How to be confident while small

Alright, so I'm 18 and 5ft6, and while I do think I started puberty later than most, I doubt I will grow any more.

How do I still maintain self-esteem while living with the knowledge that women are viscerally repulsed by my stature, and men will simultaneously pity and disparage me? How can I possibly have any confidence to speak of at this height?

I'm off to University in a year, and I know how much of an ordeal it will be for me as far as women go; so how do I fortify myself to be able to deal with all the mockery and rejection I will have to endure?

>>18668557
I've dated a guy your height, I know guys shorter than you with girlfriends. It is not a life sentence.

Find pride in other things other than your looks.
>>
Stop giving a fuck. If you were tall you'd just find something else to be insecure about. Acquire currency and fuck bitches, the best way.
>>
>>18668560
>I know guys shorter than you with girlfriends.
Yeah, but it's rare. Like how some people with facial disfugurements have girlfriends.
>>
>>18668567
No it's not rare at all. Stop believing in /r9k/ memes and go outside.

It's not just a 4chan thing though, I'm sure of it. Women almost invariably are disgusted by short men.

Pic VERY MUCH related.

My boyfriend is literally like an inch shorter than me and i'm your height. Lol
Your height doesn't define you. Your interests and personality defines you. Get off the internet and stop filling your head with the idea that you are undesirable. Get out there, walk with your head up, speak loudly and clearly, be confident. Geez it's not the end of the world if you're not 6 feet. There are plenty of girls like me who don't give a fuck about height. Height doesn't prove loyalty or what you bring to the table. Yes, i get told that my boyfriend is short and he is the best thing to come into my shitty 19 years of life. My first bf (before i dated my current bf) was taller than me and he cheated on me several times. Jesus dude it's really not that bad. calm your tiddies
>>
Anyone who uses height as the sole basis for why they don't have a gf probably doesn't talk to girls in the first place
>>
>>18668601
No, just somebody who pays attention to what society thinks of his kind.
>>
>>18668629
Well, you're right there, I don't. But I've decided there's no point. It's better to seem like you don't care than to seem like a desperate sexually frustrated>>18668629
Manlet.
>>
>>18668580
I guarantee you most of these girls are fat or they're hoes fucking y'all men just bc they're tall. They'll settle for a normal man after they get tired of being used over and over.
>>
>>18668646
You're posting /r9k/ memes. Leave the basement and experience the real world for a change.
>>
>>18668656
I'm posting twitter and Instagram screenshots that are very real. Why do you insist on denying reality?
>>
>>18668651
Giving up before the game starts isn't taking the high ground. Maybe instead of height you should grow a pair of balls
>>
>>18668784
You're posting cherrypicked shots of ugly minorities. Do you even look at your meme posts? Those are all 2/10s at most.

How tall are you and why are you a virgin?
>>
>>18668792
I'm just being a realist.
>>
>>18668794
>How tall are you and why are you a virgin?
5ft6 and because I'm 5ft6
>>
>>18668803
Strange. I'm also 5'6" and have fucked over 20 girls and had a few gfs. It sounds like you are the exception. I don't know any virgins your height.
>>
5'3 hypermanlet reporting. It seems like my chances are pretty slim
>>
>>18668567
It is not rare.
Statistically speaking, most women women want to date a man taller than them, but you're not a dwarf - there are plenty of girls shorter than you, and there are STILL girls who are taller than you and would date a guy your height anyway.

Would it be easier if you were taller? Yeah.
Does it mean it is impossible? No.
>>
>>18668800
Realist is accepting you aren't in a relationship because you don't try. Fatalist is more like how you're acting.
>>
>>18668838
It's not easier if you're taller. I know it's anecdotal but all the men I know who get the most pussy are below average height. And the only permavirgin types I know are tall and lanky.
>>
>>18668838
"Date shorter girls" is a retarded meme. You will have maybe even better chances with taller girls.
>>
>>18668843
I mean, I just assumed that was the case. I don't have stats.

Anyway, it hardly matters - you can't change your height and it makes no sense to sit there and cry because of something outside of your control.
You can make the best out of your condition, however poor it is.

