosennacht7624 The same like how? 🤔 Well I've never seen "I'm short so she must be short/shorter" type of gay girls. Though tall ladies can be attractive. But I've never seen height-shaming. 🤔… but then again, I'm in an Asian country. With the shortest average height overall in the world.
Short women have a lower center of gravity and are thus, closer to hell. Being small also concentrates their wrath, making them that much scarier when angry, but jokes on them I'm into short angry women with accents!
I once dropped into bed from exhaustion, and that little rat dragged my unconscious ass across the bed so I wasn't half on her side. I am probably triple her weight, and she had to deal with the cat who guards me in my sleep.
For the short womens out there, there are a few tricks that will make it impossible to lift you. I learned about one a few years ago, but I'm a little fuzzy on the science behind it. When they go to pick you up, brace yourself against their arm just above their elbow, and lean back slightly. Doing so will make it impossible to lift you off the ground because of the shift in your center of gravity and the now present torque requirement, no matter how strong they are. I've tested this with a friend of mine and a gym bro who was twice her size, and it does work. There's also a "dynamo trick" where you grab under their arm at the elbow and squeeze the tendons or something (I think?) for similar results. I only just learned of that one though while looking this up again and can't vouch for it's legitimacy myself.
I guess short men face similar issues: - not being taken serious - not looking attractive if too slim or a try hard if in shape and muscular - a clothes are too long when it fits tge width or too narrow when it fits the length - also, been looking down by women at similar size at first contact, since they think you are looking at them as "the last hope" or assuming you are a simping due to the fact you treat them nicely and not as roughly as larger guys, but in reality shorter guys as often the subject of bullying and intimidation across they lives and usually need to rely more of a more subtle or funny approach since they do not necessarily look imposing nor attractive at first glance If only people look past height, things could be a bit different, but they world is not nice to you and paints you as weak when you are a below average height guy and you aren't a popular star or celebrity while shorter girls look like the target as token, infantilism and not being taken serious when you aren't a celebrity or star. Yeah.
@@BlackCatRedScarf damn some people's lives are so complicated. I've never had this many issues interacting with other people. I'm 5'6. Very few women I have ever met thought my bring short was anything more than how my genetics turned out. Of course plenty of women prefer taller guys, but plenty of women also don't care.
As a taller than average guy, I have the same problems with clothes, especially pants. I can't wear most styles because the measurements can be correct but the proportions are wrong. 50-inch waist? No problem. Bigger pelvis than normal? No pants for you.
mouse should create a fashion line for people under 5 feet. not like merch but actual clothes to sell in malls/stores and stuff. involve other vshojo members like froot (she's into fashion and a great artist) and vshojo itself too.
"Hows the weather up there?", "It must be so nice to be that tall" The weather sucks, My back hurts, its impossible to find clothes if you aren't a stick figure of a giant, transportation of any kind sucks, and you're constantly bothered by people for being tall, thanks for asking. secondly the urge the head pat, or bonk everyone is very strong
Craziest thing is the rare moment you meet someone taller than you and your like "whoa....is this how most people see me? This towering figure of ominous aura???" Feels so weird man 😂
Nah, the telling them it's weird to call you attractive cause you're short thing annoys the heck out of me. Short people deserve love just like everyone else.
My sisters call themselves “fun sized” which is funny because they both married guys that were almost 6 feet tall. My brothers-in-law make me look like I’m short.
Anyone who says "short women aren't real" need to google Shoko Nakajima and realize she's 4'10" and will kick everyone's ass in the room. Tiny but mighty. The Porcelain Maid moment cracked me up. Holy...
I'm glad to see short people representation in vtubers and other streamers precisely because of this sort of weirdness. People need to get over themselves and think about children less. A lot less.
I can just picture myself cranking my head down to look at whoever said it and asking them. "Does your wallet know you're offering this?" Like listen ma'am I'm 6'5 and near 300 pounds. I got put on a 5500 calorie a day diet 5 months a year every year for 6 years. You can't afford this.
This reminds me of one of my colledge friends, who was one gray wig away to look like irl Hana Uzaki. At one point she got stopped by a Karen because she was wearing a poofy winter jacket that hid her boobies, and the other woman thought she was a kid sneaking where she wasn't supposed to :p
I feel the shoe part, I'm a 38 yo man, I'm 5'6, which is not that tall, but I don't mind. But in addition to that, I have some issues I was born with, leading to me having size 38 feet, which is 7.5 in the US. I'm literally only able to buy kids/teens shoes, or like relatively unisex looking women's sneakers... Buying shoes is a torture... and due to the aforementioned issues, no matter what I do, I wreck shoes after like 4-5 months of normal use, which means I have to do it often, and it makes no sense to buy expensive ones, I tried that and they barely lasted longer...
i still think the clothes aspect is worse for really big people i got size 49 (47-54 depending on brand) feet.... If i have not ordered new shoes when my old ones break, i just have to wear the broken ones. i won't find any that fit me in any store anywhere near me. i wear 4-6 xl shirts which basically don't exist in my country and even in america, they often stop increasing the height after 3xl
I think it's bullshit that the most bedazzled pants are reserved for children. Bejewelled fancy jeans should be a reward for people who have worked hard to contribute to society.
Happy Birthday Geega 🥳My recommendation for clothes would be: Visit a tailor/cobbler and get your clothes/shoes there. I once dated a short girl and I kid you not someone called the cops on me because she looked young (she was 28 and I was 24).
