Height insecurity

I'm 5'4" and have been that way basically since I was a freshman in high school. On top of that I have a baby face and if I don't shave for a month I end up with what looks like a 12 year old's mustache and about 6 or 7 crazy hairs on my chin. I'm sober now so I don't buy booze but I'm sure I would get carded half the time still since a lot of places still card me for smomes haha. I've never cared about being short since it never seemed to matter getting chicks or anything.

As far as wanting to be an actor there are tons of short guys in Hollywood as has been pointed out already. He'll look at Tom Cruise, he's been a leading man in tinsel town since the 80's. You could always do like Seth Green and build your own empire.

Thank God I am 6'1". I feel that is perfect. Taller than the majority but not too tall that I stand out in a crowd.
 
I'm like 5'9 1/2 or 5'10 with hopefully one or two inches left in my growth. I'm not super tall, but at least I'm not super short. Sometimes I'll feel really short at school due to the humongous athletes.

My ideal height would be something like 6'1.
 
I'm just 5'10, and 5'11 in certain shoes/boots. Also for smaller people it's how you carry yourself and being comfortable and confident with yourself, then height doesn't seem to be taken into account so much.

I might not say that though if I was 5'4 or something.
 
I'm 5'9". My parents for some reason seem to think I'm tall (I'm taller than them), but I was shorter than a lot of my guy classmates in high school. I don't really care though. I wouldn't want to be super short, but I also wouldn't want to be super tall. I think I'm pretty average height for people around here, or maybe slightly below, which is fine.
 
I like acting a lot and I've always hoped and wished someday I could be one, but it'd be hard enough considering I'm a minority, but the fact that I'm short destroys my hypothetical and potential chances even more. It's kinda depressing.

As others have pointed out, I'm not sure where you get this from. Tom Cruise has been one of the biggest movie stars in the world and an action hero and romantic leading man since the '80s. Also, being short didn't hurt Michael J. Fox, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Danny DeVito, etc., all of whom are a lot shorter than Cruise.

I'm 5'4" myself and have no problem with it, never had an issue with the ladies and I don't go around trying to pick fights or prove I'm some kind of tough guy. It just is what it is, nothing I could do about so why should I care?

That's cool man, you are comfortable, accepting and confident.

Also not having an issue with the ladies is a massive help for any guy, no matter what the height. :woot:
 
Deej has no issues with ladies because no lady actually goes near him.

I wasn't a confident guy in high school, it really wasn't the height thing I just had self-esteem issues. But after I got out of high school and just went into full on f*** it mode and did and said whatever I wanted without caring about others I started getting a lot of hot chicks. I have always been a good talker and moderately funny guy (albeit with a very weird sense of humor) so that helped a lot. It's also one of the reasons I'm such an awesome salesman and telemarketer. When I went into the Navy and went through boot camp that also helped me in the way that I carry myself, not slouching head up, eyes forward. When it comes to the ladies I've always found that being funny and brutally honest is the best ticket. No need to shower them with compliments or neg them like those BS pick-up artist say. I can't even count how many times I was out partying and just told a girl I would give her the best sex of her life and went home with her and proceeded to fulfill my promise
 
I'm like 5'9'5-5'10 but I'm also Asian. I might as well be Yao Ming.

Are you sure you don't have anything to prove? :woot::o:cwink:

Only joking DJ, you remind me of myself a little actually, I have a weird sense of humor too, but I've never told a girl I'd give her the best sex of her life. The being honest thing works though and I never use chat up lines or BS stuff as you say.

Respect as well man for serving your country :up:

Haha well I will say I may have talked up my prowess in the bedroom a bit whilst I was intoxicated but 9 times out of 10 I delivered a very satisfying evening. I'm the type of guy that gets more enjoyment from pleasing my partner in the bedroom than just trying to get mine and roll over and go to sleep, that's just me though.

Too much info territory :mnm:

hehe. I bet you're highly prized for your genetics by Asian girls and their family's then eh?

You could make a fortune at the sperm bank!

In 25 years time you could be responsible for populating the world with enormous Asian guys who tower over Westerners and throw basketballs around to each other over the heads of everyone else especially when in crowded situations and on the commute to work.

That's what I imagine anyway.

Yeah, I'm weird :woot:

I totally did that as a younger man. It didn't have anything to do with my height though. I was just kind of an a-hole.

Oh you smoothie you :woot:.

You definitely know what the ladies want to hear haha. Salesman you say..? :cwink:

Joking aside I have to say I'm the same about needing to know that I've pleased my partner (not just sexually). Giving is better than receiving they say. Although I'm sure we all like a good receive :woot:



Sooo, height insecurity then...
 
Bunch of manlets in here.

[BLACKOUT]Kidding.[/BLACKOUT]

Acting is the last job you would need to worry about your height over. Actors are well known for generally being short.

Interesting. Here are the heights of the Fast & Furious actors according to this...

Haha if you think that is TMI you may be a bit to sensitive for this whole internet thing :cwink:

I was def a bit of an a**hole as a young adult too but as I said I'm a good talker so I could usually avoid any fisticuffs, it's amazing how many problems you can solve by buying somebody a drink. Although I did get into one fight when I was drunk just for the experience I guess when I was 25 or so, this guy punched me in the face and I fell over. When I got back up I told him he won and went back into Waffle House to finish my breakfast haha

Oh you smoothie you :woot:.

I can sell a ketchup Popsicle to a little old lady in white gloves :woot:

My whole problem when it comes to the ladies is just getting bored with them in about a month or so. My baby mama was the only girl that didn't happen with and that ended oh so horribly. I'm 31 and have only had 2 long term relationships. I'm now at a point in my life where I would like to find a special someone who's company I enjoy and could start a family with. But I'm just so damn picky