I know a lot of short guys (even shorter than OP) who are dating and fucking around, so I know it doesn't matter as much as 4chan says.
>>
>>18668844
You have chances with both.
My best friend is 5'0" and dated a guy who is 5'5", I am 5'7" and I dated a guy who is my height.

Fuck, my roommate is 5'10 and she was dating a 5'5 guy.
>>
I'm 5'7 skinmyfat ans fucked 6 girls.
Though I'm actually socially competent and have a nice face
>>
>>18668826
Why should I believe you're not LARPing?
>>
>>18668850
I have a nice face, tbqh, though it's a little chubby. I'm just really shy, I suppose. Still, my face doesn't count for much when I'm so small.
>>
>>18668947
Why should I believe you're not LARPing? Often the "boohoo I can't get girls because I'm short if I were tall I'd get lots of pussy" are in fact tall bitter virgins.
>>
>>18668951
Every girl will take the good-looking short guy over the plain-looking tall guy. Stop deluding yourself.
>>
>>18668956
Maybe, but I've only ever been approached by a girl once, so... I mean, I'm intentionally aloof and a bit short because I'm shy, so maybe that's it. Probably doesn't help that I lost all my friends

I just feel like it's got more to do with my height.
>>
>>18668580
>Nigresses and roasties

If you need to be approved by these kinds of girls maybe your height isn't the problem here
>>
>>18668964
>shy
In my experience, when a guy repeatedly uses this word as an excuse, it means "socially incompetent autistic sperglord".
>>
>>18668580
Those women are worthless. Think about what they're saying. Do you report women to the police for being ugly or fat. Their logic is fucked
>>
>>18668557
It's not huge deal OP. Of course their will be some girls who might overlook you but generally if you have a good personality and some charm you'll do fine.

I'm 5'11" (so average height) and dated a 6' woman for a while, and when she had heels on she'd be a lot taller than me. She had no problem with it and neither did I!
>>
>>18669022
Nah, I know how to socialise, but I'm just too nervous too because anxiety.
>>
>>18668557
So you're short. That sucks. But that's also just you.

Seriously, you are overthinking this OP. If you just have some personality and attend parties and try to make friends with people at University you will be fine. I'm a tall guy and I have plenty of short friends and among them one of the guys (don't know his exact height, maybe 5'8"?) is dating a girl who is almost a head taller than him. Why? Because they became friends and got along.

Stop worrying about your height so much mate.

Because you're a femboi cuck.
>>
>>18669160
I can guarantee without even knowing them that most of your short friends have no success with women.
>>
>>18669163
>those ankles
did she arrive from auschwitz ?
>>
>>18668557
Ive met a lot of dudes who are short and have no problems with women, and some who do and managed to date anyway.

You pretty much lost your shot in online dating and tinder apps. Something like 70% of women said they wont date a short man. That means 3/10 women would consider it. And those 70% still are talking pure superficial. They can still be swayed if you charm them.

Its harder for you, sure. But youll sink faster thinking its impossible and becoming a bitter little leprechaun about it than just being short ever could fuck you over.

I know not one single short person who is still a virgin. And i know quite a few of them.

Does that sound like rare to you?
My very best friend from childhood is 5'5. Hes had several girlfriends (all pretty good looking) and hes engaged now.

I guarantee if you keep crying you will be a virgin for life.
>>
>>18669156
If you can't talk to people and start shaking whenever you try to open your mouth, that's not being shy. That's called having a serious mental problem.
>>
>>18669164
I can guarantee without even knowing you that you will never have success with women, whether you're tall or short.
>>
>>18669181
That's pure bullshit. Even if you were able to source that 70% (you won't), girls just often say "I want a tall guy" as a preference. And none of them will actually mean that, as they will forget about height as soon as a short guy comes along who charms them.