I'm a pretty small and twiggy guy, barely 5'1, and one of my best friends is a 6'2 beast. We are both very touchy people so options for hugs are 1. He picks me up like a teddy bear and squeezes the breath out of me 2. He bends down to my height and simulates the arthritis of an old man for a solid 30 seconds 3. I hug him at his waist like a squirrel climbing a tree Hugs are the 2nd most akward thing. Clothes are the 1st.
Very interesting video... now I am inspired to find out Geega's height. Ironmouse's stature has been known for years and it is always fun to hear about the pros and cons of being only 4'-10". They both touched on the aspect that any time a person is physically outside the average range the people around them start to lose propriety. What is the deal with picking up tiny people, or patting them on the head (I've seen this happen). I have seen some very short models pull of the "adult" look, but they have to be very careful with anything, like props, settings, or everyday objects that would give away how petite they are because it immediately makes them look like kids playing dress up. Unfortunate but true... forever just CUTE. Love the use of Matra as the scale example for dissimilar hugging.
I have to admit, I've been that asshole with short girls sometimes, at least in my head. Everyone's got biases they gotta unlearn. Also honestly, clothes manufacturing needs to be different. In this day and age we should really be able to get clothes that are a lot more custom, and with measurements that don't boldface lie to you. "Oh it's a vanity size" no, it's a bullshit size, how are you measuring my waist like 6 inches smaller than it is? My problem is my head and my feet. Work boots and such will have varying width, but if you're buyin some converse or something? You're screwed. I wore shoes that squeezed my little toe into my other toes and caused me pain, for years. And then hats, ffs. "One size fits all" is a god damn lie, my head is the size of a watermelon and I can't get a hat to save my life. That's not an issue most of the time, until you have to buy a helmet. I jammed my head into the largest motorcycle helmet they had, shit squeezed my jaw so hard and they assured me that's normal. Yeah, it aint normal to the degree this thing's going. I've measured it, I have XXL - XXXL head size. It's bullshit.
going by sizes instead of actual measurements is the problem really like places that specify things like length, width, length of sleeves, etc. separately I don't think the tech for custom clothing is around yet. Pretty sure that is still mostly a manual process which means $$$. Probably won't have that until we have something like 3D printing but for cloths. There seems to be people working on a solution that involves knitting.
@@MorbidEel Going by actual measurements would be nice, but it doesn't fix the problem when nobody makes the size you need. The tech for custom clothing is around and modern 3D printing makes custom molds way easier and is a rapidly advancing field. Most clothing making doesn't require a custom mold since a quality dress form is adjustable for various sizes. The problem is that an average store that sells mass produced things made for the vast majority of people. Unfortunately that means it likely won't fit well even with the vast majority of people, but will fit good enough. Hence the boxy fit comment they made in the video. If you want something custom made, you have to go to a tailor like people used to back in zee day. Tailoring is more expensive, but the quality is typically way better and will probably last much longer, plus it can be repaired much easier if there is a problem. Often people end up saving money with this route, but the up front cost might be discouraging, especially if their body type works well with mass produced clothes. Cobblers/shoe makers on the other hand are much harder to find these days unless you live in a big city.

What tends to happen is people dress in a way that is coded "child" to some people. Lolita fashion? That is not coded child. It sucks to be short when clothing shopping because you get the "oh let me get something from the teen's department", or "your mom can hem this for you".
I want tall girl problems talked about: I wanna be cute but I am majestic, beautiful, sexy etc. I wanna be cute. It's really uncomfortable to sit on the bus or on the train. I have less space in my own bed, under my blanket, on the blanket on the beach etc. When people hug me I don't feel fully hugged bcuz a lot of my body is not hugged bcuz it's so big. It's usually uncomfortable to cook bcuz all the things are so low I have to bend my back to chop or stir stuff. I have to eat more. All my clothes take up more space. It's harder to find shoes (both a tall girl and short girl problem I see) There are perks though. I do not feel afraid walking around at night, people don't mess with me. Tall = respect I guess. I fell respected but I don't feel feminine
100000% feel yall on the shoes and pants. I'm a dude with some wide hips so I either have to get something that fits length wise or something that doesn't feel like it'll rip when I sit and similar story with the shoes. 8.5-9.5 double wide which straight up doesn't exist. I've given up and just started wearing shoes with mesh where my feet get big and stretching them out until it fits correctly.
I will never understand why people throw aside basic social etiquette when they interact with shorter height individuals (i.e. head pats, kabedon, pick them up with zero consent), and I say this as someone that puberty decided to bless/curse with stretching my ass to 6'+ for the rest of my life.
I know those problems in a kind of similar, but different way. I'm a guy who due to medical Issues in his youth, is about one foot smaller than he should, I'm about 5'4" (hope thats correct, I'm european, so I gotta calculate differently here :D) However, my body SHOULD have grown to about 6'4". Not a big Issue you thin, but while the height didn't grow that much, my shoulders and the rest did! I'm wide as fuck without actually being fat (I don't kid myself, I AM a bit of a hefty guy, but not THAT much). T-Shirts only fit from 5XL Upwards properly, Except for Sweatpants and Shorts I never get pants that don't have to be shortened by a bunch! While not having the hug problems or the 'aaaaaw cuuute' ones, I definitely can feel the clothes issue in this similar way. Also my Shoes are like EU 48 size which is about.....14? 14,5? in the US. Imagine where I can get shoes that can be used to kick out forest fires. Correct - almost nowhere. Next Size: Childkoffin! I heard them all, but Sometimes it gets reeeeaaaally frustrating, as you cannot really 'select' shoes, you gotta take what you can get, and that sucks. It sucks BIG TIME. Btw. my favorite sentence that I use: " You got a problem? Let me just get a stepladder and we settle this eye to eye!"
