How do I deal with height insecurity? I'm a 5'5" guy and I compare my height to basically every male I pass out of insecurity. How can I stop being insecure over something I cannot control?

How big is your benis?
>>
>>32610072
It’s normal you’re insecure, it’s cause you know any man and most women would win in a fight. You’re lucky your born in the 2000 and not during the caveman ages
>>
>>32610096
If he was born in those times he wouldn't be a manlet. Cavemen had a good diet unlike OP who probably had parents who thought broccoli was healthy.

I'm 6'2" I was always the tallest kid in school until high school.

in grade school all the short faggots want to fight you.

in high school everyone asks if you are going to play basket ball or football (I have no interest in sports).

women only liking tall guys is a trope. I married a woman almost 12 inches shorter than me. I would have no problem with a woman my height or taller.

accept yourself the way you are. until you do that, you will never be happy.
>>
>>32610072
I'm slightly taller than you at 5'7-8 so I've felt similar to you and can offer some insight. Is it just because other guys are bigger than you or is it cause you think your height is affecting some other part of you life (dating, self confidence, etc)
>>
>>32610072
Take up any of wrestling, judo, nogi-bjj, or submission grappling.

The knowledge
>look, maybe you're tall, but unless you're trained, if I hit a double leg or a throw before you hit a knockout punch, you're taking a nap
does wonders for your confidence.

i'm 6'2 with 4inches. id rather be you desu
>>
OP work on your posture. I know this sounds silly but us short guys feel smaller than we actually are. Likewise, lots of tall dudes slouch.
>>
>>32610192
Not OP but I'm 5'9-10 and in the last few months I've noticed I seem noticeably shorter than most other people in my age bracket. Beginning to wonder if that's affected my dating prospects. The irony is that it's probably my insecurities themselves that cause it. I've looked into the statistics and I'm dead average in terms of height but it really doesn't seem like it when I go around in public. It really sucks because I didn't give this any thought until last year. After my (very autistic and awkward) friend told me about a few women randomly giving him their number/flirting with him it planted that seed in my head. I've never had that happen and we worked at the same job where it happened and that's the only notable difference I can think of between us.
>>
Height doesn't matter. I'm 6'0 and I'm a total khv. I'd say face matters way more
>>
>>32610395
Face matters more but height is definitely very important
>>
>>32610509
I think even a lot of ugly faces look good with the right haircut, so being stylish and tall is best.
>>
>>32610072
you can't, you will always be seen as inferior by women
>>
>>32610395

>>32610603
The differing opinions make me think this whole attraction MIGHT just be subjective. And as with anything in life, you can't please everybody. I mean, really. You cannot, it's impossible.
>>
this whole attraction thing*
>>
>>32610606
This, best you can do is be smarter than everyone and continue.

Ding ding ding ding

>go to bjj
>"oh sorry looks like no one your size showed up. you'll have to fight with the girls again"
>all the actual men spar on one side while your manlet self has to spar with women
>>
>>32611037
>has to spar with women
I see no downside to this.
>>
>>32611037
yeah that would suck so much haha