I'm 5'9" and have fucked girls from Tinder who had "only 6' or above" on their writeup.
>>
>>18669194
I think i said that in my post. "Even then its purely superficial. They can still be swayed.
>>
>>18669198
You said that online dating is completely hopeless for short men and that 70% of women won't date short men. Are you taking back what you said now? Because it's easy to show you're wrong. If anything, shorter men have even a slight advantage on Tinder because no height is listed.
>>
>>18669202
>taking back what i said
>its still right fucking there "can be swayed with charm" almost exactly what you said.

Also i was doing resource and survey checking. 1.2% of women would contact a man online if his height was under 6' *in new york* youre right, you dont have to list it. "Lost your shot online" was over stepping.

But thats some serious napolean complex if youre this aggressive about that one part of it, when i said basically exactly what you said back as a counter argument.

Also i think my main point was for OP to stop crying about it because he can do just fine. We're on the same side here bro. Chill out.
>>
>>18669214
That's some passive-aggressive bitter virgin lanklet coping. You're trying to drag OP down to your level.
>>
>>18669214
>1.2% of women would contact a man online if his height was under 6' *in new york*
How many % would contact a man online if his height was over 6' *in new york* ?
>>
>>18669188
I'm not as bad as I used to be. I basically stopped talking to anyone after a period of sustained bullying in secondary school, and lost all of my friends (I used to have maybe 14 who I'd regularly hang out with).

I'm just glad to be out of school now, and I can interact without getting very nervous when I'm not at school, so that bodes well I suppose.
>>
>>18669228
Sounds like you still have some ways to go. Keep practicing social interaction and don't fall back on the "but I'm shy!" excuse.
>>
>>18669233
I'm going to get a bar or restaurant job pre-University, I think. I just want to get back to being as confident as I used to be.
>>
>>18669251
Sounds like a plan. Good luck! And don't let some bitter posters in this thread pull you down. Just get your confidence together and you'll be getting girls easily in no time.
>>
>>18669163
No I just like beautiful tall women with great personality. I feel bad that you have to make up story lines in your head of strangers on the internet though :/
>>
>>18669156
Then you don't fucking know how to socialize. Part of socialization is being comfortable in the situation. If you're uncomfortable, how can you expect the person you're talking with to be comfortable? And if they're uncomfortable, why would you expect them to want to talk to you?

It doesn't sound like your height is a problem, it sounds like it's "your anxiety" "shyness" "autism." Whatever you want to call it.

In response to girls not approaching you, gz, welcome to life. Males are generally the ones who have to make the first move in society.

Don't think that all people love tall people. That's not how it works everyone is different. We all have different kinks, preferences for things. If that certain girl likes tall people then don't go for her or tell her to fucking get a grip and stop being a bitch. Be a man, small people are awesome. We can fit under vending machines and grap that money for tha bitches and buy a candy bar and then we get lad points cuz we fucked her the next day. Different people have different purposes. Like in the footy picture that you posted, usually the short guy is great for attacking and getting past the defence and they're usually fast as fuck even on Fifa just look at the stats when you change the height. Tall people are great for defence as they can just be like "nope you aint getting past me biatch", small people be like "Im fast as fuck boiiiiii".

Step 1: get money.

Step 2: don't spend it.

Step 3: get muscles.

Step 4: don't expect to exploit them for getting your way.

Step 5: practice your social skills early and often.
>>
19 and 5'5 here OP. Been with my gf for 2 years now, she's 1 or 2 in taller too.

I dont try to act like it's a source of insecurity, because that's the biggest turn off. Learn to laugh at yourself too but not go too hard on the self deprecation.
>>
>>18668557
height is a 4chan/internet meme don't let it get to your head. Irl most ppl don't give a shit. Im personally 5'7 and I have never noticed any different treatment. My friend who is only 5'4 not only had a girlfriend (solid 6/10) before me but also lost his v card first. I reality is
Money>face>body>personality>height alone.
As long as you are not a literal midget everything will be fine
>>
>>18669313
Well, that's the point I was trying to make. It's not autism; I've been categorically told by profressionals it's an anxiety problem.

Therefore, I know how to socialise, that is; I understand social cues and the proper ways to act, I just obviously don't have the confidence to act on that.