As a skinnier tall guy I can confirm that shoe and clothes shopping is a nightmare for either height extreme. Most stores have maybe 6 individual items (usually the same item) in my size in the entire store. Shoes are even worse, there are maybe 3 stores that carry any shoes my size in the entire city (and I live in a large city). I can't even attempt to think about fashion without spending fistfuls of cash to get tailor made clothes so I just kinda have to accept that everything is going to either be too baggy or a crop top. I can only imagine how much worse it is for women on either extreme of height.
"I'm going to go up to every big man and be like 'I'm going to put you in a cage and feed you'" - Careful. Some might be into that. "I'll never be seen as anything other than cute." I get that... 200cm tall and it's rare to ever be considered cute. It's like every instance of Selkie being on screen in My Hero Academia even when trying to be cute. Combine the height with there being no fashion options for men to look cute. At least I can pull off a nice corset vest though. Oof... the shoe talk hurts. I have to go to the same place basket ball players go for my shoes. A quality male size 15 or larger that lasts more than a couple weeks costs over $200 USD these days. That's just regular shoes, not even work boots or anything specialty. Sandals are over $150 USD. Happy birthday.
Geega's story about short guys reminded me of how much of a revelation it was to me that some guys actually have a complex about women being taller than them. Then I was like well more for me then.^^
Well, it often stems from them being looked down upon or bullied by being short. They've been told all their life that men are suppose to be taller, and seen all their life that tall guys gets favoured, and have had to deal all their life with being treated as lesser and less desirable. Like, as someone who's of average height in a country where 6 foot is very common heightism is a very real thing and if I've had to deal with it to some degree, I can only imagine what dudes under 5' 8'' have to go through. It's a very real thing that short people get treated worse, and when it comes to guys it is rough because people are pretty much indoctrinated into seeing them as less desirable. Plenty of studies have proven that short guys are seen as less trustworthy, as less capable, and even uglier. There is a reason short guys might consider short girls their only hope, because often they are. And this isn't just a guy problem, most men do prefer shorter women and in pursuits of relationships shorter women are favoured. But it comes with the caveat that really short women experience much of what is mentioned in the video. They are infantilized, seen as less capable and more naïve, and it's not uncommon that their agency is less respected because of that, often without malicious intent. At the same time, tall women can often be victims of heightism. They can be seen as too masculine and are more at risk of being considered bossy and overbearing, even uglier. And mind you, heightism of both men and women are perpetuated by both men and women towards both, it's not one or the other. It might sound absurd, and it is, but it is also a sad part of reality and a form of judgement that needs to be called out.
This reminded me of that fucking twitter drama where a short and tall woman cosplayed as tatsumaki and fubuki, and twitter was fucking murdering them because the tatsumaki one had some thick thighs and everything to add to the cosplay, but people where mad thinking it was a kid being sexualized
Know the struggle. My little sister is just that, a small woman, and every person she brought back as a potential boyfriend was treated as a pdf by our entire family. 😅
The people who just touch others with zero permission are crazy. I have a pretty unique haircut, and if I had a dollar for every stranger that has attempted to grab it or run their hands through it, I would be a rich man.
And the worst part is that they are ALL over youtube, asking why video games aren't good anymore, constantly whining about star war and marvel, and going so far as to spread conspiracy theories as those creeps are EXTREMELY grabby, more ways than one.
That "short king's last resort" thing works the other way too. Im stupid tall and get a disproportionate amount of intrest from 5'11 + girls who are more interested in the fact that im taller than them
If you can afford it, a tailor would make things a lot easier. Or if you learn to sew yourself, you can buy the larger size shirts and then tailor it yourself to fit your shape. Shortening the pant leg is a simpler solution than trimming the pants to fit your legs, but it does mean your pants will fit "weird." Still, great skill to learn if you want to save money and look fashionable. But if you don't have the time and have the expendable cash, find a good tailor.
I cant relate to being short, but i can relate to proportions thing. I am straight up average height dude, however i have very broad shoulders and narrow waist/hips( ever seen a toilet sign for men? Kinda like those proportions my shoulders are 2x my hips in width) buying hirts is pure unadulterated pain, if i try a medium or small it fits decent around my body apart from my chest and shoulders where i cant even button it or if i can my sleeves are now 5+cm too short, if i try a large it fits perfectly on my shoulder and chest, but usually sleeves are too long, the shirts instead of reaching to about mid my gluteous it is now mid thigh and across my saist i could fit two of me. So i have to buy large shirts and have them tailored and that ups the total cost by anywhere between 25 to 50% depending on price of the shirt. Being non standard is pure pain
So I'm not a very tall guy at all (5'7 1/2") but my fiance is 4'8", so there is definitely a height gap, but we don't care. She is my world and I am hers and we treat each other the same, regardless of height. Also, GEEGA and Mouse are awesome, I don't think I need to say much more.
