I hate my life.

But am I a midget by American male standards?

I cannot say this enough but a positive attitude and positive way of thinking will help so much, thinking negatively will never get you anywhere and doesn't help you at all. we all have our down turns and ruts, we just need to learn how to pick ourselves back up!

dude u will find a girl who is shorter than you. i have a mate who is the same height and he went through the smae thing. now is happily married with that girl! ur day will come :)

my friend is similar and he got married. now with one daughter. keep the faith!

It is hard being short. If you feel unmanly, what can you do to feel manly? Take good care of yourself, start working out. Get yourself a new sharp outfit (even if you have to go to goodwill). and change your focus on hating yourself to finding good things in your life. You have all your parts, and they're working right? You breath and you don't even have to think about it. You have somewhere to sleep and when you flip a switch, a light comes on easily. Focus on what is good in your life, count your blessings and your energy will start to change!

You hate your life, life will hate you too, pay attention to your words, I mean cause-effect relation, it´s true, own experience. I mean if you know to understand it more spiritually and profound..

Forgod sake if that's the only thing you had to worrie about in your life, hay look everyone is built different, shape, sizes, some people are born with limbs missing, I'm not been nasty but I really think you need look around the world today and see what's going on, and good idea not to say stuff on hear unless u really mean it, sorry but that has ticked me of

Your thoughts are self sabotaging.

You have everything that you need to make girls go for you.
Important things are your self esteem and self confidence, little bit of decency in approaching your crushes and there you go...

Its not at all a big thing to impress a girl. Keep the faith.

Kid hasn't been around in awhile...wonder if he actually did the deed?

I think OP and I were the only ones on this forum to deal with this problem. Being short is psychologically damaging for males but everyone else just dismisses the pain that goes with being short..Poor guy.

You have one of two choices - give up and get nothing or try and possibly get something.
When I was in HS - we had some average Joe guy who was dating some lady who was like six foot tall.

I do not think this is an obstacle to your purpose namely getting in touch with a girl.

Stop digging up old threads.

I hate mine now too, wah, sob, hangs head down. I think at some point we all go through this stage.