I look way too young. At 23 I was working in a gunshop and for the first 2 weeks no one would let me help them ( costumers) until they realized I worked there. One guy thought I was the owners grandson skipping school. After 2 weeks he asked if I was ever going back with genuine confusion… again. 23. And before that I worked at Spencer’s for a bit at 19… oh man. Peaple where the confused
After hearing the horror stories of both short and tall people, I am soo fucking glad I am 5.6, being around the average height has never felt so much like winning the genetic lottery.
I’m a 5’9” non-binary nursing student. A lot of my peers are much shorter than me. I’m still the strangest one in the room, and the tallest in most groups. I can relate with a lot of this. People feel afraid of me, but still feel like they can condescendingly touch my shoulders.
Only PDF Files feel like they are being baited by a short woman. It is pretty obvious whether or not someone is a child or just a tiny adult. It is the opposite that is actually dangerous when some 15 year old went through megapuberty and already fully grew everywhere you probably can't tell without asking; there were a couple girls like tha tat my high school.
I generally don't notice when people are really short because I'm 6'8" and everyone's really short. Also, funnily I relate to a lot of what was said because I was also constantly singled out for my physical differences. The frustrating part of being tall though is that people think they're complimenting you while saying really rude stuff.
i guess makeup for women is like facial hair for men. im a manlet but i recently grew out my mustache and now people don't even card me for alcohol unless its at a restaurant or something.
One conclusion I’ve reached is just, in general, don’t comment on people’s body’s appearance in general. Neither positively nor negatively. If it’s something that especially stands out, they’ve likely heard both sides enough times to get tired. And if it’s a compliment, wouldn’t you be happier to be complimented on a decision you took rather than something outside your control? It’s pretty common to compliment people’s hair when they get a haircut for example, and imagine you pick your favorite shirt or something and someone says it looks good, not only would that be nice it’s less embarrassing for everyone involved edit: also even still, read the room lol
My cousin, she is 4'10" and I'm 5'4". (I'm probably 5'2" if i took my shoes off but let me delude myself.) I I ironically look up to my cousin, she is awesome. I sometimes even go without shoes when she wears her high heels or boots so she seems taller than me. She treats me as if i was the short one. Head pats, trying to pick me up, talks about putting me in a terrarium, all that. I surprisingly enjoy the way she treats me.
As someone who likes short women, those people that say "oh, you're a child" to you piss me off so much. Like, *have you seen a woman before?* Short adults still look like adults, and it's bewildering to see people just accept that 'short = child'. Never mind that it essentially accuses me of being a pedophile, but whatever.
Honestly, as a larger person, I have the same clothing problems but inverted. They always have one or two sizes too small for shoes. I have a hard time finding shirts that fit me without being extremely baggy because I'm tall with braud shoulders, but I'm not large in the front. Same with jeans, they just don't sell the dimensions I have very often. It's so annoying.
I had a friend in highschool who came up to about the door knob, her mom also worked with the school and was barely any taller. Brightside of being that small was she was really easy for the cheer team to throw in the air.
Oh God... The clothes! I am a man, but I had a co-worker, lady in her 50's or older, hardcore engineer. She was petite for the country we are living in. I saw she had to wear kids jeans with the sparkly stuff because, as mentioned, there were no clothes her size available around here. I can only imagine her frustration if even I noticed when I wasn't even trying to look!
Man as someone who is kinda small for a guy which for any one that’s curious I’m 4’9 and 30 years old but luckily I never had an issue which is surprising to me because you would think I would be an easy target growing up but luckily nothing 👍🏽
If it makes anyone feel better, I'm 191/192 and my friends will loose sight of me in, not only crowds, but also when we're just walking in the supermarket and stuff
This is so damn real! Because I am attracted to women that are shorter than me and I am 1,76 so I am not tall, I have heard ALL these arguments too. That I am a Pdo just because I enjoy women that are shorter than me. That it is weird and unnatural to be into women that are too short. But ay, if I was 2,10 I would still love women that are shortar than me but I can´t control how tall I am. But that is fucking weird! Some people are just fucking weird! People have the dumbest opinions towards short women. Hight doesn´t mean youth. But I have heard all of the arguments you guys mentioned before too... I certainly don´t think short women have any issues just because they are short. Any woman can be sexy and beautiful. It is certianly not not due to something you can´t control that would make you unsexy or unattractive.
I can relate to the hate towards headpats. I am 6ft now, but when I was a child and was forced to go to the church, some old people would just reach and pat. Like wtf? Am I your child? No? Then just keep your hands to yourself. Now being on the other side, the intrusive thought to headpat is definitely there sometimes. Still wouldn't ever do it, hopefully the intrusive thought never wins.
bro you 2 are a mood. im 4'8, and a 6 in shoes. USED to be a 5-ish, but getting shoes that don't cramp my toes made my size a lil bigger. AND THE MF JEANS ISSUE, and the shirts, bro. i spend $40 on a pair and i gotta RE-HEM the thing! and they only last a year, bc THIGHS.
I live in texas and I come from a Hispanic family and community. Mostly all of the women i know are 5'- 4'10". It baffles me when people can't believe or think that short women exist
it's true, I am a short guy, 5'2", and if I see a short woman I just get a quiet smile. I saw an Avatar: Legend of Korra meme where she's imagining tilting her (shipped) gf's head up to kiss her and her gf walks in several inches taller and says "tilt whose head up?" Most of the women I have dated have been taller than me, which is fine, I don't have an ego about it, but there is that lifelong regret of never being able to protectively shelter and nurture a shorter partner. It's hard to describe but I am just never going to be Big Spoon, ya know? So yeah, props to the shorties, it makes me happy just seeing you.

My brain immediately go to that one Daniel Thrasher skit about morning/sick voice
As a 6'2" guy that's dated both short women (as short as 5'0") and taller women (as tall as 5'10"), the only real bad thing about dating shorter women is bending down to kiss them. After a while your lower back begins to sting
Or the awkward angles you have to bend at to cuddle (6'6" here) and also worry about crushing them.
6'5 dating 4'9
They assume I'm her father, so I get the "Oh you're giving mom a break" comments until they realize she's 9 years older than me. Then it's I'm a creeper because she's so small. Even when my partner is more curvy than the bitch following us. Like, come on, she doesn't look young. She looks like a curvy tall woman was put in a high-pressure chamber.
Or certain positions. I’m 6’7 and doggy is murder for me if she’s under 5’5”
Bend at the knees, not the back
As a 6’ 04” man, pretty much any girl I seem to meet is shorter than me. Do you know how hard it is to talk to someone when your neck quite literally can’t bend that far down?

Using Mata as the example of the taller person in the hug example backfires slightly in that it feels she's the kind of person who would notice the hesitation as you wonder to yourself 'do I turn my head or...?' and have a serious conversation with you about boundaries and what you're both comfortable with while doing her best to dispel any awkwardness.
Though you are probably right, I still think it fits considering what happened with numi and bao
One shy and one shameless 😂
She didn't notice Numi's hesitation at the time but would have probably talked to her if she had
And I feel like, with people she's familiar with she would just go straight for the embrace and be like: "I missed you baby, come here".. Both out of endearment and to tease them all the same 😅
Mata would also just let it happen as well because she knows she tall lmao
I had a guy who my back was turned to ask my girlfriend if I was her son, for reference I am 5'8 and 21 and she is 6'1 and 20. So I obviously don't look like a child, but the look of shock when the guy saw a 250lb colligate wrestler with a beard was priceless.

As a man of just-under-average-height I can kinda see why shorter men go for shorter girls, because usually girls taller than you want someone taller than them. There's a difference between "aiming for your height bracket" and being weird, though.
The more I see of how dating is for short straight folk, the more I REALLY want to know if the same applies to gay/lesbian dating. Maybe not as apparent as straight dating, but I imagine there would be examples out there.

Honestly, I both appreciate and fear short women. I find short women lovely, but also most I've encountered are fierce as heck.

For the short womens out there, there are a few tricks that will make it impossible to lift you. I learned about one a few years ago, but I'm a little fuzzy on the science behind it. When they go to pick you up, brace yourself against their arm just above their elbow, and lean back slightly. Doing so will make it impossible to lift you off the ground because of the shift in your center of gravity and the now present torque requirement, no matter how strong they are. I've tested this with a friend of mine and a gym bro who was twice her size, and it does work.
There's also a "dynamo trick" where you grab under their arm at the elbow and squeeze the tendons or something (I think?) for similar results. I only just learned of that one though while looking this up again and can't vouch for it's legitimacy myself.
know a utube vid for this?
i am 165 kg at 16% bf, i will lift whoever i damn well please.
but i don't want to lift short people, my only urge is to punt them.......
Funny enough, I’m overweight, so I can’t be lifted up anyways lmao
That could be a tatic honestly.
Only seen the 1st one in a video
I guess short men face similar issues:
- not being taken serious
- not looking attractive if too slim or a try hard if in shape and muscular
- a clothes are too long when it fits tge width or too narrow when it fits the length
- also, been looking down by women at similar size at first contact, since they think you are looking at them as "the last hope" or assuming you are a simping due to the fact you treat them nicely and not as roughly as larger guys, but in reality shorter guys as often the subject of bullying and intimidation across they lives and usually need to rely more of a more subtle or funny approach since they do not necessarily look imposing nor attractive at first glance
If only people look past height, things could be a bit different, but they world is not nice to you and paints you as weak when you are a below average height guy and you aren't a popular star or celebrity while shorter girls look like the target as token, infantilism and not being taken serious when you aren't a celebrity or star.
Yeah.

I feel the shoe part, I'm a 38 yo man, I'm 5'6, which is not that tall, but I don't mind. But in addition to that, I have some issues I was born with, leading to me having size 38 feet, which is 7.5 in the US. I'm literally only able to buy kids/teens shoes, or like relatively unisex looking women's sneakers... Buying shoes is a torture... and due to the aforementioned issues, no matter what I do, I wreck shoes after like 4-5 months of normal use, which means I have to do it often, and it makes no sense to buy expensive ones, I tried that and they barely lasted longer...
i still think the clothes aspect is worse for really big people
i got size 49 (47-54 depending on brand) feet.... If i have not ordered new shoes when my old ones break, i just have to wear the broken ones. i won't find any that fit me in any store anywhere near me.
i wear 4-6 xl shirts which basically don't exist in my country and even in america, they often stop increasing the height after 3xl

Happy Birthday Geega 🥳My recommendation for clothes would be: Visit a tailor/cobbler and get your clothes/shoes there. I once dated a short girl and I kid you not someone called the cops on me because she looked young (she was 28 and I was 24).
I'm a pretty small and twiggy guy, barely 5'1, and one of my best friends is a 6'2 beast. We are both very touchy people so options for hugs are 1. He picks me up like a teddy bear and squeezes the breath out of me 2. He bends down to my height and simulates the arthritis of an old man for a solid 30 seconds 3. I hug him at his waist like a squirrel climbing a tree
Hugs are the 2nd most akward thing. Clothes are the 1st.
Hearing things like these make me feel so bitter, the struggle is so f***ing real.
Very interesting video... now I am inspired to find out Geega's height. Ironmouse's stature has been known for years and it is always fun to hear about the pros and cons of being only 4'-10". They both touched on the aspect that any time a person is physically outside the average range the people around them start to lose propriety. What is the deal with picking up tiny people, or patting them on the head (I've seen this happen). I have seen some very short models pull of the "adult" look, but they have to be very careful with anything, like props, settings, or everyday objects that would give away how petite they are because it immediately makes them look like kids playing dress up. Unfortunate but true... forever just CUTE.
Love the use of Matra as the scale example for dissimilar hugging.
I have to admit, I've been that asshole with short girls sometimes, at least in my head. Everyone's got biases they gotta unlearn. Also honestly, clothes manufacturing needs to be different. In this day and age we should really be able to get clothes that are a lot more custom, and with measurements that don't boldface lie to you. "Oh it's a vanity size" no, it's a bullshit size, how are you measuring my waist like 6 inches smaller than it is?
My problem is my head and my feet. Work boots and such will have varying width, but if you're buyin some converse or something? You're screwed. I wore shoes that squeezed my little toe into my other toes and caused me pain, for years. And then hats, ffs. "One size fits all" is a god damn lie, my head is the size of a watermelon and I can't get a hat to save my life. That's not an issue most of the time, until you have to buy a helmet. I jammed my head into the largest motorcycle helmet they had, shit squeezed my jaw so hard and they assured me that's normal. Yeah, it aint normal to the degree this thing's going. I've measured it, I have XXL - XXXL head size. It's bullshit.
going by sizes instead of actual measurements is the problem
really like places that specify things like length, width, length of sleeves, etc. separately
I don't think the tech for custom clothing is around yet. Pretty sure that is still mostly a manual process which means $$$. Probably won't have that until we have something like 3D printing but for cloths. There seems to be people working on a solution that involves knitting.
@@MorbidEel Going by actual measurements would be nice, but it doesn't fix the problem when nobody makes the size you need. The tech for custom clothing is around and modern 3D printing makes custom molds way easier and is a rapidly advancing field. Most clothing making doesn't require a custom mold since a quality dress form is adjustable for various sizes. The problem is that an average store that sells mass produced things made for the vast majority of people. Unfortunately that means it likely won't fit well even with the vast majority of people, but will fit good enough. Hence the boxy fit comment they made in the video. If you want something custom made, you have to go to a tailor like people used to back in zee day.
Tailoring is more expensive, but the quality is typically way better and will probably last much longer, plus it can be repaired much easier if there is a problem. Often people end up saving money with this route, but the up front cost might be discouraging, especially if their body type works well with mass produced clothes. Cobblers/shoe makers on the other hand are much harder to find these days unless you live in a big city.
In many countries (Austrialia) there's laws about what "adult-entertainment" stars have to look like because they assume short and/or flat = loli.

Happy Birthday General 🎂
I want tall girl problems talked about: I wanna be cute but I am majestic, beautiful, sexy etc. I wanna be cute. It's really uncomfortable to sit on the bus or on the train. I have less space in my own bed, under my blanket, on the blanket on the beach etc. When people hug me I don't feel fully hugged bcuz a lot of my body is not hugged bcuz it's so big. It's usually uncomfortable to cook bcuz all the things are so low I have to bend my back to chop or stir stuff. I have to eat more. All my clothes take up more space. It's harder to find shoes (both a tall girl and short girl problem I see)
There are perks though. I do not feel afraid walking around at night, people don't mess with me. Tall = respect I guess. I fell respected but I don't feel feminine
100000% feel yall on the shoes and pants. I'm a dude with some wide hips so I either have to get something that fits length wise or something that doesn't feel like it'll rip when I sit and similar story with the shoes. 8.5-9.5 double wide which straight up doesn't exist. I've given up and just started wearing shoes with mesh where my feet get big and stretching them out until it fits correctly.
I will never understand why people throw aside basic social etiquette when they interact with shorter height individuals (i.e. head pats, kabedon, pick them up with zero consent), and I say this as someone that puberty decided to bless/curse with stretching my ass to 6'+ for the rest of my life.
Me neither like... Bruh.
I know those problems in a kind of similar, but different way. I'm a guy who due to medical Issues in his youth, is about one foot smaller than he should, I'm about 5'4" (hope thats correct, I'm european, so I gotta calculate differently here :D) However, my body SHOULD have grown to about 6'4". Not a big Issue you thin, but while the height didn't grow that much, my shoulders and the rest did! I'm wide as fuck without actually being fat (I don't kid myself, I AM a bit of a hefty guy, but not THAT much). T-Shirts only fit from 5XL Upwards properly, Except for Sweatpants and Shorts I never get pants that don't have to be shortened by a bunch!
While not having the hug problems or the 'aaaaaw cuuute' ones, I definitely can feel the clothes issue in this similar way. Also my Shoes are like EU 48 size which is about.....14? 14,5? in the US. Imagine where I can get shoes that can be used to kick out forest fires. Correct - almost nowhere. Next Size: Childkoffin!
I heard them all, but Sometimes it gets reeeeaaaally frustrating, as you cannot really 'select' shoes, you gotta take what you can get, and that sucks. It sucks BIG TIME.
Btw. my favorite sentence that I use: " You got a problem? Let me just get a stepladder and we settle this eye to eye!"
why's this shit so relatable xDD epic to see other short people talk about this yknow
As a skinnier tall guy I can confirm that shoe and clothes shopping is a nightmare for either height extreme. Most stores have maybe 6 individual items (usually the same item) in my size in the entire store. Shoes are even worse, there are maybe 3 stores that carry any shoes my size in the entire city (and I live in a large city). I can't even attempt to think about fashion without spending fistfuls of cash to get tailor made clothes so I just kinda have to accept that everything is going to either be too baggy or a crop top. I can only imagine how much worse it is for women on either extreme of height.
"I'm going to go up to every big man and be like 'I'm going to put you in a cage and feed you'" - Careful. Some might be into that.
"I'll never be seen as anything other than cute." I get that... 200cm tall and it's rare to ever be considered cute. It's like every instance of Selkie being on screen in My Hero Academia even when trying to be cute. Combine the height with there being no fashion options for men to look cute. At least I can pull off a nice corset vest though.
Oof... the shoe talk hurts. I have to go to the same place basket ball players go for my shoes. A quality male size 15 or larger that lasts more than a couple weeks costs over $200 USD these days. That's just regular shoes, not even work boots or anything specialty. Sandals are over $150 USD.

Geega's story about short guys reminded me of how much of a revelation it was to me that some guys actually have a complex about women being taller than them.
Then I was like well more for me then.^^
Well, it often stems from them being looked down upon or bullied by being short. They've been told all their life that men are suppose to be taller, and seen all their life that tall guys gets favoured, and have had to deal all their life with being treated as lesser and less desirable. Like, as someone who's of average height in a country where 6 foot is very common heightism is a very real thing and if I've had to deal with it to some degree, I can only imagine what dudes under 5' 8'' have to go through.
It's a very real thing that short people get treated worse, and when it comes to guys it is rough because people are pretty much indoctrinated into seeing them as less desirable. Plenty of studies have proven that short guys are seen as less trustworthy, as less capable, and even uglier. There is a reason short guys might consider short girls their only hope, because often they are.
And this isn't just a guy problem, most men do prefer shorter women and in pursuits of relationships shorter women are favoured. But it comes with the caveat that really short women experience much of what is mentioned in the video. They are infantilized, seen as less capable and more naïve, and it's not uncommon that their agency is less respected because of that, often without malicious intent. At the same time, tall women can often be victims of heightism. They can be seen as too masculine and are more at risk of being considered bossy and overbearing, even uglier.
And mind you, heightism of both men and women are perpetuated by both men and women towards both, it's not one or the other. It might sound absurd, and it is, but it is also a sad part of reality and a form of judgement that needs to be called out.
It's because taller women tend to bully those shorter then them...

If you can afford it, a tailor would make things a lot easier. Or if you learn to sew yourself, you can buy the larger size shirts and then tailor it yourself to fit your shape. Shortening the pant leg is a simpler solution than trimming the pants to fit your legs, but it does mean your pants will fit "weird."
Still, great skill to learn if you want to save money and look fashionable. But if you don't have the time and have the expendable cash, find a good tailor.
And one of the best ways to learn is through cosplay tutorials.

I cant relate to being short, but i can relate to proportions thing. I am straight up average height dude, however i have very broad shoulders and narrow waist/hips( ever seen a toilet sign for men? Kinda like those proportions my shoulders are 2x my hips in width) buying hirts is pure unadulterated pain, if i try a medium or small it fits decent around my body apart from my chest and shoulders where i cant even button it or if i can my sleeves are now 5+cm too short, if i try a large it fits perfectly on my shoulder and chest, but usually sleeves are too long, the shirts instead of reaching to about mid my gluteous it is now mid thigh and across my saist i could fit two of me. So i have to buy large shirts and have them tailored and that ups the total cost by anywhere between 25 to 50% depending on price of the shirt.
Being non standard is pure pain

Only PDF Files feel like they are being baited by a short woman. It is pretty obvious whether or not someone is a child or just a tiny adult. It is the opposite that is actually dangerous when some 15 year old went through megapuberty and already fully grew everywhere you probably can't tell without asking; there were a couple girls like tha tat my high school.
Geega does not give off short girl energy at all. You’d never know she and Ironmouse are the same height unless you look it up.
this sure was a targeted thumbnail lmao
The giant girl enjoyer in me had a neuron activation with that thumbnail...
I'm sorry, but if you can't differentiate between a short adult and an actual child you got problems.
I generally don't notice when people are really short because I'm 6'8" and everyone's really short. Also, funnily I relate to a lot of what was said because I was also constantly singled out for my physical differences. The frustrating part of being tall though is that people think they're complimenting you while saying really rude stuff.
Short women having to turn their faces into the Chad face to look mature enough to not get IDd, but still unable to get on the roller coaster
i guess makeup for women is like facial hair for men. im a manlet but i recently grew out my mustache and now people don't even card me for alcohol unless its at a restaurant or something.
One conclusion I’ve reached is just, in general, don’t comment on people’s body’s appearance in general. Neither positively nor negatively. If it’s something that especially stands out, they’ve likely heard both sides enough times to get tired. And if it’s a compliment, wouldn’t you be happier to be complimented on a decision you took rather than something outside your control? It’s pretty common to compliment people’s hair when they get a haircut for example, and imagine you pick your favorite shirt or something and someone says it looks good, not only would that be nice it’s less embarrassing for everyone involved
edit: also even still, read the room lol
My cousin, she is 4'10" and I'm 5'4". (I'm probably 5'2" if i took my shoes off but let me delude myself.)
I I ironically look up to my cousin, she is awesome. I sometimes even go without shoes when she wears her high heels or boots so she seems taller than me. She treats me as if i was the short one. Head pats, trying to pick me up, talks about putting me in a terrarium, all that. I surprisingly enjoy the way she treats me.
Geega is a woman of culture, got the Etna them in the background. Good taste, my dear. 👍
Just heard, happy birthday, Geega. 🎉 🎂.
As someone who likes short women, those people that say "oh, you're a child" to you piss me off so much. Like, *have you seen a woman before?* Short adults still look like adults, and it's bewildering to see people just accept that 'short = child'.
Never mind that it essentially accuses me of being a pedophile, but whatever.
Happy Birthday!
"it puts the lotion on its skin" *intensifies*
Honestly, as a larger person, I have the same clothing problems but inverted. They always have one or two sizes too small for shoes. I have a hard time finding shirts that fit me without being extremely baggy because I'm tall with braud shoulders, but I'm not large in the front. Same with jeans, they just don't sell the dimensions I have very often. It's so annoying.
Happy late birthday Geega
About men sizes, I am 5'8" even like track pants large size is like 6 inches to long. Same with shirts to long.
So, I relate to a degree.
True
I also 5'7
I had a friend in highschool who came up to about the door knob, her mom also worked with the school and was barely any taller. Brightside of being that small was she was really easy for the cheer team to throw in the air.
Oh God... The clothes!
I am a man, but I had a co-worker, lady in her 50's or older, hardcore engineer. She was petite for the country we are living in. I saw she had to wear kids jeans with the sparkly stuff because, as mentioned, there were no clothes her size available around here.
I can only imagine her frustration if even I noticed when I wasn't even trying to look!
I laughed way too hard when I saw twitter rants about the height of consent.
Short Queens Rise Up lmao
Man as someone who is kinda small for a guy which for any one that’s curious I’m 4’9 and 30 years old but luckily I never had an issue which is surprising to me because you would think I would be an easy target growing up but luckily nothing 👍🏽
Im 6'4 so i get the reverse, "wow, you're so tall, do you play basketball?" I've gotten ido how many times
If it makes anyone feel better, I'm 191/192 and my friends will loose sight of me in, not only crowds, but also when we're just walking in the supermarket and stuff
That thumbnail has a threatening aura
This is so damn real! Because I am attracted to women that are shorter than me and I am 1,76 so I am not tall, I have heard ALL these arguments too. That I am a Pdo just because I enjoy women that are shorter than me. That it is weird and unnatural to be into women that are too short.
But ay, if I was 2,10 I would still love women that are shortar than me but I can´t control how tall I am.
But that is fucking weird! Some people are just fucking weird! People have the dumbest opinions towards short women. Hight doesn´t mean youth. But I have heard all of the arguments you guys mentioned before too...
I certainly don´t think short women have any issues just because they are short. Any woman can be sexy and beautiful. It is certianly not not due to something you can´t control that would make you unsexy or unattractive.
I can relate to the hate towards headpats. I am 6ft now, but when I was a child and was forced to go to the church, some old people would just reach and pat. Like wtf? Am I your child? No? Then just keep your hands to yourself.
Now being on the other side, the intrusive thought to headpat is definitely there sometimes. Still wouldn't ever do it, hopefully the intrusive thought never wins.
bro you 2 are a mood. im 4'8, and a 6 in shoes. USED to be a 5-ish, but getting shoes that don't cramp my toes made my size a lil bigger. AND THE MF JEANS ISSUE, and the shirts, bro. i spend $40 on a pair and i gotta RE-HEM the thing! and they only last a year, bc THIGHS.
I live in texas and I come from a Hispanic family and community. Mostly all of the women i know are 5'- 4'10". It baffles me when people can't believe or think that short women exist
it's true, I am a short guy, 5'2", and if I see a short woman I just get a quiet smile. I saw an Avatar: Legend of Korra meme where she's imagining tilting her (shipped) gf's head up to kiss her and her gf walks in several inches taller and says "tilt whose head up?" Most of the women I have dated have been taller than me, which is fine, I don't have an ego about it, but there is that lifelong regret of never being able to protectively shelter and nurture a shorter partner. It's hard to describe but I am just never going to be Big Spoon, ya know? So yeah, props to the shorties, it makes me happy just seeing you.
yes, Gretchen's a dude, the internet go figure :)
